    Video Games Weekly: Abzu

    Karen Jensen, MLS, March 9, 2017 | Tech Talk, Technology, Video Games, Video Games Weekly

    The video game Journey, which I talked about at length here, is one of my favorite video games at all time.  The same creator recently came out with a new video game called Abzu, which I pre-ordered because I loved Journey so much.  Although it’s not the same experience as Journey, I think many parents […]

    Karen Jensen, MLS, January 18, 2017 | Video Games, Video Games Weekly

    I’ve been reading posts on various Youth Services-related FB groups about the best console for Teen Game Night programs. I would first suggest you ask your teens for their input before you make any hasty decisions. If you are considering a Wii U, time is of the essence because the Nintendo Switch will be released […]

I […]

    Video Games Weekly: Pokemon Sun and Moon

    Karen Jensen, MLS, December 14, 2016 | Video Games, Video Games Weekly

    Background: Pokemon Sun and Moon are attractive to gamers who have been dedicated Pokemon fans since the beginning, as well as returning gamers who want to experience a game with more substance than Pokemon Go.

    Video Games Weekly: Lego Harry Potter Collection

    Karen Jensen, MLS, November 30, 2016 | Video Games, Video Games Weekly

    The Lego Harry Potter Collection is the remastered PS4 edition of the original Lego Harry Potter games, (it’s unknown if a remastered edition will be released for Xbox or Nintendo) but this time the entire game is on one disc!  The release was timely considering the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them came […]

    Video Games Weekly: XCOM 2

    Karen Jensen, MLS, November 2, 2016 | Video Games, Video Games Weekly

    Last week, I reviewed Paper Mario: Color Splash, which had some turn-based elements.  This week, XCOM 2 is a full turn-based strategy game, and is probably one of the few remaining widely anticipated video games of 2016. YouTube Trailer:   Platform:  PC, Xbox One, PS4 Rated: T for blood, use of tobacco, and violence.  Honestly, […]

    Karen Jensen, MLS, October 26, 2016 | Video Games, Video Games Weekly

    This week’s video game is the newest edition of the “Paper Mario” series.  Paper Mario takes the classic 2D side scrolling game and gives it a role-playing feel, often with 3D elements and a paper aesthetic.  Mario usually has a hammer that can squish enemies, and as always he has to save Princess Peach in […]

    Lego Dimensions is the first toys-to-life video game of its genre.  It is also one of the coolest video games that combines popular fandoms all into one video game.

    Video Games Weekly: Warframe

    Karen Jensen, MLS, October 5, 2016 | Video Games, Video Games Weekly

    This week’s video game is a FTP (free to play) third-person shooter video game available on multiple platforms.  When I say “free”, I mean that it is a freemium game where players are able to play for free just like anyone else, but can make micro-transactions to purchase better items.  Warframe as far as I […]

    TPiB: Undertale Party

    Karen Jensen, MLS, September 28, 2016 | Teen Program in a Box, Teen Programming, Teen Programming in a Box, Teen Programs in a Box, TPIB, Video Games, Video Games Weekly

    Last week, I wrote a review about the video game Undertale.  If you haven’t read it, go ahead and skim it before trying out this program! Also, be sure to ask your regular teens if they’re fans of Undertale before deciding to do this program. Undertale is a niche fandom that isn’t nearly as big […]
