  • Silly Bandz Video Game Coming along with Marvel Avengers Silly Bandz

  • Loopz by Mattel – Review
    I originally saw this game at the 2010 Toy Fair, and it was interesting to me then.  Now that I actually have it in my possession, I can tell you it is pretty awesome!  It does a lot more than I had originally thought, and my 6-year-old, given the choice, would rather play this than video games.  How long that will last I do not know, but it does speak to the fact...

  • Squap Me!
    There’s a new outdoor toy on the market.  Squap is a toss and catch game, with a twist.  You fit the snap trap over your hand like a mitten or a puppet, and when you open your hand it flings the ball up and out.  It looks sort of like a fingertip trampoline.  To catch the ball you snap your fingers shut.  It’s big in Germany, a bestseller.  Look for...

  • Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart move over – Jasper Time!
    Okay, so Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner have to hog the covers to major magazines (and interiors), not only that, but they also get all of the puzzle love, but not any more! I ran into this new puzzle which actually is pretty cool because it apparently shows a bit of story, and features Jasper Hale (portrayed in the films by Jackson Rathbone)....

  • Can You See What I See? Bingo Link by Gamewright – Review
    We have been playing this game for a while on Family Game Night and I really want to make sure I let the world aware of how fun this game really is.  As you can tell from the description below the game has you calling out a picture on your board and trying to match two of the same edge colors with a line of covered pictures.  The strategy is that you want to make sure...
