So my kids are little gamers. I know TV bad, computer games bad for young children. Moving past that now. Both my kids love computer games which isn’t surprising considering their parents. Desmond adores our XBOX360 and is quite good with the controller now, he is actually better at playing Toy Story 3 then I am now. He also finally figured out how to use the mouse on the kid computer so he will open up Starfall, Reading Eggs, Playhouse Disney or PBS Kid website and play games there by himself or to entertain Eloise. Which is kind of nice. I should probably go ahead and find the controllers for the Wii to see how he does with it, since there are some games on it we have that I think he would quite like.

Anyways back to Lego Rockband. Desmond has always been a fan of the Rockband game, and we got the lego version which is nice since it has a no fail super easy mode. So here are the two small ones a few weeks ago both playing along and watching as DH played. I had a picture of Eloise rocking on the drums too, but it didn’t come out right. Anyways here are the cute ones.

Well Vanguard released today, I wasn’t planning on getting it, but I decided to check it out and really like it so I now am. Went to Best Buy early this afternoon and they haven’t received their shipment. Okay fine being a day or two late with a single player game not a huge deal, but with an MMORPG is a pain in ass. Sigh, oh well we’ll go to EB games this evening instead who will have it, still a pain though.

On another note I looked at the Vista display, looked at the requirements for running it, laughed (even though I surpass them) and continued on my way since I wasn’t planning to upgrading anytime soon anyways.

Okay so I admit it I am a computer game player. I play a ton of computer games, I love computer games. One of the first computer games I remember playing is Civilization. I remember fighting with my dad for the computer so I could play it instead of him. It was one of my favorite games. So of course I bought civ2, and civ3. Well civ4 is coming out next week on the 25th, in honor of my Mom’s birthday or at least on the same date. And once again I will be buying it. They have improved a ton of stuff between the games and added a lot of new and interesting concepts like religion. They have also removed some stuff, but that is what happens.

So I have spent the last two days drooling over pictures at the official site and some of the sites that have previews up. So I thought I would share two of the nice pictures I found. Let me repeat again I love this game in all its past verisions so I shall love this new verision too that comes out tuesday!
