Judging the success and quality of LEGO Star Wars, a personal favorite fun time that I play with my kid, anything dealing with the LEGO franchise is going to be a hit.

Our panel of experts, two eight year old boys and one eleven year old young lady, have reviewed the information we have on the Summer 2009 upcoming LEGO Battles from Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Their expert opinions can be summed up in these statements, "What do you mean we can't play it now? I thought you were showing us something we could do now. When is it coming out, can we play together? Ooo, I gotta have that so I can build a castle and zap "insert child's name here".

Yeah, apparently, I am a glutton for punishment.

LEGO Castle, LEGO Pirates and LEGO Space will be combined into a seventy (plus?) level, six story-line epic where you get to put LEGO spacemen battling next to LEGO knights in multiplayer enabled by wireless DS multi-card. The comedy in any LEGO title is always worth the price of the software itself, and I don't have to worry about the content when it comes to turning on the electronic babysitter (aka game console). Ok, I'm lieing through my teeth, "maybe" the kids get to play, if I get out of their way long enough.

Yes, you read that correctly, in Abylight's new release "Fish'em All!™" for WiiWare arriving in America next Monday, 8 th June there is a mode that allows you to fill up a tube with fish, match the colors the fish go poof, fill the tube...and "Game Over".

The WiiWare title is for one or two players, has three different game modes - Challenge, Arcade, and, you guessed it, Fishtris!

Playing in Challenge mode allows you to unlock new stages, that you can then play in two-player mode. Arcade mode is a competitive race against the clock, old school coin-op flavored, beat the high score fun fest. Don't forget to put that strap around your wrists folks, broken windows are a pain to replace and explain to insurance adjusters.



I foresee an awful lot of time being used to find new and interesting ways of feeding the characters to the shark, dragon, a few spiders. Call me unstable, but though feeding your character to the enemy is not the goal of the game, that looks like a very fun part of the visuals.

PaperKraft.net presents us with the coolest retro blast back to good 'ole Donkey Kong. That monkey sure has gotten around over the years.

One of these days, I am going to have to print some of these fun things out and have a hand at filling the house with fun and totally useless stuff, not that I don't do that already, but I will be able to do it in the name of handcrafting. :P
