By Divina With the total success of Just Dance and Just Dance2 (video game review to follow), Ubisoft has taken the best of the games and created a new active game for kids that gets them off the couch and dancing to some of their favorite songs from Yo Gabba Gabba , The Wiggles , The Beach Boys and classic songs like the "Wheels on the Bus" and "The Alphabet Song." I love how this music game encourages everyone to dance, earn points and spend time with the family. Whenever I play these games, we have fantastic family times together whether we our rooting everyone on or getting into the game.

They have Dance Party mode and Team play that will also encourage good times and … [Read more...]

By Divina Don't you just love Dora? She is so cute and now this Holiday season your kids can help her save the Crystal Kingdom and take care of her Puppy. Dora The Explorer: Dora Save the Crystal Kingdom Wii game retails at $39.99 and PS2 game $19.99. Quick synopsis: A greedy King has taken the crystals that make the Crystal Kingdom colorful. Dora along with Boots have to bring the color back by having fun as they fly with butterfly wings and bounce off sparkling crystals. The game is based on a direct to DVD movie of the same name. So if your kids enjoyed the movie they are going to love the educational problem solving games that help them with your colors, shapes and sizes and of course their Spanish speaking. My favorite aspect of the game was the Storybook Helper which allows parents or a big brother or big sister to jump into the game if your little one needs some help. This is perfect for children 4 to 6 years old. Dora The Explorer: … [Read more...]
