Ryan likes the New Super Mario Bros. Wii game. His favorite part is when you get to battle Bowser in the last castle. You have to get through a series of villains and many many blocks to beat this level.

His least favorite part of this game is when you have to collect all of the star coins for World 2. This part of the game is pretty hard.

Ryan would recommend this game for his friends to play.

Jeep Thrills

Elisa likes this driving game because, when you're driving the jeep there's a lot of other competitve jeep drivers that are hard to beat. Plus the trails are all different, mostly windy. You even get to design your own jeep, which is the most fun part, but it can also be hard becayse you have to unlock certain ones (which you can do by driving really well).

"It's addicting... very addicting."

Elisa's least favorite part is when there's this twisty, fast trail that turns into a jump off because it's so hard.

Pure for Xbox 360

Teddy thinks Pure is an awesome game (for cool people) about ATV racing. There are three options for playing: 1. Racing, 2. Sprint, and 3. Freestyle.

You can race by yourself for practice or you can go right into the race game.

Sprint is like a shorter version of the regular racing game. It's a smaller track and you go as many times as you want around it. It keeps a record of how fast you go around, so each time you do, you can beat the record.

Freestyle is cool because you get to pull off the "awesome-ist" tricks you can.

Also, two of the characters, Todd Andrews and his sister are rivals.

If you like wipeouts, there are some really good spots for it. There are two houses that you can crash into. It's fun to watch them smash against it.

Cafeful! If you miss a jump in Alto Vista, you could die instantly.

Ghostbusters for Wii

Ryan likes the game Ghostbusters for Wii. His favorite part is when you have to defeat the architect at the end of the whole game.

He thinks the hardest part is the level with the 13th floor because it's hard to navigate.

Some gaming tips: Try not to destroy items because then you will have to pay money. Also, don't touch the black slime - it lowers your health.

The movie (Ghostbusters) is innapropriate for very young kids, but the game is ok for everyone age 7+.

Rayman Raving Rabbits

Brendan loves Rayman Raving Rabbits for Wii. His favorite part is when you shoot the bunnies. But he says the hardest game is the ball-puzzle because there are little holes that you have to avoid and you have to do the whole thing in 30 seconds.

Lego Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues DS

According to Brendan, Lego Indiana Jones 2 for Nintendo DS is mainly better than the first Indiana Jones game. The players have more super powers than they did in the first adventure, however the game only has one story line. Brendan says his favorite thing is that you can ride motorcycles.
