Wandering through WondLa.

Tony DiTerlizzi, author of the Spiderwick Chronicles and Kenny & the Dragon has just imagined The Search for WondLa. So what's that have to do with our gaming blog? Well, WondLa uses augmented reality where the reader can scan certain pages with a webcam or smart phone camera to explore parts of the new world. It's not exactly a video game, but it is a totally cool way to experience the story. For more information, (AND video games) visit the website wondla.com.

Lego Harry Potter

Joseph says Lego Harry Potter is the best game he ever played. He loved it so much when he took it out from the library, that he is now going to ask for it for Christmas!

So far the hardest part of Year 1 was learning luminos, which is a spell to light the way, but it was the most satisfying, and also the most fun.

Anyone reads or sees Harry Potter should try out this video game. It goes up to three players, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, so it's good for a group!
