Yesterday, December 9, was one of my little brother’s, Jeff’s 18th birthday! (Wow, they grow up so fast.) And right on time, thanks to Nintendo and a good friend of mine (thanks, buddy, you know who you are), I got a Wii Party prize package in the mail yesterday, right on his birthday! So, when his friends came over to celebrate, I had each one of them tell me in a sentence why they like Wii Party.

Game Review: Intellivision Lives! (DS)
Posted on December 7th, 2010 by
Back in the late 70’s and early 80’s, the Atari 2600 was king of the consoles. But just like today, there was competition back then, too. One of the competing game consoles was the Intellivision, featuring better graphics, more complex games and controls, and even voice samples. I never had an Intellivision as a kid, so I don’t have too many special memories about it. However, my cousins owned one, so I would get to play it when we would visit them in Alabama for Christmas. I remember playing Frog Bog with my cousin Jana for an entire afternoon! Now you can enjoy Frog Bog and more than 60 other classic games with Intellivision Lives! for the Nintendo DS.
Game Review: Nail’d (360, PS3)
Posted on December 5th, 2010 by
Nail’d is a fast-paced, over the top off-road racer featuring 4-wheelers and motorcycles (360 version reviewed here). In Tournament Mode, the main part of the game, race in different events to unlock more and try to make it to the Nail’d Grand Finale. Most events require you place in a race, but others challenge you to get the highest score by doing tricks, or by tweaking other rules by giving you endless boost. Races start out easy but get more challenging later on.
