Victorious: Time to Shine (Xbox 360 Kinect)
Victorious is a popular live action TV sitcom on Nickelodeon. It stars a group of teens as they attend a high school for the performing arts. Now young fans can feel like they’re on the show as they take acting lessons, dance and perform to music, sing, and even make their own music video with Victorious: Time to Shine for Xbox 360 Kinect.
The All-Star Toons of Nicktoons MLB
Recently I wrote a review of Nicktoons MLB, a new baseball game featuring real MLB players and Nicktoons stars. But since I like cartoons so much, I wanted to write a separate blog featuring all the Nickelodeon characters found in MLB, as well as some of my favorite Nicktoons. Kind of like what I did with Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion. So get your peanuts and hot dogs ready as we look at all the characters in Nicktoons MLB. At least the toons anyway, I’m not going into all the real MLB players in the game!
The Characters of Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion (3DS)
I hate giving games a bad review. I really do. Anyone who’s read my reviews can tell. Even if a game is mediocre, as long as it’s playable I’ll try and look at the good in the game as much as I can. That’s why it pains me to say that Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion for 3DS is the worst game I’ve played this year so far. But since I still like a lot of the characters in the game, I’m going to write a blog about them anyway.
Charlie Brown on ICE!
The Gaylord Texan is a huge hotel in Grapevine, TX (a suburb of Dallas). Every year they have an ice sculpture exhibit, and this year it featured the TV favorite A Charlie Brown Christmas. I know it’s a little late to do anything Christmas-ey, but we decided to go to it after Christmas during the day when I was off work so it would be less crowded. It was pretty amazing, and I took a bunch of pictures. Click and read on to see them!
There’s a Super Bowl Party in my Tummy!
Well the Super Bowl has come and gone and I bet you all are wondering what Cary’s favorite commercial was from the game. You can find that out, plus more, in my new blog!
Cary’s Koopa Kid Day Care
Big news, folks! I own my very own day care center now. I’m taking care of eight kids! But they’re all from the same family! Their dad is a real tyrant, though, but he said that if I watched his children, he’d help me kidnap Princess Zelda. See, Link would always suspect Ganon, but never me! Muwa ha ha haaa! OK, so this is just a silly way to introduce my favorite part of New Super Mario Bros. Wii: the return of the Koopa Kids! And this whole blog is dedicated to them. It’s a little silly, but a little silliness is OK every once in a while!
Blog Jr.
OK everyone, it’s time to get out your safety scissors and juice boxes (mmmm…Ecto Cooler…), because in this blog, we’re all going to become little kids again for a short while. Recently I reviewed several Nick Jr. games, and it got me to thinking about other good educational games and TV shows I’ve enjoyed. So I thought I’d talk about them on this blog.
Game Review: The Wizard of Oz: Beyond the Yellow Brick Road (DS)
While The Wonderful Wizard of Oz was originally a book written by Frank L. Baum more than 100 years ago, this year marks the 70th anniversary of the more popular Wizard of Oz movie. And now you can explore the mystical Land of Oz with Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion, and Tin Man on the DS. And here’s the big surprise, Beyond the Yellow Brick Road plays like a well made RPG, similar to Dragon Quest or Final Fantasy!
Cary’s Anime Blog
Last weekend, me, little brother Jeff and a good friend went to go see the Dragonball Evolution live action movie based on the Dragon Ball cartoon. Mainly because we wanted to see how terrible it really was (don’t worry, we went to the early bird showing so we only had to pay five bucks for tickets). The movie was hilariously awful, meaning it was so bad it was funny. But more on that later. Anyway, after that movie I decided that I would write a blog about my favorite Japanese anime cartoons. So here they are!
Idol Thoughts – Top 13: Michael Jackson Week
I happened upon a few popular polls regarding American Idol contestants over the last few days that had me predicting something for tonight. When asked who was there favorite, it wasn’t any of the anointed ones – not Danny or Adam or Lil; it wasn’t the obvious judge -picks of Jasmine or Megan. It was Anoop … the one they grudgingly let on to the Wild Card round add-ons, and have been obviously annoyed with since day one. So it was obvious they would be overly harsh with him. Another poll talked about ‘most over-rated’ and guess who won THAT title? Jasmine – one of the judges pet projects. So it was clear that they would be very careful about what they said to her so she would sail through. That doesn’t sound fair? Well, it is a fact of life made more obvious than ever this year because this … is American Idol Season 8!
