Disney Playmation Marvel Avengers review- digital role playing unleashed

Disney Playmation sounds like-and to an extent looks like, a toy that you’ve seen before. It comes in a big box that you’ll find in the video game isle. The box is big enough to look like it’s a separate console system, but Disney Playmation is a technology based game that encourages kids to stand up, play, use their imaginations, get excited and even get outside. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before and if kids get the hang of it then it could revolutionize the way they ‘play’ with technology.

Win a 6-pack of Tonka Metal Diecast Bodies #Giveaway

In our garage I have a section where my old toys live. Granted, it’s a small section but all of my old Tonka trucks live there. There’s a Jeep, dozer and crane. The crane is not working too well, but the dozer and the Jeep purr right along in our child’s sandbox with his modern toys. That distinctive yellow and black, plus the construction that gave it the mojo to last 40+ years. The new line of Tonka Metal Diecast Bodies is like that. They’ve got the same quality, have amazing detail and are built for play.

Tonka still makes the trademark yellow and black construction vehicles. They’ve just branched out into smaller vehicles that cover any work situation imaginable. An Ice Resurfacer, Excavator, Dump Truck, Tow Truck, Cement Mixer and more. If you can think of a truck that moves and does work Tonka probably has one for it at 1:55 scale.

Pie Face Game, a fun testament to truth in advertising

You’ve probably seen one of the Pie Face Game videos on YouTube. The first one we saw was called ‘World’s Coolest Granddad’ or something like that. It featured a child with his grandfather playing the game. The child was laughing hysterically, as were all of the people in the room. It was a genuine, simple homemade video that let millions of people see the family have fun, as well as, asking what the heck is that game. All of the kids played Pie Face Game recently; they laughed hysterically, made a mess and tried desperately to convince, mom, dad or any of the grands to get in with them.

Guitar Hero Live giveaway as part of #BPopEvents

Christmas and the holidays are super close and we’re giving away one of the most popular video games, Guitar Hero Live. What game system do you have? It doesn’t matter. How good of an axe grinder are you? Blaze a trail down butcher city, you can practice. We reviewed the game and (spoiler alert), it’s great. It’s also very challenging, but can be played on any one of three levels to match your guitar skills.
We’re doing this as part of #BPopEvents. It’s a group of cool bloggers who band (no pun intended) together every three months to giveaway buckets of stuff from the companies that work with us.

Dig along with #BPopEvents to see what they’re giving away. I’ve seen a Star Wars game grab bag, purses worth $240, children’s shoes and concert tickets all during the first day-and it keeps going for three days. Most of the giveaways are open for two weeks, but they’ll vary according to each blogger.

This one though is for the gamer and Guitar Hero Live is great fun for them. It does not matter what gaming system you have. XBOX One, PS 4, Wii, XBOX 360 or PS 3-all the winner will have to do is tell us what gaming system they have and we’ll pass it on. One of the cool things about Guitar Hero Live is that new music is always being loaded to the GHTV aspect of the game. Just today Shake Me by Cinderella, Rush-Fly By Night and music by Iggy Pop, R.E.M., Audioslave, Neon Trees and Judas Priest were added, just to name a few. The game is rated T due to some of the lyrics that players might encounter and is produced by Freestylegame.com.

Modarri cars, durable, buildable kits for 8 and up

We were provided with product for review. All thoughts are our own. Large plastic buses are the gateway for kid vehicles. When they turn 4ish, they start to crave Hot Wheels and it’s possible that phase lasts for decades. Shortly after this age kids want to create things. Certainly the age of LEGO will satisfy that. However with cars kids want to pretend they’re driving them, push them down with their fingers and have them careen of cliffs, play sets or race down the driveway. Modarri is the car that fills this void, it’s something that children 8 and up can build, customize, is highly durable and rolls without any effort.

A Modarri kit comes with everything (including the screwdriver) that a child needs to create their own finger driven car. You can choose from dirt, street or track, with each design taking on a scaled down appearance of their full size brethren.

eeBoo has those creative and quirky toys that you can never find

Whenever we vacation in a new city I always visit their toy and book stores. That way I can see what brands or toys are popular in other parts of the country, as well as get introduced to some possible local authors. The toys that you see in those stores have that look. They look individualized, special and like they were made just for your child. Many of those toys also won the Best Toy Award from the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio. eeBoo is a site that contacted us recently and has oodles of toys and activities that fit that bill. Through December 12 they’re also have 20% off if you use code dadddymojo20 when you check out.

The concert action in Guitar Hero Live is everything you axe’d for

We received a copy of the game for review purposes. I play guitar. I play guitar in my car. Sometimes I also casually strum at my desk in-between thoughts or cat videos. For air guitar or real musicians anywhere Guitar Hero Live is for you. It’s all guitar. You axe demons; Satriani wannabes and alt-rock legends get your groove on or head to the car, because this is as close to playing in front of festival crowds as most of us will get. In my case, that’s a good thing. After two hours of playing it skills improved, but not to the extent where the crowd or my band mates approved of what I was playing.

Spot It! Miles From Tomorrowland, learning made fun

Is it better to refer to Spot It! as learning made fun or fun made learning? It is a fun card game that kids of varying ages will enjoy and have fun with, but they’ll also learn something from it. We were provided with Spot It! Miles From Tomorrowland, Spot It! Basic French and Spot It! Basic Spanish for the kids to try out. Each deck of cards comes in a tin can with round cards that have letters, pictures, words or numbers on them. Any two cards will have one pair of things that are an exact match. It sounds simple and to an extent it is, but it’s also great practice for young minds who are learning early concepts.
