Game Review: Little League Baseball World Series 2010 (360, PS3)
You know what’s strange? I find baseball a very boring sport to watch both on TV and live. But whenever one of my little brothers or cousins ever had a Little League game, I would never pass up the chance to go watch them play. The kids were always more entertaining than the pros. It was great seeing my little brothers out there on the field having fun and learning valuable lessons on teamwork without too much pressure to win (or make money). And now you can enjoy all the fun of Little League with Little League Baseball World Series 2010 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 (360 version reviewed here).

Game Review: The Mystery of the Crystal Portal (PSP Minis)
When you were a kid, did you ever read Highlights Magazine? My favorite section was the Hidden Pictures page, where you had to find certain objects scattered about a large backdrop. Now you can have that same kind of picture-finding fun on the PSP with The Mystery of the Crystal Portal, a downloadable Minis title.
