With school and karate lessons, my little gamer boy Michael has not had a lot of time to play video games the last few months. He happily made up for the lost time this last week while he has been sick during school break. Besides the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1-4<\/a> game which he received for Christmas from an aunt, he has also been playing a few Wii games from Disney Interactive Studios<\/a> that I was sent to review after a Disney Holiday event. Of course, Michael\u2019s adoring little brother Sean is right at his side. Overall, Epic Mickey is the current favorite in our home.<\/p>\n

Disney Epic Mickey<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Using past and present iconic Mickeys, this game is a hit. At the Disney event, I literally had to pull Michael away from the game. Although the game is rated \u201cE\u201d, my initial concern (from the media images) was that the game would be too \u201cdark\u201d for young kids. Fortunately, it is not. The kids and my husband all enjoyed it. Michael\u2019s summary: \u201cI like it because Epic Mickey goes to all of these places. He goes through portals to get there and he meets bad guys and fights them with his brush. He erases the bad guys or makes them his friend by using blue paint and then they will fight on Mickey\u2019s team. Also, Oswald is Mickey\u2019s half brother.\u201d Sean: \u201cI like it because the brush takes paint out.\u201d Oh well, that\u2019s what impressed a 6 and 3 year old\u2026 <\/p>\n

Cars Toon: Mater\u2019s Tall Tales<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

While Epic Mickey was Michael\u2019s favorite, Mater\u2019s Tall Tales was Sean\u2019s top pick. This game is probably better for the very youngest gamers. (It wasn\u2019t challenging enough for Michael who had \u201cno comment\u201d regarding this game.) Sean\u2019s input:\u201dI like Mater\u2019s Tall Tales because I like doing his adventures.\u201d Okay\u2026 In any event, this car game is based on Disney\/Pixar\u2019s \u201cCar Toons\u201d. It is an easy, fun family game (up to four players can compete to be the family daredevil). <\/p>\n

Disney Tangled<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Around Thanksgiving, Reggie treated the boys to see Tangled<\/em> in the movie theater while I spent time with my mom. They all loved it. (I still need to go and see it!) So, it is no small wonder that they really like this video game that is inspired by the movie. Michael\u2019s take: \u201cIt\u2019s good. They have all of these superpowers. Flynn Rider has a sword. Rapunzel has magic hair. People should get it because it\u2019s a cool game.\u201d I played the game with Michael once. It was funny to me that he wanted to be the girl, because she was leading the way. Michael was being a bit impatient as he was telling me how to follow his lead while we were playing. \u201cYou\u2019re a bossy girl!\u201d Sean exclaimed. I giggled as I agreed\u2026he was<\/strong>! In any event, this was another fun, family pick.<\/p>\n

Did your kids get any video games during the holiday season? If so, what were their favorites?<\/em>
