Like my oldest girl (she's 15) my middle daughter (she's 13) has a babysitting gig this summer and something's gotta be wrong, somewhere, when your kids start earning more money than, you know, you do.
[tsk..tsk...say no more]
Aaaaanyway, Heather had a couple of bucks burning a hole in her pocket, so she offered to take my youngest daughter (she's 8) to see Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs and, I have to admit, I was sort of jealous.
SPOILER ALERT!
"It was the best one yet, but the poor squirrel STILL didn't get the acorn!!!"
I love the banter between Ray Romano, Dennis Leary and have a secret little crush of John Leguizamo, ever since playing Tybalt in Romeo & Juliet.
[heavy sigh]
Sid the sloth is sort of cute, right?
Aaaaanyway, my friends at Golin Harris sent us Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs for Xbox, last month (yes, they asked first) and, well, my kids have been playing it ever since.
So, since I haven't had a chance to get my hands on it, here are some key features from my 10 year-old son (unedited):
The levels are sort of not very hard and pretty fun
- There's a lot of movement and action
- It's a bit easier to use than other games because other games have a bunch of moves you have to memorize and this one only has one or two
- I like how the storyline is put together and how you sort of have to play all the characters with each different level, even the crazy squirrel
There you go.
Want one?
