Buy Rune Factory: Frontier


I've been a fan of Harvest Moon for years, and I wasn't entirely sure I would like this game. But, I'm also an RPG fan, so I decided to give it a try. The blend of farming/ranching/cooking and village relationships (all staples of Harvest Moon games) with fighting/capturing monsters, forging weapons/armor, and leveling up your character is pure genius. I was surprised that the fighting mechanic, though certainly simplistic when compared to some other RPGs, is actually quite good. The one aspect of the game that does become tedious is balancing the runeys throughout the village - a time-consuming process, but necessary in order to grow crops effectively. There is a lot to do in this game, and a lot of activities to balance, but the variety ensures that there will never be a dull moment!Get more detail about Rune Factory: Frontier.

Purchase Wii Dancing Mat


There is just not enough information in the product description here to fully convey that this mat WILL NOT WORK with DDR Hottest party 2, even though it DOES work with the original Hottest party.

I feel that many customers see that the label on the box and the product description which plainly state that it IS compatible with Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party." This leads them to believe (erroneously) that it should also work with DDR Hottest Party 2 since they are made by the same people.

Well it DOES NOT.

Amazon, and every other seller out there, should PLAINLY say this in the product description and warn their customers before they buy and get it home only to find out that it will NOT WORK for them for Hottest Party 2.

If you have the original DDR Hottest Party, Dancing With The Stars, or MC Groovz Dance Craze game then this mat WILL work. But Hottest Party 2 seems to be the more popular of the dancemat games for Wii and the one you find in stores and many people are getting duped into buying this mat for it and it DOES NOT WORK.

I think there is a workaround somewhere in the internet on how to rewire the cable with resistors, and maybe even a converter plug fix for $10 to get this mat to work with Hottest Party 2 but I can't seem to find it at the moment.

There is a LOT of bad information floating around for this product.

And yes, it does stink like funny plastic when you first pull it out of the box for a few days. It goes away.Get more detail about Wii Dancing Mat.

Order Spider-Man: Web of Shadows


This game I almost... have no complaints. The only thing that does get old is towards the middle of this storyline almost everyone turns into symbiotes and you have to wade through them to get to destinations, fight them (sometimes in air) and they do get bothersome. My other complaint is when you beat the game it does not allow you to go back into the city to complete the sub-missions or try and get the little collector tokens anymore. You just have to start back at your last save point and do it from there and then beat the game again or just save it uncompleted. Stupid.Get more detail about Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

Where To Buy Star Wars Star Wars Science - Jedi Projector


We bought this toy because the price drop on it was pretty good. However, it is nothing more than a cool looking image projector... So do not think that there is any sort of automatic switching of images or any kind of movie that gets projected. Its just a silly little strip of images that someone has to manually push thorough the projector image by image to see them. The projected image is not that big either. I can see this thing ending up at our garage sale for a buck this summer.Get more detail about Star Wars Star Wars Science - Jedi Projector.

Scrabble


This is one of my favorite DS games. Not much to say, if you like Scrabble the board game you should like this. So glad Nintendo is bringing games for the adults on the DS. Would be good for kids also to help with word skills, but I think this is really one for the adults who miss board games. Get more detail about Scrabble.

Fight Night: Round 4 Top Quality


This is the most real life boxing game that I've ever played. I'm a big boxing fan and the development of this game really exceeds my expectation. The graphics is above excellent!! I have played Round 3 on my PSP and enjoyed the controls on it and I must say that this game has better controls on a PS3. I adjusted for a time but did enjoyed so much when I'm used to it. I highly recommend this game for boxing fans out there! Now I can see Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight even before it happens next year..Get more detail about Fight Night: Round 4.

Kirby Super Star Ultra This instant


Well, I bought this game at Wal-mart today because I didn't feel like waiting for it.
I have to say, at first, I was very pleased with it. I figured it was going to be pretty much the same as
the SNES version. Well, I was wrong. It far surpasses the SNES version. Every-time I thought it was the end, more
games kept popping up. I was able to perfect my file the same day I got it but, it was hard to do and this game has excellent re-play value. It would take any normal gamer at least a couple days to perfect. I'm not bragging, it's just that I had to play it non-stop until 2 in the morning... Not to mention I'm quite fast at these types of games. Anyway, I'd like to do a mini review on each of the different games. First, the ones from the SNES version.

