007: Quantum of Solace for Wii Review

007: Quantum of Solace is a fun first person shooter (if you like that kind of thing). As a mom of an 11-year old boy, I have allowed him to play (despite the Teen rating), but I prefer if he played something else.

My son loves this game, and could spend hours at it. The object of the game is to kill all your opponents through sniper shooting, handgun shooting, and even hand-to-hand combat. You can pick up guns and ammo along the way and switch between a multitude of different types of firearms.

Super Smash Bros Brawl For Wii

Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii is plain and simply -  FUN! Every age loves it, from 5-80. And it crosses the gender lines, so its the perfect game to invest in. OK, so some may ask why I recommend this for young players, when its rated Teen. It has all your favorite Nintendo characters in various fight scenes. This isn’t the kind of violence you’d see in a Teen rated single person shooter like 007 Quantum of Solace, so why these two games are rated the same is beyond me!

For the single player game, the player is taken through an adventure game through mazes and old and new scenes to defeat the bad guys to get to the end. Read More …

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs for Wii

If you love Ice Age, the movie, (and, who doesn’t love these characters) then you’ll love the video game for Wii. Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaur is an adventure game as a single player where you follow the clues and solve the puzzles to advance in the game.

Its rated E10, but honestly I don’t see why a younger child wouldn’t love this game. In fact, my son, who is 11 years old, thought it was a little too easy for him. There are spoken and written instructions to guide you through the adventure, where to go next, and how to use the Wii remote to accomplish the tasks.

You can even play in multiplayer mode, but only in the minigames. I would have liked the ability to take part in the adventure as one of the other characters in multiplayer mode. You can choose between any of your favorite characters including Sid, Manny, Diego, Scrat, and the newest character Buck. Read More …
