Anyone have Game Genie cheat codes for Angry Birds?
Ok. I think I’ve figured out how to beat Angry Birds. I just need to find some cheat codes for the Game Genie.
What? This is how I beat all the video games when I was a kid.
Where’s Wall-E? Can you find him?
I’m a fan of the Where’s Waldo books for some reason so when I came across Where’s Wall-E I couldn’t stop looking for him until I found him. It took a few minutes, but I found him; along with a lot of other cool robots!

Spent $0.99 on Bird Zapper for iPad and it’s awesome.
I don’t usually impulse buy games for my iPad, but when I saw Bird Zapper the other day, something made me download it and I’m glad I did.
Bird Zapper has fantastic graphics, good game play and it keeps me wanting to play more. Basically you use your finger to connect three or more like birds and zap them. There are plenty of combos and bonuses and it just hooks ya.
If you’ve got an iPad or iPhone I think you should check it out. For $0.99 it’s a heck of a lot of fun.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 Kinda Rocks
My wife and I are big fans of Super Mario Galaxy. When we saw that version 2 was out we had to pick it up and quickly became addicted.
The game play second is very similar to the first which means we knew what we were doing right away. However, there are lots of new additions like you can now play as rock Mario or cloud Mario. You can enlist the help of Yoshi too. Who doesn’t love Yoshi?!
5 More Fun Free Web Games
After the success of my first five web games post, I thought I’d put a second one together with five more free web games that I’ve come across since then. All are pretty simple to top play and yet challenging at the same time. However, they are also addicting. It’s not my fault if you spend hours playing and getting nothing else done. 
3d Logic II- Stronghold of Sage – There is quite a bit of a story here, and lots of nice graphics, but the game is very simple. Just connect the colors. Click on any one colored square and then fill in the transparent squares until you connect it with the matching colored square. Sounds easy right? Well it is for the first few levels. After that, it gets tricky!
90 Minutes With Super Mario Galaxy
My wife brought home Super Mario Galaxy we spend 90 minutes playing it last night. I have to say that even though Princess got taken again, it’s a phenomenal game.
Mario is back in all his glory. The worlds are amazing. You are on round levels that you can literally run all the way around. Fall in a hole and you’ll pop out the other side. Bridges are not always straight across, sometimes they curve around to the underside of the level. Mario walks up, down, left, right and all over the place. Some areas you just feel as if you make one wrong step, you’ll fall into space. However, you merely walk onto the side of the object and it’s very cool!

In no particular order, here are 5 cool web games that are worth checking out.
Lite Brite goes Online
Life is to short to work all day, so you might as well take a few breaks and relax. Maybe play with a Lite Brite?
You know what a Lite Brite is right? That toy from when we were kids (or maybe just me) and you stick the little plastic pieces though the dark paper, then they get backlit and it just looks so cool. I can be just as entertained today by it as back then which, is why I’m excited to see it online.
