Sears Makes ESRB "BooBoo" with National TV Spot

Joystiq is running a great post about a potentially nasty booboo at Sears--they've got a tv spot featuring some silly kid telling us how much he likes Halo and Halo 2, and how he bought them at Sears. The problem? Uh, the kid's too young to have bought those games legally, at least if we care to observe the ESRB's ratings.


A Review of "Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island" (2003)

Nancy Drew: Danger on Deception IslandNancy Drew: Danger on Deception Island
Okay, let me start by saying the #1 reason I bought this game was that I found it for $4 in the bargain bin at Target. The developer, Her Interactive, makes no bones about the Nancy Drew series being anything but a kid's game: "For Mystery Fans 10 and up" reads the package. Everything about the game is tailored to fit your average 10-12 year old daughter, even the theme--"Baby whales, ooooh so cute!!!!!!" Being the macho man I am, I was a bit frightened to install this one. However, the game is a well-constructed, enjoyable graphical adventure that kept my "Sassy Detective" wife and me entertained for two evenings. Indeed, I'll be on the lookout for more bargain-priced Nancy Drew titles in the future.
