Veronica23Angel says "A fun game!" about Pop Cap Games - Chuzzle Deluxe 1.0

Veronica23Angel — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:08:47 GMT

Chuzzle is an arcade-type internet game that gives hours of enjoyment through repetative color matching.

Chuzzle is played by sliding the rows of furry, wide-eyed furballs up and down or left and right to make Chuzzles of 3 or more like colors match and disappear. The level is won when you fill up the vial on the left with the essence of the Chuzzles and the vial opens and releases them.

If you're like me and enjoy playing repetative color matching arcade games to relax, then you will love playing Chuzzle. The sounds, high scores and bonus points for multiple matches and large combos are very....

This is such a fun game I love it and my kids love it as well....Would have to say if you play this game You will love it and will want to play it again and again......I know I do and so do my kids....

jazzysax13 says "It's a lot of fun, but much like other version of game" about Nintendo DS - Guitar Hero on Tour

jazzysax13 — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 02:24:36 GMT

I am a huge fan of the whole Guitar Hero franchise, so I was stoke when I learned it would be coming to the DS. It really is a fun game and can get very challenging. The song choices are good - some older, some newer. I think everyone will be able to find a song they know or they will become a fan of a new song.

One of the biggest cons is that sometimes the guitar extension comes loose from the system itself, so you may be in the middle of a song and all of a sudden it'll stop. You will have to reset it at this point. Also, it can get a little bit boring after a little bit, but never fear! There is a dueling mode which is A LOT of fun! Another con is the awkward hand position. Having your hand through the handle can get uncomfortable. I try to just put my thumb through it, and it works for the most part. The hand position can also add to frustration with the extension coming loose.

I would recommend this for anyone with a DS. It's a great game and worth the money.

LittleMac109 says "sucky sucky i like psII better !" about Nintendo DS - Guitar Hero on Tour

LittleMac109 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 18:33:52 GMT

i love video games and i tend to be old school but i have to say the Guitar hero for ds sucks . I prefer the one for psII where u can actually play the fake guitar and go in your own little world of music . Ds is a great system dont get me wrong but im in my very early 40 s and prefer less difficult games its got great graphics and sound but i like to get into games with stuff like that and i find that its too much like the cellular download version of this game everyone is entitled to their opinion but with this game my 10 yr old did not even like it she couldnt figure it out we are big time gamers and take our fun seriously

so just leave the rest up to you if you prefer hand held then this is for you but if you are like me and like to really get into your games lol you know body movements lmao then i dont prefer this one sorry guys

tina3969 says "Necessity for Classic games" about Sony Memory Card for PlayStation 1

tina3969 — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:29:43 GMT

The Sony Memory Card for PlayStation 1 was my first.

Necessity for Classic games.The thing about authentic products (chiefly the PSX Sony memory cards)is that while you do indeed pay for the name, your also paying for a product with the fewest bugs and flaws. In the case of off brand memory cards, the issue was frequent memory crashes or corrupted files. This is not so much a problem when you purchase the Sony lisenced card for the Sony console. For some strange and frustrating reason, when the PS2 slim design was unveiled to the public, only a handful of 3rd party memory cards were compatable. Rest assured that the Sony lisenced PSX cards WOULD be one of the few names that would work. I reccomend this particular card out of any other just for the sake of simplicity and ease of access.

Product Features

Official Sony Brand, comes straight from the factory, though packaging may vary
For use with Playstation PS1 and PSOne games only
Contains 15 "blocks" of memory
Works with PS1 & PS2 consoles,...

Keepee says "Exciting and promising, but falls short." about Nintendo Animal Crossing City Folk and Wii Speak Microphone Bundle

Keepee — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 20:08:49 GMT

I awaited Nintendo's Animal Crossing: City Folk and Wii Speak Microphone bundle with keen anticipation. A huge fan of the earlier Animal Crossing, I couldn't wait to try it with Nintendo's motion controls. Plus, how could they go wrong when you could visit other folks and go see the big city!

What a disappointment.

