#ABMChristmas Twitter Party Giveaway #7
(Giveaway Now Closed - Congrats to @kris10chumley)

Enjoy some awesome Holiday Games from EA Play this season. These recently released EA Play games are sure to be on most kids letters to Santa.

NERF 2: “N-Strike” Elite features classic rail shooter gameplay and equips players with a cache of fresh features and comes bundled with a newly designed blue NERF SWITCH SHOT EX-3 blaster and attachable red reveal decoder lens that will give players the ability to detect enemy weak spots, solve puzzles and decode secret missions as they blast their way to victory.

Ok, this game is too cool! I played this over the weekend and we just couldn't get enough of it. It comes complete with a Nerf Dart Shooter and 3 darts for In Real Life play, you can take the dart launcher out and slide in your Wii remote, then use the same gun for playing the video game. It also comes with a 'Red Reveal Tech' that allows you to find hidden messages, read codes and find your enemies weak spots! The game play and graphics are awesome! You can play as one of Four Characters, battling some pretty darn tough robots on your mission to hunt down "Bob" and shut him down. Though I wasn't able to get very far in the game myself, DH worked his way through most of it, and he can't wait to get home from work today to try and beat the game. (He was up pretty late full of adrenaline)

Rated E 10+

LITTLEST PET SHOP FRIENDS

Offering co-operative play and delightful new graphics, LITTLEST PET SHOP FRIENDS takes girls and their friends on fun quests such as delivering party invitations, serving up cake and ice cream and gathering party decorations, all in preparation for the biggest LITTLEST PET SHOP party ever!

This game is totally girly, and way too much fun! If you have a little girl who loves to party plan and play with her best girl friends this game is completely for her. In this game you get to plan the Party Of The Year! Your kids can deliver invitations to other characters, Design accessories and style your pets. Collect new pets and personalities, and play tons of games. This game is sure to keep your girls occupied and happy. I had fun playing this game, I found it a lot of fun to design accessories and pretty up my pets. DS and DH were completely uninterested though - Men. Can't appreciate a good game for girls. This can be played single player or 2 player and if I had a girl I'd probably have to buy her her own Wii just to play it. (No way the boys would leave her alone!) Great on both Wii and DS, it's sure to be a hit with the girls!!

SimAnimals Africa
With its brand new art style, SimAnimals Africa takes players on an adventure across jungles, deserts, savannas, river deltas and more! All new animals, each with their own unique skill, are ready to play like never before. Kicking zebras, rock-breaking rhinos and lions that excel at hunting will assist players in keeping the environment happy and unlocking new areas, animals, and special items. New mini-games give players more ways to interact with the animals.

This is a game that my little guy LOVED! He's a huge fan of Animal Games and SimAnimals Africa suited him to a tee! There are lots of animals to play and you get to tame wild animals. You can unlock items, animals and levels by solving challenges (I had to help him out on a few of those) What I found to be really neat is that ou can trade animals with your friends when you play in co-op mode. Definitely a great game for the kids, suitable for both boys and girls!

HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT 2

Featuring OPERATION, JENGA, BOP-IT, PICTUREKA, and CONNECT 4X4, HASBRO FAMILY GAME NIGHT 2 offers traditional and new modes to play these Hasbro favorites. MR. POTATO HEAD returns as master of ceremonies and your host in a brand-new “Game Show” mode which transports players to a live television game show studio complete with an audience and “Challenge Wheel.”

I really couldn't wait to try out this game! I'm a huge fan of Mr. Potato Head and he is quite the master of ceremonies. I wasn't left disappointed when I tried this out either. I was very happy with the way the games were played, very similar to playing them In Real Life - Old School Style, but what I really liked was when we played it like a TV game show! Complete with an audience and everything! My favorite is Connect 4, I've always loved that game and found it to be just as good digital style as it is made out of plastic, DH's Fav - Jenga Jenga J J J Jenga. (Sorry, couldn't help myself - I know you'll all be singing that in your heads now!)

Though DS found this just a little on the harder side (mainly because he hasn't played the games in real life - well, he's play J J J Jenga) we were still able to walk him through it, and he picked it up pretty quickly. He seems to like Pictureka! the best. And I'm thinking I may get him the board game as well.
