For Valentine’s Day, my daughter Maggie and I tried to recreate our own family with the PC version of the Sims 3. The result was this article, originally commissioned by WhatTheyPlay.com – reprinted here with their kind permission.
Game Review: Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (DS)
Posted on February 13th, 2010 by
Percy is a troubled kid who just can’t seem to fit in. But there’s a reason for that. One day, the creatures from Greek Mythology that Percy is studying come to life! Turns out that Percy is actually the son of Poseidon, Greek god of the sea. Someone has stolen Zeus’ lightning bolt, and Percy is to blame! Now the boy must use his new demi-god powers and rely on his newfound friends to save Mount Olympus and the world. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief for Nintendo DS is an RPG based on the popular book and recently released movie of the same name.
The Games of Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection
Posted on February 12th, 2010 by
I love video pinball games. Recently I picked up the Xbox 360 version of Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection for around 15 bucks on sale. I was surprised how addicting it was! So I thought I’d run through the dozen or so pinball tables on the collection!
Game Review: 0-D Beat Drop (Xbox LIVE)
Posted on February 8th, 2010 by
0-D Beat Drop (that reads “Zero-D”), is a falling block puzzle game with a music and rhythm twist. Rotate and match blocks of the same color in threes, but they won’t disappear if you just set them down. The trick is to press a button in time to the beat of the music. This will set the block down to the bottom immediately, and that’s when shapes of the same color disappear.
The Games of Konami Classics Collection vol. 1 and 2 (Xbox 360)
Posted on February 6th, 2010 by
Late in 2009, Konami secretly released two classic game compilations on the Xbox 360. And since I love classic arcade collections, I thought I would get them and write about ‘em for ya!
Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Rock Band
Posted on February 4th, 2010 by
I’m really enjoying the Beatles Downloadable Content for Beatles Rock Band. So far they’ve added the incomparable Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and the one that first indicated that the Beatles were going from Pop to Art, Rubber Soul. I can’t emphasize enough how important and kid safe I believe these albums are, and I disagree with the T-Teen rating vehemently. My kids love it, my wife loves it, it’s one of the rare games that always brings our family together. I’m left wondering though, how are they going to encode Revolution #9 when they get to The White Album?

Five popular single-player card games are now available to download on WiiWare and DSiWare in 5 in 1 Solitaire (Wii version reviewed here). Play classic standbys like Klondike, Free Cell, and Spider Solitaire as well as two newer ones: Solitaire Golf and Gaps (my personal favorite).
