I pre-ordered Super Mario Galaxy 2 today -- got a super deal - not only did I get a $20 coupon code by pre-ordering the game, but I managed to snag a couple other pre-owned mario titles, and got 20% off those too!
I used a coupon code from this purchase genius coupons site.
I can not wait!!
This is not specifically game related, but I know a lot of gamers love comic books like me - This is so cool, I love the luxury of being able to read books on my iPod touch, but now the iPad is sooo much better with the larger screen. This weekend I signed up at this iPad electronic book site - so cool the technology today, now I can chill out on my deck, currently reading "The Disciple" by Stephen Coonts. Text, pictures, nice user interface. Even better, the service has our regional newspaper and it kept my son busy with the comic books. Check it out! (MPM)
Found this today, Three Dragon Ante -- A D&D-themed card game a fun, fast, fantasy-based card game.
This is a fun card game for 2-6 players and showcases dragons from the D&D world. It is easy to learn and play, this game is great for everyone, from dedicated D&D gamers to poker fans to casual card players. D&D characters can also play Three Dragon Ante within the context of any D&D campaign
I am going to try it out - it is nice to take a break sometimes and play something a little less intense, but still in the D&D theme.

This looks good, ordered it to play with the family-
Once Upon A Time is a game in which the players create a story together, using cards that show typical elements from fairy tales. One player is the Storyteller, and creates a story using the ingredients on her cards. She tries to guide the plot towards her own ending. The other players try to use cards to interrupt her and become the new Storyteller. The winner is the first player to play out all her cards and end with her Happy Ever After card.
I like the fact that it has great pictures to help stimulate imagination. It also adds some structure to the play. Should be lots of fun quality time!

Dungeons & Dragons is a pen-and-paper (PNP) role-playing game, where players create persona's or characters using rules, dice and some imagination. Similarly the game is played this way - there is a game master that is in charge of organizing and running a game or campaign and controlling the monsters or NPC's (non-player-characters) and the players that are in charge of their own PC's or Player Characters.
The name 'Dungeons & Dragons' (D&D) is a specific set of rules for a role playing game (RPG). There are other PNP RPG's for all kinds of settings, including sci-fi, modern world and more. Some games are fairly simple, having minimal rules, minimal detail, while others can be extremely complex. D&D is in-between, it can be played using only basic rules, but is also able to scale up and you can utilize the many available books for additional rules, game features and detail.
Once the rules are understood, it can be an enjoyable experience for years to come. It is something that I thoroughly enjoy, and most kids enjoy dragons, monsters, heroes, castles and so on. They especially enjoy using their imagination to make up stories and 'play'. However, children under the age of 12, or in my case age 7, do not have the patience to learn and follow even the basic rules for a game such as this.
So I have been playing some farmville - at first it seemed like a silly idea for a game - sit and work on a farm in my computer. Well, it is actually quite fun! I like RTS and world building games, and farmville reminds me of that genre. One thing that is frustrating is knowing all the tricks - some of my friends have houses and all kinds of money. They are nice enough to help me out on occasion, but I was sick of struggling.
I needed an edge. I am used to other games where I could buy in-game items using real world cash, and after some research I finally found my secret weapon. I bought this eBook - FarmVille Secrets - it is pretty amazing, the little tips and tricks that save me sooo much time and let me make faster gains in my farm.
After the first week using some of my new tricks, my friends asked if I was sitting home all day playing! HA!
I am not to my million yet,but moving along nicely!
