New Year's Special! (Call of Duty's Debut!)

Welcome everybody to the Evolution New Year's Special!
I've got a whole lot of games for you this New Year's, so stick around.
Plus, I will be awarding the 2012 Reviewed Evolution Awards!
But first, did you guess the game from last week?

Guess the Game!

It was Rigs of Rods! As stated last week, Rigs of Rods uses a physics engine called Soft Body Physics, so then the cars can bend and crash realistically, better than most driving simulators do. Not only can you drive, you can fly too! Watch the Rigs of Rods Video by Adamzonetopmarks, most commonly known as GameChap & Bertie!

Can you guess the game for today?!

Review: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (Trilogy)
So when Christmas came around, I started thinking to myself I was old enough to play some real shooters. Of course, Call of Duty came to mind. I started playing the original Modern Warfare, I loved it.  

WARNING: Massive profanity will be used during this, as all Call of Duty games are Australian Classified MA-15+

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare took a new feat, with Infinity Ward taking in a setting outside of World War II. Was this a good decision? It certainly had the smarts for Game of the Year in 2007. Set approximately 70 years after the Call of Duty WWII era, you take the position of John 'Soap' MacTavish, a brand new recruit in the SAS for the Second Russian Civil War. Humorously, his new nickname amongst the SAS is F.N.G (Fucking New Guy), Your accomplices; John Price, Gaz and Nikolai set out to assassinate Victor Zakhaev.

During this, you will come across many enemies to run and gun, crouch and knife in certain instances. Killing them will let you move on safely, and will allow your teammates to follow you. In every Call of Duty game, you kill someone, and you are allowed access to their gun. This can be pretty useful, just in case your gun has run out of ammo, or they've left some guns around and you need to blow up their tanks with an RPG.

There can be many waves of baddies, so it can get really shitty for you in the long run. Luckily there are checkpoints after you move up, or take down that helicopter. Still, Infinity Ward gave a great performance, and the voice acting and expression in the AI was just icing off the cake.
I'm giving Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare:
Score: 9/10 Coins
Platforms: PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Wii, DS

 

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a 5-year later scenario, where you play as two characters, mainly Gary 'Roach' Sanderson and James Ramirez. You pick up from where the story does, as Joseph Allen, gone undercover with one of Zakhaev's old assistant/bodyguard; Makarov. However, after a giant massacre at an airport, Makarov shoots Allen in the head, leaving Commander Shepard with the help of Roach and Captain MacTavish, previously playable in the last game. The usual goes the same, but the HUD is actually different. It took me a while to adjust, but the same controls are in play here. A new feature is auto-targeting after using the scope, it will automatically lock on to the next thing in sight that you can shoot. It's all the same, but now is the new 'Spec Ops', a special campaign based on survival of waves of enemies, which you can play with co-op.

It's very much the same, but with the Spec Ops, it adds that special touch. Just like with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare:
Score: 9/10 Coins
Platforms: PS3, Xbox 360, PC

 

Call of Duty: MW3 picks up where the last game does, Soap is injured and you need to play as Yuri, a friend of Nikolai's who hates Makarov enough to kill him. But Yuri has a dark secret too. You also play as an American soldier who are trying to save America from invasion. A good thing that they decided to put in the game is playing with the MI6 in an effort to stop Makarov. It's all very awesome, but many people will be confused by the cutscenes, I pay close attention though. Russia is invading every country in honour of Zakhaev, and this went on in the last game too. I like how the put in some special missions where you go to snipering, and just like in the first Modern Warfare, kill a lot of dogs. I have nothing against dogs, but in this game they complete bastards. But nobody really gives a crap about the single player campaign once they reach the multiplayer. Most of my time however was throwing knives at chickens in cages. Cruel, yes. Fun? Absolutely. It's good for aiming man! Spec Ops makes it's return, and I think it was more intuitive this time around. I'm giving Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3:
Score: 10/10 Coins!

Platforms: PS3, Xbox 360, PC

Unfortunately, pixton.com charges 25 credits of my Pixton coins, and I unfortunately only have 60. Part of the episode is split into 4, see the problem? So, I will link the comics. Sound good? Good! Also, don't click the comics it links the other to. I'm working on that. Enjoy this weeks episode of Respawn!

