“A Better World” New Facebook Game!

By ·

“Can You Imagine A World Where Everyone Treats Each Other Kindly? Where Wonder Fills the Air? Where All The Good Deeds You Do Are Rewarded? Then You Have Come to The Right Place…”

Here is Me in My Game:

Cute, huh?

There are quite a few Facebook games, but none like “A Better World“. This Facebook game (and no, this game was NOT developed by Facebook, it was just made for Facebook), is all about being positive and doing good for others. The more good you do and say, the more you can earn and get in the game! After all, this is where all goodness gets rewarded!! You can earn “Do Good Gold” by leaving nice messages to your friends or by visiting the Gratitude Grotto and saying what you are thankful for. It is actually uplifting and fun to play!

I enjoy visiting the town and getting my hair, makeup and looks changed up :) It is also fun to buy new clothes with the money/gold you earn from being so dang nice! Or, you can visit the village and visit your friends homes, stop by and leave them a nice gift! Or add or invite friends to grow your village!

At times when I played this game, my computer would crash, and just completely go back to my screen saver. I was in Fire Fox. It still does it sometimes when I play it, and I really can’t figure out why. I think my computer is just way overloaded and I need to clean out my hard drive asap. Other than that, the game is fun, entertaining and my kids LOVE to play it and watch me play it too.

I love that if you are not sure what to do with something or just have a question, you click on the big blue question mark and you will get some answers, super easy to do. The more good you do, your home will also grow bigger! More rooms and levels. So, this game is really fun and never dull. You are always working towards something bigger and better, while helping others or making others feel good! Love it!

So, what are you waiting for? Go try out “A Better World“, it is free and totally worth it!

Disclosure:

I am receiving a gift card from Likeable Media as thanks for testing and writing about the game.

Power Gig: Rise of the Six String For Xbox!

By ·

So, your kid or you, like guitars, right? You also love playing video games, right? Thought so… Around here, both go hand in hand most of the time. Especially since it is cold outside, gotta keep everyone occupied! You won’t believe an awesome new product that is out! It is called “Power Gig: Rise of the Six String” and oh my goodness is it NICE!!!

We received this to review and let me tell you, it is so much fun to play! Not only is this for the Xbox, it is also a REAL guitar!! It is a controller, but a REAL guitar!! Wow! My husband was blown away by the quality of this. It comes with a game and the controller is the reall guitar. It is wireless, so no annoying cords and you just go at it! Kinda reminded me of Rockstar, but this is real. The weight of the guitar alone, is just awesome. It has real strings, you can really adjust them and you can really play along with the game. Talk about a whole new take on gaming (and playing/learning guitar!).

We are so pleased with the Power Gig: Rise of the Six String pack. And, the band kit comes with the game and the SixString guitar controller so you can start playing right away!! Oh, and we did!! You can also be rest assured, that Power Gig’s world of Ohm is a peaceful zone. The ESRB gave the game a T (Teen) rating, listing mild lyrics and mild suggestive themes. So, good for the whole family to enjoy!

More Info On Power Gig: Rise of the Six String:

*It’s a revolutionary band video game with a fully immersive storyline that takes players beyond the music and into a world of intriguing characters, special powers, and an epic journey to save rock and roll.

*Power Gig is the first and only band video game with a real guitar as a controller, so kids can “rock it real” while they play. NO prior guitar experience necessary!

*Power Gig features songs from music superstars like Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, and No Doubt to today’s biggest emerging bands, like  Paramore, Jet, Silversun Pickups, and Snow Patrol.

*Power Gig can help teach basic guitar skills including how to properly press down on a string, hold a pick, and strum. In addition, you can turn on an optional chording mode that will help teach players actual guitar power chords in the songs they are playing.

*Did you know that playing music develops concentration and memory and sharpens hand-eye coordination? And according to NAMM, studies show that music enhances intellectual, physical, emotional, and social development.

Whoosh! So much!

Buy It!

You can purchase the Power Gig: Rise of the Six String at any major retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, GameStop, ToysRUs, BJ’s, QVC, and Amazon.

Hasbro Prize Pack Giveaway (and Review!)

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

nan #62

Love Hasbro toys, games and just all of it! Hasbro has been around forever and I remember getting Hasbro toys as a child, so I am excited that my kids play with Hasbro toys too! Now with the holiday season in full swing, Hasbro has great active games that can be played outside or in front of the family fireplace during cool nights!

Games I would like to suggest to you!!

Cuponk was named to the Toys R Us “Hot Holiday Toy List” and the Kmart “Fab 15.” Not a bad way to start the holiday season! Cuponk challenges players to come up with custom trick shots to show their skills and land the ball in the Cuponk cup. I gave this game to my nephews as it was more their age (for ages 9+). They LOVED playing this game with eachother and their friends. Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). For 1 or more player(s).