Spring Breeze - This is the same as the SNES version pretty much. 3 levels and then a fight with King Dedede.

Dyna Blade - Again, the same as on the SNES. 4 different levels (2 secret item levels) and a fight with Dyna Blade.

The Great Cave Offensive - Another one from the SNES Version. One giant level with 60 hidden treasures to find.

Gourmet Race - From SNES, more like a mini-game where you race King Dedede in 3 races and try and get the most food.

Revenge of Metaknight - Another one from SNES, a timed adventure on an exploding ship. Metaknight waits at the end.

Milky Way Wishes - Last one from the SNES and perhaps my favorite. In this game, the enemies don't give you powers, instead, you need to find special ability trophies. Once you find them, anytime you want, you can have that power for unlimited use. Soar across 7 different planets, gather special abilities, and defeat Marx at the end.

Now, here are the new ones, special to the "Ultra" version.

Revenge of the King - This is like an extension of Spring Breeze. The levels are a bit more dark and mysterious.
The bosses are also harder and different looking.

Meta Knightmare Ultra - This is quite a long one. It's split up into 5 parts. Those five part are all from the SNES games shown above minus Gourmet Race. In this game, you play as Metaknight as have special abilities. In the touch screen, there is a sword shown with 4 special abilities. To use them, Metaknight needs to defeat enemies to store power in the sword. The sword's number goes up to 50 and each normal enemy gives about 2-3.

Special Abilities:

Knight Call - Calls up a "Swordy" partner to fight along side Mightknight until his HP reaches 0. Costs 2 points.
Meta Quick - Speeds Metaknight up for a short period of time. Costs 8 points.
Heal - Fully heals Metaknight and his partner (if one is present). Costs 10 points.
Mach Tornado - Defeats all enemies in the screen. Also does major damage to bosses. Costs 30 points.
------
The Arena - This one is part of the SNES version but because it's coupled with the new version, I'll put it here.
The Arena was one of my favorite things back in the SNES version. It's a game where you fight every boss in the game (19) in a row with a short break to heal or get a special ability (5 max tomatoes and 2 random ability options per boss). In the very beginning, before you fight your first boss, you have your choice of any ability in the game (with some exceptions like Blast Kirby and Mic Kirby). Marx is waiting for you if you can reach the end.

The True Arena - This is the new version. Compared to this, The normal Arena is easy. This one only features 10 bosses but they are much harder than the previous ones. These are the new bosses from the new Kirby. It's pretty much the same as the normal arena except for a few deadly differences... First, instead of Max tomatoes to heal you, you now have normal tomatoes (only heal about 1/6th of max health). To add to that, the special ability selection is now down to one per match (technically there is a second but it's always a "sleep" ability). I don't even want to talk about the last boss in this arena...

Helper to Hero - In this game, you play as a helper that you choose. If you haven't played Superstar yet, a helper is someone Kirby can summon to help him in battle. They resemble the normal enemies you face through-out the game. This one is quite fun actually. There are 13 bosses to face and you only have one ability to use.
Anytime you clear it with one of the twenty helpers, you get a pretty little coin attached to verify that you beat it with that helper.

That's pretty much it except for the mini-games. I was actually a little depressed that the old mini-games weren't in this version because I really liked those. Well, once again it surprised me... They actually are on the game, it just takes a while to unlock them. Here they are along with the new ones.

Megaton Punch - One of the two from SNES. In this simple, yet entertaining mini-game, two players stand on two blocks of some sort of platform (concrete probably) and are given three timing challenges. The first one is a red bar that goes up and down. Hit it at the very top and it turns white. Second is two bulls-eye-like targets spinning in a circle. Match them up perfectly and they turn white. And finally the third one is similar to a pendulum rocking back and forth in front of this small circle. Match it up and it'll turn white. Depending on how you did, a star-like planet will split by the accuracy of the challenges. Match them all up perfectly and crack the planet it two. This is actually quite hard to do and I've probably only done it like 10-15 times.

