Disneyland Adventures

Media_httpuploadwikim_vguxn

Unbelievably Disney have managed to create something for the kids which means that you don't have to spend thousands going to America to enjoy their parks. You can discover Disneyland from the comfort of your living room. There are lots of 'rides' and associated games to play, you can 'meet' the characters and get their signatures. The kids think it's the one in Florida (Disneyworld) because it looks the same. Which is great!

As it works through Kinect it makes its more 'magical' and seems to add to the sense of adventure. The recreation of the park is pretty good, you certainly get the feel of it and there are so many things to do it is a game that will be useful through the winter months to keep the little cherubs busy.

As I write Leo is still playing, he has been doing this all day. I'm not sure he's even been to the bog, or breathed, all day.

We were going to go back in the future, but there is no point now.

Modern Warfare 3 - My take on the mayhem

Before I start I want to point out that I do not spend hours and hours gaming (honest). However, over the years I have played through a number of game series including Grand Theft Auto, Brothers in Arms etc and of course, Call of Duty.

I was a great fan of the original Modern Warfare, but was a bit disappointed buy its sequel, so I had high hopes for this one. Overall it's better than MW2 but still not as good as MW1. There are some jaw dropping scenes, the best one in my opinion was chasing an underground train and watching it crash, the other being the Eiffel Tower falling over! As usual there is plenty of stuff to blow up and shoot in a variety of ways. Sadly, there is not enough ability to call in air strikes or sit in an AC130 blowing the shit out of the enemy. The whole storyline is a bit old and dull as well, hopefully for the next one things will be refreshed. But, that aside it's a great game with the usual amount of destruction. If you're stressed, by this.
