Review: "Monster Tale" - Nintendo DS
Reviewed by Paul for FamilyFriendlyGaming
SCORE: 85/100
It has been a long time since we have heard much about Monster Tale. I saw this game at E3 in the year of our Lord 2010. I hate to admit it, but I had almost forgotten about this Nintendo DS game. So I am very thankful that Majesco Entertainment sent Family Friendly Gaming a reviewable copy. I hope to relay that in this hand held review.

This movie is based on Pastor John Hagee's best selling novel, "Jerusalem Countdown" which highlights the reality of an inevitable conflict between Israel and Islam. With the world at arms today, and Israel's recent retaliation against Gaza, Egypt's downfall, the attacks against Lybia, this could be the most important film you see this year and just in time!

Emery returns with We Do What We Want, one of their heaviest and most uncompromisingly intense releases to date. The record marks their fifth full-length release on Tooth & Nail Records, and is undeniable proof that quality and longevity go hand-in-hand. With over 425,000 records sold lifetime, the band has cemented themselves as a mainstay in the heavy music genre. We Do What We Want is perfect balance of the artistic evolution that we’ve come to expect from the band and the explosive energy that initially won our hearts. The album was produced by Matt Carter (Emery) and mixed by Jason Suecof (August Burns Red).

"Swords of the Six," Sword of the Dragon Series #1 by Scott Appleton
In ancient times a band of warriors escorted a young prince homeward. Only one warrior remained true. He watched helplessly as the others slew their young charge. Death seemed to claim him as well. But he awoke one thousand years later, brought back by the prophets of God to serve them once again as an invisible guardian. One of the prophets, an albino dragon, hatched human daughters out of eggs by giving them the life in his blood. The daughters sought out the traitor to bring him to repentance. Out of remorse for his sins, the traitor slew himself on a sword. Upon the daughters’ return their dragon father sent them to live in a far off forest. The youngest daughter fell in love and wed. But upon giving birth to a beautiful baby girl she gave up the life in her blood and died; making the ultimate sacrifice to bring a child of promise into the world.

Review: "Major League Baseball 2K11" - Wii
Reviewed by Frank for FamilyFriendlyGaming
SCORE: 88/100
There has been a debate for years now concerning graphics versus game play. Major League Baseball 2K11 on the Wii has fantastic game play. The graphics are another story though. I had been playing a Playstation 3 baseball game not too long ago, and was blown away. I started to play Major League Baseball 2K11, and the first thing I noticed was the downgrade in the graphics. My initial reaction was negative. But the more I dug into Major League Baseball 2K11 the more I realized how solid this baseball game is.

1 Samuel 18:1 After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.
A few years ago I heard a popular youth “expert” on Christian radio. He said something that almost made me drive off the road.
“Young people can’t achieve great things for God until they confess all of the sins of their parents.”

Review: "Vertigo" - Playstation Portable/Wii/PC
Reviewed by Paul for FamilyFriendlyGaming
SCORE: 89/100
When we were offered a download code for Vertigo, I was so hoping it was a Playstation 3/Playstation Portable game. Alas it is on the Playstation Portable only. Well technically that is not true. Vertigo is also on the Wii, and the Personal Computer. So this marble rolling game gets around. And yes I meant to use that pun. Players must navigate through some insane mazes at insane heights to try and get to the goal. Falling down results in an explosion for your marble. Or is it ball? Or is it an orb? Round thing okay?

In the two years since Abandon’s Forefront Records debut Searchlights, the San Antonio-based band scored a Dove nomination, throngs of critical acclaim and tours alongside Fireflight, Building 429, Remedy Drive, Teen Mania’s Acquire the Fire, plus a plethora of major faith-based festivals. Amongst all the activity, the modern rockers crafted its sophomore CD Control, which finds the five-some taking the next natural evolutionary musical step, while also turning inward for their greatest lyrical depth to date.

Review by Paeter Frandsen.
Let's get straight to it, shall we? This movie was a nerdly geek-splosion of awesomeness. I'm giving it a 10 out of 10 for my Quality score. Not because it's flawless, but because it's a major achievement in film that shouldn't be ignored. I haven't checked my records to verify, but I don't think I've given another movie a 10 since the first "Iron Man". Like that film, "Sucker Punch" is too much fun, too much of a visual feast and just too freakin' cool to give it anything less.

When Marty’s husband is tragically killed and Marty is stranded in the Old West, she agrees to marry a stranger. The deal seems fair. Since his wife recently died, he is only looking for a mother for his little daughter. And that would give Marty a place to live through the cold winter.
