One day my family and I went over to grandma's house. When we arrived grandma was giddy and very excited. So we asked "Grandma any good news lately?". She said "no" but brought out a black case. Inside this case was the Magic Sing ed-9000. Personally I love to sing (even though I am bad at it) and I love karaoke. My children quickly took an interest. Soon grandma pl...

I love video games but I am not very good at them. My scores will never be in the top and you might find me yelling at the TV. However, that does not stop me from playing! That is case with Katamari Damacy. One day my husband brought home this game. I had watched him from afar playing with a giant ball that attached itself to everything in it's path. Initially, I thought, what is so fun abo...

Overall, the Sony PSP is a great handheld system. The graphics are awesome, it has plenty of built in features, and it is a pretty easy transition to go from your PS2 to a PSP. However, my experience with it makes it pretty clear why the PSP, unlike the leading brand, is not for everyone.In typical Sony fashion, the PSP is superior to any other handheld system in the areas of sound, graphics, f...

 Bioshock is deep in more ways than one. Not only does it have a detailed plot that is told entirely through game play, but it also takes place in an underwater city called Rapture. So it really is literally deep. Bioshock is Ken Levine's interpretation of the popular Ayn Rand novel "Atlas Shrugged." In the game, he tells the story of what would happen if a truly autonomous s...

Til this very day, I still find it fun to play Dr. Mario.The main object to the game is t...

My family and I are huge fans of Katamari. When Katamari Damacy (first of its series) came out it had no cooperative mode.

However, let me warn you the cooperative mode with We Love Katamari will bring new challenges to height. I...

Admittedly, when our neighbors handed us Pokemon Monopoly, I rolled my eyes. I thought "OH GESH!" and was tempted to get rid of it. However, the children convinced me otherwise. I am extremely grateful for that.We have had this game for about a year now and play with it almost on a weekly basis. The idea of this game compared to the original is about the same. Instead of houses and ho...
