Must-Have Nintendo DS Accessories

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

Like most pre-teens, my sons absolutely love video games. They carry their handhelds with them wherever they go (except to school, of course), and would happily spend all day playing Mario Kart, Pokemon, and Lego Star Wars if I let them. I think video games are a mostly harmless habit, as long as the boys observe the strict time limits I’ve imposed and as long as they only play titles that are rated “E” for everyone. And since they consistently meet my two rules, I don’t mind buying them all the Nintendo DS accessories and games they want for their birthday and Christmas. Actually, I would probably buy some of these Nintendo DS accessories whether the boys asked for them or not.

The Best Video Games You Can Play Online

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

I remember when the Atari first came out. I was just a little kid, and was lucky enough to have a dad who wanted to give us the best and most fun toys, so one day he came home with the Atari 2600. It was big and bulky, the graphics were kind of comical, and the games mostly inscrutable to a four-year-old, but it managed to start a lifelong love affair with video games for me. Nearly thirty years later now and the love affair is still going strong. The difference is that the Atari 2600 and its subsequent followers have been replaced by consoles, computers and handhelds, all of them featuring the most important revolution in gaming: video games you can play online.

If you had a computer back in the olden days, then you likely remember playing some exciting games. Some of those ‘primitive’ games seemed cool at the time and even if you did not like them, you had two choices, either quit gaming or develop your own games.
