Episode 1 (BUT PROBABLY THE ONLY)

Hey Gamers!
This may be strange, because an episode is usually a video or a podcast, but this is BLOG Episode 1! Yep, that's right. You may be spending 20-30 minutes soaked into today's Episode!


Gamer News:

Review - Super Scribblenauts:
Super Scribblenauts is the sequel to Scribblenauts, originating on the Nintendo DS. If you don't know what Scribblenauts is, it gives you a magic notebook where you can create objects, just as long as you don't fill the meter to high! From giant robots to tiny dinosaurs, you have to use your vocabulary and creativity to get yourself into an objective success! If you use adjectives, it makes it more better for the notebook to recognize what you want. However, Super Scribblenauts has a few flaws. A LOT of bugs in fact. In one stage, you had to dress up Maxwell in four different items. But the last item wouldn't negotiate with the theme!

It's that part of the review that you ask about the game!
This one is from Hammerhead27: How many levels are there in Super Scribblenauts? 

Thanks for the question Hammerhead. Super Scribblenauts has 121 levels, with 7 secret levels if you get glued in. But even though it has so many levels, if you're attached to your DS with a lot of vocabulary, it can take about one day to complete or so.  

The last one is from bluepursuit101: What age do you think the game is aimed for?

Well bluepursuit101, Super Scribblenauts is aimed for all ages, but I think it truly shines with younger gamers at 7 years old. Of course, they don't know that much vocabulary so it's more for 10 or 12 year olds.

Super Scribblenauts is fun, but also a letdown. Scribblenauts Unlimited looks great and has a better storyline then any other Scribblenauts will be because it reveals Maxwell's dark past. I'm giving Super Scribblenauts:

5.5/10 Coins

 

Game Dictionary for Noobs - DLC:
When we think DLC, sometimes we think it's called Downloadable Character if it has a character pack in it. WRONG. If your a noob, you would think wrong. If your not, and you think that's what it stands for, your a NOOB.  DLC actually stands for Downloadable Content. Whenever a game is released, sometimes a DLC is packaged with it for more marketing appeal. I've been pulled into this many times. A few months ago I bought Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and it included a DLC with it. One thing you'll think in an instant is, I WANT, I WANT. Sometimes, a DLC is already on a disc, but they make you pay extra to unlock it. AS IF. 

They'll always pull you into a new buy, unless you know what your doing. Sometimes DLC will get you into a Micro-Transaction. We'll talk about them in a later episode. DLC will always be here, no matter how much we may hate them.

Review - Minecraft:
The much anticipated indie title have captured the computers of all gamers alike. Minecraft is a blocky indie-title created by a company named Mojang in Sweden. The blocky world gave immense joy where you could build your hearts content. Minecraft has been frequently updated by the developers and they give a great update each one. The next update is fireworks! 

But sometimes you can get very lonely because you'll find that your cat and wolf companions aren't enough. Very soon though, you might come across a server in Multiplayer that you can just hang out with your friends and mine together, trying to scrounge around for just enough diamond to get that full set, or even get that Enderman and Blaze to make it to, The End. The End is the home of the Enderman, a creature that draws inspiration from The Slenderman. Minecraft is full of creatures to discover, and with every new update comes a new adventure, and a new build. I'm giving it:

8.5/10 Coins


Arcade Pick of the Week - Fruit Ninja FX
It's that time now for the Arcade Pick of the Week, where I give my impressions on arcade games. Fruit Ninja FX is essentially the same game as the iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7 versions, but on the Arcade scene. The basic goal is the same as the smaller screens' Arcade mode are, avoid hitting any bombs or risk losing points. A basic short review because it is essentially the same game, and it's not really fair to rate a game that's a bigger port from something we've seen before, and I'm reviewing Fruit Ninja soon so, I'm giving it:

6.5/10 Coins

 

Thanks for reading! Don't forget to look out for the next episode! Hey, cut me some slack. These episodes are getting me totally out of free time to even play them! I might just revert back to the old thing that I did, but just....I DON'T KNOW!!!!!
