Hey everyone, just got back from playing Pokemon Dash. I'll just be quickly talking about the game. So basically, this game is a racing game in which you start off playing with Pikachu, and you race against a number of Pokemon. The aim of the game is to run over selected Pokemon spots which light up(sort of like flags), and you need to run in the order of the Pokeballs. You cannot just select any one, you must go towards the direction of the arrows which guide you.
Overall the game does take some getting used to. I had to use the restart button multiple times in the beginning. I think the game would be a lot more fun if you didn't have to use the stylus as this sort of affects game play, as you need to keep moving your stylus in the direction you want to move. If the game allowed for users to use the arrow keys instead for movement then it would have been a lot more better I think anyway. Also the use of the stylus could lead to scratch marks on the screen eventually, and wear the screen out(luckily I have a pre-owned DS on hand) Actually there's a stage in the game where you need to fly using balloons and find the pokeball you're supposed to land on. I got angry and quit the game because I could't figure it out yet haha, so that's a minus from this game.
Overall I know the game is fun and will kill quite a lot of time, unfortunately it is time I can't kill as I needs to study right now but I think the game does have quite a few ideas which the developers could develop into a better game for later on(3DS??). It's not your normal sort of racing game similar to Mario Kart etc so it is something different which I like. Overall I would give this game a 4/10. I probably wouldn't buy it if you are not a Pokemon fan. I myself bought it just for a collection, and it was pretty cheap. Hope this review was interesting and helps in your decisions. Well until next time, bye!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (3DS Game Review)
Hey everyone, I finally got a chance to play the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game and honestly I can't say much about it. Each section is split up into different parts of a story?? and you go around fighting ninjas etc. Each stage unlocks the next in the story. To be honest the game got really repetitive for me, even the characters say the same thing over and over when they fight. There was only two sorts of characters you fight(at least for the first stage), they were ninjas and blue ninjas which looked like Utroms. Yea anyway, as for the fighting, you can play as one of the 4 turtles and switch whenever, there's not much to the fighting too, as you have one set of moves, a special move which has a limit, and a move where you can throw the baddies once in a while into a bin or on the screen. Anyway, all in all I don't really enjoy this game, not quite sure if I'll keep playing, but I can see why I it was so cheap. I'd have to give it a 3/10, there has been better TMNT games, and to be honest, I was more of a fan of the 4 Kids series, but I haven't seen this series yet so I'll need to soon! Anyway, I can't guarantee that you'll like this game, maybe watch some game play videos first before you try the game out! Until next time, bye!

Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS (Game Review)
Hey everyone, 99th post!!!!! I feel like I should be doing a special post for my 100th but there's not much to do anything special. Today I got Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS in the mail today, so I decided to play for a couple of minutes. Because I only played for a little while, I haven't really seen too much of the game yet, but I tried a mission(event?) mode, sorry I can't remember the name, but I tried that first and seriously I have no idea what is going on! It's like the adventure mode from the Wii, but it includes a face off with some CPU characters at the end, and at one point I had to destroy some crystals. I had no idea what was happening.
At this very moment, I like the character roster, but I'm very unused(right spelling??) to the controls, I kept pressing the wrong buttons to jump and attack. I think because I'm so used to the Wii. The characters/ graphics remind me of a DS or Advanced game for some reason. At this very moment, I'm not a big fan of the 3DS version of the game yet, and I won't place a rating quite yet. I shall do a more in depth review at a later point.

Dance Party: Club Hits (PS2 Game Review)
So yea, I played about two songs and realised the problem straight away.... I didn't have the right mat.
So I bought this game from FishPond, and it said it came with a mat, though after around 2 weeks the game came, but no mat, but I decided to play anyway. What sets this game apart from the usual DDR games is that there are diagonal arrows, not just vertical and horizontal arrows. The design is completely different too. The arrows are placed around in a circle, and the arrows move from the inside to the outside. I actually think this design is easier to see, but I find it harder to get the timing right, and almost always miss a step or two.
Music wise, to start off there's only a small selection of songs which I don't know, but are club sort of songs I guess, and the animations in the background are just people dancing haha. I myself prefer the usual DDR type of games, and find them more fun, but it's worth a try anyway if you haven't played it before. Well until next time, bye!

Dance Factory (PS2 Game Review)
Hey everyone, over the next few days I'll probably be reviewing quite a few DDR type games, and if you read one of my reviews a few weeks ago, you'll know why.
Here's an overview. So in these type of games, you follow on screen and step to the music and follow the arrows. For this game Dance Factory, the difference is that you can use your own CDs to dance too, but there are 5 default tracks that you can dance to.
The down sides to this game is that the arrows are so spaced out in solo mode, making it harder to see the steps, also the flashing arrows and backgrounds can be a problem, making it hard to see what steps to take. Also I find normal mode very hard, in fact easy is around normal in the usual DDR.
I can't say much about this game but I'd give it a 7/10. I like how you can use your own music, but it'd be cool if it could save tracks because you need to keep swapping discs and load the songs.

