Best iPhone Math App for Preschoolers
Now that Jack is 4, he is looking for more challenging math apps than Ike’s Machine and Dino Math, both superb apps for toddlers (reviews on the way). Fun math apps for kids are a rarity so I was glad to have found My First Weighing Exercises. It offers 3 levels of difficulty. And the [...]
Read MoreBest Educational App for Toddlers
Hands down, it is the excellent Dem Bones. It is cute, teaches anatomy in a fun and positive way, and it is beauty in its simplicity. Jack loves it and loves showing it to everyone. He started playing it when he was 3 and even now at almost 4 he still plays it. Here are [...]
Read MoreBest iPhone App for Baby
At 1 year old, Jade’s tried a whole bunch of apps designed for babies and the one she consistently wants is the Bumblebee Touchbook. She can watch the movie of the bees flying about forever, accompanied by the familiar music of a Beethoven classic. And when she is older she can start reading the book [...]
Read MorePlants vs Zombies Early Game Strategy
I love this game. Playing it from the start again. Here’s my early game strategy: 1. Plant as many Sunflowers as you can. This is number one priority. 2. Get your Shooters out as fast as you can. 3. Have a line of defence, like these purple Biters. 4. Make sure you always have a [...]
Read MorePlants vs Zombies iPhone Game Review
This game really deserves the 5 stars it has received in great abundance at the App Store. I bought it because I was curious how a game could garner such overwhelming reviews. 2 minutes into the game and I was hooked. The premise is simple: grow sunflowers to collect sunlight points to plant plants with [...]
Read MoreCredit Card Number Not Working for TBC Upgrade
I had this same problem the last time I tried the direct online upgrading to The Burning Crusade and just gave up. The irony was that Blizzard had accepted the same credit card for my monthly subscription. This time I had more at stake. I just hit level 60 and could not earn any more [...]
Read MoreAnother Month on WoW
So I have to say, WoW hooked me good this time. Patch 3.3 really made soloing much easier with their new quest tracking system with in-built map and for some reason, my rogue seems more powerful as a solo character (either that or playing it for the past 4 years has made me a better [...]
Read MorePlaying WoW again!
Well, trying to. At this rate, I might probably squeeze in another hour before my 10 day free trial is up. Day 1: By the time everything was patched it was 3am. I logged on, admired my dragon whelpling, dismayed at having to redo my talent tree, gawked at my inventory and quest list, and [...]
Read MorePatching WoW in Vista and Back to WoW!
The free 7 days game time Blizzard sent me for WoW lured me back and my old WoW pal (and RL friend) was thrilled to see me log on today. It’s WoW’s 5th anniversary and everyone’s celebrating. But first came the patches. I wasn’t too far off since I last played in 2008, but still [...]
Read MoreVideo Games in the New Millennium
I must confess it has been years since I have gamed on anything other than a PC (and now iPod Touch). Video games have come a long way since I was a kid some 30 years ago. I was one of the earliest players of GameBoy, well, when it was just GameBoy. To me, the [...]
