As a gaming expert – excuse me – as a gaming with children expert there are still a few holes in my game knowledge. I confess, Pokemon is a big one. Having only seen the TV show – which I maintain is horrible beyond measure – and being familiar with the general idea, I sort of lumped it into the Online Role Playing Game category as a game I don’t recommend because it’s a time sink, and kids do not need time sinks in their already too busy lives. (That’s probably the worst structured sentence I’ve ever written. But it’s early and I haven’t had my coffee.)

In Fragile Dreams, a new anime advventure for the Nintendo Wii, play as Seto, a teenage boy who lives in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. When the old man he lives with passes away, Seto loses the only one he knows in the world. So, armed with only a flashlight and whatever he can carry on his back, Seto sets out into the ruins of the Earth to try and find others like him, and maybe along the way he’ll reveal the mystery of what caused this catastrophe.

Lunar: The Silver Star is one of the most beloved classic role playing games. It was originally for the Sega CD and later remade for the PlayStation.

Alex teams up with friends old and new on a quest to become a Dragonmaster just like his hero, and they’ll end up saving the world from evil again in the process!

Review: Faceez (DSi)
Posted on March 11th, 2010 by
Ah, photo frames, the staple of any novelty gift shop. Have you ever been to a gift store or souvenir stand where they have those picture frames where you put a photo of a person’s face in the frame or bobblehead? And the rest of the frame is like a stick figure person doing something silly like fishing or skateboarding? Well, Faceez, a downloadable camera program for the Nintendo DSi, is like a digital version of those kooky photo frames.
The Games of Touchmaster 3 (DS)
Posted on March 10th, 2010 by
St. Patrick’s Day is coming up soon, and many partygoers will be hitting the bars that night. If you’re one of the folks who will be doing that, DRINK RESPONSIBLE AND BE CAREFUL! Anyway, one of the video games you can find in many bars (besides the run down Golden Tee Golf machine) is Touchmaster. These touch screen casual games are great for passing the time while waiting for your friends at bars, and many of these games have been ported to the DS in the Touchmaster collections. So in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, here’s a rundown of all the games you can find in the third edition of Touchmaster for DS.
Endless Ocean: Blue World
Posted on March 8th, 2010 by
Endless Ocean is the kind of software hardcore gamers tend to hate. There’s really not much game to it, you swim around beautiful corral and oceanic landscapes full of different kinds of fish, gaze in wonder at whales, and in this game, you avoid sharks. The music is tranquil, the gameplay is simple and you get to feed and pet fish. Petting fish teaches you about them – and yeah, that’s weird. If you scuba in real life it’s not a good idea to pet the fish.

KORG DS-10 Plus
Posted on March 1st, 2010 by
KORG is a maker of musical instruments, and now you can have one of their analog synthesizers in your own pocket. No need to lug around a big keyboard, and it’s a lot less expensive, too. KORG DS-10 Plus is a powerful little tool, but you’d best have prior knowledge of music and synthesizers before jumping in!
