If you or one of your children has an iPod touch or an iPad, you have probably heard about Fruit Ninja. It is an app for the iPad or iPod touch and has amazing reviews. I, for one, love the game! It is very fun and exciting. Fruit Ninja is a game where you slice fruit.
There are different levels within the game with different things that you have to do. For starters, there is Classic mode where there is no time limit. Slice as many fruits as you can, but don't let any drop and don't hit any bombs.

Buck and the Coin of Destiny
by Ronald A. Rowe December 1st, 2010 | Apple, Software, Video Games
Buck and the Coin of Destiny may just be the best side-scrolling adventure game that you can buy for less than a dollar (OK, one cent less, but still less). Buck, the little bunny who is semi-famous from the commercials for Game Stop, stars in an adventure of his very own as he goes in search of the Coin of Destiny.
The story mode is easy. Really easy. Beat it in one sitting easy. Arcade mode is much harder. All the obstacles and enemies are the same, but you start with far less life energy than in story mode.

Kinect

I honestly believe that Kinect is going to be Microsoft's claim to fame. Kinect for Xbox 360 allows for a controller-free gaming experience--pretty cool huh? What this means is that you can control the games with natural movements, spoken commands, or presented objects and images. How does it do it? The basic setup of the system is a webcam-based machine. However, I have a feeling that it is a whole lot more complicated than that.
The Kinect system is a horizontal bar that is connected to a small base with a motorized pivot. It uses an "RGB camera, depth sensor,

Book Readers

So much has been made of Amazon’s Kindle. The brand name has already become synonymous with the product, like Q-Tips, Kleenex, and iPod. And much of the hoopla is well deserved. The Kindle was a quantum leap forward in technology, accessibility, and user-friendliness.
But that was then; this is now. With the introduction of more and more Kindle clones on the market, is the Kindle worth the premium price?
Sometimes, the original really is better than those that follow. It’s tough to argue that any portable music device that has followed the iPod can match the

Google Pac-Man
by Bea June 4th, 2010 | Computers, Cyber Culture, Video Games
You probably saw when Google had Pac-Man on their homepage in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the game. Okay, so you saw it; did you play it too? I thankfully did not get too invested in the game and probably played for about 10 seconds before my boss rounded the corner, but some people played for hours. Do you know how much time was "wasted" due to this game last week?
Five million hours-- that's right, five million. This, of course, is an estimate from companies that use a time-tracking software. This software, used at companies such as Rescue
