Let me state first and foremost that 7-year-old, Nikolai, and I have never played a Legend of Spyro game.  Although we are familiar with the Purple Dragon, having seen the commercials for his various game-playing incarnations over the years, we have never championed his battle against evil.  So we were novices to the world of Spyro when we were asked to review The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragons for the Sony PS3.  read more »

When I was a kid in the 70's, ABBA was about the only pop band my mom would listen to, and we had one ABBA tape in the car, so given the option between that and instrumental easy listening, I chose ABBA, and I enjoyed the catchy melodies and beautiful harmonies.

When I got the opportunity to review Guitar Hero Aerosmith, I was thrilled to finally have a chance to see what all of the Guitar Hero hubbub was about. Why was this game, which to the uninitiated player’s eyes is a rip-off of the 80s electronic “follow the blinking light” game Simon, so amazingly popular.
