Castrade has a spanking new device for all you hardcore gamers out there - the Castrade Game Box which aims to make connecting a console to a LCD monitor a snap. This box will be able to handle input from a variety of current generation consoles such as the Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360 (and basically anything else that plays nice via a common video cable), where it will take that signal and scale it properly to an LCD-friendly resolution so that your console won't do the normal and revert to low qualit

User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Really Fun
This game is actually really good. Our whole family enjoys it. The motion control is great on all of the games. The Skill Ball can get a little quirky, but in general it plays well. It would be better if you could actually do something in the game with the tickets that you win, but the game is still fun to play for a few minutes at a time.
3 Stars No Party
I was disappointed with the games on this CD. It was difficult to figure out how to play some of the games and the skills are similar to the sports pack.
2 Stars Not so hot!
So, for $16, I figured I couldn’t go wrong. Well, now that I’ve played it a few times, i wish I would have kept my money. I was thinking that either a) it would be a decent party-like game that a few adults could play or b) it would appeal more to my 5 or 3 year olds.
I’m afraid that it simply didn’t hold anyone’s interest. For such simple parlor style games, the controls were just burdensome and hard to grasp. My kids couldn’t figure out how to really play the games, and they simply weren’t fun to play. Air Hockey, for example, should be about as straightforward as it gets. But, the designers decided to add arms to the game (cluttering up the screen) and added a wacky interface to hit the disc. I ended up shooting more in my own goal than my opponents due to the qwirky interface.
I’d recommend to avoid this game altogether. I’m using my game box as a table-top to hold my remotes, but that’s about all its good for.