Respawn: Episode 2-1

Respawn: Episode 2-3

Next Time on Respawn:
Summer misplaces Reece's gaming headphones after borrowing them, and now she's putting on a livestream for fundraising for new headphones. Unfortunately, the people donating thinks she's giving it all to charity. Eric tries to sell her out to the donators before she can raise enough. Can she buy new headphones quick enough? Find out next time on Respawn!

Developement: Rovio
Unlike I said last week about me reviewing some Rovio games, I decided to do a new segment!
Rovio made it strong with the Angry Birds series, flinging birds at pigs, how did they ever come up with this?! Rovio had produced and published games before in the past, but who knows where they came up with Angry Birds from. Bad Piggies is the official spin-off of Angry Birds, taking the pigs point-of-view with constructing safe vehicles. How did they come up with this! Rovio's success with the Angry Birds universe has given them plenty of opportunity's for marketing, fame and most definitely, the money.

Review: Call of Duty: World at War
Treyarch made Call of Duty: World at War from the Modern Warfare gaming engine, but naturally they put their own twist on it. You play as two sides of the perspective of the combatants of World War II; the Russians against the German and the American facing the Japanese. The Russian Soldier; Dimitri is a pretty good sniper, and damn well is favored by his captain/friend. The American Soldier; Miller is mostly good at everything, especially burning things alive with a flamethrower. On hours log, I probably used it for 3 hours. The game is very hard, even on Normal difficulty. This was one of the Call of Duty I couldn't complete. Still, Treyarch did an excellent job, adding in the flamethrower was a very nice touch. Burning down the trees for snipers, or burning the grass for those banzai attackers who try to stab you. Before they try to stab you, stab them with the melee button.

I'm giving Call of Duty: World at War:
Score: 7/10
Platforms: PC, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, Windows Mobile

Review: Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies
Black Ops revealed a reboot of the Nazi Zomies from World at War as a barracading mode. Now it's a sole game on the iOS. Of course, this won't be a thorough review, but the basic premises is to kill the zombies that break in your bunker, and as you kill them, you can earn points for more guns, more areas and more ammo. Once zombies break through, you have to repair the door, but this takes some time, and the zombies might come at you from behind.

I'm giving Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies:
Score: 6.5/10 Coins
Platforms: iOS, Android
Price: $7.49 (iOS), $2.99 (Android)

Game Dictionary for Noobs: Motion Control
Motion control uses motion of you hand or any body part to control what's on screen. The Nintendo Wii was the first console to use a motion controller, and everybody was into it. Soon, the PS3 wanted to make use of that kind of technology. They created a device called the Playstation Move. A glowing orb on top of the motion controller was used to detect the motion itself from the Playstation Eye. The Kinect came along with advanced technology to detect body nodes on a camera. However, this wasn't the first time Motion control had been used like this. On the PS2, a device called the EyeToy had games called EyeToy Play, which used motion capture as a controller.

Did you guess the game for this week?
It was: Amazing Alex! Released earlier this year, Amazing Alex took you in the point of view of Alex, who is a young inventor. The game was created inspired by their own creation. It was also created by Rovio, who was this weeks Development!

Thank you for an awesome few months! Have a happy new year, and may your games be more than a 7 star rating! 2013 will be awesome for games!

What Do YOU Want for Christmas? (2012 Christmas Round-Up)

Hey guys!
What can I say? I've been looking through some games for you guys and you expect me to post every day? Well today is the day that they say the world will end, but I say that's bull! If the world does end though, might as well round-up the gaming year! Today on the blog, we're looking at Wonderbook: Book of Spells, on the PS3, and we take a look at some iOS games! We'll be looking also at some new segments today, and maybe some of these games today will be on your Christmas wish-list!

Guess the Game!
So gamers, try and guess the game for next week on the show on the New Year's special reveal! Try and guess what game is there on the post right next to this segment. Want a hint? Here's one!
HINT: This game uses soft-body physics.
Hope that information was good for you!

Now, time for the review of an iOS game!

Review: iOS Shooters
The Respawnables is a brand new FPS that is perfect for some 12 year olds to play with. Created by Zynga, The Respawnables is available on the iOS scene and I've been screwing around with some grenades on it like crazy! The best thing about it is it's free! There are a few problems with the game, such as unlocking new battlefields, which will take a large update for the Apple device, it will take several hours to complete, so it makes the game less enjoyable. The aim of the game is more of a run and gun, your only objective is to kill everybody, trust no-one.

