Rattlesnake Game Review

By Cyrus | January 13, 2011 - 9:59 am |August 15, 2011 Reviews

Fun with magnets! Very strong magnets! The kind of magnets that could erase your computer’s hard drive a good 10 feet away. But that’s part of the fun, and the chaos, of the game. Surprisingly, it is the eggs you have to watch out for, not the rattlesnakes. Continue reading →

Space Hulk is a game that is both visually pleasing and very accessible to my six-year old son. If you enjoy miniatures-based combat as well as a sci-fi theme, Space Hulk is the game for you! Continue reading →

Overall, as a person who enjoys puzzles, this game hits the spot. With a few tweaks for young players, it was like both of us working together on a classic picture puzzle, but with additional learning opportunities. Continue reading →

Disney Pixar Cars Supercharged Raceway Game Game Review

By Brian | December 21, 2010 - 10:59 am |August 15, 2011 Reviews

The game is the worst example of cashing in on a property name that I have ever seen. It does not teach anything meaningful and is a complete and total waste of family game time. Continue reading →

As the name suggests, Zingo! is an derivation of Bingo. Each player is given a card with a 3×3 grid of picture symbols with the word describing the symbol. But is it fun? Continue reading →

Comments Off on Labyrinth Game Review

It’s a classic game … no, not Monopoly … where intrepid adventurers seek treasure, and danger lurks at every corner … okay, there’s no danger, really, it’s more of a scavenger hunt. Continue reading →