Cooking Mama 2 (DS Game Review)
Hey everyone! I'll be quickly reviewing the game Cooking Mama 2. So if you've played the first game, then just to let you know, there's not much of a difference, though almost all the sequels are similar, though I think some of the latest releases are more 3D.
As the game suggests, you cook different dishes by preparing ingredients and cooking them with a time limit. If you do it within a certain time limit then you get a bonus reward which is a star. 5 stars(I think, though it could be more) and you get to pick out of 3 presents. Sometimes you'll get nothing, and sometimes yo get a little prize.
Each new dish completed unlocks a new dish, until they're all unlocked. You get a score out of 100(which is a gold), silver, bronze, or broken medal depending on how well you cooked. If you do a bad job for one step, then Mama fixes it for you.
Overall I find the game really fun, but it can destroy your DS screen if you're not careful so watch out for that! Depending on what dishes you cook, the steps can be a bit repetitive, but I can play this game for many hours on end!
I give this game a 7/10, why not play it some time? It's pretty fun, and it's one of my childhood games!! Well until next time, bye!

Pokemon Art Academy (3DS Game Review)
Hello everybody, today I will be reviewing the Pokemon Art Academy game on 3DS. The thing is that I've only played around an hour, so this is my perspective while initially watching this game.
So as the title suggests, in art academy what you do is draw Pokemon step by step, starting with the outlines, then colouring in. If you're like me, and are really bad at drawing , then this is the game for you to start of your Pokemon drawing journey!! There are a few Pokemon faces that you can select and draw first, one of them I drew was a Pikachu, and a Piplup.
To be honest, after I drew one Pokemon, I realised how much the guy talks so much in between each step! I actually find it annoying and would rather him not talk so that I can just go and learn how to draw!!
For the moment anyway, I feel like this is more of a colouring in book in which you just trace Pokemon in, but I heard that as the drawings get more complicated, it gets harder to draw the Pokemon, so I think that I need to play more of this game to get a overall rating. But for a temporary rating, I'd have to give it a 6.5/10. I really like the idea of learning how to draw Pokemon though. I wouldn't recommend this game if you don't like drawing or learning how to draw Pokemon as this would not be the game for you. That is all for now, goodnight!

Dancing Stage MegaMix (PS2 Game Review)
My cousin got me back into the game again, DDR.... What is DDR?? Dance Dance Revolution, a series produced by Konami. Dancing Stage MegaMix is part of the series. All you do in the game is follow the arrows on screen (Up, Down, Left, Right) and you have a dance pad where you press those keys on, so you"dance" by pressing on the keys.
This particular game has quite a few tracks which have taken my particular liking, and the game can get pretty addictive. I've played on hours on end before. I'm quite eager to play right now but the problem has to do with the mats. They don't quite last long enough. There are metal ones to buy but they are more expensive and at the moment, you can only find them online I think, though PS2 has already become obsolete so everything is becoming harder to find.
My rating is 8/10, these DDR games are so much fun, and with 2 players, it can be pretty fun, especially for parties. Practice does make perfect as you start off from beginner, and work your way up to Ultra Hard mode! Try it out some time!! Until then... Bye!

Super Pokemon Rumble (3DS Review)
Hi everyone! Today I will quickly talk about Super Pokemon Rumble on 3DS. So in this game, Pokemon are windup toys. In this game, you go through various stages, and basically attack different Pokemon and make new "friends". You can then use the new friend you make to attack. For each section of the game, you make stronger and stronger friends, so the more friends you make, the more powerful you get. There's a few sections int he game where you need to do requests where you need to collect items by finishing a tournament thing.
Overall, the story line is very spaced out, and the game gets repetitive, but I really like the game. It's quite different to your usual Pokemon game, but I'd have to say that it's more closer related to the rescue team games. I'd have to give this game a 7.5 out of 10. There's plenty to do, as long as you don't mind repetition.

DragonBall Z Raging Blast 2 (PS3 Game Review)
So today I decided to play the game DragonBall Z Raging Blast 2 on PS3 for around an hour to see what the game was like. Like my previous reviews, I just talk about my thoughts on the game, that's all.
So what do you do in this game?? Well.... it's a 3D fighting game which means that there's a 3D look to all the characters. There's a few different modes you can play in. One I played was Galaxy Mode, which is basically story mode, but I have to say that for story mode, there's not much of a story going on, just fighting really. I tried out some of the other modes, and you guessed it, fighting!! But I'm not just saying this just because, but I feel like the game is a bit repetitive.
It's different to your usual Tekken, or Street Fighter definitely, though for some reason the health bar brings me back to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Kingdom Hearts. Talking about the health bar, it confused me a bit, until I really took notice of it. When your health bar reaches empty, it automatically fills up again. I had to stare at it for a while before it made sense, so you and your opponent get 3 or four dots(maybe more when you go further in the game), and for each time you or your opponent reaches zero health, one dot disappears and the health fills again, so in actual fact, you stick around until all the dots disappear and the health is empty!! I think this is the first time I've seen something like this before so it's sort of a shock lol.
While you're fighting, I find the moves a bit repetitive. I just press square multiple times, and or press triangle, or mix triangle and square to attack. I don't think there's much of a move set so the game feels a bit repetitive which is a down side of this game. A sort of cool thing is that once you clear a stage, you unlock some sort of award or item or something. Sometimes you unlock pictures(which I think are just stills from the TV show lol).
I have played some Dragon Ball Z games in the past, and I don't think there's much difference between those games and this one. You still just fight opponents, there's not much to it(at least for what I've played so far). A cool thing which they always put in is the interactive loading screens. In this game you just press buttons which show up on screen. Not as fun as the flying Roshi in one of the previous games!!
I give this game a 6/10. I mean it's not bad, and it's entertained me for at least an hour so it's ok. I think they could have worked on a better story though, that would have made the game very exciting. I think that if you have any of the other Dragon Ball Z games and are thinking of buying this one, then maybe only buy it if it's on sale, or if you're a collector or something, because I don't see the point on buying this game really, unless you want to try out a DBZ game!!!
So that's all really. This game does have multi-player mode I believe so I think it could be fun to play with friends or family. That's all for this review!

Tekken 1 (Game Review)
Today I will be reviewing the Tekken 1 Game which I bought maybe 2 months ago. I didn't grow up playing this game so I don't have any views from back then, plus I wasn't even born when it was first released!! I'm a huge Tekken fan, and first played back in around 2005, the game was Tekken Tag Tournament, but I will not be talking about that game today. Tekken 1 was included in the arcade mode of Tekken 5, and I did have a play around when I first got the game in 2006. All I can say is that it was hard and frustrating!
So Tekken 1, this was the first game in the series. First released for the PS1, and can now be downloaded from the PSN. Before playing for the first time I actually had a few ideas in mind on what would actually be in the console version of the game, but was a bit disappointed when I realised that there was only arcade and vs mode which is basically the same as the one on arcade mode on Tekken 5.
I actually have no idea how people managed to play this game. The first time I played this on easy mode, I had to switch characters 4-6 times at the minimum before finishing arcade mode and watching the movie. The secret is to just do the jump kick!!! Works almost every time(for Tekken 2 too!).
After going through Arcade mode a few times, I started wondering why the other characters wern't unlocking. Turns out that you need to unlock Heihachi first, and to do that you need to be able to complete the game in under 5 minutes and 30 seconds, and you must do that without any continues! Though I can't confirm that you need to do both things as many sites differ to what you actually need to do. But either way, it's pretty impossible.
In terms of how the characters move, they jump too high(which is later fixed in Tekken 3), and the characters move too slow, and take a long time to get up. Nina needs to take two steps before doing her arm chop move(which is one of my favourites). Almost all characters have very limited combo moves, with a lot of just arm punches and kicking.
I have to say though, for a game created over 20 years ago, the people who created the game did pretty well considering. I can see why it got such great reviews back then, but now if you released a game like that, it'd probably get a 0 or 1 out of 10 so I can't give this game a score as I've been influenced by the 21st century!

Candy Crush (Game Review)
Sorry, I've been busy working today, then went out to dinner and only came back recently. The only thing I've played today is Candy Crush, so I shall review this game today!
So what is Candy Crush? It is an app game which you can play on Facebook, or on a smartphone or Ipod/ IPad etc. So what do you do? Well there are different levels you complete, by connecting 3 candies together to remove it. Connect more than 3, and the candy turns into a special type of candy, but I won't go into details there.
They brought in a separate owl level maybe half a year ago?? I have to say that the owl level is really annoying as you need to balance the owl so that it doesn't fall off the moon(once you play you'll get what I mean)
Currently I'm past lvl 200 and closing in on the 300's. What I like about this game is that once you get into it, it gets addicting. I play maybe at least 30 mins per day. Often before I sleep and while I'm waiting, or to pass the time. It's addicting as you just want to finish all the levels, then you ca just stop lol. That's what I'm doing anyway, but the thing is that the levels get harder and harder.
Usually there's times where you get stuck on a level for a month before you pass by luck, or by using the lollipop hammer(smash a candy you want to get rid of without losing a move). Come to mention it, I forgot to talk about moves, so you get a number of moves in the game, and once you reach 0, you lose. Complete the game objective(e.g remove the jelly or get so and so points) withing the moves amount and you win.
So I don't want to talk too much as you can play to find out how the game is if you haven't played it, but is it worthwhile to download and play? Only if you want to occasionally play to pass time. If you're one of those people who get addicted easily then don't waste your time and play it, use your time for something else.
My score would be 7 out of 10. I have to say though that it does get addicting. I'd love it if you could pass chapters more easily though as either you need to ask 3 Facebook friends for a pass, or complete 3 challenges in 3 days. The game actually isn't that original, as I've seen similar games though, but this has grabbed the attention of many.

