Anyone remember those car toys where you could draw a black line on paper and the car would follow it? I think they first came out in the 70’s but I’m not sure. Well now those kinds of toys have reached the 21st century with Ozobot Evo. Not only does this robot follow black lines on paper, but it can also detect other colors as well. And when those colors are in certain patterns, they act as a code to tell Ozobot what do to, like turn directions, go backward, and much more! But that’s not all. Now you can get limited edition skins for Ozobot based on Marvel’s The Avengers characters, which give the little robot even more personality. Click here to read more!

Steven Universe: Save the Light (PS4, Xbox One)

There is quite a dedicated fanbase for Cartoon Network’s Steven Universe series. And there’s yet ANOTHER new game out based on the franchise. Steven Universe: Save the Light is actually a sequel to a mobile game I reviewed a couple of years ago called Attack the Light, which was on mobile devices. It’s unusual for a mobile game to get a sequel on a console, but that’s just what happened here, as Save the Light is available to download on PS4 and Xbox One (PS4 version reviewed here).
Steven Universe: Dreamland Arcade (iOS, Android)

Steven Universe is one of Cartoon Network’s most popular shows right now. It’s about a boy named Steven who befriends some gem-based intergalactic warriors and they go on adventures together. As popular as the show is, there aren’t too many video games based on the franchise, surprisingly. Until now, as Dreamland Arcade is not one, but nine games in total for mobile devices (reviewed on iPad here). In one of the episodes, Steven and his friends visit the local Funland arcade. One of his gem warrior friends gets addicted to a game that bears a striking resemblance to Samba de Amigo. It’s called Meat Beat Mania and in this mobile game, Steven falls asleep while she plays it. Then he has a dream where he’s in an arcade featuring games starring him and all his friends. You get to unlock and play these games that Steven dreamed up.

The evil Kang has conquered time and space and is bringing Marvel universes from different time periods together to create one big city called Chonopolis. Now modern day Manhattan is next door to Asgard, Roaring 20’s Manhattan (complete in black and white), 2099 Nuevo York, and even an alternate timeline New York where Hydra has taken over. It’s utter chaos and it’s up to Marvel superheroes from different time periods to team up and save the day! You’ll play as classic Marvel characters like Spider-Man, She-Hulk, Doctor Strange, Thor, and more, as well as meet up with alternate timeline versions of characters like Cowboy Captain America in the Wild West and Spider-Gwen. It’s the wackiest LEGO super hero adventure yet! LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 is available for nearly all current game consoles, but reviewed on PS4 here.
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite: Team Capcom

In the second part of my look at the characters in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, we’ll go over the fighters on the Capcom side. I’m way more into video games (obviously, since I review them) than I am comic books, so hopefully I’ll sound a bit more knowledgeable here. So let’s dive right in. Oh yeah, some slight Story Mode spoilers here and there may happen, so you’ve been warned.
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite: Team Marvel
Posted on December 11th, 2017 by
It’s Marvel Week here at GamerDad.com. We’ll be looking at the characters in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite, and at the end of the week, a review of the new LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game! Anyway, Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is a fighting game featuring characters from Marvel comic and Capcom game universes. Usually when I play a fighting game that has a lot of interesting characters in it, I’ll write a blog about them, so that’s what we’re going to do here. We’ll start with the Marvel cast. Keep in mind that I’m not a big comic book fan, so most of my knowledge of Marvel characters comes from the movies, Marvel vs. Capcom games, and the LEGO games. So when I go over these characters, if you ARE a Marvel fan, please feel free to correct me on anything or provide any information or insight that you might like to share.
