Ready Steady Bang! Review

Ready Steady Bang! is a game where you take the part of a cowboy and engage in quick-draw battles. The game is heavily based on reflexes, not timing, even though it would seem like it be a timing based game.

Overall it is pretty dang fun, and it has a lot of achievements that yield lots of XP for all you ranking up needs.

I would recommend this game.

Quiet, Please! review

Quiet, Please! is a short puzzle game where you have to figure out how to get things such as the TV or a lawnmower to be quiet. It has semi-pixelated graphics, and semi-retro sounds. Other than that, it has simple four-button controls and you can't save (though, it would be kinda pointless because of how short it is).

I would recommend this game (Get it on Google Play here).

Junk Jack X/Long time no post, eh

Today, I will be reviewing Junk Jack X, a game for iOS ($4.99) that is great, but is missing a few things. I will be talking more about the new features in X in this review, and the actual game mechanics in my review of the first game.

First of all, this game is the sequel to Junk Jack, which is also a great game (I will review it in the future), but unlike it's predecessor, this game seems unfinished as in it has useless items, and some bugs. It has added new things that it's predecessor didn't have, like multiplayer, planets, and new enemies. The multiplayer uses Gamecenter to connect you to other people at random, but it only supports up to two players. They have also added special world locks, to prevent others from destroying your stuff. Speaking of worlds, I should probably also mention the planet system. The first planet, Terra is like Earth in that it is the most habitable planet (so far). The next planet, Seth, is a Egypt/Desert planet, with lots of sand, but to get to it, you need to find three portal pieces on Terra. If you find three more portal pieces on Seth you can go on to the next planet, and so on, until you run out of planets to explore (the devs keep adding more, so no worries :P). lastly, there are new enemies (and blocks :D), to check out. Most of these come from the other planets, so you might want to put finding portal pieces high on your priority list.

Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who likes Minecraft (you can see my review, here).




Ok, so anyone who has been reading this may have noticed I haven't posted recently, and I'm sorry about that, I will try to post more soon.

Doge Run Review

Though this game is in beta, I have experienced very few problems with it. It is kind of like Mario, but instead of squashing your enemies, you bark at them. Your score is based on a distance, and you can collect bonuses that multiply your score. You can also get hats, armor, and skins that increase other stats, and to buy them you need to collect coins. So, yeah pretty sophisticated endless runner. And it is really fun too. If I am ever bored, I just start playing the game on my Nexus and I'm not bored anymore. Overall, I would recommend this game.

2048 Review

Sorry for lack of posts recently, I will try to make up for it with extra posts, but anyway on to the actual blog post.

First of all, this game is very addicting. The main main point of the game is to match enough tiles to get the 2048 tile (hence the name, 2048). To make a match, you have to match two tiles with the same number, and they will form one tile with the two numbers combined (EX: If you matched two '2' tiles you would get a '4' tile). The Android and iOS versions of the game have Play Games/Game Center support, with achievements and leaderboards. They even have online multi-player!

Okay, now that you know a little about the game, here is what I have to say, (I will be talking from the Android point of view), the multi-player is OK, but I would prefer it to use Play Games/Game Center. The other modes like, Survival, Practice, and X-Tile are cool, Survival is my favorite. The music (in options) is a nice addition. Overall, I like this game, and I would recommend it.

Sorry for my lack of posts recently, I have been doing other things. I just wanted to explain why I wasn't posting on this blog. Also, I will not have a normal posting routine, I will just post when I feel like :D Oh, and make sure to follow me on Google+, I post lots of awesome stuff.

Review of Make It Rain Money

I have been playing this game on my Windows Phone (also available on Android and iOS) called Make It Rain Money. I know this sounds like one of those stupid little kid's games, but this one is actually pretty fun. It seems to be based on Cookie Clicker (a game about clicking a cookie on the screen to get more cookies) considering it has a similar mechanic. Also considering Cookie Clicker doesn't have an official mobile version, it has left the mobile platform open for developers to make their own take on Cookie Clicker, one of these developers being Space Inch (the developer of Make It Rain Money). Of course, this is supposed to be a review on Make It Rain Money, not a discussion  on alternate versions of Cookie Clicker. The first thing about the game is, to start making money you have to swipe upwards, there were no clear instructions on how to play, leaving the player to figure it out for them self, which might be good, but if you are bad at figuring stuff out, it would not be good. After I got the hang of it, I started making some investments (upgrades) and there were some interesting ones, like Bitcoin accounts, run for world leader, and Diamond mine. Also there is this unique feature called The Bucket where you get money while the app is closed. (You still get the automatic swipes, the bucket just adds on to that). After a while though the game started to get kind of grindy, with me constantly swiping for about five minutes straight.

Overall I would recommend this game.

My review on Minecraft

I thought I would start us off with a game almost everybody has heard of...Minecraft! First off I am talking about the PC/Mac version of this game, reviews for the other versions will come soon. The first thing I want to mention is that Minecraft is one of the few actively developed games, meaning that we get updates and developer previews (betas) very often. Now as far as gameplay goes, it runs well on computers that are relatively modern, but has a variety of graphical settings you can tweak to make it run well on older computers too. Speaking of graphics, one of the game's most criticized features is that is has "horrible graphics", but honestly it makes the it easier to build and also makes it look like the building blocks you would have played with as a kid. As I said about the graphics making it easier to build, that is important considering one of the main points of the game is building, which has created a large community of Minecraft fans that show off their creations in different places, including YouTube, Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and other popular websites. But if building isn't your thing, there are other plenty of other things to do, like playing on servers with friends, going on long expeditions in your Minecraft world, caving, adventuring, and making awesome Redstone contraptions. So, overall this is an action packed game, while still incorporating building and "electric" circuits.

I would recommend this game.

Hello World

Hello, this is my gaming blog. This will mainly focus on Android and PC, but I will tell if the game is supported on other platforms. I am currently learning HTML, so once I finish with that, I might move this blog to it's own web address.
