Renegade Game Chair Review
This game chair offers a decent feature set at a more reasonable price than Ultimate Game Chair's other pricier offerings.
The Book of Games Review
Volume One of this series of books does a grand job of introducing gaming to the masses, but offers a lot of familar information for gamers already in the know.
While Pac-Man's kart racing game is fun to play, it's not quite as challenging as other games in the genre.
Monkeys in balls should be strictly in puzzle games, not adventure games.
Monster House is a short but fun action game for the kids that adults will not enjoy playing..
Games based on the upcoming movie slated for 2009
Congratulations to the winners!
Only take an hour or so to get things in order.
