May 2, 2012 by Eddy 95 Comments

Rush Disney Pixar Adventure XBOX 360 Kinect game

Update: This Giveaway Sweepstakes is Closed congrats to the winners! What kid is going to say no to a party that includes Disney/Pixar favorites The Incredibles, Toy Story, Cars, Ratatouille and Up? I definitely know what the answer was in the Dancing Hotdogs home. When we found that we were going to have an opportunity to try out the new Kinect game Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure (A actual review of the game will be coming up), we jumped at the chance. We invited all the kids we knew and had a huge bash. Honestly, I didn’t even know we knew so many children, I am pretty sure a couple just snuck in before we closed the door. In order to accommodate the crowd we had to have playtime outside, and bring in the kids almost one at a time inside to play the game. Any of you who have Kinect will agree how difficult it is to play with a whole bunch of children all at the same time. You definitely run into the problem of people walking in the way or looking to … [Read more...]

To join us on journey was our trusty sidekick Mommy! and the newest trainee to the Corps, Baby Brother.
