Microsoft is the only manufacturer to have a single console on the market, but don't think for a second that they haven't made their games a priority. Below are three tremendously interesting and creative titles available on Xbox 360 for the holidays. First, though, let's recap the game genres (for more detailed explanations of each, please refer to Sunday's guide to Nintendo games).
Sony is the only console manufacturer with three active platforms on the market, but with over 2,000 games available for the aging Playstation 2, picking three is practically impossible. This list will cover only the Playstation Portable (PSP) and Playstation 3. First, though, let's recap the game genres (for more detailed explanations of each, please refer to an earlier guide to Nintendo games).
My earliest memory of playing video games at home is watching my brother play Space Invaders on our Texas Instruments TI-99 home computer. I was born in 1979 and the TI-99 was released in 1981, so the timeline fits pretty well. At any rate, for the next 25 years or so, I played all of my games on PC.
Runners run races for many reasons, but what gets most of us through them is the promise of something edible at the finish line. Today's Run for the Turkeys 5K was no different, although in my case I was hoping most for plain old water. Mary Ann wanted coffee. I got water, she got coffee, and we both took a few of the "energy bars" laid out on the post-run table. True to form, though, neither of us ate them.
Every year on the Friday before Thanksgiving NPR revisits Mama Stamberg and her cranberry relish. This recipe sounds terrible, but is great! Add this to your holiday table, then sit back and wait for the comments.
Mama Stamberg's Cranberry Relish
2 cups whole raw cranberries, washed
1 small onion
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons horseradish from a jar ("red is a bit milder than white")
