Shades of Blockbuster and every other game that can trace its genealogy to "Pong"! But as a Dad, I'm having a hard time dealing with that teary "You let me down, Mr Sugar!" every time the kid hits the floor.

Now excuse me while I go finish my third bowl of Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs. Just two more boxes and I've got enough coupons for a Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs Buzzy the Hummingbird doll. (Nod to Mr Watterson)

It's not early! I've been at work for four hours already! I was dying! I almost had to respond to actual work things.

Am I the only one that thought it was going to be a game about Harry Potter Spoilers?

Mike D, I hear you on the teary eyed part, but you have to admit, the nap and bouncy wake-up sure is fun and familiar! (My daughter tends to clap when she wakes from her naps)

This feels like advergaming, and yet... it is not....

I still prefer the Dannon punch out for my food+gaming, but this was fun... I always like the paddle modifers in these breakout-remakes.

this is my favorite game based on the breakout premise I've ever played. seriously, more than the original.
