From French-based video game publisher Microids comes THE SMURFS: DREAMS which allows players to pretend they've stepped into the cartoon adventures of the tiny blue gnomes who live in mushroom homes hidden away within a magical forest. THE SMURFS: DREAMS is available now for the Nintendo Switch and Sony PlayStation gaming consoles as well as via Steam for PC. The game can be played in one or two player modes so you can go solo or team up with a friend to try and foil the evil wizard Gargamel's most recent plot to capture the Smurfs so he can use them as an ingredient for his magical potions.
In Gargamel's newest scheme to catch the Smurfs, he has cast a cunning curse on the sarsaparilla bushes they eat causing any of them that take a bite out of the delicious leaves to fall into a deep slumber. Discovering the wizard's plot, the lone Smurfs not to have fallen into his trap must magically enter the dreams of those who have been enchanted to attempt to wake them up. Each dream is a unique adventure in a setting tied to the personality of the cursed Smurf where players must overcome challenges and solve mind-boggling puzzles to break Gargamel's enchantment. Hurry there is no time to waste as you must wake up the sleeping Smurfs before Gargamel reaches their village.
Michael Duport and Thomas Freund who headed the video game development team for Microids shared an interview dubbed into English for American audiences with ageekdaddy.com. They share with us some insightful tips about THE SMURFS: DREAMS including how it was inspired by an earlier Nintendo Game Boy title and how they attempted to match the quality of the animated tv series and movies within their game's scenery and action sequences. It is really amazing how much attention they put into this game to ensure it was true to the vision of the Smurfs' creator, Belgian artist Peyo.
This video game takes fan favorite aspects of classic 2D scrolling video games like Super Mario Bros and Sonic the Hedgehog and adapts them to a 3D platform with modernized graphics to provide a delightful gameplay experience. The game will have you singing la la la la la enjoying yourself while playing it instead of screaming ugh in disgust. It is not the most challenging game but it isn't meant to be. The Smurfs: Dreams is about enjoying an adventure and playing the game is meant to be a relaxing activity not something to get you stressed. Therefore, because it is a good old fashioned fun game to play that makes me nostalgic for '90s era side scrollers enhanced with outstanding eye-catching animation that makes you truly feel like as you've become part of a Smurfs' cartoon, THE SMURFS: DREAMS has earned a Geek Daddy nod of approval.
Highlights of THE SMURFS: DREAMS include:
Solo or with a friend?
Prevent Gargamel's evil plans from suceeding, alone or with a friend for a smurfabulous 2-player experience

Do you think Bunny Zero can be defeated or will the Zoopocalypse spread across the world? This looks to be a fun animated film making a nice introduction for kids to the horror genre being that it is more of a comedic spoof of zombies than a scary movie. Are you a horror film buff that would like to share your interest in "scary movies" with the kids in your life? If so, NIGHT OF THE ZOOPOCALYPSE would make for an excellent family outing to the movie theater. Check out the impressive animation of this movie in its full glory on a big screen!
Looking for something to play that is entertaining and educational for a family game night? Check out HUTAN: LIFE IN THE RAINFOREST from The Op Games. At $40 this game won't bust the family budget and is fun to play while also promoting positive messages about conservation. HUTAN is recommended for 1 to 4 players for ages 8+. A nice factor for it being on your family game night list is that it takes thirty to forty-five minutes to play so it is long enough to be an enjoyable experience and not too long as to have kids start getting bored with it.
In HUTAN, all players have their own patch of an Indonesian rainforest where they will plant sprouts and flowers that over time, will grow into towering trees. When a habitat is created, an iconic forest animal arrives - the orangutan, the Sumatran tiger, the rhinoceros hornbill, the cassowary, or the Sumatran rhino.
HUTAN plays over 9 rounds - and all players will have two turns each round. On your turn, you take a flower card from the shared market pool and place the flowers into your rainforest. If you place a flower on top of a matching flower, you grow a tree. When an area is filled with trees, the last tree is replaced by an animal. At the end of the game, the player who grew the best rainforest and attracted the most animals will score the most points and win.
Here are a few points on what makes this a great game:
STRATEGIC TILE-LAYING GAME: HUTAN challenges players to grow a thriving rainforest by planting flowers, growing trees, and attracting wildlife in a unique tile-placement experience.
STUNNING RAINFOREST THEME: Featuring breathtaking artwork and iconic animals like orangutans and Sumatran tigers, HUTAN brings the beauty of the rainforest to life.
EASY TO LEARN, DEEP STRATEGY: Simple rules make it quick to pick up, while layered mechanics offer engaging game play for both casual and experienced players.
PREMIUM COMPONENTS: Includes beautifully illustrated board and cards, high-quality trees, animals and flowers.
PERFECT FOR FAMILY GAME NIGHT: With solo and multiplayer modes, HUTAN offers a fun and rewarding experience for players of all ages, from kids to seasoned gamers.
