Pokémon Easter Egg Decorating Kit

Posted on April 14th, 2017 by
Pokémon has always been popular, but in the past year or so, it’s had a resurgence in popularity thanks to the mobile game Pokémon GO, and successful new titles in the franchise like Pokémon Sun and Moon. So because of that, here I present to you, the Pokémon Easter Egg Decorating Kit! I saw it at the store and just had to write about it. I could’ve sworn I wrote about the same thing a long time ago, but I couldn’t find an article about it so I either must’ve imagined it or it was such a long time ago that it’s not on the Internet anymore.
LEGO Dimensions Doctor Who Level Pack
Posted on April 7th, 2017 by
So the last in the batch of dollar store LEGO Dimension sets that an online friend in California sent me is the Doctor Who Level Pack. I didn’t have to pay my friend back, he just wanted me to review them. The Doctor Who set is the one I actually wanted the most. “Oh wow, Cary, you’re a Doctor Who fan?” you may be thinking. Nope, absolutely not. I know next to nothing about the franchise. But my brother Jeff’s girlfriend loves Doctor Who, so when this set came out, my original plan was to buy it so they could come over and have fun building and playing the level. But around that time, I lost my last job, so I went into “money saving mode” and didn’t buy it. So I’m glad I was able to get it after all so they could enjoy it. Anyway, two warnings before I start the review. Like I said earlier, I know next to nothing about Doctor Who, so if I seem uninformed in my review, that’s why. But not knowing about something has never stopped me from writing about it before. And the other warning is that there may be an accidental spoiler alert here and there, so please go easy on me, Doctor Who fans. LEGO Dimensions is available for nearly all the current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.
LEGO Dimensions Scooby Doo Team Pack
Posted on April 5th, 2017 by
So the next in line to review in the batch of dollar store LEGO Dimensions sets is the Scooby Doo Team Pack. This is another franchise that I’m not a big fan of, but I still have respect for it. Scooby Doo has been popular since before I was born, and it continued its popularity when I was a kid, and even today! I watched it a lot as a kid, simply because kids will watch anything. I will say there is one cartoon Scooby Doo movie that I really do like, and that’s Scooby Doo on Zombie Island. Seriously, it’s awesome. I’m also glad I got to meet the original voice of Scooby Doo, before he passed away (Don Messick). He also did the voices for Scrappy Doo, Boo Boo, Muttley, Papa Smurf, and many more! Anyway, so even though I’m not as much of a fan, I was mildly curious about the LEGO Dimensions set, so I’m glad I got it! It’s available for nearly all the current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.
LEGO Dimensions The Wizard of Oz Fun Pack
Posted on April 3rd, 2017 by
So apparently a lot of the older LEGO Dimensions sets are being sold at dollar stores and other discount places now. I’ve even seen a few sets at my local Five and Below, but nothing I had to buy. However, an online friend of mine from California found some sets at his nearby dollar store, and he offered to send me one set that I wanted to try. But not only that, he surprised me by sending me a few more LEGO Dimensions sets in the mail as well! He didn’t want me to send him any money, all he asked was that I reviewed them here at GamerDad! That was REALLY nice of him to send me all these sets, so reviewing them is the least I can do. So all this week I’ll be reviewing the ones he sent me. Except for the Portal 2 set since I already talked about that one in a previous article. Anyway, the first set we’ll go over today is The Wizard of Oz Fun Pack.
LEGO Dimensions Knight Rider Fun Pack
Posted on March 24th, 2017 by
When I was a little kid, I mostly watched cartoons on TV. But there were some live action shows that caught my interest. One was The Dukes of Hazzard. Mainly because it had cars that jumped over ramps and stuff. I would get out my Pac-Man TV tray and play with my Dukes of Hazzard cars while the show was on (keep in mind I was like, five years old). I wish they could’ve made a Dukes of Hazzard LEGO Dimensions set, but I think I may know why they didn’t (but we won’t get into that here). Anyway, another show I liked as a kid was Knight Rider. I don’t remember as much about the human characters in the show. I know David Hasselhoff was in it, but I don’t know what he did (did he even have a job?). But the most important part of the show to Little Cary was that it had a TALKING CAR!!! Back then, all of us kids had Big Wheels and I remember when the Knight Rider Big Wheel came out and it has a brake mechanism that would make your Big Wheel spin out. I was so jealous of the kids who had that, but not too jealous since I was still pretty happy with my Pac-Man Big Wheel. Anyway, now you can relive the action of the TV show in LEGO form with the Knight Rider Fun Pack for LEGO Dimensions. The game is available for nearly all current home game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.
LEGO Dimensions: The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack
Posted on March 17th, 2017 by
Recently, The LEGO Batman Movie came out in theaters, and it’s a blast! Not quite as good as the original LEGO Movie that it spun off from, but still a hoot and a half in its own right. Now you can relive the action and fun of that new flick with The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack for LEGO Dimensions. It’s available for nearly all the current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.
LEGO Dimensions Adventure Time Fun Pack (and Level Pack)
Posted on January 6th, 2017 by
Adventure Time is one of the most popular animated series on Cartoon Network, and there have been tons of games based on the franchise and I’ve reviewed most of them! In fact, in the 20 plus years I’ve been reviewing games, out of all the licensed games I’ve reviewed, I’ve probably played more Adventure Time games than anything. I don’t even really watch the show, I just know a lot about it from playing all the games! And now they’re getting the blocky treatment in LEGO Dimensions. Here are reviews of the Fun Pack and Level Pack from the series. LEGO Dimensions is available for nearly all the current game consoles, but reviewed on Wii U here.

So if you have a young fan of the Pokémon cartoon around the house, you may want to check out this nice hardcover book! It chronicles the adventures of Ash and his friends in the cartoon, as well as which Pokémon they’ve caught and battled, what gear they use, who they’ve met and where they’ve been.

Strange fissures have appeared in the Sonic Boom world, and while trying to seal them up, Sonic and Amy discover that the radiation from the fissures has affected their armband communicators, and now allows the team to have fire and ice attacks. Using their new abilities, Sonic and Co. must track down the source of the fissures (most likely Dr. Eggman), and save their world from strange weather anomalies in this 2-D platforming adventure based on the computer animated TV show.
