When I told Maya, my 8-year-old, that we would be getting a Nintendo 3DS, she squealed, and said: “Yesssssss. AWE-SOME! A lot of the boys in my class have one!” It’s true – I don’t see very many girls pulling their Nintendo 3DSs out at restaurants or in the waiting room at the doctor’s office. [...]

CSI: Miami Heat Wave [Facebook game]

I was so sad to see that CSI: Miami was canceled. That was probably my favorite of the three CSI shows, mostly because of the setting… I love Florida. And Horatio Caine cracked me up! So dramatic. The chemistry between the rest of the cast was great, too. Now I can get my CSI: Miami [...]

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster

While I wrote a short review of Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster back in September, that was based only on playing it for a few minutes. Released last month for Kinect for Xbox 360, we’ve had this family-friendly video game for a couple of weeks now and have been playing a chapter or two [...]

Developed by Ubisoft Paris and Ubisoft Montreal, it’s rated “E-10+” by the ESRB and is now available in North America on Kinect for Xbox 360 and the Wii system from Nintendo. The rest of the [...]

We were able to experience the game before it becomes available on store shelves next month. The developer was on hand to answer questions, and everyone was incredibly nice. Maya [...]

Your Shape: Fitness Evolved review

Since mid-January, I’ve been using Your Shape: Fitness Evolved a few times a week as part of my workout routine. One of only a handful of titles available when the Kinect for Xbox 360 launched this past November, Your Shape is a fitness simulation game that allows you to get a great workout from the [...]

Just Dance Kids [review]

Last summer, Ubisoft had a stage dedicated to Just Dance at the BlogHer conference. Maya, then 5, had a blast. In fact, I think she may have been one of the first kids to ‘shake her sillies out’ with the Just Dance Kids, which wasn’t being released until November! Those 3 months seemed like an [...]

Kinectimals… so fun!

Shortly before Christmas, our family was blessed with an Xbox 360 console with Kinect. Back in early November, I co-hosted a bilingual Xbox Kinect party with The Online Mom, and this bundle was sent to me as compensation for my time. While I love our Wii, we’re reaching for the Xbox more and more as [...]
