    But if you're looking for more than a distraction for the kids, a learning tool perfectly disguised as a game, then consider Nintendo's Hey You, Pikachu!.

    Once you give it a closer look, Hey You, Pikachu! is a highly addictive game that both children and adults can enjoy.

    Hey You, Pikachu is bright and saccharine, the videogame equivalent of a "Brady Bunch" marathon with a pre-sugared cereal chaser.

    This is a novelty. Granted, for all it's limitations, the technology does work, but this really is something for the little ones.

    Unlike "Seaman," this game's voice recognition is pretty primitive.

    Even if you dig Pikachu's act, the "game" is ultimately a spirit-crushing, mind-numbing exercise in tedium.

I was just about ready to chuck the TV out the window and shoot at it repeatedly with my shotgun. This game has absolutely no point other then to make people cry. Absolute horror. The only way this game could get a 10 is if it is used as an Osama Bin Laden Torture device.… Expand
