You’d better watch out, you’d better not cry, you’d better not pout, I’m telling you why: Santa Claus is comin’, to your Wii! Rankin Bass’ stop motion animated TV specials have become almost iconic, such as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Yukon Cornelius rocks). Not quite as popular as Rudolph, but still well-known is their Santa Claus origin story: Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town. And now you can play it on your Wii!
Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL (Wii, PS3, 360)
Posted on December 6th, 2011 by
Over the summer I bought Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion on 3DS and wrote a blog about it. Unfortunately, I didn’t like the game very much. What a difference a few months and a bigger console makes because the “XL” version of the same game is VASTLY improved over the original. It may not be the perfect Smash Bros. clone, but is good for tiding over until the next big game, and should please fans of Cartoon Network’s animated programs (360 version reviewed here).
Dance Central 2

You make me feel like dancing, Harmonix! As someone who always stood on the sidelines wishing he could join the sexy, sexy women on the dance floor, Dance Central was made for me. Especially since this new version lets two players shake a leg. What I like about Dance Central compared to other dancing games is its seriousness. This is a game that uses real choreography. You will be taught how to Jerk and Crank Dat if you play long enough. Higher difficulty just means more advanced moves with a lot more variation, which forms a nice learning curve for a rhythm game.

Beyblade: Metal Masters (DS)
Posted on December 3rd, 2011 by
Beyblade is a popular line of toys geared toward boys that puts a new spin (pun intended) on a classic plaything: tops. Players put two tops in a ‘battle arena’ and let them spin and bash each other. Whoever’s top spins the longest and doesn’t get knocked out wins. The toy line is so famous that it has spawned a long-running cartoon series and several video games. And you can play the newest one on the Nintendo DS.
