Disney Sing It: Pop Hits
ALL PLATFORMS. Karaoke music games are well represented and since we no longer have to deal with the garbage that was “cover” songs – we have the real artists – the song list is a make or break proposition. Here’s the list for DISNEY Sing It. See if you know any of them. See if your kids know any of them. There’s a version that comes with a microphone too:
Bayonetta Demo: What to Expect
This week, on Thursday, December 3, Sega is releasing a demo version of their highly anticipated game: Bayonetta for Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. The full game will be out early next year, but I got a chance to try out the demo a little early, so here’s a sneak peek on what you’ll see in the trial game next week.
Cary’s Koopa Kid Day Care
Big news, folks! I own my very own day care center now. I’m taking care of eight kids! But they’re all from the same family! Their dad is a real tyrant, though, but he said that if I watched his children, he’d help me kidnap Princess Zelda. See, Link would always suspect Ganon, but never me! Muwa ha ha haaa! OK, so this is just a silly way to introduce my favorite part of New Super Mario Bros. Wii: the return of the Koopa Kids! And this whole blog is dedicated to them. It’s a little silly, but a little silliness is OK every once in a while!

With Thanksgiving upon us and the holidays right around the corner, there’s going to be a lot of eating, serving food, waiting on people, and cleaning up after them. So why not get some practice in with the Xbox Live version of Diner Dash, based on the popular online PC game.

Game Review: My Baby: First Steps (Wii, DS)
In the original My Baby Boy/Girl game on Nintendo DS, you helped raise a virtual baby from birth to its first step. Now in the sequel, My Baby: First Steps for DS and Wii (Wii version reviewed here), you’ll be continuing on, raising your baby to help it walk with more confidence and teaching its first words.
EA Active & GamerMom
We were at a local GameStop. I had enough trade in value to buy everybody a game. I picked up Tekken 6 + special controller, Henry picked Mario & Sonic Olympic Winter Games for DS, Maggie picked My Sims Party for DS, and GamerMom? Her first chance to just BUY a game. Indulge in her curiosity? What does SHE buy? EA Active. An excercise game for the Wii. Here’s her take!
Game Review: Wii Fit Plus (Wii)
I was late to the Wii Fit party. I had heard about the peripheral, but my enjoyment of casual games didn’t quite draw me in. Fast forward six months after the game released, and I had read enough raving reviews (here and elsewhere) about the fun and exercise that can be had with the Wii Fit. Proof of its popularity, even six months after its release it was still hard to find a copy of the game. After a month of shopping around I bought a copy and haven’t looked back. Nintendo knows when they have a good title on their hands, and has recently released an update to the original Wii Fit that expands gamer options.
