It’s almost time for Dora’s birthday party, but a twisty wind has blown Dora and Boots to Wizzle Land inside a story book. Can your kids help Dora find the Wishing Wizzle so they can be wished out of the book and make it to the party on time? Watch out for that mean ol’ witch! Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure for Wii is best described as your child’s first 2-D platform jumping video game adventure (click here for the review of the DS version).

The Silly New Challengers of Super Street Fighter IV
Posted on November 17th, 2010 by
Recently I picked up Super Street Fighter 4 real cheap. I’m a little late to the party because I’m not very good at fighting games and didn’t like the first SF4 that much (definitely not a good fighter for novices). So I decided to wait until the price went down before purchasing the Super edition. Anyway, just as I usually do, here’s a rundown of the new characters in Super Street Fighter 4, and my silly comments about each of them. You can think of it as a spinoff or add-on to a blog I wrote earlier about the original SF4 cast.

Game Review: The Undergarden (Xbox LIVE)
Posted on November 13th, 2010 by
Right out of nowhere comes The Undergarden, a new Xbox LIVE downloadable game that defies description. But I’m going to try anyway! You play as this little flying monkey doll teletubbie…thing. Your job is to zip around dark cavern areas, collect pollen, and then make cave flowers bloom to brighten the area. Why? Who knows?
Game Review: Mix Superstar (WiiWare)
Posted on November 11th, 2010 by
Now you can create your own techno tunes easily with Mix Superstar on WiiWare. Use a drag and drop interface with the remote to select from more than 1,000 music loops (and even more if you buy them with Wii Points at the Loop Shop). Then arrange them any way you like in eight different channels. By twisting the Wii remote, you can even adjust the volume of each loop just like turning a dial.
