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.

They include cords that plug the TV into the wall, cords that connect the … Continue reading

Which Wii Fitness Game Should You Choose?

Since the weather has gotten a bit cooler, I am anticipating that my mornings walking and running outside are a but numbered. The goose bumps I get as I start out are a clear indication that although the fall may be perfect for exercising outdoor, the winter surely won’t. I remember when Wii Fit came out and how I really wanted to get this game, to help me do some indoor workouts. A friend of mine who borrows the game on occasion says that she loves it. It is a bit pricey when you factor in having to use a … Continue reading