You will re-spawn automatically after you get killed, and they are pretty lethal. If you are one of those Call of Duty addicts, this might be the easy practice for you. As you progress through the game, you'll unlock special missions that can be pulled out during your gunning rampage. As well as this, you'll unlock brand new weapons that can be equipped, and this goes well if your up against someone with a machine gun, or if you want to detonate dynamite. However this goes very hard when they move around so damn fast trying to kill you.

When your in hot pursuit of a kill, the reality of reloading your ammo is almost instantaneous. Instead of having to tap a button, it's completely instant so it's easier for you to flee. The Respawnables is a great shooter for some kids, and I love the visual effects when you blow up something. I give The Respawnables: 
Score: 7.5/10 Coins.
Price: Free

 

Now it's time to take a look at: Block Ops

It's time to survive a blocky FPS, that at first sight, looks pretty crap. But as you delve deeper, you'll find that although it looks very grotesque in visual effects, the gameplay is more confusing as ever. I bought this game on the iPhone expecting something good on reviews, but the gameplay is harder to handle. A sniper position is better than The Respawnables, but I found that a bad thing either way. It makes it much harder to kill the other team. But soon I got stuck into the game for you guys, and I actually quite enjoyed it! It's easier when you've got your experience into Block Ops, and although a short review, the gunning was quite awesome, so I give Block Ops:

Score: 6.5/10 Coins

Price: $1.99

  

Now some sniping gameplay by some dude on YouTube!

 

What Ever Happened To..........Pac-Man (Atari 2600)

Pac-Man was one of the most highly anticipated arcade games of all time, so they thought they could have more fun playing it at home without paying another cent? WRONG. The Atari's port of Namco's arcade classic was given only a few weeks of development, a major factor that contributed to the US video game marketing crash of 1983. The same happened to E.T The Extra Terrestrial. Many cartridges were refunded and were one of the games that lost Atari $500k.

Review: Book of Spells

Wonderbook: Book of Spells is released content of the Harry Potter series from J.K. Rowling herself, released on the PS3. What sets this game apart is what you do with it. At E3 this year, Playstation revealed a brand new technology, the Wonderbook. This book uses Augmented Reality, which makes the book and the Playstation Move to life. If you have a Pottermore account, you are given the opportunity to link the rightful house you were chosen, and the wand that chose you months ago. I enjoyed waving my wand around, Aguamenti was the most fun. 

Infamous witch Miranda Goshawk has left a Book of Spells for young wizards and witches to explore and learn in her five chapter anthology of magic. The narrator voice-over helps you out along the way as your guide, first picking a house and a wand. I linked my Pottermore account to the game, so it automatically transformed my Playstation Move to a Harry Potter wand. How cool is that! My move controller was actually just come out of the big bundle, so it broke the illusion slightly with the cable coming out of my wand. If your a giant Harry Potter fan and you dedicated to learn every spell, you might get through this under 5 hours to complete. It felt a bit short to me, but I think it's because I was having so much fun I broke out of a magical trance. Still though, the new technology works brilliantly, and I can't wait to see how the next game is going to play out. I give Book of Spells:

Score: 9.5/10 Coins

Price: $45 (Wonderbook+Game) or $68 (Wonderbook+Game+Playstation Move)

 

Game Dictionary for Noobs: Rage Quit

Rage quitting is one of the most common cases in gaming, most arguably in shooters. Rage quit means that a person has no self control over their actions in a video game, such as when they die, they have a gigantic fit. Rage quit comes in all sorts of gaming, whether losing against that last boss over and over again, or dying with valuable items in Minecraft. If your calm, you'll probably only have one rage quit in your life, but if you are angry on an almost regular basis, you might be rage quitting more than you should.

A video of a dude playing The Impossible Game on the Xbox 360 doing a rage quit.  

WARNING: If you have a problem with mild language, you have been warned.    

Review: Need for Speed Most Wanted (iOS)

Need for Speed is one of the greatest racing car driver game of all time, and as we approach more excellent games on the iOS, we see Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Just like any other port of Need for Speed, it's the same basic goal that you would see, becoming the best driver ever! By the looks of this game, it is essentially the same game you would see on console with minor tweaks. For example, after you finish a race, you are taken straight to the main menu. This is intuitive however, it's better if you stop driving after a race, especially if your still in a police car chase, which happens a lot in the console version.

I love how you have the choice to use the touch screen controls, or using some motion controls by tilting the iOS device back and forth.

