All those Guitar Hero and Wii families out there will love this giveaway. We have 3 copies of the new Wii game, PopStar Guitar.
Think Guitar Hero but for a younger audience – rather than using a guitar, there’s a cover that pops over the Wii remote for the kids to “play” the songs. Songs featured include ones by the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Blink 182, 3 Doors Down, Fall Out Boy, Maroon 5, Paramore, Simple Plan, Rihanna, All-American Rejects and more.
Check out the bundle on Toys R Us. Three lucky Mommies with Style readers will receive a copy of this game.
The game releases November 18th and will retail for $59.99.
To enter, leave a comment in this post. Just for fun – share with us: what was the first game or game system you played as a kid? (If you didn’t play games growing up, you can say that too, just leave a comment so you’re entered!)
This contest will run until next Sunday, November 16th. Three winners will be selected and notified after that time.

Damn I feel old…Atari’s Pong! Or Speak and Spell! Ha ha!
I remember ours! We had a Commodore 64 and there was a game that had letters falling down from the top of the screen and you had to find them on the keyboard before they reached the bottom – and then at the end of each level there would be a hot air balloon with a short word you’d have to type in time (before it rose or fell, I can’t remember). I can’t remember the name of the game, though!
And I think that might’ve been the same computer that had a game with a little unicyclist catching balloons on his head… but I’m not sure. Ahh… good times.
Atari or Nintendo. Can’t remember which one but for sure it was Pacwoman!!
Atari when I was 5. I’m not sure my first game, I started playing young
I can remember how excited my sisters and I were to play Asteroids on our Atari. My parents had a separate black & white TV set up for us to play on. It was the best!

Pong baby! I have four VERY active boys that would LOVE this. Rock on!

Wow…..the first game I remember playing was Parsec on a Texas Instruments home computer. This predated the Commodore 64! I’d feel like an antique, except my husband can top that!
Oh, games of Pong are one of my favorite memories! Hoorah for new memories with the Wii!
We had a lot of fun putting together burgers on our Intellivision (I think that’s how it’s spelled). You could pepper the “bad” guys.

My sister got an Atari system, so my first game I ever played was the one that was sort of like Breakout, I forget the name!

I think my first game was Colecovision! Scary how long ago that was….and it’s taken me this long, but i JUST bought a Wii for Christmas!
We didn’t have Atari, we had something called Odyssey. I was always jealous of the super-cool Atari kids, but there was this racing game that was awesome! The main part of the thing looked like a typewriter – it was HUGE! Wii is SO much better!!!
OMG Jennifer Z, I totally played the text-based “adventure” games too!
P I loved Frogger & Pacman on the Atari System and later Legend of Zelda became my all time fave game on the Nintendo. I also really liked Centipede, Qbert and Tempest in the Arcade. ;o) Hey, did anyone here ever own the Sega Genesis? I think I still have my Gameboy somewhere….
* 1st “tech” (prepare to laugh” game: ATARI ,man I could play Pong for HOURS! Then Asteroids became mesmerizing!
* 1st “non-tech”: hands down tie between Chutes & Ladders & Candyland
* Haven’t we come a long way in gaming now! My 5 & 7 year old & my husband and I routinely enjoy family Wii challenges–how fun would this game be! We haven’t tried a “music” game yet! Cool!
The first game system my brother and I had was the Atari. I loved Frogger and he was a Qbert fan. Now we both have a Wii – the only game system I’ve wanted since – and it’s so much fun!
