I posted this on DIYgamer this morning (I also posted a review of Puzzle Bloom, but I’m not entirely sure what I was thinking, posting a review on a day where I’ve been totally swamped with iPad games press releases) but it’s worth mentioning here as well.
Republic of Fun, my neighbors here in Raleigh, NC*, are releasing Pinheads Party, a new Cranium-meets-iPad multiplayer game at the App Store today. Although the Republic of Fun’s manifesto decries genre-ism and the casual gamers vs. core gamers divide this looks like an all-ages casual game to me. (Sorry, el presidente, but without some genre descriptors, I’m left telling you all that it’s um, blue. And pretty!)
“We are more than excited to have Pinheads Party available for the launch of iPad,” says Mike Rasmussen, el presidente, Republic of Fun. “As a gaming device, we believe iPad is where it’s at, and that with our wildly fun games, Republic of Fun can enjoy great success in the App Store. This revolutionary device has really opened up our minds to the limitless gaming possibilities that it affords.”

Cooking Mama isn’t satisfied with Cooking Mama 2, Cooking Mama 3, and Gardening Mama. Upcoming Majesco title Crafting Mama will let players help Mama with her new skills and hobbies.
MAJESCO ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES ‘CRAFTING MAMA’ FOR NINTENDO DS
The extent of Mama’s talents are limitless! She can hold her own in the kitchen and garden next to the world’s best, but now Mama is poised to dominate arts & crafts too as Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, announces Crafting Mama exclusively for Nintendo DS. Developed by Cooking Mama Limited, this all-new crafting game lets players create their own unique crafts across a wide range of different projects.
“Crafting is a natural extension of our most successful franchise,” said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco Entertainment. “Much like last spring’s Gardening Mama, Crafting Mama combines the award-winning Mama formula of addictive stylus-based activities with a popular pastime that has been underserved in videogames. We’re looking forward to sharing Mama’s newest hobby with her vast and diverse group of fans this holiday season.”
In Crafting Mama, players will create 40 different projects across a wide range of different crafts: make patchwork quilts, earrings, candles, xylophones, kaleidoscopes, birdhouses, flower decorations and even mini-Mama dolls! Using the stylus as a universal crafting tool, crafters will sew, mold, glue, cut and paint under Mama’s masterful direction. Best of all, players can use each of their creations within the game itself: dress Mama up in a new apron you’ve sewn or even fly a freshly folded paper airplane. In addition, new materials, colors and patterns are available to customize each project, and multiplayer support lets players create with a friend. Crafting Mama is guaranteed to turn Mama fans into crafty creators in no time!
Crafting Mama for Nintendo DS is expected to release this fall. For additional information about Majesco’s exciting line of products, please visit http://www.majescoentertainment.com/

Game sequels are in a tough spot. Go too far from what we loved in the original, and players who loved the first game will lose interest in the second. Stick too close to the original game, though, and players feel like we’ve bought the same game in a pretty new case.
Cooking Mama 3 brings back all the usual chopping and frying fun, but adds new recipes and techniques. You’ll still use the stylus as a knife, a whisk, a rolling pin and almost any other kitchen implement as you practice cooking with Mama or prepare dishes for guests. You can also dress Mama in different paper-doll outfits, redecorate the kitchen or jazz up your picture diary, but that’s really secondary to cooking.
Translated instructions are still a bit vague, but the game isn’t too punishing for failure to understand what the arrow is telling you to do.
I could spend all day talking about the cutely addictive qualities of cooking with Mama. The stylized utensils, cartoon meat and produce, Mama’s unfailing ability to recover my burned food, and of course the fun of pretend cooking and pretend serving. Recipes come from all different cultures, with an definite Asian focus — some Western dishes are plated just like the UBC coffee menu. Tempura and sushi offered my favorite minigames (chopping!) and prettiest final dishes. I was especially fond of the dried-squid recipe, although the minigames were nothing special, because it reminded me of the rows of hanging squid, an everyday scene in beachside Shandong province.
CM3 has quite a few options involving de-veining shrimp, gutting salmon (slit the fish’s belly and rub the stylus over opening to clean), de-inking squid and other fish-preparation tasks that would be quite unpleasant off Mama’s pink cutting board. My kindergarten-age niece and Cooking Mama partner-in-crime found some of the seafood preparation tasks a little icky, which led to a long discussion about different cultures, and what we find gross, and why. Foreign customs through Cooking Mama! And people say games aren’t educational.
I loved CM2, so finding more of the same in CM3 was great, but there are also some new playmodes. One of the major changes in Cooking Mama 3 is a new multiplayer mode for competitive chopping, egg breaking and other prep tasks. (I often rant about technical issues interfering with game enjoyment, so it’s worth noting how fast Cooking Mama 3 found and connected with the second DS.) There’s also a chance to make up your own recipes, using ingredients and techniques from other parts of Cooking Mama to make something new.
Cooking Mama 3 also offered a new shopping game, which sends players out to pick up ingredients without running into annoying store characters who’ll slow you down by trapping you into annoying minigames. It was uncannily like shopping in China. I enjoyed the cuteness of the supermarket — Cooking Mama really is adorable without becoming an all-pink disaster – but lost interest in the actual games pretty quickly, just like I did with Gardening Mama.
Overall, I found it a great new addition to the Cooking Mama series. If you liked Cooking Mama 2, and you’ve finished unlocking the recipes, rush out and pick up Cooking Mama 3!

