There’s a snack brand called Pirate’s Booty that I think mostly does popcorn kind of snacks. I don’t really see them much in stores that I visit frequently, though. I think the last time I saw them was at World Market and I haven’t been there in years. But recently a close relative bought me these packs of Pirate’s Booty snacks featuring Pokémon. And you know me, I’ll write about anything video game related, no matter what it is. So let’s take a look at them!
Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift (Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, X/S, PC)
Posted on October 6th, 2025 by
When I was a kid in the 80s, Garfield was huge! Newspaper comics strips were a popular form of entertainment for all ages back then, and the fat orange cat was right at the forefront. Not only that, but he had countless merchandise, Emmy award winning TV specials and a Saturday morning cartoon! So yeah, Garfield was a big part of my childhood. So good or bad, I’m always happy to review a Garfield video game. So here comes Garfield Kart 2: All You Can Drift, a typical cartoony kart racer featuring the fat cat and his friends. I’ve never played the first one, so I don’t know if this one improves anything in any way, but the sequel is available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on Switch here.

If you’ve ever wanted to have Kisses with Pokémon, now’s your chance. OK that sounded ALL wrong! Anyway, Pokémon have teamed up with Hershey’s Kisses to make some limited edition wrappers so you can try and catch ‘em all!
Pokémon Friends (Switch, Mobile)
Posted on October 1st, 2025 by
You’ve arrived in a new town to start your very own Pokémon plush toy shop. Kind of like a Build-A-Bear with Pokémon I guess. But while unpacking, your yarn gets all tangled up. So now you have to solve Pokémon themed puzzles to unravel your thoughts, and the yarn in Pokémon Friends. It’s available on Switch and mobile devices, but reviewed on Switch here.
Unplugged: Bluey Scavenger Hunt Game
Posted on May 23rd, 2025 by
I freaking love the Bluey TV show! It’s a kids show but has so much to offer for adults, too. And I even reviewed a Bluey video game last year. The show is set (and animated) in Australia, and stars a family of four cartoon Australian Cattle Dogs, or Blue Heelers for short. The family consists of Bluey, the titular playful and curious six year old, her younger sister Bingo, and their parents: Bandit and Chilli. They all learn lessons through play and imagination, and some of the topics are more serious things that only adults would truly understand. These can range from moving away, infertility, dealing with ADHD, and even death. The show strikes a balance between making things easy for kids to understand, but deep enough to keep adults interested. So when I got the opportunity to play a Bluey board game with my 5 year old nephew and 3 year old twin nieces, I was thrilled and decided I would review it. In the game, up to four takes turns moving around the board, and everyone works together to try and find and pick up all the toys before bedtime. If you do, everyone wins!
Rescue Rangers Away!
Posted on May 16th, 2025 by
Hey folks, I was a guest on another episode of the cartoon podcast my friends do. This time they talked about Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers, which is one of my favorite cartoons. So I’m glad they had me on for the ride! This one turned out pretty well, I think, so please give it a listen if you can! Thanks!
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.

Posted on March 17th, 2025 by
I’ve been on a stop motion animation and Wallace and Gromit kick lately, thanks to watching the new movie on Netflix a month or so ago and playing new games and DLC based on the franchise. 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!