I had extreme trouble connecting Animal Crossing: City Folk to the internet and when it seemed to finally work- no one was ever online! Folks didn't want leave their towns open because of fossil theft, fruit theft, having all the "cool" items purchased out of their shops, etc.

I decided to concentrate mostly on the game minus the internet capabilities- and again, I was disappointed. It seemed Animal Crossing: City Folk was just the same old thing in a new package. Unfortunately, this time around, it wasn't enough to hold my interest and I eventually put the game on Amazon.com and resold it.

Overall, it's a decent game, fun for a while but for me, it quickly got old.

Apatton says "My Son loves this game" about EA Sports - Madden NFL 2010 Wii - EA Sports - Madden NFL 2010 Wii

Apatton — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 14:31:56 GMT

I am reviewing EA Sports - Madden NFL 2010 Wii even though I have never played the game. The reason I can recomment this is because my 7 year old son loves this game and is obsessed with it. I was leary of buying this game because I thought it would be too complicated for my son to play. Boy was I wrong. He plays this game as often as he can. He is learning all the teams, players and positions to get even better at this game (this is helping his reading skills also). From experience, I know that most Wii games can be played on many levels. There is the simple have fun level to the very complicated and challenging gamer level. My son has discovered the fun simple level and loves it. The more he plays the more he learns and the more challenging it gets. On a cold rainy day, this is a perfect way to get him up and active since he jumps all, runs and pretends to act out the plays. I think this game is a great way to keep my son active, amused and learning.

icnsng2 says "Finally a customized Wii workout!" about Nintendo Wii Fit™ Plus

icnsng2 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:47:08 GMT

So just got the wii fit plus and we love it! You can customize your own workout with some fun new games like snowball fight, kung fu areobics (my favorite), and a chicken flying target game. This is a blast and even has a new setting for baby stats and the ability to weigh your pet (proivded it is a pet you can hold since you have to pick him/her up).

However, this wii plus still lacks the ability to distinguish a child from an adult if the child is over three. Meaning there is not kid setting (odd since there is a baby setting) so it repeatedly will tell you your child under ten is severly underweight!

My kids love to play and can do so regardless but it would have been nice for them to incorporate a child setting as they did for the babies and pets. Likewise, having just given birth to my third, I would have appreciated the ability to tell the wii I was pregnant so I could have avoided comments such as "seems you are gaining weight rapidly, what do you think that is due to?" Oh well for...

verity79 says "Love, love, love this game!!!!!!!" about Rock Band 2 - Rock Band 2 for Xbox

verity79 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:52:57 GMT

Rock Band 2 is a really fantastic game. You can sing, you can play drums, you can play guitar. It has it all. The song list is also one of the best so far for this type of game. There is enough variety so that everyone should at least know a few of the songs. The instruments available are also excellent. There is a choice of table top or stand alone drumsets so even if you don't have a lot of room, you can still get the tabletop drum set and rock out. The buttons on the guitar are nicely spaced. I don't have large hands and the buttons are close enough together so that they can be comfortably reached. I also really like the separate guitar solo buttons. They allow you to play really complicated solos without worrying about keeping up with the strumming when the notes are going really fast. I would recommend this game even to people who normally don't like to play games, because it's really fun and you can make it easy or complicated depending on how high you set your...

atlanta04 says "fun game" about Pop Cap Games - Chuzzle Deluxe 1.0

atlanta04 — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:43:03 GMT

The Pop Cap Game - Chuzzle Deluxe - is in my opinion mainly for kids, but if you enjoy spending some time on a simple fun and cute game, then this game is for everyone.

Pop Cap Games have been around for a long time and I haven't had any problems ordering games from them. They are however a little bit pricey on their games. There is other sites you can get most games cheaper. On the other hand pop cap has some exclusive games you can't get anywhere else as far as I know.

