We are huge gamers in this house… and by we, I mean my kids and husband. I like a good game myself, but they are the big gamers here. The biggest fan of video games is my son. He will play any game. Truly. We were sent a few games to try out from Activision and Johnny was beyond thrilled when they showed up. He hasn’t had any new games in some time so he got started right away.
We have a few game consoles in our house so, while I set up one game in his room, he started another in our living room. I’ll start with the one I was setting up, The Voice.
The Voice video game brings all the excitement of the hit TV show to your living room. From the Blind Auditions, to the Battle Rounds, all the way to the Finale, experience the TV show with the ultimate goal of being named “The Voice.”
• Select from chart-topping hits spanning Rock, R&B, Pop and Country!
• Impress the coaches and watch them compete for you to join their team.
• Learn tips and techniques to help improve your performances including, breathing, vocal range and harmonizing in Voice Coach Mode.
• Grab 7 of your friends and sing your favorite songs in Party Mode!
I love to sing (even though no one loves to hear it). This game makes that so much fun. I was able to do it for a few minutes before my kids took over and it is a great game that is easy enough for kids to play but fun enough for adults. You get to pick songs that you want to sing and have prompts to help you get the best scores. My kids didn’t really understand that part but they had a great time trying. I will say that, as an adult, I knew most of the songs but I am not sure many of them would be known by people less than teenage years. My older two knew a few of the songs and they were fine with that. When I asked them what they liked the most, they said it was because of the microphone and I admit that it is fun to sing into.
The Voice is available for Xbox 360, PlayStation3, Wii, and Wii U. You can find it now where games are sold for $39.99 (or less if you are lucky).
While Joley and I were playing The Voice, Johnny was playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze. I heard whoops and hollers from the other room while he played. He was really enjoying it!
The Turtles are back in action against the evils of the world! Stop Shredder and his army of mutants as he threatens to unleash the power of a new Super Mutagen that could destroy their beloved NYC.
* Play as your favorite Turtle or switch between them on the fly!
* Battle NEW enemies from the hit TV show, not yet seen in a TMNT video game!
* Fight villains with an all NEW combat system to earn EXP and upgrade your characters.
* Find hidden upgrades as you explore the non-linear world!
* Discover new locations including the mysterious Dimension X!
Johnny loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles so I knew he was going to love this game the second I saw it. He said it was “hard but awesome” and played it for quite some time before joining me and the girls to play the other game. He has played this game several times since it arrived too (a sign of a good game in this house). He was excited to see new enemies in this game as well as trying to stop Shredder. The graphics are nice and bright with a nice look for both kids and adults alike. Johnny wants to find the hidden upgrades the most and that is why he says he wants to play so much.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze is available for Xbox 360, PlayStation3, and Nintendo 3DS. You can find it now where games are sold for $39.99.
Both games are rated E 10+. I don’t think either are bad for children but you may not like the “violence” of the TMNT game or the lyrics of The Voice game. I would check out the visuals online first if you are worried. I, personally have no problem with my 8 year old playing either game and the lyrics from The Voice are no worse than the kids here on the radio every day.
I think that these would be great gifts for kids or adults on your holiday list. Have someone that loves singing? The Voice will be fun for them. Are you someone that likes to get together for parties with friends? You would love The Voice! If you have a boy or man in your life that likes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, then you have to get them that game. They will thank you for it!
Would either of these games be good for someone on your holiday list? Which would you like the most?
Awesome. I have to share this with my bro.
What fun video games. I know a few people who would enjoy playing the turtle game.
I’m happy to see The Voice on there! We’ll probably pick up that TMNT game for my son for a holiday gift this year.
My friends son would love that Ninja Turtles game. I’ll have to look into getting it for him.
The Voice looks like a fun family game. My boys would love the TMNT game.
I did not know that there was a The Voice game. What a great idea!
My daughter and i love singing games. I will have to get her The Voice for Christmas.
I’m a huge fan of Activision as well and have most of their family friendly games. My boys would love that TMNT one.
Actually, my husband would probably like the TMNT game. He’s a big fan from way, way back.
We’re not gamers at our house, but I know a littel boy that would love the Ninja Turtle game!
How fun! My kids would love all of these, they keep asking for video games!
I seriously haven’t been into games since Atari. Sad, I know. LOL. My husband on the other hand would sit up all night on the PS3 if he didn’t have to work and save patients lives.
My daughter is getting into the TMNT now. I bet she’d love this game.
I would definitely want to try The Voice. Only if I was the only one home though.
HOW did I not know that The Voice was being made into a game?? We have a Wii and I am definitely asking for the game for Christmas!
I know man voice fans. I bet they would love these games for the holidays.
How neat! I had no idea The Voice even had a game – love that show! And the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles one looks good, too!
My family would love The Voice for Wii. It’s one of our favorite TV shows!
Activision has made some really awesome video games, such a great choice of company for gifts!
I remember playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles back in the day. Now I’m feeling old. It really was a fun game. There were several of them if I remember correctly. I’m going to go check out this one. I remember they were known for having state of the art graphics. It will be interesting to see what they look like now.
I love the idea of The Voice game and the TMNT anything is to here. DD loves it!! She loves the Wii version of that game anyways. We don’t own X Box.
I don’t know about The Voice, but my kids would definitely like the Ninja Turtles game. That includes my girl 🙂
I have never even heard of that TMNT game before, but I NEED to get it for my boys. They are obsessed!!
The TMNT are very popular this year! I think the Voice game would be fun for family game night. Lots of laughs for sure!
