D3 Presents Ben 10 Galactic Racing Xbox 360

November 14, 2011 by Momstart 134 Comments

Racing games are my favorite kind of video games, always have been and always will be. I just love racing around the track and Ben 10 Galactic Racing brings a new fun adventure to the screen with the Omnimatrix of changing characters and powers. It’s like Mario Kart in a way but at the same time different. It’s Ben 10 and you can play as either Ben, Kevin or choose from 13 fan-favorite aliens. BEN 10 Galactic Racing presents the ultimate racing experience, where every character has a special ability to utilize on the race track and even Ben can transform into different aliens mid-race!  We played this as a family one night. Zoe against dad, mom against Miles and Zoe against Miles and Dad against Mom. We just kept taking turns until our hands hurt. It was a fun family night in. I had a great time playing and loved using my power ups to make my husband crash! Yep, I’m that kind of wife.

The Game Premise:

Every one thousand years, the Galvan alien species holds a celebration in space, where aliens from all over the galaxy attend a high-speed race. In BEN 10 Galactic Racing, players will compete as Ben himself, or choose from 15 fan-favorite aliens, in the Galactic Grand Prix Race that takes place in more than 25 exhilarating and challenging grand-prix tracks spread across five different planets from the BEN 10 universe.

This fast-paced and interstellar racer is coming this Fall to PS3, PSP, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and Wii.Img2

Key Features Worth Mentioning:

  • Become a Champion! – Select a character and compete against opponents in a circuit of action-packed, high-speed races in increasingly challenging tracks filled with offensive and defensive pick-ups, where players earn awards along the way.
  • Enjoy a BEN 10 Multiplayer Experience Like Never Before – The first BEN 10 racing game allows players to compete against up to three friends to become the champion racer.
  • Race as Your Favorite Characters – Players can race as Ben, who can transform into aliens mid-race, or as other characters from the BEN 10 universe, each of which can use unique offensive and defensive attacks themed to that character’s abilities. New alien hero Fasttrack makes his video game debut!
  • Fun and Challenging Grand Prix Tracks – Players can burn rubber on more than 25 distinct race tracks, which include extreme courses that shift mid-race, on five massive worlds. Players can also choose from more than 30 karts, some based on vehicles seen in the BEN 10 series, and others are available as special unlockables.
  • Original Storyline with an Exceptional Level of Authenticity – The game is based on the phenomenally-successful Cartoon Network original animated BEN 10 series and the game’s art style, sound effects and music are 100% authentic to the show.
  • Img1

    Our only complaint would be that the Xbox 360 gamer points are only available in single person mode. It’s quite a bit of fun earning gamer points. It’s one of my husband’s main objectives when he’s playing a game.

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winner, Nicole Edwards.

All rules can be found under giveaway rules.

We received samples.

Family Party 30 Great Games Winter Fun Video Game for the Wii #giveaway

January 26, 2010 by Momstart 821 Comments

http://www.d3press.us/files/Family%20Party:%2030%20Great%20Games%20Winter%20Fun/Box%20Art/30GG_WF_Wii_Front.JPG

D3 is about to release a brand new game, the newest installment of Family Party, 30 Great Games Winter Fun. It is exclusive to the Wii. I’ve played the Family Party: 30 Games Outdoor Fun game and it’s a great way to play a set of games as a family. I have never played this one but it looks great.

Avoid the cold and ski lift lines with Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun from D3Publisher coming exclusively to Wii™ this February. Players do not have to be professional athletes to be the best in this game as Winter Fun offers a wide blend of winter themed activities featuring winter sports competitions, playground snow activities, and new brain freezing challenges. Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun is under development by Tamsoft Corporation and is rated “E” for everyone by the ESRB.

About Family Party: 30 Great Games Winter Fun

Winter Fun will have your family playing together for hours on the Wii. Players can choose from over a dozen cute characters that are dressed in customizable winter attire. What’s great is that all four family members can play at one time. My husband wanted to stop at two kids because that makes a a family of four and there are only four controllers to each console, so now you know my family secret. 😉 Available for play is multiplayer co-op, for the first time ever in this franchise. Players will be inspired by the winter games, and all your favorites should be included. You can unlock even more games and challenges to continue achieving high scores and winning medals.

 

D3 Publisher has generously offered me 5 copies to offer as a giveaway to 5 different readers.

To Enter:

Visit D3 Publishers and let me know what other game you would find interesting
