Yeah the Skylanders have always had good designs and names.  The toys just scream "play with me!"

When my brother Jeff was very little, he was playing one of my arcade classic collections, this one put out by Konami.  He was playing a game called Circus Charlie.  You were a circus clown and had to clear 2-D obstacles with a circus theme (tightrope, trampolines, etc.).  One of them you had to ride a show horse and jump over obstacles.  This was the worst drawn horse I've seen in a video game.  It looked like a cross between a pinata and a My Little Pony.  You could make it go faster, but the running animation looked ridiculous at high speeds.  So while I was watching him and he did that, I said, "Whoa, now he's a Turbo Horse."  He laughed so hard and was rolling on the floor!  So from them on, any horse in a video game that we play is named Turbo Horse.

Yeah I don't think I got any of the water vehicles in Superchargers.

Can you name your horses?  Anytime you get a horse in a video game and can name it, I always name it Turbo Horse.  There's a story behind that.  Have I told it to you before?

Yay you got DuckTales Remastered!

I got a bunch of emails about GRIS.  Guess they really wanted me to review it.

Well I have the Prof. Layton movie on DVD and it has puzzles in it for you to solve.

You, too!  Thanks for reading!

I can't think of too many submarine games.  Nintendo had Steel Diver on the 3DS.  There was an arcade shooter called In the Hunt.  And I can't remember if Seaquest on the 2600 had subs or scuba divers.

I liked the Spyro games on the PSOne.  Maybe not enough to get the new collection right away.  Spyro reminds me of Figment from EPCOT Center.  In the original game, the same guy who did the voice of the Taco Bell dog also did Spyro's voice.

I like the characters, themes, and stories of the Prof. Layton games, but many of the puzzles are like math story word problems like in your high school math book.  And I hated math in school so I definitely don't want to play a game about it.

Did you know there is a Prof. Layton cartoon anime movie?  It's really good and has puzzles in it for you to solve as well.  And the movie has a Miyazaki feel to it.

Did you know there was a 3DS game called Prof. Layton vs. Phoenix Wright?  That was really good, too.  If you like the Prof. Layton games, you may want to give the Phoenix Wright games a play.  I love those games and the ones on the DS are some of my favorite games for the system.
