Puzzler World Puzzler World For Nintendo DS Review and Giveaway!I don’t spend a lot of time on the video games systems. I’m not the least bit interested in slaying a dragon or collecting the most golden coins. But when Puzzler World for Nintendo DS arrived in my mailbox things changed. I’m having a blast keeping my mind fresh.

Puzzler World is actually brought to us by Atari which I thought was kind of cool in a throwback sort of way. The game includes a slew of different types of puzzles including favorites such as Crosswords, Sodoku, Spot the Difference and my favorite Silhouette. Puzzler World is rated E for Everyone but at this time my 5 year old is a bit too young. He can grasp a few of the easier puzzles and he likes to practice his handwriting (a special feature) but otherwise Mommy and Daddy enjoy keeping this game to themselves.

As I mentioned above I really enjoy Silhouette. In this game you have to tap only the shapes with a dot inside in order to create an entire picture. This is harder than it sounds because of the way the shapes are fit together. I have also enjoyed the Spot the Difference game. I seem to always miss one thing at the end that I can not find no matter how hard I try. Luckily the games include a Hint button. You earn coins throughout the game (uh oh, earning the most Golden coins) that you can then use to buy hints.

My husband is sitting next to me as I type this review playing a Crossword game. He is more drawn in by the logics games such as Crosswords and Sodoku. While he is studying for his upcoming exam he will take breaks and play Puzzler World to have fun but also keep his mind sharp.

Two Wrong Shoes e1267321996233 300x224 A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Verizon Wireless! Palm Pre Plus Review!I am currently reviewing the Verizon Wireless Palm Pre Plus cellular phone. So far this phone is far cooler than I could ever be. It’s very technologically filled. You can do anything and everything with this phone and I plan on sharing all these features with you over the next month. But for now I will share with you one of those stories where something that could only happen to me, of course did.

Late last night I  drove to my local Verizon Wireless corporate store which was a good 30 minutes away. I was a bit hurried as it was already close to 8:00 PM and I knew it would take a good hour at the store. I didn’t pay a lot of attention to my wardrobe. It was dark in my house and I asked Jason to bring me my shoes. (Do you see where this is going yet?).

So I get out of my car and go inside the store. Automatically the employees are happy to see me and ask how they can help me. I explained I was going to be purchasing the Palm Pre Plus and they started getting my package together. I was walking around the store and kept thinking it felt odd. Possibly the floor was uneven, though that seemed strange.

Finally I looked down and immediately noticed I was wearing two completely different shoes. Yep, only me right? Because I have not a single self preservation bone in my body I of course announced this and the nice gentleman helping me, Ance, said we should take a picture to show how well the camera works.

So here you go people. The Palm Pre Plus has a highly impressive camera system. 3.0 megapixels to be exact. It also has a flash. I think I’m in love.

*I received the Palm Pre Plus phone free for review. However all the embarrassing things that happen to me and I share with you including my opinions, are all mine.
