Fossil Fighters Nintendo DS Game

By Amy ⋅ September 3, 2009 ⋅ One comment

I wanted to get my son’s thoughts on this game for nearly 2 weeks now but he’s been so busy playing it, I haven’t been able to get a good overview from him until now. I shouldn’t be surprised. It combines his favorite thing in the world, dinosaurs, with something he does every day with [...]

The concept is simple: A little guy has crash [...]

Mario Power Tennis

By Amy ⋅ March 30, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

As fans of tennis on Wii Sports, we were pretty excited about trying out Mario Power Tennis. In this game, you get to play as one of several classic Nintendo characters, each with their own specialty and moves. Some are good at smashing power shots, some are good and defense, some are good at trick [...]

When I was contacted by Roku to see if I would be interested in trying their player I was immediately intrigued. I can admit it. I am a total gadget nut and this sounded like a very cool gadget for a family like ours.
This little box hooks up to your television and allows you to [...]

For this review, I passed the torch on to a family of some of my very favorite little girls, The Wegner Family! My daughter was a little too young for this product, but I always know I can count on my friend Michelle to help me in my time of need. To learn more about [...]
