ESRB rates 'Mr. Bean' for Wii (note: it is 2010)
Here's a bad idea: making a cartoon in 2002 based on a TV series that ended in 1995, which relied entirely upon one actor's physical comedy skills, and featured very little dialogue. Here's a worse idea: making a Wii platformer in 2008 based on that animated series. The worst idea yet: Taking ...

Crave announces bowling for Natal
We're sorry if the above headline is misleading, but we feel we should inform you of two things. One, Crave has not announced a game show entitled "Bowling for Natal," so don't expect to see everyday schlubs competing for a Natal on daytime TV anytime soon. Two, what Crave has announced, according ...

Last fall, controversy about Fisher-Price's Little Mommy Cuddle 'n Coo doll rocked the local news circuit, when the doll was discovered to utter some kind of gibberish that sounded kind of like "Islam is the Light" if you were listening hard enough for things to be outraged about. The odd sound sam...
Real-time strategy -- you know, for kids
We're often critical of some of the children's games released on the Wii (one reason being, perhaps, that we're not the target market, but mostly because just how many pet sims do we really need for one console?). Crave seems to be taking a different route this time, though -- one that we c...
Purr Pals boxart needs more baking time
We hope that writing about this doesn't get it changed. We think this Purr Pals boxart is a treasure of lulz, and we want it to be like this forever. The cats may be attempting to draw our eyes upward, but we still can't ignore the typo on the bottoms of the box. Well, either it's a typo, or Purr ...
