Angry Birds Game Review

Angry Birds is an incredibly successful puzzle game. An Angry Birds cartoon series is in the works. It has sold millions of copies and has even spawned a realm of collectible plush toys. What is it about the game that has turned it into such a success? Of course this game has made its way into lots of platforms and now there is even online angry birds to play at your heart's content

The light-hearted story concerns the Angry Birds attempt to defeat pig egg thieves. Birds are loaded into a slingshot and flung towards the pigs castles. The birds must knock down the castle to defeat the pigs. Each bird has its own unique personality and often shouts jokes and phrases as it flies through the air.

Control in the game is very simple. Players touch the bird that is resting in the slingshot. They then drag their finger backwards to add power to the sling shot. Removing the finger causes the bird to fly across the screen. Dragging a finger up and down changes the angle of the bird’s flight.

Knocking down each castle requires hitting weak spots. Players start with basic red birds. Players then earn more powerful birds. Blue birds explode into smaller birds while white birds drop exploding eggs. Black birds simply explode.

Players must be careful with their bird selection and use. They have a limited supply of birds. Running out of birds ends the level immediately. Players can retry as often as they like, which gives players the opportunity to recover from mistakes.

And players will make plenty of mistakes. Most of the levels in Angry Birds are very challenging to defeat. Some castles have thick stone walls that require explosions to be destroyed. Others have one specific but difficult to hit spot that will destroy the whole castle. The high challenge combined with the simple controls and the light hearted nature of the game increases its replay value.

Lastly, Angry Birds is a game that is appropriate for a wide range players. Children will appreciate the silly tone and the simple control scheme. Adults will appreciate the challenge and strategy necessary to win. 63 challenging levels should keep players coming back for more for a long time. Angry Birds has been released for Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, the Palm Pre phone, the Nokia N900 handset, Symbian 3 phones, Google Android, Playstation Portable, Playstation 3, Windows 7, Nook Color e-reader and on online only version that runs on WebGL. Ports have been proposed for the XBox 360, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS and Facebook.

Spider Man - Edge of Time

Spider Man has become an institution since the comic days, and has grown into a franchise that has moved beyond the typical comic books and playing cards into a global phenomenon. Movies, toys, clothing, everyone loves Spider Man, and this includes gamers in Canada! The newest episode in the gaming saga is Spider Man - Edge of Time, which is generating so much hype that gaming stockists are having trouble dealing with pre-order demand ahead of the October 4th release date.The game puts gamers into the crazy world of Spidey in the year 2099, in keeping with the latest comic book evolution penned by Peter David. In a sick and corrupt future, Spider Man must battle even harder against a whole range of new villains in order to keep the streets clean and crime free.

The action game is set in two alternate timelines, where players must guide Spidey through a variety of tasks and adventures. What makes the game stand out is the fact that there is causal game play. Players need to carefully consider the way they play in timeline one, as their actions there will have direct consequences in the second timeline. Guide Spidey through his battles in both worlds to help him shut down the scum that is wreaking havoc in the future.

A game loaded with surprises, Spider Man - Edge of Time has all the elements that have made the games so popular since the launch of the game on PS1. Epic battles, crazy web abilities, snappy dialogue and a constantly shifting storyline all ensure a game that is going to be as addictive as its predecessors. Don't expect to be able to put this one down until you've mastered web slinging, hand to hand combat, complex puzzles and exploring absolutely massive environments.The game is currently available on the 360, but there are well-founded rumours of a DS release.

Even if you are not a fan of Spider Man himself, or feel that Toby McGuire ruined the whole character of Peter Parker, this game is great as a standalone exercise in adventure gaming. It really makes you feel like you can climb walls and stop crime just like your friendly neighbourhood Spider Man. For once the hype around a game, and we predict that the timelines, plot, and consequential gaming style of Spider Man - The Edge of Time, will be a smash that will stand the test of gaming time.This guest post was written by freelance writer Victoria.

Bulletstorm: Get ready for an awesome new first person shooter!

Bulletstorm is a new title coming February 22nd, 2011 published by Electronic Arts. It was developed by People Can Fly and Epic Games, the people who have brought us Gears of War, Painkiller and the Unreal Tournament series. The game takes place in the future where an elite military unit named Dead Echo crash lands on a planet of mutant cannibals and man-eating plants.

The only way off is to fight their way through them all! There's a great forum for Bulletstorm that has tons of info about the game including videos and tips on how to play. They also have a great Bulletstorm wiki that you can use to look up how to perform the over 140 skillshots in the game. Skillshots are the unique ways to kill your enemies in Bulletstorm. There are going to be two modes in the game aside from the single player campaign: Echo Mode and Anarchy Mode. In Echo mode, you play the game competing with other players online to try and achieve the highest score.

In Anarchy mode, you team up with other players to fight wave after wave of oncoming bad guys. Anarchy mode is focused on cooperative teamwork and is similar to the Horde mode of gameplay in Gears of War. If you're like me, you've already got your preorder and are anxiously awaiting the adventures of space pirate Grayson Hunt and the other members of Dead Echo that are coming up next month!
