Review Disney Hotshots Villians Revenge: Pirate Block / Wonderland Maze / Avanquest Software:Villains' Revenge is an opportunity to revisit the classic Disney films of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. In Wonderland Maze you are invited to move a little caterpillar up and down a maze. You have the ability to spin the maze around in order to find ways through for the caterpillar. You can drag the caterpillar with your mouse and it makes funny squelching sounds. This is a very entertaining game that is bound to appeal to younger children. The second game in the title, Pirate Block, is a more complex strategy adventure board game. Peter Pan and Captain Hook have decided to settle their differences on the board. To win the game, you have to either capture six pairs of your opponent's coins or create a line of six coins in a row. You can choose to be Captain Hook or Peter Pan. There is a multi-player option as well so you can play against one, two or three of your friends. [+]They can choose which characters they want to be from the likes of Wendy, Captain Hook, Smee or Peter Pan. Both games are quick to install and are likely to appeal to parents as well, who will probably remember seeing the films when they were younger. -Justin Hunt.

Review Babyz / Focus Multimedia Ltd:Make way for Babyz! Adopt an adorable virtual kid in this amazing, playful CD-ROM simulation of child rearing from the company that brought you Catz and Dogz. Each Babyz (that's singular, too) is darling and unique-choose one of 15 to adopt or, if none of them is just right, check out their Web site with plenty more to pick from, changing every day. You can have up to three in one house, and then the fun begins. Name your Babyz, clothe them, give them toys, feed them, watch them play in the backyard, or just give them a tickle when they look bored. The software runs both like a normally selected program and as a screensaver-if you're not careful, the Babyz will take over your screen when you're not looking! The graphics are playful and imaginative, the costumes are cute, and the house itself is full of stuff for the Babyz to explore. The package comes with voice-recognition software so you can even talk to your Babyz-or teach them to speak. Short, simple words will start yammering back at you before long, and you'll wonder how you ever lived without a babbling Babyz in your computer. -Rob Lightner.

Review Star Wars Episode 1: Yoda's Challenge / Lucas Learning:Young Jedis can explore an entire galaxy with this creative activity pack. Decidedly not another Star Wars arcade game, this software incorporates music, vocabulary, critical-thinking skills, geometry and map reading in six different activities with four different difficulty levels. When all the levels are completed, you can print out an official Yoda-endorsed certificate-Luke Skywalker never got this kind of reinforcement! You can jam with the Cantina Band or create your own songs, all the while drumming with Jar Jar to outwit the battle droids. This program contains tricky tangrams; when they're complete, each picture turns into a real scene from Episode I. It's also possible to print your own illustrated stories in the process of programming C3PO's memory. With extraordinary graphics, great sound, and so many different puzzles and printables, all of these content-rich games are sure to delight and challenge the Padawan learners in your galaxy. -Jill Lightner.
