Gardening mama…lol

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

Well what is this I’ve just played? Gardening mama, relative of cooking mama? yes. I don’t like it! DX

Let me not be too mean about this game, it’s not terrible, but then again, I’m trying to speak from the point of view of your run-of-the-mill ten year old girl. Sure it’s okay for kids who are easilly entertained, but for me it was both too easy and uber confusing. For example, one of the ‘missions’ is to shovel soil, it’s as simple as putting the shovel into the soil and taking it out again, sounds easy enough? yeah? wrong, ’cause then it asks you to shovel to different sizes…WTH? I don’t know how to do that, geez.

But I dunno, maybe someone who looks at things more simply would understand how to do such a thing, Well honestly, I didn’t play more than 2 or 3 ‘missions’ so I don’t even have much to right about this game, but I’ll leave you with one thing. Don’t buy this for yourself, buy it for a kid of 4 to 9 years old. Seriously, it’s boring unless you’re a kid.

Possibly even boring for a kid. >_>

POKEMON I LOVE YOU!

Okay, remember that whole rant I did about how Pokemon is advancing too fast for me to deal with and all that jazz. Well, I take it back! The winds have changed, even if only for a generation! Gold and Silver are coming back for seconds, only this time on the DS in the form of Pokemon heart gold and soul silver! I have yet to get together all the details but announcements concerning it have been made, it wont be released anytime soon, but it will be released and that’s what’s important!

I’m so seriously exited about this guys, if anyone were to ask me my favourite gameboy game it would no doubt be Pokemon silver, it had graphics that owned Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, it had music that made me feel giddy and it had neat gadgets that my little gaming brain just adored. But most importantly it had all the Pokemon I knew and loved. The original 150 that I could identify by name and number, and the additional 100 that were just too new and awesome to reject, before it went to far.

All the new systems had been introduced, eggs, Pokemon breeding, and the radio. The Johto region and the Kanto region that made the game twice as long as it’s younger siblings, while keeping that familiarity of here I’d been before. The whole time thing with the day and night stuff, the berries, pockets in bags!

omg excuse me, I just adore Pokemon silver, you can be assured I’ll get a hold of should silver the moment I can. hmm…now that I think of it, I don’t know what makes me like silver so much more than gold, but that’s a different story.

Thanks for reading my craziness guys, bai bai now. X3

P.S. any spelling mistakes courtesy of my sister’s proof reading, since she read it and said it was fine. lol

Grand theft auto: China town wars

Okay so aaaages ago I posted about a GTA game that was to be released on the DS. Well it happened and it’s hrere and I’ve played it and it’s awesome!

For starters it’s way different from the playstation versions, in terms of graphics (but of course it would be since the DS just doesn’t have that kind of graphical ability) and in terms of Gameplay (Which seriously makes up for the graphics.) The driving walking controls are pretty much the same, but the camera takes a bit of getting used to since it’s pretty much at a birds eye point of view, but once that’s over an done with, the fun can really begin. X3

The developers used the touch screen in the this game cleverly to make it more interactive, but not in a burdensome way if you know what I mean. Little things like buying and using scratch cards, hot wiring cars and searching through dumpsters make the game that little bit more fun. Ah and how could I forget the good old PDA system with built in GPS, very nice indeed, that has all kinds of useful stuff associated with it, including an online Ammunation!

As usual in addition to the main missions, you have several side missions to, they’re pretty much thrown in for comic relief, but they’re so cool. My personal favourite has to be the one were you have to ditch some girl who for some reason thinks she’s your girlfriend. X3 But even that can’t over shadow the main side mission - the drugs trade - oooooh. Nothing serious of course lol, you just go around interacting with dealers buying and selling a variety of contraband to make a profit. It’s a good thing too because there’s a lot of property to buy and the missions pay peanuts lol. But seriously it’s fun try it, only in the game though!

One last note on the game, and it has to be the police system. they actually managed to make it fun! yes, it;s true, you can get a 6 star wanted level and survive without needing 3 armored trucks, and the best thing is it’s a system that makes sense. Basically every time you get a wanted level you have to destroy a certain number of police cars for that level to make it go down. Destroying the cars can usually be done by some skillful driving to make a pursuing officer crash into a wall. Very cool idea I reckon.

Gosh there was so much I liked about this game I spent hours on end playing it. I only wish it could have been longer. D:
