Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony have pulled back some of the digital veil regarding their plans for games and next gen consoles. Now that I’ve had time to digest what was shown at the pressers, I felt like posting some of my opinions. This isn’t a review from what was discussed; just some of my opinions up to this point.

I never anticipated the day would come when I fell asleep while playing a Dead Space game. Long week at work, possibly? Maybe the daily challenges of fatherhood are starting to catch up? Or, am I just bored by the lack of excitement in Dead Space 3?

OK so I’m a big geek. I know, I’m shocking you guys…anyway its true. I love toys and gadgets. Everything from action figures to xboxes and iPads. These are my big kid toys.

Now I’ve gone up another step and have actually bought a Nest? Don’t know what a Nest is? It’s a learning thermostat. It was designed by one of the original iPhone designers. He realized that there was a gap in the thermostat world and decided to fill it.

Learning is the key word here because it learns what you do. All you have to do is turn the dial and an LCD display shows you the temperature you want. It turns just like the old dial thermostats. As you dial in your temp, it starts realizing your patterns. It knows when you come home from work and turn up the heat, it knows when you go to bed and turns down the heat. It learns you. It has a motion sensor and if you don’t walk by it in a few hours it turns the heat down.

A few years ago I met the developers of Corpse Toss at New York Comic Con. They were a great group of guys and I really enjoyed their game. They gave me a heads-up of their new offering and I have been enjoying it.

The Legend of Fat Ninja is a physics based game in the same genre as Angry Birds. You are a Ninja attacking other Ninjas in an attempt to steal their recipes.

Much like Angry birds you slingshot your Ninja. Then he bounces off of objects while you direct him to the assassins coming to you. Sounds simple but it’s not easy. Its a complex and rewarding game that can’t be beaten easily. If it has a flaw, that’s the one. Its hard. Angry Birds has many levels and you can beat them relatively easily even if 3 starring them can be extremely difficult. Legend of Fat Ninja has many fewer levels but it takes much longer to clear them.

Overall I greatly enjoyed it and recommend you give it a look. If you do, tell us what you thought of it.

Its available for Android and iOS and now has a lite version up on the Amazon App Store.