Samurai Kirby - The second of the two from SNES. This is basically a reflex game with three difficulty levels.
Kirby and another enemy are facing each other, being very still... As soon as you see the marks you need to press the A button as fast as you can. If you do it before the marks appear, you'll get an X, get two X's and you lose. There is a sign that starts counting up very fast. The fastest time on the hardest difficulty, I think was 8.
I got a 0 a couple of times before, but I'm pretty sure it was just luck.

Here are the new ones...

Kirby Card Swipe - In this one, there are a number of cards shown face down. They are flipped up and all players can see them. A few seconds after, in the top screen, a picture is shown. The first player to match up the correct card, wins the first round. Once someone wins 3 rounds they are the winner.

Kirby on the Draw - Targets pop up randomly and players are awarded points depending on what they shoot. If a player shoots a bomb target points are reduced. Players have 8 shots to start with, to reload, the player must tap the bottom of the touch screen where the arrows are located. Obviously, the one with the most points wins.

Snack Tracks - The last of the mini-games. In this one, the Kirbies are lined up with a conveyor belt to their mouths. The goal is to get as much food into Kirby's mouth as possible. The only thing the player must do it tap the worms, bombs, and worms in maximum tomatoes to get rid of them and to make sure Kirby doesn't eat them. Also, rocks are present in harder difficulties. The player must tap them twice to rid them of the conveyor belt.

I think that just about covers the game. Other that what's listed above, a few extras include the Theater with 35 of the video clips through-out the game as well as the Sound Test (also in SNES) that includes all of the past and present music and sound effects.

Overall, I would highly recommend this game to anyone with a DS, especially Kirby fans.

Nintendo DS Lite 20-In-1 Starter Kit - Black Immediately


The amount of items in the starter kit makes it very appealing. Many things were useful and still are, but the game cases and earbuds are poorly made, and the earbuds fell apart after their first use. The case is very functional with room for my other set of earbuds, a couple of game cases and an extra stylis at the same time or about 4 to 6 games or just a car charge (depending on what your immediate needs are that day). Overall, the purchase was a fair choice, but if I was just looking for a case and charger (which are the bigger ticket items in the kit) I have found it for less (but not that much less). The free shipping for the item was a plus for sure!Get more detail about Nintendo DS Lite 20-In-1 Starter Kit - Black.

Prince of Persia Get it now!


I liked this game quite a bit. It's not particularly hard or in-depth. In it, you just bop from place to place, with some platforming and macguffin hunting (here, it's light seeds), mixed with some combat sequences.

The platforming is quite good. The levels are on a large scale and there are various paths from where you are to where you need to go. It's all well designed and fun. The macguffin hunting after you clear out an area is actually quite fun too. The combat is actually the most intense part of the game, built around a rhythmic combat system based on attacks and parries.

The biggest thing of note here is that you don't die. Nope, Elika bails you out every time. Because of this, it turns the game into a relaxing sprawl across beautiful environments. Maybe it's not what people hoped for, but for what it is, it's well done. Get more detail about Prince of Persia.

Trivial Pursuit Buy Now


If you can read the producer card at the end of Big Bang Theory tv show, you should be able to read this game. If you have any difficulty reading the card, don't bother with this game.
Another sloppy part of the game is the dice rolling noise. It fails to shut off, so you end up with that incessant noise in the background. If you play this in a group, you'll probably turn the volume down anyways. Get more detail about Trivial Pursuit.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Order Now


I had high hopes for this game, but it's just not interesting enough to continue. Controls are a bit difficult and there doesn't seem to be a great plot. It's too much like those old mech games back in the 90s. It's too easy for 3D game manufacturers to create stuff like this. All in all, it's boring and is nearly as bad as the movie, and for the same reason. The 3D itself is okay, but not what I expected. The still captures are better than what you actually get.Get more detail about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Guitar Hero World Tour Band Bundle for PlayStation 3 Right now


With the instruments expanded to drums and mic additionally to the guitar and bass and a pretty cool and extended track selection, World Tour arrives with the intention of pitting against Rock Band.
Comparing this one to the previous installment, the battles improved in this game, now you actually battle to win the cheering from the crowd rather than battling your opponent with powers like in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Characters that make appearances are as varied as Sting, Ozzy and Hendrix. Difficulty levels are consistent accordingly to the number of fret buttons you use, though difficulty seems to have been toned down in World Tour compared to Guitar Hero 3.

