This week, the highly anticipated film Marvel's The Avengers opens in theaters nationwide! My father just loved The Incredible Hulk and as a child, I often sat with him, enthralled with this ginormous creature possessing superhuman strength (did you know this was a television series?).
To celebrate the release, Walmart just released a free app, that offers fans a n... Read More »

The video game series was first introduced 14 years ago, and Nintendo recently released Pokémon Black Version and Pokémon White Version Video Games for the DS.

I danced my way through high school, college, and young adulthood. While I still retain my love for dancing, I gave up late nights out when I started dating my husband (who ironically does not share my love for dance). These days, I get my dance on at home!
A little over a year ago, Ubisoft, a leader in the gaming and interactive entertainment industry, release... Read More »

You may have guessed that I'm a bit of a health nut. Before I had kids, I'd run several times a week. These days, while I'm not as active as I should be, I still try to get in regular exercise by walking with the kids or dancing on the Wii. I also strive to eat a healthy diet by avoiding excess salt, trans fats, cholesterol, and other artificial ingredients. D... Read More »

If you can believe it, I had never played an Xbox game until earlier this year when Kinect was still in development. On November 4th, Xbox will launch it's innovative controller-free gaming system.

Gaming has changed so much since I conquered all three Super Mario Bros. games on NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). Adults can get fit while children learn to count on the same gaming system. Gaming has only recently been accepted as an educational method and traditional gaming systems are targeted towards young children.
Earlier this week, Warner Bros. Inte... Read More »

Last night I had the privilege of attending the World Premiere of Kinect for Xbox 360 (formerly titled Project Natal).

The event was technology-free, so I don't have pictures or vid... Read More »

I have to admit that I am a total gamer. I used to carry a Game Boy with me when I was a child and I conquered the entire Super Mario Bros. trio. I haven't had a lot of experience with gaming consoles apart from Nintendo's. But I'm always open to new systems, games, and overall gaming technology (which is why you'll see me at E3 this year).
A few weeks ago, I... Read More »

If you've followed my blog, then you know that I used the Wii Fit to lose the baby weight before I got pregnant with our baby girl. In fact, I now realize that those months when I felt like I wasn't making any progress, were due to the fact that my body was creati... Read More »
