If you enjoy action/dexterity games where memorization and color matching are needed, I highly suggest you give Bop It! XT a try. If you are not that kind of person, feel free to dislike Bop It! XT as I am pretty sure the feeling is mutual. This game likes making you feel bad.
Star Wars Fighter Pods, spanning all six films and the animated Clone Wars, is comprised of sets of micro-sized miniatures and plastic "pods" that open to hold one miniature within. From a toy perspective, clearly they are a hit with the little geeks. From the Parent Geek perspective, I greatly appreciate the time and attention put into the miniatures and the wide variety of characters included.
Belfort is a great game, great fun, and wonderfully challenging. I recommend Belfort to Gamer Geeks but only if they enjoy worker placement games. The game has lots of bits, demands a lot from its players, and takes about 2 hours to complete. Mental stamina is a must as every round is as important as the last and the players must constantly be engaged in the game in order to be competitive.
Expand your galactic empire and colonize distant planets or beat them into submission! I am very pleased with Eminent Domain and believe it will be a game requested by family and friends for a good long time. The learning curve is not difficult and the game play becomes fairly intuitive very quickly. Add in the game's excellent production value and you have a deck-building strategy game well worth your time.
I found Dog Collector to be an enjoyable game, especially when I am used to much heavier and lengthier games. It was a refreshing change of pace to learn and teach a light game after teaching heavier games to my little geeks. In fact, I think the game somewhat recharged our batteries.
Digital distribution is the future. There is no doubt about that. The convenience of downloading video games and media over a broadband internet connection, combined with the extremely affordable pricing and staggering number of titles most digital distribution services offer make it a very competitive marketplace.
