Post a commentMy apologies to anyone who has emailed me lately at pnaw10@pnaw10.com — for some reason, I thought the site traffic was just really slow and nobody was writing, but I realized my email program wasn’t checking that particular mailbox! For example, tons of comments on my review of “Family Feud 2010″ for the Wii… they’ve been coming in since December, but I just discovered them all today. Looks like everyone else hates this crappy excuse for a game just as much as I did! In any case… I’ll make a point of checking email more often, so feel free to write about anything you see on the site, suggestions, comments, etc.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed something that’s made driving in Syracuse a little more challenging — or at least interesting. Pedestrians who feel they’d rather risk death by walking in the street, rather than get their feet cold by walking on snowy sidewalks. [More »] I’ve had New Super Mario Bros. Wii since the day it released back in October, but only recently beat the game, hence the delay with this review. Whether you’ve played other Super Mario Bros. games or not — or even if it’s been a long time since you’ve played one — this is worth picking up. To sum it up, this game isn’t perfect, but it’s brilliant nonetheless.

(Actually, searching back, I already have.) And I usually hate the way some businesses make people work on Thanksgiving — after spending Thanksgivings 2005-2008 at work myself. But today, I have to hand it to Walmart for staying open this year… it really helped me out in a major bind. [More »]
Hey everyone. The site has looked pretty much unchanged since I revived it in 2007. At the time, there weren’t as many themes and plugins available for WordPress. The theme I was using, K2, was considered to be among the best themes available. But it’s been a long time since K2 has been updated… [More »] |

Taking advantage of Target’s current “
I’ve been a game show fan since I was a kid, so when Target recently offered “buy two get one free” on Wii games, I jumped on a trio of game show remakes. After all, if you can’t get to Television City to be there in person, a good computer simulation can be the next best thing. One of the games I bought was “Family Feud: 2010 Edition,” produced by Ubisoft/Ludia, the same companies that made the other two game show remakes I bought. It’s not the best video game version of “The Feud” I’ve ever seen, but it’s not the worst, either. 
I normally don’t post things that basically amount to a free advertisement, but this deal is too good to pass up. Now through November 7th at Target, most Wii games are part of a “buy 2 get one free” promotion. In 20+ years of playing video games, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a deal like that.
High Speed Rail: We're Not Doing it Right
High-speed rail could very well be a great idea — but only if they do it right. And so far, it looks like that’s not the case, at least not in New York State. [More »]
