And here is todays batch of games! Enjoy. Also even though I've fallen behind commenting and replying I plan to go on a marathon of commenting and replies this weekend.

I reviewed Order Up! a while ago and it's still a pretty decent budget title Cooking Simulator mixed with a Restaurant Operation Simulator. You'll cook, buy menu items, get secret ingredients, and hire wacky staff. It's pretty fun too, but there's no multiplayer option

Pajama Sam Don't Fear The Dark is a PC port of the Pajama Sam series. It's a kids style point and click adventure along the lines of Spy Fox or Freddie Fish. Unlike the PC version where items get mixed depending on what you do, th overall adventure is predetermined as to where your missing socks are as well as Sam's superhero items. It's a fun game for kids though. My nephews enjoyed it a lot.

Phantom Brave: We Meet Again is a upgraded port of the original Phantom Brave for the PS2. I've already talked in lengthy detail about the game in my bargain bin buys, but it's a solid strategy rpg. You can find yourself sinking hundreds of hours into this cult classic.

Pikmin 2 is the last of the new play control games that I own and once again the control style is really enjoyable.  Not only did Pikmin 2 fix the 28 day cycle you have, but this game fixes some of the odd control issues you may have had as you point your pikmin and march them to do your bidding. A terrific sequel for sure

Prince of Persia: Rival Swords and a wii port of Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones. It's a pretty fun game overall. If you enjoyed two thrones you'll enjoy this game just as well. The controls can be spotty and the motion controls can be a pain, but they generally work for the most part.

In speaking of sequels, Project Zero 2: Wii Edition, (aka Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly) was sadly not released in America... though you can still play the PS2 classic. I loved this sequel when I played it back on the PS2 and it's terrific here. The Wii Edition has everything that the director's cut had and features some new costumes and upgraded visuals.Even if you don't care for the british va's it's actually well done.

Punch Out!! is a sequel that was 15 years removed from it's previous entry in Super Punch Out back on the SNES. So how is Little Mac's come back? It's an absolute blast! You'll fight various, hilarious contenders you know and love fom the classic punch out game and a few surprise returns from super punch out.. The first time you play is a lot like the classic punch out games and they have similar weaknesses such as King Hippos stomach or Bald Bull's bull charge knockdown. The real fun comes in the form of title defense mode where the boxers are tougher and harder. There are also challenges and Little Mac's last stand which allows you to take on a surprise newcomer in Donkey Kong should you make it through.

I went into detail about Rabbids Go Home and it's insane shopping cart adventure experience. As the Rabbids you'll knock everything out and take it whether it the clothes off people's backs or street posts. It's pretty short, but it's really fun in short spurts.

Raving Rabbids Travel in Time is actually the 4th mini game series in the Raving Rabbids titles. It includes a bunch of mini games, though most are pretty enjoyable the series really had dry spell with this entry and after 3 previous entries...well it's not as enjoyable.

Rayman Origins brought Rayman back to his platforming roots. In a new and graphically detailed adventure Rayman was back and it was a heck of a lot of fun. With multiplayer it was even crazier, allowing you to race your friends to the goal and beat em up along the way just so you could claim first place.

Rayman Ravig Rabbids, 2, TV Party- Well Rayman Raving Rabbids brought the series to a mini game party frenzy. At the time the Rabbids were new, unique, and just downright silly. The 70 mini games weren't all winners, but it was wacky fun. The sequel is generally received as being less than that of the first, though it does have quite a few things you can enjoy as well. With TV Party you had different tv and movie style motifs and while it's better than 2...it's not as fun as the first entry.

The last entry for today is  Real Hroes Firefighter. It's a relatively average game, ranging on decent. I bought it just to support the cause that proceeds would benefit firefighters and since my brother is a volunteer firefighter I praise those thatput themselves on the line to fight fires. The controls are alright and work fairly decently. Even the axe movements and other such things are pretty cool. While it's fairly budget, it was pretty enjoyable to play.
