Personally, I LOVE VeggieTales. It’s a fun computer animated series that combines great humor with Bible based lessons and values. And now Larry the Cucumber, Bob the Tomato, and the rest of the gang are entering into the 21st century with an interactive episode of VeggieTales for your iPad or iPhone (reviewed on iPad here).

Double Dragon (PS3)
Posted on January 22nd, 2014 by
Double Dragon is widely considered to be one of the first side scrolling beat ‘em up games, and it had a huge impact on the video games and entertainment industries. It spawned several sequels in the arcade and ports on home consoles. They had crossover adventures with other video game heroes, such as the Battletoads. There was even an animated series and live action movie about Double Dragon. And only a couple of years ago, there was an 80’s reference-filled remake called Double Dragon Neon (and I even reviewed it). But did you know that at one point, there was a Double Dragon one-on-one fighting game? I didn’t know that, and I thought I knew all there was to know about Double Dragon. Anyway, this game was for the Neo Geo and Japan-only PlayStation. MonkeyPaw Games is releasing several import PSOne games for download on the PS3, and their first one is this Double Dragon title!

A group of militant gun-toting vigilantes are out to stop a drug cartel in Mexico. With a premise like that, you’d expect AntiSquad to be some kind of first person shooter action game. But it’s not! AntiSquad is actually a strategy game for iPad and iPhone (reviewed on iPad here).

SEGA Genesis Classic Game Console with 80 Built in Games: Part 2
Posted on January 12th, 2014 by
Last time on my blog, we looked at the new SEGA Genesis console I got for Christmas that has 80 built-in games in it. The first half were SEGA Genesis classics, but the next batch isn’t what you might think. The last 40 games are original titles, mostly simple casual style or arcade games. I think this is a bit misleading, since the front of the box does say 80 games, and only shows Genesis cartridges. But the back of the box does show screens of all the games, so smart shoppers can probably figure that out. Still, if I were writing the text for the box, I would’ve said, “40 Genesis classics and 40 original titles” or something. At any rate, here are the last half of the games on the console.