The giggles are uncontrollable when the Hasbro Girl Talk Games are out. These games are perfect for fun slumber parties and to keep those “lol moments” alive during the holiday season. Each Girl Talk game, including Dare Confetti, Sparkle Spots, and Sassy Sticks, gets girls and families talking, bonding, and laughing! I gave this to my nieces and man did they have a fun slumber party! My niece was just turning 12, and so this was an absolute hit at her party!

And, Some Stocking Stuffers I thought Were Neat!


Arm And Hammer Spin Brush My Way! The new Arm & Hammer Spin Brush comes with 140 stickers, for decorating your toothbrush! Psst! Get your $2 off Coupon HERE!!

Purell Instant Hand Sanitizer

Everyone needs this in their purse, pocket or bag. With the flu season and cold season here, you just can’t take that chance of getting sick! Use the Purell Instant  Hand Sanitizers on the go or in your home!

Emergen-C Vitamin Drink! Again, this is a must have for the colder weather we have been having. Take diluted in a glass of water for a great immune boost! I think it tastes great. We already had this in the house anyways, and are already a regular user of this product. I like it because it seems to keep me way more healthier, I think.

Scotch Adhesive Dot Roller for all the crafty people out there! Even if you are not crafty, this is pretty neat. You can use it safely on all surfaces, for pictures and more! Me, I did not really like it only because I could not find the right way to get a hold of it, where I could use it properly. It irritated me some. But, that was just my experience with it. Yours could be different!

Check out Hasbros $ Deals!! WOW!!

Sesame Street: Elmo’s A-to-Zoo Adventure Wii Game Giveaway!

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Anne Brooks #25

Gotta love Elmo, but gotta love him more in a Wii game!! Talk about fun times when you pop this game into the Wii console. My kids AND me have a blast playing it!! Sesame Street: Elmo’s A-to-Zoo Adventure is fun, engaging and teaches your kids too! All wrapped up into one! SCORE!

Now, young kids and parents can learn and play video games together with their favorite characters from Sesame Street! The game encourages early math and literacy skills that engage preschoolers in a fun and exciting way. This enables them to learn at their own pace with easy tools for parents to guide them through their experiences.

In Sesame Street Elmo’s A-to-Zoo Adventure, kids head to the zoo with Elmo, Zoe and their animal friends, as they explore games based on a variety of literacy skills, including letter identification, letter sounds and word families. Kids can also explore exciting zoo habitats including the Aquarium, Savanna, Jungle, Wetlands and the Arctic, (this is my kids favorite part!).

This is such a neat game! If you use it for the Wii (you can also purchase it for the Nintendo DS), the gameplay helper is a soft and fuzzy character cover with special grips that slips over the Wii Remote! This minimizes unnecessary buttons and makies it easier and more fun to hold for the little ones. For Nintendo DS, there is a jumbo click stylus designed for smaller hands, simplifying interaction with the touch screen. So, it is comfy for the kids no matter what system or console you use!

Buy It!

You can purchase this game online at Amazon.com!

Win It!

One person is going to win a copy of this game for the Wii!!

Cars Toon: Mater’s Tall Tales Game Review!

By ·

My boy (and me and my hubby) love playing the Wii! My little girl even tries to get in on the fun! That is what I love best about the Wii, it allows for the whole family to play. We received the Cars Toon: Mater’s Tall Tales Wii Game and my boy was very excited!

Cars Toon: Mater’s Tall Tales is inspired by Disney/Pixar’s wildly popular animated shorts of the same name. This game is a multiplayer family fun game, that everyone can get involved in. The game brings Mater and Lightening McQueen together along with the Cars gang, in new fun adventures for everyone! Players will join Mater and his pals as they relive the wild stories he conjures up about hilariously unpredictable events that may or may not have taken place. The voice of everyone’s favorite tow truck, Mater, will be supplied by Daniel Whitney, “Larry the Cable Guy.”

Game Features:

  • Four player simultaneous gameplay
  • Play cooperatively or competitively with family and friends
  • Customize the look of cars with collectibles earned in gameplay
  • Experience all of the Mater’s Tall Tales cartoon shorts in 30+ games

This game is fun, engaging and hilarious! We spent about 2 hours just playing this game. Me and my son (and daughter at times) loved the silliness and ease of this game. You will too, promise!

For more information on this super fun family game, please visit http://disney.go.com/cars/#/products/videogames

Buy It!

You can purchase Cars Toon: Mater’s Tall Tales on Amazon.com, for a fairly good price!

Disclosure:

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Disney Interactive Studios and received the Cars Toon: Mater’s Tall Tales Wii game to facilitate my review.”
