P versus Z II

Since the latest instalment of Plants versus Zombies was incompatible with the first generation iPad, my boys had been using my Retina iPad since. So, I now have no iPad. The game was that addictive. No chance for me to catch the big since ny boys had been using them since yesterday.

It looks like Idlan would be using Anita's old second generation iPad as well, since Irfan had been conquering my device. Sigh!

At least the game was free .......

The Skylanders Are Here

I promised the boys that I would take them to buy some new video games for them this weekend. And oh boy, were they good at reminding me of the promise. Irfan was ready from this and both of them actually had a list of preference which they wanted to ask.

But all of that stopped when they had a look at Skylanders. They played Spyro the Dragon before, made by the same company, but this game was radically different.

It came with a USB platform called the portal and three action figures. When you play the game, you changed the characters by replacing the characters on the platform. You could go and buy new characters as you expand the game in the future and all these characters have unique abilities. As you play the game, you could also develop these characters by gathering skills.

A novel concept I thought. And in could see them glued in front of the console for the next few weeks. Still early days, but they seemed to get the hang of it.

Treat for Irfan

So, the school to was ending for the boys, and from this coming weekend, they would be off for six weeks. SIX weeks! I was sure to grow more grey hair by then. They have also finished their exams and we would be heading for Fraser's Hill after my clinic this Saturday for three nights. A nice lazing little trip. Would be bringing my in-laws as well.

Asking Idlan which colour he prefersAll packed up

For the last six months, Irfan was asking me for a Nintendo. Since he did very ll in the recent exams, he got his treat. So, off. Went yesterday afternoon to Plaza Damas - our usual dealer - for his Nintendo. So, he went home happy, and last night, he actually slept with it. At least we know that he would be quiet all the way up the hill .....
