In this economic age, it seems that knowing what to do with money is critical to financial security. The problem is most don’t know how to make money work for them. Robert Kiyosaki developed a board game called Cashflow to help people understand basic concepts of money. Now, if you play this game, don’t run out and think you can rake in millions. This is just designed to be an eye-opening tool to the physics of money.

For the football player who wants to control the latest version their favorite team, the latest iteration of Madden has hit stores. I’ve played various versions since the series started on the Super Nintendo in the early 1990s. I figure if I only play the game every few years, there are enough changes to evaluate and try.

I mentioned earlier that I played “Red Dead Redemption.” I am an adult who does play video games as a hobby, and I have been looking for a game to give me the experience of living in the vast open Old West. This is the game that does it. Nobody does open world games better than Rockstar and this one is massive. There are a lot of things to do in addition to the story missions, plus I enjoy just getting on my horse and riding around to look at the scenery. It’s that close to the real thing.

6 Dutch gamers set a world record by playing Rockstar’s “Red Dead Redemption” for 50 hours straight. First off, I can’t imagine playing non-stop with no sleep for more than 24 hours, let alone 50 hours. Second, I have played “Red Dead” and find it to be tremendously exciting in the single player story mode. I hope that’s how they did it. If they did multiplayer, that would make for a long, long session.

OK, I’ll get off this whole board game thing after this. I had a dungeons and dragons style board game from Milton Bradley called Hero Quest. It used a pre-defined board and the quest book used cardboard cutouts to simulate rooms, furniture, etc. I had a group of three friends where we’d get together on a Friday afternoon, order a Bigfoot pizza from Pizza Hut and play until well into the evening. It was some good times right there.

Finding out about that oil rig game got me to thinking about board games. I’ve always found board games to be very fun as long as the experience is different every time you play. Board games like Sorry! or even Monopoly feel the same no matter how many times you play them. I love games like Risk, or Axis and Allies, where the setup is the same but the outcome is completely different based on who’s playing and what kind of mood they’re in. I miss doing stuff like that.

Mad, but Merry Tea Party, or Sad, Sad Remake?
Alice in Wonderland is a video game based off the recently hit film by Tim Burton. The story takes us several years after Alice first went down the rabbit hole and found herself in Wonderland. Things have changed, and none for the better….
Following closely to the film, the game takes us through the new Wonderland where we must face off with the many minions of the Red Queen, the Jabberwocky, and the Red Queen herself. Throughout the game, we come across many familiar and new characters that will join in on the quest to save Wonderland or provide vital information and clues to keep the story flowing.
