Nintendo and the New York Times have joined forces to create a terrific crossword puzzle collection. Fans of the New York Times crosswords will love this game.

New York Times Crosswords for the Nintendo DS has 1000s of puzzles. The puzzles are from the newspaper, and appeared in print between 2004 to 2006. Crossword puzzle lovers will find much to enjoy about this game.

The puzzles are just as challenging as those in the newspaper. The difficulty varies based on the day of the week. Monday and Tuesday puzzles are easiest. For more of a challenge, pick a puzzle from a day later in the week. Sunday puzzles are the toughest.

Take my advice and get a crossword puzzle dictionary. You’ll need it to solve the crossword puzzles in this collection.

Solving the Crosswords

The game is very easy to use. Its pan and zoom feature lets you fit the entire puzzle or just a section of it on the bottom screen. This is good for zooming in on a section if you have a problem viewing small text.

The Nintendo DS split screen is also put to good use. The clues and corresponding boxes appear in large print on the top screen. This is convenient for people who have impaired vision.

Navigating around the puzzle is easy as well. You’re able to jump to different sections of the puzzle using the stylus or the button control pad.

To input your answers, write them with the stylus using the handwriting recognition feature. This option is nice, but it’s a little slow waiting for the letters to register.

If you prefer to type, enter your answers using the onscreen pop-up keyboard. This is usually faster than entering the answers manually.

I bought my kids Mario Kart and we all love it. In fact, we love it so much that it has been one of the more effective discipline tactics used… ever. No Mario Kart is an amazing motivator… at least for kids ages 5-11.

Anyway, I found this short review of the top 3 Wii Racing games. Check it out:

Top 3 Wii Racing Games

Just to follow-up on the most recent post with the Pros and Cons of the Sony PSP, here’s an excellent PSP review by CNET. Check out the video…

The PSP, Sony’s first endeavor into the handheld market, branded as the main contender to the Nintendo DS. Launched originally in Japan at the end of 2004 and in North America and the PAL regions in 2005 the PSP set new technological standards for handhelds.

The PSP featured a new format for games, the UMD disc format which was originally designed to handle both game and movies. One of the PSP’s biggest selling points was it’s ability to act as a portable multimedie device, used not just for games but also for movies and music. Sony has released two further editions of the PSP, the Slim (PSP-2000) and the Brite (PSP-3000) and numerous software updates over the years to increase the PSP’s capabilities. The updates to the PSP have made it now viable to be classed as an all in one portable device featuring the likes of Skype, the ability to stream content from your PS3 and a fully functioning web browser. Also the PSP has full analog control and in most respects is technically superior to the Nintendo DS.

Those technical specifications of the PSP are not to be scoffed at, boasting a 6.7 inch screen, in-built wifi, a USB port and the ability to take memory sticks (Memory stick Duo) as well as supporting multiple music and video formats.

The PSP has been beset by problems from it’s launch with the huge popularity of it’s rival the Nintendo DS and the failure of it’s UMD movie’s which have since been discontinued by Sony another publishers. However, as the years have went by, and with the upgrades to the hardware and software alike, the PSP is now selling nearly as well as DS in most places. One of the main reasons for this resurgence has been the increase in the quality of games, especially over the past year or so. As developers get to grips with the technology of the platform and see the increased sales the games have become much more innovative and generally of a higher quality.

Some of the most notable games have been pseudo-sequels to many popular franchises such as God of War, Grand Theft Auto and nearly all of EA’s long running sports outfits. The PSP has also had some of the most innovative hand held games such as Loco Roco and Patapon as well as great puzzle games like Lumines.

In the past year Sony has also introduced the ability to download original PS1 games at a much an affordable price, and due to the technical aspects of the PSP these, in some respects run better than on the original system.

One other interesting thing which has came to the PSP is a vast community. These bedroom coders have created new applications and sometimes even new games for the PSP and this is now seen as one of the unspoken selling points of the handheld. Sony however have forever been trying to stop this movement by continuously patching and reinforcing it’s security protocols via the PSP software update program.

The PSP has came along way from where it was at launch with many of it’s problems sorted out, and with much better support from third party developers who provide the main source of gaming content for the system. With the numerous updates and hardware changes the PSP has certainly shown itself to be a strong platform which will likely continue to be developed for the foreseeable future.

The Sony PlayStation 3 is arguably the most powerful home console ever made and as expected the games at the top end of the scale have not disappointed. With beautiful full HD graphics, compelling stories and some unique experiences, the PS3 has firmly staked it’s place in history as one of the best consoles of all time.

One of the most important and most anticipated game on the PS3 was the ever popular franchise Metal Gear Solid. In it’s fourth iteration on the PS3, the game had huge demand before any details were released and it’s large fan-base were clamoring for information. Released worldwide in June 2008 to critical acclaim the game became the PS3s best selling game in a few short weeks of release.

Metal Gear Solid is a stealth-based action game, heavy on cut scene and a twisting turning plot. It was these last two points which were expanded upon in MGS4, with cut scenes at some points running to over an hour at times and the plot being even more extravagant than previous games. With some of the best graphics ever seen on a home console and a lengthy campaign to boot, head developer Hideo Kojima stated that they nearly ran out of space on the PS3s huge blue ray discs which themselves total up to 50gbs each. However, when playing the game and being immersed in the story and those cut scenes, you can see why.

To all intents and purposes the game lived up the fans and critics high expectations, quickly being denoted as the best of the Metal Gear series and as a must buy for any self respecting PS3 owner.

A game which is completely at the opposite end of the scale from MGS4 is that of Pixel Junk Eden, a game available only on the Playstation Network. A game of simple graphics and gameplay but in some ways more addictive and ultimately satisfying than it’s “on disc”, big budget cousins. In the game players control a small creature called a Grimp who using a seris of jumping and swinging skills must collect objects called “spectra”, essentially pollen to grow flowers from seeds dotted around each garden or level. The game is played on a two dimensional plane and each level is simple yet beautiful in it’s art direction, each garden becoming more colorful as more flowers are grown.

The game shows how amazing simple and affordable games can be, and also what a great delivery system the PSN and its Xbox 360 and Wii equivalents can be for games like this.

One game on the PS3 has shown how to tell a compelling and unique story the best, and that game is BioShock. Set in the underwater city of Rapture, you play a airplane crash victim who finds his way there out of sheer luck, or in some cases you would call it misfortune. As the game progresses you are led through different areas of rapture by a distant voice on your radio located somewhere else in Rapture and through logs picked up along the way with chilling stories of what happened in the now derelict city.

One of the most striking things about BioShock is it’s amazing art direction. With a 1950s art deco look, the world of Rapture is stunning and at the same time incredibly creepy and atmospheric, and that’s before you meet any enemies. Most of the “bad guys” in BioShock are deformed or mutated citizens of the once glorious habitat under the sea, but your main and most dangerous foes are those of the “Big Daddies”. The game features a substance called ADAM which is in most cases gained from either rescuing or killing creatures called “Little Sisters”, who are protected by the near indestructible “Big Daddies”.

BioShock is a game of twists and turns which will keep you on your toes all the way to the end, and the PS3 edition is set to have new downloadable content released to further the enjoyment of the game. Careful though… it’s rated M for Mature.

My mom just brought home Mario Kart for the Nintendo Wii last night. I was just wondering if more that two people can play at once on Mario Kart. Please don’t answer unless you are 100% sure that you’re right.
