Cinco de Mayo is here! Most people don’t really know what Cinco de Mayo is really about though, so here’s a brief history lesson. Cinco de Mayo is a Mexican holiday celebrating the victory at The Battle of Puebla in 1862. During the battle, a Mexican army half the size of the invading French army managed to protect Puebla.

Cinco de Mayo was originally a regional holiday, but has since grown and is celebrated throughout North America. It also has expanded to not only celebrate The Battle of Puebla, but also Mexican culture in general. Cinco de Mayo events include parades, dancing, music and Mexican food.

Since Cinco de Mayo falls right in the middle of the week, it may be difficult to get some time off to relax and celebrate. So instead, sit back and play a few video games which might help you get into the Cinco de Mayo mood…

If you like using your DS not only for entertainment, but as a means of bettering yourself, then today (January 12, 2009) is a good day to stop by Amazon. The Deal of the Day is a massive sale on all of the Ubisoft My Coach DS games. So if you want to learn a new language, change yourself or just become a bit more knowledgeable, you can now do it for a little cheaper.

Most of the games are either $7.01 or $10.01 off the normal price. For example, My French Coach and My Word Coach are both $12.98. My Chinese Coach, My Fun Facts Coach, My Japanese Coach, My SAT Coach with The Princeton Review, My Spanish Coach, My Stop Smoking Coach with Allen Carr and My Weight Loss Coach are all $19.98. Not all of the games are in stock though…
