Posted on April 11th, 2008 by
Warhawk is a sequel to a game most people won’t remember – but that’s okay, remembering isn’t necessary. The game is a massively multiplayer shoot-fest that lets players ride in vehicles or soar through the air – all while fighting real people with real skills. We reviewed it at GamerDad and gave it our 14+ seal. Here’s my review at CrispyGamer.com.
Review – Worms: A Space Oddity
Posted on April 9th, 2008 by
Worms… in… spaaace! The wacky, wily, wiggly, worms find themselves on another console, this time the Wii. Time for some waskally wagglin’? Here’s the content review at WhatTheyPlay (written by me) and here’s what I thought of the game. 6 out of 8. It’s not bad, but the Wii controls can lead to some nasty frustration. Kid Factor? I’d say 8+ for this one.

GamerDad.com’s very first review was The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker so I’m especially proud to make Link’s Crossbow Training the first review at the new merged GamerDad and GamingWithChildren websites. Is it worth a shot? Read on!
NAMCO Museum (DS) – Review
Posted on April 2nd, 2008 by
Ah, the arcade. What better way to introduce youngsters to the wonders of gaming than the coin-eating simplicity of yore? This one has Pac-Man, Dig Dug 2, Tower of Druaga, Xevious, Galaxian, Galaga, and the rare and incredibly fun multiplayer game from Shiguru Miyamoto (that Mario guy) called Pac-Man Vs. CommonSenseMedia.org has my review. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 and recommend it whole-heartedly to children over 7. (Younger can handle it, provided they have video game experience.) Here’s a funny Penny-Arcade cartoon about reviewing games like this – it’s NSFW, but only due to a single F-word in the last panel.
Game Review: Naruto: Ninja Destiny (DS)
Posted on April 1st, 2008 by
Naruto is a popular Japanese manga comic book and anime cartoon series. Naruto and his pals are young ninjas in training who rely on their special powers and teamwork to defeat their enemies. But mostly they just stare and yell at each other. Now you can join in on their adventures-in the form of a one-on-one 3-D fighting game-with Naruto: Ninja Destiny for the Nintendo DS.

“Don’t matter if it’s not good enough, for anyone else to hear . . .”
This WhatTheyPlay review is a beat you can’t touch! SingStar 90’s
I give it 4 out of 5 microphones and say it’s good for 10+ (8+ if the lyrics don’t bother you or if you let your kids listen to the radio.)

Review – Sam & Max Episode 203: Night of the Raving Dead (PC)
Posted on March 28th, 2008 by
Season Two of Sam & Max just keeps thundering on – the first episode was an absolute blast, the second was short disjointed and brilliant, and the laughs and crazy fun continue in the third episode. Sam & Max saved the world from destruction once again in the previous episode, so what is up this time? An evil villain bent on taking over the world, of course. In one of the most hilarious episodes yet, watch Sam & Max travel to uncharted territory as they face the Night of the Raving Dead!
Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 – Review
Posted on March 26th, 2008 by
“So Funky . . . Place your bets down ladies and gentlemen!”
I loved Rainbow Six: Vegas so I knew what I was in for here. But I didn’t expect it to be quite this more-of-the-samey. R6: Vegas 2 has got to be the most conservative bet in years, an expansion pack turned into a full-priced sequel. I’d recommend it only if more of the same is what you want.
