I consider myself a Star Wars® fan and I enjoy online gaming so I was interested in playing the new Star Wars® Clone Wars Adventures® game online. This game from Lucas Arts and Sony Online Entertainment is rated E10+. This game is definitely a step up from Petville and Farmville. It puts itself in the arena of Cartoon Networks’ Fusion Fall online game for youths age 10+. The base level membership is free with options to upgrade to a paid subscription to access exclusive content. You can also purchase in-game items through credit card, PayPal® or through your cells phone’s SMS (text messaging service). I quickly and easily set up a character and began exploring. Each room I explored had a game I could play. There are strategy [...Read More]

Players assume the identity of nearly any Star Wars character (good and bad) to play through all six Star Wars stories. Environment: Science Fiction world. Themes: Good vs. Evil / Flirtatious expressions, kissing and an occasional temper tantrum. Weapons: Blaster guns and of course, the Force (a supernatural manipulation of energy), Light Sabers (laser like swords). Cartoon Violence: Lego likenesses of movie characters. Attacking opposing characters and co-op players causes them to break into Lego pieces leaving behind collectible Lego studs that players can use to buy items in the game. Luke’s hand is amputated by Darth Vader and Luke decapitates Darth Vader in the swamp scene. There is no blood. The characters communicate story plot and story lines through vocal gestures not actual dialogue. The Darth Vader [...Read More]

Players assume the identity of Sackboy and make him/her their own. Sackboy quickly becomes the players’ avatar and maybe an alter ego. This game is the “Facebook” of video games. The tagline “Play Create Share” is exactly what this game delivers. Players jump, grab, swing, explode, smack, slide, pout and laugh their way through amazingly creative, beautiful levels. This “Willy Wonka” like environment offers puzzles, enemies, time trials, and a myriad of hazards to complete the levels. Even the music in this game is innovative and something you probably haven’t heard before. Gamers can play the levels locally on their PlayStation console or online with about a billion other LBP players. You can also use the in-game tools to create your own levels and share your levels with [...Read More]

I play this game just to be visually stimulated. This game is gorgeous! Batman™; the DC Comics vigilante fighting against crime without guns. As Batman™ you battle through DC’s plethora of villains desperately trying to get to and ultimately defeat The Joker. Environment: The asylum is dark, gritty and full of Gotham’s criminally insane. Inmates and guards are lying on the floor injured or dead and sometimes in pools of blood. The entire story takes place at night. Arkham Asylum is a draconian throwback to experimental and tortuous therapies to cure criminals. More or less it is where criminals are sent to be forgotten. It’s a psychotic episode to be sure. Alcohol & Tobacco reference: I don’t recall any character actually drinking alcohol nor actually smoking tobacco. The [...Read More]

Before I begin, let me just say thank you to Santa Monica Studio for this amazing game franchise! I love the God of War games and I am definitely sorry to see it end. Kratos: God of War. Really, need I say more? He’s the God of War. He kills people: A lot of people. This means you’re the God of War. You kill people: A lot of people. There’s blood everywhere during battle. This guy’s very angry; at himself, at the world, at the Gods. He seeks revenge on the Gods. Pulling out the Cyclops eye is still effective.You actually get to bash Helios’ head into the ground and then rip it off to use as a flashlight. At one point in this game you pick Hermes [...Read More]