The game runs quite smoothly and is looks much better than Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. As my first Need for Speed game, this is one of the best, highly recommend it for the devices. I give Need for Speed: Most Wanted:

Score: 10/10 Coins

Price: $0.99

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:
Welcome everybody to Gamer News! In this weeks Gamer News, if your in Australia like me, EB Games is having a huge online sale! Mad Monday is the name, total sales are the game! Literally almost everything is on sale! EB World Members, check your emails because it's bam, bam, bam when you see what's on sale! The Hobbit movie is nearing the cinemas very soon and Steam has announced The Lord of the Rings Online for Mac users! If your an avid collector of The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings, you'll be hooked, it's Free to Play!

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!!!!!

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Hey Gamers!
If you like Final Fantasy, then you probably would know about the Kingdom Hearts series! Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance has a heck of a long title, but the series has gotten off with a big bang on the Nintendo 3DS. With the 3D feature of the Nintendo 3DS, you can see how much depth goes into the game. Kingdom Hearts 3D takes place in Sora and Riku's Mark of Mastery Exam to become true Keyblade masters. Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts are very confusing in a lot of instances. The Mark of Mastery Exam takes place in Worlds that are in sleep, and it's your job to cleanse the worlds using your Keyblade, a blade that's shaped like a key, which can overcome the darkness and rebuild light.

During this exam, Sora and Riku are not aided by each other, instead you discover you won't be alone for this journey anymore. Dream Eaters are the creatures of the game that are not only your primary enemy, but also your ally. There are two types of Dream Eater; Spirit and Nightmare. The Spirits are your allies and you can customize them to your liking. There is also a petting part of the game to gain trust of the Spirit Dream Eaters. Kingdom Hearts 3D saw the new feature of Flowmotion, interaction with the game's environment got a lot easier, but it also made level design pretty useless because you can just wall jump your way up and scale every wall.

Dream Drop Distance has it's meanings. Dream means the Dream Worlds (the sleeping worlds). Drop means the new Drop system alternating between Sora and Riku. Distance means...well I have no idea but it probably connects to the Drop part of the name.

The game also saw the return of Traverse Town as a Dream World. It is very confusing, because this is an alternate Traverse Town as opposed to the Traverse Town in the original Kingdom Hearts. Phew! But anyways, there is a cute little Battle Mode for the Dream Eaters where you can face somebody else in a battle. This utilizes a card turn-based system. It get's very confusing, but it has a guide to it if you don't know what your doing. Along with Traverse Town's return, there are new Worlds that are based off recent or old Disney movies.

Worlds like La Cite Des Cloches that is in France, based off the movie The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Prankster's Paradise from Pinocchio. And also The Grid from Tron: Evolution. The Kingdom Hearts series, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for since I was 5 years old. If your new to the series, this will be the game in the series to convert you. And if you're addicted the series like me then of course your going to like it. I'm rating Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance:

10/10 Coins!
10/10 is a first to the blog!! Time to celebrate, every review post from now on will feature a whole episodes worth!

Chobots

Hello Gamers!
Chobots.Net is an MMORPG that started off as a branch from the Chobots game which released in June 2008 as an alpha stage. Chobots.Com was loved by fans for four years, until a group of hackers seriously damaged Chobots purity. Vayersoft, the creators of Chobots were forced to shut down the game on August 8th 2011. But some of these staff and players were determined to keep the game running once more. Chobots.Net was created on October 2011 as a closed beta, soon in open beta. After four months of development and testing, Chobots.Net was officially released on January 2012.

I've played more than a year of the game, and I've been really addicted. As opposed to Club Penguin's membership, Chobots.Net's form of membership is called Citizenship. These include 1 month, 6 month and 12 month Citizenship with a plan. This means that there are items and money (called Bugs) included when buying. Along with that is the $hop where you can buy items, playercard colors, chat bubble colors and character bodies that you can buy with RL (Real-Life) cash.

Of course it can be impossible if your about 13 years old to ask your parents if they can open their Pay-Pal accounts to buy something. Earlier this month, Chobots introduced a brand new system with Auto-renewal of citizenship and Manual renewal. Auto-renewal means that it will automatically renew your citizenship every month your citizenship expires, and will give you the items of that month it renews. But back to the actual game itself. Moderators are constantly active to keep Chobots safe, and to satisfy their players, Chobots hold parties with item rain. Item rain is literally an ITEM RAIN! It's crazy, but this is one of the most popular things to do on Chobots. Agents definitely aren't like Club Penguin agents, because although they do get awesome stuff becoming an agent, Agents on Chobots take their role very seriously.

