Plants Vs Zombies

“There’s a zom-bie on your law-on…we don’t want zombies on da lawn” so goes the theme song to the hit game Plants vs Zombies. And it is very true. You really don’t want zombies on your lawn. They like to make their way into your house and eat your brains. Fortunately, in Plants vs Zombies, you have a great defense team, cute little plants that form an infantry against the shuffling invaders. You plant your army of green stuff across your lawn, and with the right strategy in place, your sunflowers, pea shooters, wall-nuts, and at least one plant that … Continue reading →

Too Many Princesses

When I was little I never dreamed of being a princess. I would sing and dance and play along to my favorite Disney films “Beauty and the Beast,” “The Little Mermaid,” and “Aladdin,” but although I longed for the adventures of Belle and Ariel, I never wanted to be them, exactly. Ariel and Jasmine seemed to have too many boring responsibilities associated with their crowns, and aside from the gorgeous library, I preferred Belle’s original quaint cottage and village of residence to the echoing, impersonal castle she’d presumably inhabit as a princess. Yet everywhere I looked, the heroines of my … Continue reading →

Mercury Meltdown Revolution Video Game

You know the old “which came first, the chicken or the egg” question? Well, with Mercury Meltdown Revolution (MMR), it might be hard to figure out which came first, MMR or the Wii.

The Wii video game system brings this tilt control, and the implementation is natural and perfect. Okay, enough gushing about the controls. Let me tell you about the game. If you have ever broken a mercury thermometer, you know how mercury behaves. It is … Continue reading →

Review: Boom Blox Video Game

Think of Jenga with beavers. That will give you some idea about the Steven Spielberg game, Boom Blox. Boom Blox sets you in a far off land that would make any cubist proud. Your goal is to manipulate blocks (or blox) by knocking them down, grabbing them, pushing them, exploding them, shooting them, hosing them down, or building with them. This is all in the name of helping out small square animals that gleefully hop up and down when you win and sadly shake their heads when you lose. The characters names are cutsey and include the Bahhs, a sheep … Continue reading →

Review: Disney Princess Enchanted Journey Video Game

Let’s face it, there aren’t too many video games out there that are created for girls, especially little girls. That is why we were so excited to spot this game at our local library. We usually check video games for our Wii from the library first. for our Wii. It is a lot less expensive than buying full games only to find that the play value wasn’t worth the money. But even after playing DPEJ, my daughter wanted to check it out again and again, even after solving the game. This game has all of the core princesses, as well … Continue reading →

Disney Plans to ‘Wii’ Your Girls

Posted on by

I mentioned recently about Disney’s plans to step up their video game investment? Well, we’ll be seeing more of that this fall as Disney launches a new line of video games specifically targeting young girls. Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey features some favorite princesses in jeopardy and only the young girl playing can save them. Also to be released this summer is Disney Princess: Magical Jewels for the Nintendo DS. My daughter, for one, will be thrilled. She enjoys playing some games, but she likes the princesses and Barbie best. The idea of being able to play with her princesses on … Continue reading →