There is little to add to the existing reviews on this website, I got a little late on this game and got it just before the fifth installment was released. The addition of songs in Spanish is quite welcome, bands like The Mars Volta and Radio Futura are present for the joy of the few of us fans. Additional downloadable content in Spanish can also be found on the PSNetwork, Loquillo, M-Clan, Fito and Fitipaldis just to name a few. The available songs for download are quite varied as well, of course since GH5 was released no more new content for world tour has been released.

The addition of the microphone is great, although the one included is wired, so there's room for enhancement there. I was worried when I received the box from Amazon as it had a note that said "Do not sell before release date", you may already know that the early Guitar and Drum kits for World Tour have known issues not playing well in some cases; well after a month or so of using the guitar, the strum bar would fail making the game unplayable, it was not really a big deal for me as Activision offers warranty after three months of the purchase, they will gladly replace the defective items at no additional cost once you enter your information in their website. You can provide a credit card number and have them ship you a new one immediately, once received you ship back the defective one; or you can also not provide a credit card information, print a shipping label they give you, ship the defective guitar and as son as they receive it they will send you a new one. I did the last and it took no more than 2 weeks for me to get my new guitar.

An incredibly addictive game well worth the price it has nowadays!

Lowest Price Monopoly-Simpson's Electronic Edition


This is the newest edition of The Simpsons Monopoly Game. Simply put, this game is great! Some changes from the older edition include a new board, new player pieces, and a few other cosmetic designs. The greatest and most obvious change though is the new Electronic Debit Card system. That's right: no cash involved whatsoever! This is a great feature that makes for some fun, fast and hassle-free play. Each player gets a card and makes all money transactions with the electronic gizmo included: just insert your card into either the pay or collect slot, punch in the numbers and keep the game rolling. This new feature really is the center point of this new edition. Otherwise it's mostly the Monopoly you've come to love. There's a colorful and easy-to-use rule book that gets you started quickly, and, as always, you're still at liberty to adjust certain rules to your liking without ruining the gameplay. The only real downside to this edition is that it could easily have been more Simpsons-oriented. You have the board and the tokens, but you don't really feel like you're in Springfield making a difference, or pitting your favorite characters together. If you play long enough, like an hour, it feels like typical Monopoly. I wish they would have found a way to immerse you more into The Simpsons theme, because it really just boils down to the board, the few small player tokens, the debit cards, and that's about it. If you love Monopoly and like The Simpsons, you will really enjoy this new electronic cash edition. If you LOVE The Simpsons and like Monopoly, you'll be pleased, but not thrilled.Get more detail about Monopoly-Simpson's Electronic Edition.

Low Price PROTOTYPE


This game is so much fun! Scaling skyscrapers in seconds, moving across the city by rooftop. There is really nothing you can't do. Whether it be jumping from the highest point and delivering a shockwave to your enemies below or highjacking a helicopter from 200 feet away. The weapons are awesome and each have a purpose. There are so many upgrades its mindblowing. I will beat the game and continue to play to get all of the available upgrades.

You can decide if you want to start off by literally destroying everything in your path, throwing cars, buses, trees, people out of your way. Or you can choose the stealthier approach, consume and become anyone and make your way around unknown. Of course I chose the distaster approach and haven't looked back since. You may want to try the stealthy attack first, but when you realize what you are actually capable of, distruction will be your only goal. Currently I am playing this game on the normal mode, and once I beat it and hard becomes unlocked, I will be back for more. Some of the boss battles are unreal, using your most powerfull weapons because the only awesome option.

This game is so addicting, I definitely recommend it to any action fan that is looking for destructing fun.Get more detail about PROTOTYPE.

Save Yoostar Entertainment System


I have to believe just about ANY digital video device would work with this product and yet you are FORCED to buy another in this package.

Drop the camera and tripod and it brings the price down considerably.

