• 7 Days of Wii Games for Kids: Hasbro Family Game Night

  I love, and I mean LOVE a family game night. And what kind of games do I like best? The classics. Hasbro’s Family Game Night for the Nintendo Wii by Electronic Arts includes old school standards like Connect 4, Boggle, Yahtzee, Sorry, Sorry Sliders and Battleship all with a familiar host…Mr. Potato Head.  And these aren’t just the standard versions you know and love...

• Jive Pod: Like Simon on Steroids

  I'm dating myself here, but I have many fond memories of Simon, the primitive electronic game that had you wildly following lighted musical pads in an effort to keep up with their bleeps and bloops. Hasbro's Jive Pod is sort of like that -- only the bleeps and bloops have been replaced by beats, breaks, booms, bangs and whatever other sounds you can pile into the thing. Read More...

• Music on the Half Shell

  Who knew you could listen to rap music and think "awwww, that's so cute?" OK, I probably shouldn't have my iPod tuned to Biggie when it's plugged into my daughter's iTurtle, but come on. Who doesn't want to see a turtle dance? Read More...

• Toy Fair 2009: Uno Moo

  At first, I thought this was a cool Japanese toy, but it's a new Uno game for preschoolers by Hasbro. Uno Moo plays the same as the regular Uno game, but instead of cards you play with cows!

• Indoor Fun: Gator Golf

  Outside of the orange (?) alligator, Playskool's new edition of Gator Golf should be familiar to those of us who remember the original version's commercial from our pre-kid days. "What could be greater than playing a game of golf with a gator?" went the old jingle, and this game should have new-school kiddoes singing a similar tune. Read More...

• Star Baby: How Does Gwyneth Paltrow’s Moses Play?

  When I think of a Moses playing, I think of him shuffling the ten-commandments or playing hide and seek in the sand dunes of Egypt.

• 7 Days of Video Games: Operation Mania

  Despite all the thematic variations on Hasbro's classic board game Operation, the thing plays pretty much the same no matter whether you're pulling out Cavity Sam's breadbasket or going to work on SpongeBob, Spider-Man or Homer. But with Electronic Arts' upcoming Operation Mania video game, you also get a full-blown storyline and a slew of new challenges to match. Read More...

• Squawkers McCaw Takes DigitalLife Best in Show; Holiday Domination Ensured