Like I said before, if you would just like to pass some time without having to think too much, this might be the game to get. If you want something more challenging, I wouldn't recommend this game.

annajolin says "great party game" about Rock Band 2 - Rock Band 2 for Xbox

annajolin — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 01:02:02 GMT

Rock Band 2 is a great social game. It's perfect for when you're having a party or just hanging out with friends. There is an in-depth training mode that is really helpful if you've never played Rock Band before. It tells you how to play each instrument and guides you through step by step. I played the first 3 Guitar Hero games before getting RB 2, and it isn't difficult to adjust. GH: World Tour peripherals are actually compatible with Rock Band 2, so don't bother getting two sets of instruments for both games! There is a wide assortment of music from indie rock to heavy metal and the selections spans across a few different decades as well.

When you're just starting out, the songs can get repetitive, and you might have trouble finding 4 people to play with. The easiest way to find more people is by going online, Once you get enough stars and fans to unlock more cities and venues, it'll pick up the pace.

If you've never played a rhythm game before but would like to try one, get Rock Band...

gterr says "Amazing party game." about Rock Band 2 - Rock Band 2 for Xbox

gterr — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 00:19:27 GMT

What can I say about Rock Band 2? It is one of the most popular franchise games out there and the never ending list of downloadable tracks keeps growing and growing every week. You can bang it out on drums, shred it on guitar or scream your lungs out on vocals with their own specially made plastic intrusments. The game itself has a huge World Tour mode, which lets one to four people play out their biggest fantasy in a rock and roll band spanding all across the globe in a battle to become a Rolling Stones Rock Immortal. Outside of the world tour mode is a sprawling online play, which lets people play others online with or against each other in 4 different competitive modes. Starting from easy tracks that will almost put you to sleep, to blistering, hand throbbing, throat burning songs that can easily get you frustrated. But fear not, it's all in good fun and anybody who is a fan of music and video games will love this one.

joferder says "The Nerf Case will protect your DS very well if you drop it." about Nintendo DS - Nerf Case

joferder — Sun, 04 Oct 2009 19:34:50 GMT

I have actually had two Nerf cases for my DS within the last couple of years. It works great and I have dropped my DS a couple of times and it has always worked perfectly afterwards. The one issue with the Nerf case is that it kind of falls apart, which I guess wasn't really that big of a surprise to me. I remember having Nerf toys back when I was young and they would hold together pretty well for a while and then all of the sudden it would start losing chunks of foam. The case is pretty much the same and I usually go through one a deployment. Mine probably wear out a little quicker than normal because it gets thrown in my pocket and stuff like that so it gets a little more wear and tear than what could be considered "normal".

I also like the fact that the Nerf case makes it easier to hold the DS. I find that the DS is just a bit thin and so when I am holding it and if my hands start to sweat just a little that the DS starts to become difficult to hold. With the case on it actually gives...

morgoth897 says "Best rythem game out there." about Rock Band 2 - Rock Band 2 for Xbox

morgoth897 — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:56:26 GMT

While more of a performance tweak than an actual sequel, Rock Band 2 is still the best music game on the market today. The game comes with over 80 songs on disk and 20 free songs with a special code in the instruction booklet. The game is also compatible with nearly all songs from the original Rock Band with the purchase of a minimal licensing fee. New songs are made available for download each week. The song selection is widely varied spanning multiple genres from country to black metal. To date there are ovr 700 songs available for download. Unfortunately, at $2 a pop downloading all the songs would be prohibitively expensive. Most songs are featured in "Track Packs" which mitigates some of the cost, but you usually end up with a few songs that you really ont like when purchasing the packs. The peripherals included with Rock Band 2 are very good, though they can be battery hogs. Buy rechargable batteries and you will save tons of money on power.

kellyg123 says "Its a pretty cool game..." about Rock Band 2 - Rock Band 2 for Xbox

kellyg123 — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 03:50:07 GMT

This game is so cool, my name is Kelly and I never dreamed they would come out with somethin like this. In the game Rock Band to you get to play some of your favorite songs by guitar drums and other instruments. This game is a teaching tool even though the instrument aren't actual instruments the game give kid and adult the real drive to actually try and learn how to play a real instrument. I do have the game Rock Band and the first time I played it we having a playing comperitition over sum drinks wit sum friends. This game was made for kids and believe me I'm 25 none of my friend are kids. All of my friend was all into the game. This game also has a great song selection list. I'm sorry but I got to say it this is another gamers injeanious idea. You get to learn how to play famous songs on a game with a instrument that makes you feel as if your in the game playing forreal thats jeanious

Darkblade3 says "Evony is one of the greatest games around" about Online Game - Evony Online

Darkblade3 — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:25:23 GMT

I would like to take the chance and review an online game i been recently playing online is called Evony. At first if you look at an advertising ad and an almost naked girl on the screen you might think at first it is porn but infact it is a online strategic game.