Bundle the scenes or price them: your choice of 20 for say $20.00.
One could conceivably make a green screen at home from scratch...no big deal!
Their software is the key to the entire product but even then, with a home made green screen and a decent photo editor, you can superimpose your image into ANY background on ANY photo you may have.

Really not worth $170 when it comes right down to it.

Cheapest Ghostbusters: The Video Game


Anyone who is a true video game junky knows that there is one written-in-stone, undeniable rule when it comes to video games that are based on movies.

They suck. Not only do they suck...they suck like a transvestite prostitute at a Hell's Angels rally. They suck like a court-appointed attorney. They suck worse than St. Louis style pizza. They suck worse than an animal shelter owned by Michael Vick. They suck worse than Chicago.

Well...okay, it's hard to suck as bad as Chicago. At least no video game based off a movie was ever home to the worst politicians EVER.

This game shatters that rule. It not only shatters it...it obliterates it.

The gameplay is actually innovative and fun. I had a bit of trouble at first figuring things out (the game didn't tell me how to deploy a trap...or at least I didn't see or hear it) but it has a little guide book to help you if you go into your menu. There's research to be done (although it's hard to get a scan of a creature on the PKE meter when it's throwing a bus at your head). It's neat to zap ghosts and feel like a real Ghostbuster like when I was a kid. I grew up watching the Ghostbusters and remember how excited I was when they released Ghostbusters 2.

Which brings me to what makes this game shine brighter than any star in the sky...the story and voice acting.

You have the ORIGINAL Ghostbusters voicing their characters from the movie. Bill Murray is fantastic (of course), Dan Akroid is absolutely hilarious as usual, Harold Ramis absolutely rocks the character of Egon with his usual intellectual wit, and Ernie Hudson returns with the straight-faced "I didn't see no ghost" one-liners. Every. Single. Scene. Had my girlfriend and I laughing out loud.

That's the important thing about this game...it feels like it wasn't made to sell to as many people as possible, it was made for the fans of the original Ghostbusters as a way for Murray, Akroid, Ramis, and Hudson to say "Thanks, everyone".

I honestly view this game as a gift for my years of watching, quoting, and stopping on a channel that happens to be showing the Ghostbusters movies to grin because I know the funny part is coming up next.

"GET HER!"

That was great, Ray. "Get her". Real scientific.

"I just panicked..."

"Ray...if someone asks you if you're a god...you say YES!"

"THE FLOWERS...ARE STILL...STANDING!"

"Must have been some cockroach..."

"It'll bite your head off, man."

If you don't know the movies...and quite possibly if you didn't GROW UP with the movies and cartoons then you probably won't "get" this game. You'll play it and maybe rate it as average or slightly above average.

If you, however, ate, slept, and breathed everything Ghostbuster and can answer the question "Who you gonna call!?" in less than a second and with GUSTO then this game will have you looking around with a feeling of creepyness one second and then crying with laughter the next and then RIGHT back to jumping out of your skin and madly flailing around with your proton beam.

Back to the game as I'm getting off on a nostalgic rant. There are bonus items in the form of "Cursed Artifacts" to collect. There are ghosts to read about by scanning them and entering them into your Tobin's Spirit Guide. There are also "power ups" to buy to improve your equipment and a running total of damage caused to all of the locations you visit.

If you, your children, spouse, best friend, or your pet are a fan of the Ghostbusters then you owe it to yourself to get this game. I have a half played copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 sitting in the video game drawer that is seeing little playtime because I am now taking a trip down memory lane with the guys with nuclear accelerators on their backs.

So I'll say it loud and say it proud as I aim for the flat-top!

"Bustin' makes me feel GOOD!"

Buying Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable


This is a HEADS UP to all people that will be buying the new Xbox that comes with the 250GB hard drive.

I bought my son the MW2 XBox (bundle)for Christmas (but 'we' couldn't wait and is up and running now). When we opened the box I noticed that the cable that came with this $400.00 bundle was just a VGA cable. Microsoft is no longer packaging their systems with the duel cable that came with the older XBox 360 Live (Pro/Elite NOT Arcade).

