National Geographic Challenge for Wii

Allow players to explore our planet through its history and geography, starting a journey through the world’s different ages and all its continents witnessing the extraordinary extent of mankind’s achievements.  The works of Michelangelo, the secrets of the emperor Nero, the adventures of the great Caesar, the mysteries on the history of Charlemagne, the oddities of animal lives and the most bizarre geographical curiosities contained in the “National Geographic Challenge!” will satisfy your thirst for knowledge and liven up your evenings together providing sheer entertainment!

If you are a trivia buff with an good knowledge of geography, science, & history, then this game is for you!

You can play up to 4 people so awesome for the whole family to play at once.

I recommend even playing on teams because I think this game is HARD. My boys, at ages 7&9, play it, but also end up quitting early because it is to much of a challenge. I played against them the other day and even I didn’t have an easy time.

We are eager to get the Smart-Trivia-Loving-Hubby- to play with us because I think he would really like it!

Besides questions, there are puzzles and other little areas like anagrams, to figure out along the way.

With over 4,000 questions you can have fun for a long time ~ and learn a lot too! :)

We received this game for review and all opinion are my own.

Nintendo DS Dagedar Review

Dagedar was released just this past November. The game is based on the Dagedar racing balls. Has this mama heard of Dagedar before? No, but of course my boys have and they were thrilled to receive a copy!

Each DaGeDar holds a unique “spirit within” that offers advantage to the player during each race. Using sharp reflexes players do battle in a game of speed and skill as they race their DaGeDar ball to the end of a virtual raceway. Each raceway is composed lanes that loop, drop, climb and bank – but also contain blocks, and gaps that will knock the player off their game.

100 basic DaGeDar balls to unlock and choose from.

Each ball carries abilities of Acceleration, Top Speed, Defense and Attack. Single or Multi-Player game play.

2 balls are in play at a time. (though each of my boys have a DS you need TWO games to play each other. A bummer.)

50 fast and furious raceways.

Typical race time is 2-3 min.

This is a racing game! Instead of cars, the balls have different abilities and roll on different tracks. The levels get harder as you go of course. It’s fast moving and you better be paying attention!

C’Man is nine and can play it like a pro. O’Bear is seven and has a bit harder time with it.

I decided to put my hand to it because as I was watching C’Man play, I thought okay, that doesn’t look very hard. WRONG! C’Man made it look easy! Gosh, these kids know what they are doing. I couldn’t even get past the first section as my ball would knock the electric fence and I would have to go back to the beginning. ha!! :)

As I write this, C’Man is cheering for myself as he unlocks new balls and tracks. I guess it is a hit!

This game was given to us for review and all opinions are mine.

Video Game Day! Ben 10 Galatic Racing X360, PS3, Wii, DS, 3DS Giveaway

I think all young boys like Ben 10. Combine Ben will a lot racing and you have a game they are running to play!

Choose your character and your car and you are ready to go. Easy peasy.

Even I sat down and used my mommy skills to race against my kids! It was a no brainer on who won…yeah not me :)

But wait, why can’t we use the Wii Wheel? That was the feature I was disappointed in, but it didn’t seem to affect C’Man & O’Bear!
