Zhu Zhu Pets is a popular toy line of little battery operated hamsters that roll, chatter, and scurry around little connected playsets. They’re generally marketed towards girls, so to get boys interested, they’ve now made Kung Zhu. It’s basically the same toy, except now the hamsters come in wild new colors like army green, have equipable armor, and the playsets are now ‘battle arenas.’ Now both boys and girls (who says girls don’t like to kick butt, too?) can enjoy their favorite hamster fighters with Kung Zhu for Nintendo DS.

One of the better pinball simulations on the Xbox 360 (and one of the best LIVE Arcade games in general) now has a sequel. Pinball FX 2 features four brand new tables, backwards compatibility with your old FX tables, new modes, and ways to track your score online.
Game Review: Bit.Trip Fate (WiiWare)

There are quite a few of the Bit.Trip games on WiiWare now. They utilize retro styled graphics and sound along with retro themed gameplay for a challenging old school experience. Some of the games in the past have imitated Pong (Bit.Trip Beat) or a 2-D side-scrolling platformer (Bit.Trip Runner). The newest in the series, Bit.Trip Fate, plays like a horizontally scrolling 2-D shooter.

Despite its conclusive-sounding name, Final Fantasy is one of the longest running role-playing game series. With more than 20 years under the belt, the Final Fantasy series has undergone a lot of changes. But what about those of us who miss the more ‘old-school’ FF titles? The 4 Heroes of Light for DS is supposed to fill that void.

Things break. For me, they tend to clump up and happen in dispiriting groups. This time it was a camera, an ipod and the big monitor I use for PC gaming. So of course a Gamerdad hiccup was to be expected. It’s all good now, thanks for putting up with it. Happy 12th Anniversary Gamermom and now back to cowboy zombies, already in progress.
