For those of you who follow my gaming recommendations, you’ve heard lots about my two sons, ages 7 and 9 — and the games that we play together. But there are two other gamers in my family, whose ages are 3 and 29-and-holding — and their favorite pastime right now is Cooking Mama –…

The best kids’ game that I know of — LEGO Star Wars
These have been out for a while, so this recommendation is a little late — but as I have been telling folks about it for a while, I wanted to get this in print. The first release, LEGO Star Wars, was actually for the last generation of gaming consoles — and covered the first…

source : http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9885383-7.html?tag=nefd.only Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, died on Tuesday at the age of 69, due to heart problems.

Family Game Recommendation — Fantastic Four : Rise of the Silver Surfer
My sons are 7 and 9 — and we are routinely looking for 3-player games. We’ve done party games like Viva Pinata : Party Animals, as well as Fuzion Frenzy2. We have games on our Nintendo GameCube and Wii. And we currently do a lot of tag-teaming on 2-player games, where I play with…

You gotta get a Home Server!
My first “home server” was in 1992 – it was NetWare 3.11 and I distinctly remember paying $1,000 for the 1GB 5.25″ full-height SCSI drive that would hold all of my data. I was working on my CNE certification and wanted some experience at home, while I studied. I vaguely recall having to go to…
Viva Piñata : Party Animals … recommendation from a gaming dad
As most of you know, when I am not obsessing over Data Protection or Windows Storage concepts, I can often be found playing Xbox360 with my family. So, outside of my weekly backup/storage posts, I am intending to routinely offer my “reviews” (opinions) of games that I play. Hey, maybe if Xbox Dad (the real…
Go make a Snowflake – and other Christmas gadgets worth checking out
I love the Internet gadgets that come out around the holidays. My favorite so far has to be the "Go Elf Yourself" from OfficeMax… where you insert your own headshots on little elf bodies and they dance for you. It will literally have you rolling on the floor laughing. Here are my three kids, elf’d….
