Mystery Case Files: MillionHeir for Nintendo DS

Nintendo DS Mystery Case FilesI received a new game, Mystery Case Files:MillionHeir for Nintendo DS.

It's an interactive story game where you seek over 1,000 hidden items, I Spy style, in order to solve the mystery of Phil T. Rich's disappearance.

As you investigate and interview possible suspects and potential heirs to his fortune, you are rewarded with items that make your search easier, and there are mini-games that break up the search story.

It's a challenging game, there are dozens of rooms to investigate and the items are cleverly hidden, it's not always easy to find something. The graphics and sound are great, and it's not hard to get up and running, it's pretty intuitive.

Mystery Case Files:MillionHeir for Nintendo DS is rated E for everyone and my kids from 1st-9th grade could play easily and enjoyed it.

Lands' End Women's Weatherly Jacket and Fleece giveaway

The good folks at Lands' End sent me a Weatherly Jacket to try.

It's toasty warm but light weight with a sherpa fleece lined collar and even has an mp3 player pocket.

I love this jacket! It fits well and is neither too tight nor too bulky. I had my eye on a similar North Face jacket, but had talked myself out of it since it was out of my price range and this one is great at a lower price.

I got the brown one, but it comes in some fabulous colors.

It would make a great Christmas gift and it comes in regular, petite and plus sizes and is $59.50.

But, that's not all!