A Microsoft representative told me that they were getting "in line" with PS3 and just offering the standard cable connection so everybody can enjoy it right out of the box. This makes no sense since the "older" cable had both connections on them (HD/AV and VGA). But this is Microsoft we're talking about... so what else is new.

Because of this I used the cable from his "old" Xbox so we didn't have a problem. I just need another one of these cables so I can hook-up my son's "old" 120GB XBox Live to another HDTV in our house.

Anyway... The whole point of this review is to let you know that if you have bought the new Modern Warfare 2 XBox with the 250GB HD for Christmas and haven't opened it up yet be advised you will need to buy this AV cable (or an HDMI cable if your HDTV supports that type of connection) if you want to be able to play in High Definition.

Purchase WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010


I bought this game expecting to play as my hero from one of the year's greatest movies. I was disappointed. Why did they leave out Randy The Ram? I mean, who else in the game has this kind of back story? During his match you could have had Marissa Tomei in a cut scene where she begs him not to wrestle. He's fighting a life-battle against death, people!

"When you live hard and you play hard and burn the candle at both ends... in this life, you can lose everything you love, everything that loves you. A lot of people told me that I'd never wrestle again, they said "he's washed up", "he's finished" , "he's a loser", "he's all through". You know what? The only ones gonna tell me when I'm through doing my thing, is you people here. You people here... you people here. You're my family."

He's just an old broken down piece of meat and you programmers left him out. John Cena's movie was not as touching. It seems like he's living on easy street with his pretty wife and a roof over his head. I wish you guys had the same heart this warrior had.Get more detail about WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2010.

Where To Buy Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10


Tiger Woods Golf 2010 on the PS3 provides a constant challenge that makes you keep coming back to improve your game. The progression through a career keeps you coming back to improve and see what is in store for the next challenge. It isn't easy but nothing in life that is worthwhile is.

I like the idea that you get practice rounds before a tournament so you can see the course and try out different clubs to see what gets you into contention. Just like real golf putting is the challenge that opens up a better score. Learning to read greens and conditions is a big challenge, but the game pulls them off fairly making them neither too hard nor too easy.

I have had people who do not play golf have a great time playing head to head in competitions like TIGER. The offered golfers are a good mix of actual pros and some really comical characters. The game is fun at any level. Get more detail about Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10.

Got this too for around half the normal price...not sure I'd like to pay any more for it TBH, just for the Dagobah theme...

Although I have not yet set this up with the tadpoles, I see no problems with it. Constructed well enough and a good design idea to show how they develop (from tadpoles swimming under the swamp to frogs climbing out and visiting Yoda and his house) Instructions and tips info are clear.

Tadpoles can be purchased with an included order form for $7 each. I would imagine aquariums and pet stores would be better to purchase from....and cheaper!Get more detail about Star Wars Star Wars Science - Dagobah Frog Habitat.

Wii Dual Charger Station Buy Now


I was excited to get a dual charger since we were going through regular batteries like crazy and I thought this was a great deal (as far as the price went).

The charger hooks up to a USB (either via wii or computer).

Wii remote has to be charged for 12 hours in order to take advantage of the full capacity. But this has to be done for first use only.

The light indicator lets u know if it's fully charged. Blue for fully charged. Red for charging.

I found this item rather inconvenient because the Wii system has to be on for the charger to work. It doesn't work if the wii is off.

If I had known this I would have purchased something else. It doesn't make any sense that the wii has to be on for it to charge. Who leaves their wii on all the time if they're not playing it?

I have read of other USB charging stations that charge without having the system on.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Throat Communicator for Xbox 360 Order Now


[...]


Tested this thing multiple ways and the results were the same.

At first no one responded to me with multiple adjustments on the volume control and mute switch. So I hooked up system link(I have a line in a separate room for when my friends bring their box and they can use the other TV, that's why we use mics.) and nothing but static and a loud buzzing over the systems. Picks up background noise but not my voice.

The throat piece is not adjustable but comfortable after you adjust to it. But since no one can hear me...well doesn't matter how it fits.

switched between my turtle beach x1, the extremely uncomfortable stock mic and then this. Same problems each time with the throat mic.