Like many online game you create you own kingdom. Build resorces, build armies and research technologies. However there are several unique differences to this game then others:

1) You begin with a 7 day protection which allows you to build your city and join an alliance with in that time. It also offers you with quests, or you could say a tutorial on how to play the game, and it gives you rewards for it.

2)It offers you reward packages based on what you do, for example a newbies package for those who join the game and a lords package when you join an alliance. and each of these packages contain items that will help you in the develop of your city. Many of these items can improve your production, gain population, obain medals,...

pitcherday says "Gaming on the DS Lite is so much nicer with a bigger stylus!" about Rocketfish Gaming - Extendable Metal Stylus for the Nintendo DS Lite

pitcherday — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 23:41:05 GMT

Face it, the stylus that comes with the Nintendo DS Lite is tiny. Gaming with it is like writing an essay with a golf pencil. There are lots of other bigger styluses out there, even ones that are nice ergonomic pens, light sabers, and characters from cartoons. Those are nice, but for me, the big advantage has been that the stylus stows away inside the DS Lite console. I take it with me all the time. I lose my real pens constantly, so I don't see why it would be any different with a pen-sized stylus. I don't want to get stuck with my DS without any stylus!

Best Buy has their own brand called "Rocketfish Gaming." There I found a package of three extendable metal styluses that stow away inside the DS Lite! The ends are colored - I got a package with a pink one so it matches my console. When they are extended they are about a third bigger than the one provided with the DS. That might not sound like a lot but it is enough to make a big difference! The stylus is also thinner, allowing for a better...

SteveB says "The Xbox 360 Arcade 60Gb HD Live Starter Pack = EASY" about Microsoft Xbox 360 FKC-0001 60 GB Hard Drive Live Starter Pack for Xbox, Xbox 360

SteveB — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 22:11:03 GMT

Background: About two weeks ago, my wife, sitting at her pc, asked me, "What's an Xbox 360?" I told her that it was a game console from Microsoft, and she said, "Well, I just won one.." Once I picked my jaw up off the floor and finished my Happy Dance, I started researching the 360.

What I found, and as you probably know, is that there are several models of the 360; I'd have to wait until it arrived. It got here in less than a week, and it was the Xbox 360 Arcade. This is the base model of the 360 series; 256MB of storage, barely enough for basic games, and games such as Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 will run on it, but you won't be able to save your progress in the game.

There are two upgrades available, the 60Bb and a 120Gb hard drive. The drive allows you to store not only saved games, but music, pictures, and downloaded games. I'm not a big gamer (and I have an iPod Touch for music, 3 pc's for music and pictures, and I'm cheap), so I opted for the 60Gb upgrade. I bought it for $90 on Amazon....

ticklemeusilly says "We LOVE our Wii!!!" about Nintendo Wii System with Wii Sports (White) Wii

ticklemeusilly — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 20:39:20 GMT

We LOVE our Wii!! My kids still play the Wii on a daily basis. They love playing they sports package, and even love to see what age they are. My daughter is constantly working on that one. She hates it that she is having trouble with it. We have had a few problems with our remotes, but have been able to work them out. I was not sure what that was about. But they have been easy fixes. But as I said the kids still play the system daily and have had no problems, I just wish that there were more games for my youngest, that were not so repetative. She gets bored with that easily, and the others are still a bit hard for her. But the sports games are working out best for now. The Wii system has been great for the kids to get up and play more, they have even gotten interested in tennis because of it. Wow, that was wierd...but hey I will take it if I can. A video game that actually got my kids to get up and leave the house to play outside? Wow!!! Gotta Love that! As I...
