I got an email from my daughter’s coach, the team is going to start having batting practices again beginning Monday and that means regular practices aren’t far behind. Then will be games and tournaments and we’ll be in for the full blown season. We’ve all had the last few weeks off and it’s felt really good. Funny thing though, softball is never out of our house because we’ve discovered that we can play online. Well, it’s not softball, but baseball and it is just as fun!
To keep us busy, we’ve discovered ActionAllStars.com, an online gaming site that has partnered with MLB.com and NBA.com to bring baseball and basketball right to our computer screens. It’s a really cool site and the first thing you do is create your player. The player you see is my daughter’s creation and she named it Turtlez.The Action AllStars website is alot of fun. When you create your action character you get to choose between quite a few hairstyles, some for boys, some for girls and different hair colors. It’s hard to see, but Turtlez does have a ponytail! I think they could’ve come up with a little more feminine sports attire, like maybe a tank top or something to make the character look like a girl, but then, that’s just my opinion.
The games are fun and I can so see us becoming addicted to this game which might actually come in handy during the off season. Of course, the basketball game is great too and will help keep us all busy on those rainy days when we can’t use the hoop out in the driveway.
Seriously, if you enjoy sports and you enjoy online games, be sure to check out ActionAllStars.com and be sure to keep you eye out for Turtlez!
We love playing games in our family and we do everything from the typical board game to electronic games. We were recently introduced to a new DVD game called Banzai and it’s hysterical. Here’s a screenshot of my Tako-gatchi.
Screenlife games recently introduced Banzai which is a great family game or a great game for a party. Everything you need to play comes in the box. The goal is to win all the sushi, whoever has the most sushi at the end of the game is the winner. Don’t worry, it’s not played with real sushi so you don’t have to get all grossed out!
Each player starts with 25 sushi which are color coded to match your sushi bowl, and a pair of chopsticks. The Shogun (person in charge of the DVD remote) starts the DVD which will show a stunt of some kind. The players then have 15 seconds to use their chopsticks and race to place sushi into the betting bowl. Betting ends at the sound of the gong. If you guess the outcome of the stunt correctly, you then when all the sushi in the betting bowl. Pretty simple, if you’re good with chopsticks! The game continues until one player has all the sushi and presses the “winner” button on the DVD remote. In a nutshell, here’s how it works. First, you watch a stunt. Second, you bet on how the outcome of the stunt. Finally, you win sushi.
This is a fast paced, hilariously fun game for the entire family. The game is available for purchase and download online and it even has its own My Space page.
Take a look at this video for more insight into how this game is played.