In the previous postI reviewed Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World which was released by Bandai Namco Games and Dimps Corporation on Dec 4 2008 and is the latest game in the series. In this post I will Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3. Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was released by Atari, Spike on Nov 27 2007. It is undoubtedly one of the most popular 3d fighting games on the ps2. The ESRB rating of this game is mature Teen. The gamers will be able to choose from a huge cast of playable characters (more than 90!). There are different difficultly levels for different types of players ranging from easy to expert. There are more than 10 single player game modes. The ingame sound is also good. However, Dragon Ballz Budokai Tenkaichi 3 is not without its flaws. The fighting system of the game is not very intense and there is not too much variety in the game. The online multiplayer game modes are not great either. One thing that i hate about this game is that it has no online multiplayer game modes. You won’t be able to play the game with your friends over the internet. Overall, it is a good game and it is better than Dragon Ball Z: Infinite World. I will give it 7.5 out of 10.

LimitlessUnits.com has a post about all the things we’ve learned from videogames. With stories like this one floating around, and the constant bad press videogames get, it’s good to see that other people are getting good things out of gaming. I have to agree with Tony Huynh here, I’ve gotten much more then just enjoyment from playing games. Tony talks about goal-setting, getting over failure and recoving after a loss, decision-making and others. I’ve also written before on how beneficial multiplayer gaming can be in a relationship. Tony says:
Playing video games has taught me…1: …to set goals and overcome challenges.
Video games taught me to set goals. On the surface, the goals in most video games are clearly defined and easy to understand. When I first started playing video games, as I met the challenges of overcoming a level or a boss in a game my self-confidence grew. By setting goals to achieve and persevering to meet my goals I was learning the foundation of what it is to be successful in real life. Just like in real life, as your video game playing matures, the goals in games become more self-appointed, like climbing a competitive ladder or winning a tournament. With video games, I was given a safe place in which learn and grow and take on self-appointed challenges. I began to learn about self-reliance and being able to see the growth in my abilities and learning to trust in myself to accomplish my goals. The self-reliance and confidence in my abilities does not leave me when I turn off the game. It carries through as I set and meet goals in real life as well.
The whole things is worth reading, and possibly printing out for parents/SOs who don’t get why you spend so much time playing games.

Kotaku has a post about a job recruiter (or possibly several) who was asked to avoid hiring online gamers.
When filling out your next job application, it might be wise to leave your level 80 Shaman off of your list of accomplishments, as some job recruiters are being told to avoid WoW players.Forum poster Tale over on the f13 forums relates an experience with a recruiter in the online media industry, who reacted negatively to his conversational admission that he had spent too much time playing MMORPG games.
He replied that employers specifically instruct him not to send them World of Warcraft players. He said there is a belief that WoW players cannot give 100% because their focus is elsewhere, their sleeping patterns are often not great, etc. I mentioned that some people have written about MMOG leadership experience as a career positive or a way to learn project management skills, and he shook his head. He has been specifically asked to avoid WoW players.
I don’t know how I feel on this one. My own gaming doesn’t interfere with my job at all — it seems as silly as avoiding sports fans, because they might want to skip work to watch a game. But I do know some people who let their online life get in the way of their offline life.

GardenParty, the safe and fun online world for kids aged 5-12 years old, is a world where they can not only take part in an array of collaborative and exciting activities, it has also bridged that gap to connect cousins, grandchildren, friends and many more together over the holiday season which can be an especially important time of year. GardenParty allows them to play, interact and work in teams together, along with the all important moderated chat feature.
To celebrate the holiday season, from the 9th of December 2008, GardenParty was transformed into a magical winter wonderland. Of course, the usual array of surprises and rewards (with a festive theme) will be in store for the children along with holiday themed activities. Gardeners can expect many exciting updates at various points in the lead up to Christmas… but when they can be expected is to remain a mystery!

The original Gears of War was the flagship title of Microsoft Xbox 360. It revolutionized the gaming industry initialized a totally whole new genre. Boosting spectacular graphics, incredible camera view and beautiful cinematic, Gears of War was a big hit and it became one of the best games of all time. The second installment of Gears of War was released on November 7 on the Xbox 360 and just like original Gear of War it was a big hit too. GOW 2 offers awesome new environments to explore for the gamers. All new weapons and a new combat system have been introduced in Gears of War 2.

The rumor that you will be able to import images in the PS3 flagship title of the year Little Big Planet has been denied by Media Molecule, the company the developed Little Big Planet. They say that it is possible to import images but they have no plans to bring out any such feature. In case you don’t know about Little Big Planet, here is a brief overview of the game. Little Big Planet lets you take control of a character called Sackboy or Sackgirl which is fully customizable. There are a lot of items available which you can make use of to customize your character and as you progress in the game you will unlock new items. The multiplayer mode is a blast and allows up to four players to play on the same screen or over the internet. The game comes loaded with 50 readymade levels and you can also create your own levels. All the levels that are created by the game designers are created from the level creator that is present inside the game and you can also use it to make equally beautiful and fantastic levels. However, creating a level is a time consuming process. Overall it is a great game and a must have all PS3 owners

I didn’t buy it and decided to wait and I am glad that I didn’t buy it because it is not worth it and I didn’t want to waste my 40 dollars. Though there are some good features too but, overall the game is not great. Control scheme is simple and easy to use. The graphics are not very bad either (am talking about ps2).

Burnout Paradise was released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and it is definitely worth playing because it offers a totally different experience and fun gameplay. Overall it is a great game and I will give it 9 out of 10.
