Christmas is for Kids Give it Forward Project Update


Photo-A-Day #2778

The christmas is for Kids Give it forward Project is going strong. When we came back from our trip to New York City there was a huge box and four smaller boxes with all sorts of things for me to review and much to give to Christmas is for Kids. I received a giant box of Batman Power Attack figures from Mattel. They are part of a box to throw a Batman Power Attack party but I was able to get the box to review and donate many of the toys to Christmas is for Kids. There are a ton of great figures that are going to be donated. I kept and reviewed a few Batman figures and one Robin figure plus the Total Destruction Batmobile. That is a pretty sweet ride. Eva and I made a video of that today and we’ll have that up in a few days.

We also received multiple packages from Blip Toys including their new Amazimals line of toys. We got three puppies that each do something different. Eva got to choose one of them to keep and review. The rest are going to Christmas is for kids including a Squinkies Zinkies set.

And last but not least was the stuff that we got from our trip to the Activision Family Game Summit in New York. Allison and I each got a bag and the bags were filled with video games, toys and more. We kept some of the stuff for ourselves and are going to buy a family Nintendo 3Ds to play all the games and we also kept some for gifts for friends as well. But the bulk of what received is going to Christmas is for kids including $20 in Target gift cards for what we as a family are going to buy. We need to do that shopping soon.

Be on the lookout for toy reviews coming very, very soon.

Review: Transformers Prime The Game for the Nintendo Wii & DS

I’ve played every Transformers game for the Wii that has come out. All the movie ones, the Cybertron ones and now I got my hands on a copy of Transformers Prime the Video Game. Some of the past games have missed the mark but this one has impressed me from the jump. The story follows team Prime (Optimus, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Arcee and Bulkhead plus the kids Jack, Miko and Raf) as they try and stop the Decepticons from obtaining a asteroid sized chunk of dark energon. You take on the role of a different Autobot with each mission starting with Optimus Prime. I liked this because some games you never got to play Optimus until much later. He’s a fan favorite and I think it is great that you can play him first. Continue reading Review: Transformers Prime The Game for the Nintendo Wii & DS
