A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article about the Minecraft movie meals you could get at McDonald’s. Well I’ve gotten a few more things from them since then, thanks to my family, so let’s take a look at those, too!
Minecraft Movie Meals at McDonalds!
Posted on April 25th, 2025 by
The Minecraft Movie was recently released, and McDonald’s promoted it with Happy Meals and other goodies. Let’s take a look at them!
Care Bears: Unlock the Magic (Switch, PS4, PS5)
Posted on April 4th, 2025 by
There are many toy lines that came out in the 80s when I was a kid that are still popular today. Some examples would be Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony, etc. Another example that I didn’t know was still around until recently was Care Bears. That was huge when I was a kid, and they had lots of toys, plush, several cartoons, and even some movies! I think even I saw the first Care Bears movie when I was a kid (I remember it being surprisingly dark), and that movie even made more money than the Disney cartoon film it was competing against (granted that Disney movie was The Black Cauldron, but still). Now Care Bears are making a comeback and late last year I reviewed a 2D platformer starring the bunch. And now they have a new installment featuring an assortment of arcade style mini-games. Care Bears: Unlock the Magic is available on Switch and PlayStation consoles, but reviewed on Switch here.
Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Games!
Posted on March 21st, 2025 by
So we all know that Wallace and Gromit have had lots of stop motion clay adventures on the small and big screen. But did you know they’ve had quite a lot of video games, too? They’re both old and recent and cover a wide variety of genres, too! So to end Wallace and Gromit Week, I thought we’d go over all their video games here. And if there were/are any mobile games or browser games starring them, I won’t be going over those. Either I missed out on them or don’t feel like going THAT deep.
PowerWash Simulator: Wallace and Gromit Special Pack (PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on March 19th, 2025 by
A couple of years ago I reviewed a game called PowerWash Simulator. It’s a game where you use a power washer to hose down all sorts of things. Yeah they’ll make a game out of anything nowadays, won’t they? But since it is a video game, they got pretty imaginative with it, and you could download all sorts of DLC to power wash things like Final Fantasy 7 vehicles, Lara Croft’s mansion from Tomb Raider, Back to the Future vehicles, SpongeBob’s neighborhood, and Shrek’s swamp. All of those are cool and all, but it wasn’t enough to make me want to get them and play the game again. That is, until recently when they added a Wallace and Gromit pack. So I caved in and had to review it. Wallace’s inventions have made a mess of his house and machines, so he invents the WashLad to clean things up! The DLC and the game are available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.

So I’ve declared this week to be Wallace and Gromit Week here at GamerDad! All this week we’ll be looking at Wallace and Gromit films and games, and we’ll start off by ranking the movies and shorts! So grab your cheese and crackers and let’s begin!

Care Bears: To the Rescue (Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on December 11th, 2024 by
There are many toy lines that came out in the 80s when I was a kid that are still popular today. Some examples would be Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, My Little Pony, etc. Another example that I didn’t know about until now was Care Bears. That was huge when I was a kid, and they had lots of toys, plush, several cartoons, and even some movies! I think even I saw the first Care Bears movie when I was a kid (I remember it being surprisingly dark), and that movie even made more money than the Disney cartoon film it was competing against (granted that Disney movie was The Black Cauldron, but still). And now you can play a video game starring those colorful bears! Some bad guys have planted a Bad Seed in the forest where the Care Bears live, and it’s up to them to get rid of the evil purple plants that have taken over. Care Bears: To the Rescue is a four player simultaneous 2D platformer, and it’s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.
