December 2009 Archives
Only last week I was compiling the games of 2009 list and now this week I am looking ahead to what 2010 holds for gamers.
Technology in gaming has progressed immensely in the last 12 months. The 360 has gone from strength to strength, and the PS3 is now pushing it to the limits.
My three-year-old girl is so obsessed with Peppa Pig she even calls me Daddy Pig.
That may have something to do with my love of crisps though I guess.
If you have young children and you have a Wii it's a fair bet that this game is on your radar anyway already.
Thinking of investing in a Nintendo Wii this Christmas? It might seem like the perfect gift, but the video game console could leave you with more than just a ã199 dent in your finances.
Experts warn that inflammation of the wrist, knees and shoulders - as well as torn ligaments - can be the result of hours spent playing Wii games. They've coined 'Wii-knee' and 'Wii-itis' (pronounced 'Wee-eye-tis') to describe the phenomenon.
I LOVE the daft but fun BBC show Total Wipepout, so was more than a little excited to receive The Ultimate Red Ball Challenge for the Wii.
My three-year-old daughter Lily is used to seeing me glued to my laptop. She is also great at wiping off my work when I am not looking as she tried to have a 'play'.
Luckily for me and my job prospects there is an excellent laptop available that should keep her occupied.
I don't think anyone would have predicted a sequel to the Stylophone, not even Rolf Harris.
The retro revival of the Stylophone though has prompted just that.
This new version is very different though.
I stumbled upon devolo products about 2 years ago and I have been impressed ever since.
This constantly evolving range revolves around the principle of wirelessly and efficiently networking your whole house up through your electrical mains via plug sockets.
In terms of value for money I can honestly say that the Nintendo DS has been the best money I have spent.
The versatility and innovation I have seen over the last few years and the pleasure it has given my kids is second to none.
Never has a game perplexed me more than this one.
It's easy to look straight at the iffy graphics and diabolical voice acting and head straight for the off switch.
Murder mystery time for DS owners as you work alongside the famous detective Hercule Poirot to solve a series of murders committed by a madman.