Big Brain Academy (Game Review)
Ok, so in the last post I mentioned that I just received this game along with some others. I will now review Big Brain Academy for DS. So what is this game about? Well as the title suggests, in the game you test your brain through various categories which are...
1. Think
2. Memorize
3. Compute
4. Analyze
5. Identify
I have to say that I'm only good at Identify and Memorize, while I'm really bad at the thinking part at the moment. But anyway in this game you test your abilities by doing the 5 categories, so you could be finding the heaviest object, matching objects, counting, memorizing stuff etc, and at the end of this test, your points are added up and your brain gets weighed, and you get a score. At the start I was a D+, but now I'm a C- haha. You do all 5 things to get a score but after that you can just do each separate category to help improve for next time.
This game offers a multiplayer mode, if your friends have the game. I think it's the sort of game where you want to vs your friends and family and try and beat them. I think it'd be cool if you could vs people online, but obviously this is not a feature in the game, but it is a DS game after all.
For $5 at Mighty Ape, it was a bargain, that was one of my incentives to buy this game, also that I wanted to buy a DS game which I could play daily to help give my brain a workout. If you want to give your brain a workout, then this is the game for you! There used to be a PlayFish game on Facebook called "Who has the Biggest Brain?!" and I have to say that many of the questions are the same, but this DS game offers a lot more variety, so you're not doing the same activities over and over again.
I have to say that I wouldn't play this game hours on end though, but will play it occasionally everyday. What would I rate this game? Maybe a 7? I can't say there's anything wrong with this game at all. It's not your usual game that most people play on a DS though, I feel like it could almost be an app.
That's all for this review, hope you enjoyed!

Sight Training (Game Review)
Before I start this post I would like to say one thing. I've bought my first warped disc! I'm currently trying to flatten it out by placing some weights on top of it to try and flatten it out(hope it helps), otherwise I probably need to return it back to Hong Kong @@, it was only like $7 NZD so I think I can forget about it if I need to pay postage.
Anyway, my packages from Mighty Ape arrived today! I bought Jak and Daxter and also God of War Ghost of Sparta for PSP and also Big Brain Academy and Sight Training for Nintendo DS. I'll review the PSP games at a later date when I manage to play them but first I would like to talk about Sight Training. Big Brain Academy will go on my next post.
Anyway first, I have to say for $5, it's quite worth it, though it was a daily deal so you can't find it at that price now days. So what is this Sight Training? Well as the game title suggests, the game tests your eyes out with 5 different visual ability games which are...
1. Momentary Vision
2. Hand-Eye Co-ordination
3. Peripheral Vision
4. Eye Movement
5. Dynamic Visual Acuity
I wouldn't call this a game really, but just fun exercises to help train your eyes in the 5 areas. As I'm currently short sighted, I thought maybe it could help my eyes adjust, and also as I suffer from motion sickness, I thought maybe it could help me from not getting sick so easily as I believe that it's all to do with my eyes.
Anyway, I tried the game out today and basically all you do is training exercises to help strengthen your eyes through different mini games and activities/ tests. It's more of a thing you want to do daily, than actually play for a long time which sets itself different from the usual DS games that I play.
I really hope that this game helps out my sight. I might post after a month or two to tell you about my results from this game. It's good as you get to track your records of how far you have gotten and improved(or not if you're doing bad). I currently have the eyes of a 50 year old (apparently lolz).
One thing I have to say though, the text takes so long to read, I want to just skim and read quickly, but you have to wait for the text to type out, then press the green button to go next to read more!
Currently, my favourite is the boxing game! It's so fun!!! Try it out some time if you feel like it. For $5 is was worth it I think! It will definitely be more of a daily ritual, but I wouldn't play it for hours on end. The game is nicely structured and I don't think there's any problems with the game at all. I can't say much about the graphics because it is a DS game.
On an added note, usually after working your eyes, you get to relax them through a relaxing exercise with your eyes :) Do I need to rate this game?? Maybe a 7?? It's not bad, and I won't get bored if I spend 10 or so minutes per day doing this, so yep, that's all folks!
