San Jose, CA

I just wanted to share with you the new Grand Theft Auto that is suppose to be release in
April. Will an old breed of criminals be taking over Liberty City to chase the American Dream?

I guess well just have to sit back, have a couple shots of Stoli, and wait for our flight to land in Liberty City to find out. Till then we can still enjoy the clips.

It also looks like Liberty City isn’t the only place that’s talking about leaving home and venturing out. There’s been talk that Electronic Arts might take on Rockstar in 2009. Though if all the big names at Rockstar are not included then the deal might be off.

All strange to me since back in October Rockstar and Electronic Arts were at each other over content of “The Simpsons” game. Will the boys and girls from Rockstar and EA learn to play nice in 2009? Well just have to keep our eyes on the game blogs and find out later.

Sorry for dropping the ball around Veterans day. I was really looking forward to finding Veterens around San Jose, California and celebrating with words. Especially the United States Marine Corp which I hear celebrated their Birthday recently.

Apparently you make the pets too healthy for big bad boy Pet corp. Now you have to open up your own shop and grind Pet corp. to the ground while offer great service to your customers.

Game Play
Paradise Pet Salon is much like Roller-dash, Diner Dash, and Wedding Dash. Your goal is to serve as many customers as fast as possible while putting each animal on the right workstation.

With each level you come closer and closer to buying a second location. You keep washing, clipping, and making animals healthy until you send Pet corp. running with their tails between their legs.

I love to play games online or on my Xbox. I know that there are others out there, so I thought I would introduce you to some games that I enjoy. It’s ok to play games. I use it as a stress reliever after a hard day at work and exercising.

Life in a bakery is not an adventurous one. Jill has spent most of her time helping family and friends re-open their bakeries. Now four other people need help with their bakeries around the world.

Will Jill be famous, gather fortune or rekindle a flame? You’ll just have to play Cake Mania 2 yourself and see.

I was able to play the game last night and I loved it! There are four different locations, over 204 levels of cake decorating. The best thing is that you do not have to play level after level. In Cake Mania 2, you are able to switch from one location to the other.

Let’s not forget that everything is new! The kitchen upgrades are the same except for the middle cake holder. This cake holder for $500 now has several add on tiers. Jill now has 18 new customers to deal with ranging from screaming kids to Aliens. The frostings are now unique and different, like orange swirl and rainbow sprinkles on chocolate.

This is definitely a game for the whole family, especially past Cake Mania fans. Though Jill is still baking away, Cake Mania offers new challenges to a classic game.