I've used the real deal in the military so I thought this was a great idea, and it is, but that's all this is, a gimmick, and over priced at that.

Ironically the name snow attached to this product link is right on the mark, that's all anyone hears in game. Get more detail about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Throat Communicator for Xbox 360.

MegNext Battle Strikers Turbo Tops Starter Pack - Dragonblaze Decide Now


My 9 year old son enjoyed this as well as his friends.

These are basically spinning tops that you control by a magnetic piece of plastic you place on your forefinger.

The tops work great and are really interesting looking. (They almost remind me of a Bakugan toy.) I love the launcher that comes with them. It works great and gets the tops spinning perfectly.

My only complaint is that the magnetic finger pieces don't seem to work all that well. You are supposed to use them to control the top, but I had a difficult time moving mine around. My son fared only slightly better.

Still, he loved the toy because he and his friends could "battle," meaning, crash their tops into one another until one stopped spinning. In fact, I don't recommend this toy unless you buy two of them. Most of the fun is being able to battle your friends.Get more detail about MegNext Battle Strikers Turbo Tops Starter Pack - Dragonblaze.

Nintendo Wii Console with Wii Play and Bonus Remote Bundle Right now


We bought the Wii so that we wouldn't be just sitting at night. My active 84 year old aunt played the sports games and had a lot of fun. I didn't realize the batteries that come with the Wii remotes are not rechargeable. We bought the accessory recharger with rechargeable batteries. We also purchased Wii Play and an extra nunchuck so that 2 people can play.Get more detail about Nintendo Wii Console with Wii Play and Bonus Remote Bundle.

Low Price Style Six Sparkle It - Gem Decorator


My daughter received this as a gift. We tried using the applicator to install the 'gems' on a shirt and quit after trying to apply only two bases. The product kept making additional holes in the shirt even thought we were not using the hole punch. It ruined the shirt. We are returning it and will look for something else. My daughter was very disappointed. Do not waste your money or chance disappointing another child.Get more detail about Style Six Sparkle It - Gem Decorator.

Save Xbox 360 The Beatles: Rock Band Special Value Edition


As other reviewers noted, the instruments which ship with this are from the original RockBand. Under no circumstances should anyone buy this package. RockBand instruments had a very high failure rate, the guitar neck snapping and the drum pedal breaking are the two most common problems. The drum heads are also very noisy and will annoy anyone around you. I've seen several retailers trying to push the RockBand Special Edition for $99. This seems like an underhanded way to try and clear out their warehouses since the average consumer does not realize the faults inherent to the first edition instruments.Get more detail about Xbox 360 The Beatles: Rock Band Special Value Edition.

Cheap Mercury Meltdown: Revolution


I love puzzles and a challenge! Bought this game for $6.99 from the clearance bin of Game Crazy in the mall and I tell you that is worth every penny. My daughter has played it for hours on end. It was a bit stressful for me to watch (applying the imaginary break to keep blob from going over the edge) so of course I haven't played. The kids really enjoy it and it really make you use your brain! Though it is a one player game, the whole family will enjoy figuring out what need done next to clear levels!

Purchase Xbox 360 Refurbished 20GB LIVE Starter Pack


For what you get great deal unless you want to spend 100 at the store
and get a bigger hard drive. But this bundled with the 360 arcade and you save 50 bucks. The other reviewer complained about connections not alawys lining up not sure what hes doing with it, dont know any one who takes it on and off all the time. My hard drive has been on for three straight years never had to be taken off. Also it might be used, but your not paying a 100 bucks for it either. Dont know what that other reviewer is crying about. To me, GREAT DEAL you just saved 50 BUCKS!Get more detail about Xbox 360 Refurbished 20GB LIVE Starter Pack.

Where To Buy Wii Fit Workout Kit


Over-all this was a good purchase since we got it on a Video Games Deal. The mat, weights and rechargeable batteries are by far the best parts. With hardwood floors the mat comes in very handy and the rechargeable batteries are a cost saver. It would be nice if the 2 lb. weights were 5 lb. but we understand and over-all this adds nicely to our Wii fit. Get more detail about Wii Fit Workout Kit.
