![]() The Price is Right 2010 Edition $19.99 I'm a lifelong fan of The Price is Right, so I was very excited to get my hands on a copy of the 2010 edition of the home game. I own the previous edition, which is fun. However, its reply value was hampered by its selection of only 16 games. Another problem with the previous edition is that the same prizes reappear quite frequently, which lessens the suspense and makes the games too easy after awhile. The 2010 edition solves both of those problems, increasing the number of games to 30 and greatly expanding the number and variety of prizes. Replay value is now very good. Most of the games transfer smoothly from the television show to the computer/gaming console. Favorites like 3 Strikes, Grocery Game, and Plinko do a good job of simulating the studio experience, with screaming crowds, bright colors, and classic Price is Right music cues. The 2010 edition offers slightly upgraded graphics, the option to create avatars, and the ability to "unlock" games after completing certain challenges. Unlocking pricing games gives you access to classic Price is Right videos, new wardrobe choices for your avatar, and allows you to play the game whenever you want without having to earn your way up on stage. Not too many quibbles. There still could be more prizes, particularly in the showcase, where prizes still repeat too much. I'm greedy and would like even more pricing games. And, as a previous reviewer said, some of the grocery item descriptions are obviously product placement ads and become annoying after awhile. Overall, good job. For fans of The Price is Right, it's a fun trip down memory lane and provides a chance to "come on down" to experience some of the action and excitement of the real show. ![]() WWE: Bragging Rights 2009 $24.95 The first ever bragging rights event was pretty good. Thanks for reading and please comment. Intercontinental champion vs. United States champion The miz(us) vs. John morrison(IC) This match is okay. Of course some highflying moves from morrison. This match really shouldn't have been on the card. But over all good match. Sad thing is the miz won with some dirty tricks(of course). Also, raw leading the way 1/0 match rating:6/10 3-on-3 smackdown vs. raw divas tag match Terrible match here. this six diva match stunk. when i watched the highlights of this match, i almost cried. This match shouldn't have been on the card. But, with the smackdown team winning, they evened up the score to 1/1. match rating:3/10 Fatal four way for the world heavyweight championship Undertaker(C)vs. batista vs. rey mysterio vs. cm punk This match is pretty good. Some nice moves by mysterio and punk. But i think batista and undertaker had the best battle with each other during the match. I thought batista was going to become to become world heavyweight champion when he batista bombed taker. but mysterio broke it up. Also, great moment when batista got tombstoned for taker to pick up the win. match rating:8/10 I think the after math of this match went above the PG rating when batista said, "im going to rip your head off" Then beat the heck out of rey. 7-0n-7 battle of the brands tag team match team raw vs. team smackdown This match is definatly worth watching. Great tag team matchup here. This match was a finisher fest. Pretty much everybody got their finisher. Great moment in the match when michaels got dominated for a while and then got the tag to the game. Once the game got in, he cleared the house. Sucky ending when kingston hit the trouble in paradise, hart dinesty broke it up, and when he was on the top rope, big show hit the chokeslam and knocked out the game and jericho got the pin for smackdown to be the better show than raw. 60 minutes anything goes iorn man match-wwe championship(if cena loses, he must leave raw forever) John Cena vs. Randy Orton(C) This match is the best and most brutal iorn man match i have ever seen. This has everything. Pyro, tables, chairs, steps, and brutality. Cena started off good by winning the first fall just less than four minuets in the match. Once the match went outside the ring, it got brutal. When cena and orton went up around the stage area, cena got thrown into the lights and they went off on him. Then orton got the pin. Orton turned and started playing with the pyro and then he put cena on the stage and let the pyro go off on him. When cena got more strength, he gave orton a atitude adjustment through the announce table. Once he got the pin, he waited the thirty seconds and got the pin again. Then once it got evened up again, cena got orton in the stf for about 49 seconds until he tapped out with 4 seconds left in the match. Now, the new wwe champion and still on raw, John cena. match rating:10/10 This was a pretty solid ppv. I wish that batista wouldn't have beat the crap out of mysterio. I would also suggest this to your wwe collection. ![]() Kreg KHC-RAC Right Angle Clamp $27.99 There are a lot of vise type camps you can get on the cheap and these DO NOT fall into that category but you get what you pay for and these are top notch! They quality is excellent! How ever these are only really useful with pocket joining as the one side is just a post that fits nicely into the hole made when doing pocket joints. It can be used with other things but the one side is only about 5/16" diameter so keep that in mind. With that said, when using them for pocket joining they are great at! Not only do they serve practically as a second set of hands but unlike other clams they attach exactly where you want them and hold exactly they way you want. ![]() Left Center Right Dice Game $9.99 We have a group of about 12-16 ladies in our neighborhood that meet once a month just to have a reason to get together. We eat appetizers, have a few drinks, then play either LCR or bunco, although lately everyone prefers this game to bunco. We start with $4 each instead of the chips and the winner of the round wins all the cash. We usually play 3 rounds. It's a lot of fun for a big group of people and when you are chatting, it's a no-brainer kind of game that's lots of fun. Highly recommend this game. |