If they don't do their job, they can lose their Agent badge. That's right, BADGES! There are 4 badges that you can currently get on Chobots, but of course, not all at once. There is the Citizenship badge to identify a Citizen. Along with that to identify, they have clothing that is only available for them to wear, and they have green chat. There is the Agent badge to identify an Agent. The agents have a blue chat to easily recognize if you need any help. Most definitely, you can see which agent is on a leaderboard on their badge. Of course, this isn't exactly to see who is better. There is a Moderator badge to of course, identify a moderator. Each moderator has a specific job, such as the Designer mod who designs everything that's on Chobots, and the Support mod who manages the Support email. Yes, you can email the Chobots staff with fan art, anything. And they will respond within 24 hours. Very dedicated, yes. Last of all but not least, is the Journalist badge. Journalists are who advertise Chobots through their blogs. They design very well, and post very often.

On Chobots is a drawing underground, where Citizens, Agents and Artists can draw! You may be asking what an Artist is. An Artist is somebody who can draw very well IRL (in real life) and in-game. They are given recognition and can be recognizable if they wear a paintbrush or a paintbrush shirt. There is magic on Chobots too! Magic can do all sorts of things, like change a Chobot into a GIANT Chobot, or even have a balloon on their heads! There are multiple mini-games on Chobots that you can play, where there can be contests! Contests, yes. There are even multiple contests that you can enter, like a video contest (ASK YOUR PARENTS KIDDO) or a poetry contest!

There are so many other things on Chobots, like ROBOT BATTLES! Sounds awesome right? Yeah, kind of not. There are levels of your Robot and Robot teams. It sounds very cool, but after you play a while, it actually turns into a total dud. After a while, it becomes a struggle for defense and attack, in a turn based system on random. However, you can buy upgrades and perks for your robot with in-game cash, which becomes a real boredom for people who can't buy it. Overall, Chobots.Net stays very true to the legacy about five years ago when Chobots first started, and it's evolving every moment with new moderators coming in, and it's great how you can apply for a spot, but most of the time they'll ask you for more experience. I rate Chobots.Net:

9/10 Coins
And now, the citizenship trailer by former Designer: LBP!

Club Penguin: Game Day!

Hey Gamers!
If you are an avid fan of Club Penguin, you would know that Club Penguin: Game Day was released in September 2010 on the Nintendo Wii. This is the first Wii game for Club Penguin. Game Day includes 13 mini-games. The goal of the game is to conquer Club Penguin in one of 4 coloured teams; Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. The mini-games are quite enjoyable, good for 6+ aged children. There is also a Dance mini-game, which I had a soft spot in my heart for. I do find it extremely hard to use the Wii Remote in this instance, because dancing uses your whole body and it seemed practical to use a Kinect sensor, but because the Kinect wasn't around earlier in 2010, we can expect some Club Penguin games coming out on other consoles, but it's not likely. Anyways, back to the game itself.

In each famous Club Penguin locations of the map, there are different areas that include mini-games, but also Zone Challenges, to take over each zone. After you complete each zone, you will be able to go to other teams, the whole island reverting back to each team, as if it never happened. Club Penguin also holds a sticker book, which are like achievements. Game Day is one of them, and you can transfer your achievements from Game Day into stickers. Plus, the game also includes a coin code for 2,500 coins on your Club Penguin account if you bought the game new. The game appealed to me 2 years ago when I was really into Club Penguin, and it really brought back some old childhood memories that I became really fond of. If your a kid and you love Club Penguin, get Game Day brand new from the shops for some coins and a lot of fun.

If your new to the game, this can really hook you, but maybe after a while playing the game it can get really disappointing, especially if you've completed the game like a BOSS. I give Club Penguin: Game Day:

7.5/10 Coins

May all of your games be to your favor!

Subway Surfers

Hey Gamers!
Today's gaming review is Subway Surfers! This Temple Run like game is great for 4+ aged kids on the iOS and Android devices. Kiloo have made it totally big with Subway Surfers. The basic goal is to alternate between 3 tracks on the subway, while navigating the player in between obstacles.
May 24th 2012 saw the release of the game, and utilizes the Game Center leaderboard, to challenge all of your friends to make it to the top.

I see that a lot of games are now using Game Center for some friendly competition.
