Nintendo DS Screenshots: Cake Mania

I got Cake Mania as a used game a few months ago as a game to play on my summer road trip. It has turned out to be a fun game to play. I like the fast paced serving customers games and this is one of the best. I like that you bake the cakes and decorate them as the customers wish. Overall a game that provides hours of fun in my opinion, although some may find it repetitive, but I love this game.

Nintendo DS Screenshots: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

I bought this game about a week ago. I really tried to give it a chance, but it just got worse and worse. From the start it seemed full of tedious tasks with little to do with Harry Potter Book 6 and probably not the movie either. There is also some horrible inaccuracies, such as Luna unpetrifing Harry on the train instead of Tonks. Read my more in depth review on my Harry Potter blog here.

iPhone Game Screenshots: ChocChoc Pop Lite

ChocChoc Pop Lite is a fun puzzle game for the iPhone. It is mostly a matching type game to remove the chocolates in combos. The lite/free version has good depth to get a feel of the game and is actually one I would consider buying if I ever wanted my phone to be a gaming way of entertaining, but for now I will stick with my DS for that function.

Nintendo Wii Video Clip: Ten Pin Alley 2

Below is a video of me trying to bowl in Ten Pin Alley 2. It really does not work all that well and to get the marks it feels so unrealistic because it does not naturally work how I throw a real bowling ball, which does work in Wii Sports fine.

I love bowling and keep trying to find a good more in depth one to enjoy on the Wii besides Wii Sports. Ten Pin Alley 2 is the third or fourth one that I have tried and been disappointed by. Yet again I found the game to not be realistic if you are trying to throw a hook, especially if you throw a back up ball like I do. I turned it to say I was a lefty even though I still threw the ball like a righty back up and it worked a little better, but not really realistic like it should. It is extremely frustrating and no excuse for it not working when the very first bowling game (Wii Sports) for the Wii works so well.

Nintendo DS Screenshots: Hannah Montana the Movie

Hannah Montana the Movie game for Nintendo DS is a pretty good game based on the movie. The game does overall follow the movie's plot, but it skips some stuff (such as Lily's birthday party and the shoe incident) and also adds some extra stuff (such as random day dream like perfomances and a visit to Jackson's college). It might not exactly be like the movie, but I did find it a pretty good adventure game. It does have a lot of just running back and forth, but I kind of liked it and found it almost humorous because it is really is like how real life can be sometimes. The performances parts are my favorite. In the performances you hear many of the movie's songs and they are played with decent sound quality. In the performances you walk around stage doing different things, such as the keyboard, guitar, drums, singing, dancing, and specials. You can choose what to do and when, but you will get the best rating at the end if you at least do all and best if you get five stars on each part. Overall I do recommend the game for Hannah Montana fans, although it only takes a few hours to play through the whole story line.

Nintendo DS Screenshots: Candace Kane's Candy Factory

Candace Kane's Candy Factory is a puzzle game of matching up candy to people's orders and doing it before they get impatient and leave. There are a variety of upgrades to help you reach the level's goals. This includes a wrapping machine to increase profit, a taffy machine to increase customer patient, and swapping speed increase to help make matches faster. Overall it is a fun game, but it is not challenging enough to have much depth.

Nintendo Wii Video Clip: Major Minor's Majestic March

Below is a video clip of playing one of the only seven levels of Major Minor's Majestic March. It is not a horrible game, but the controls are not exactly the best in terms of responsiveness. The thing I do not like though, is that is majorly lacks depth.

Major Minor's Majestic March is an unique music game with you using the Wii remote as a baton to lead a marching band. It is interesting and fun at first, but it is quickly over, as the story mode only has seven levels. It was kind of fun to play through once, but not interesting enough that I wanted to try again on the normal level. It does have some nice colorful graphics and I imagine it really could keep the attention and be a lot of fun for the young kids while also helping to teach tempo, which by the way I stink at and part of why the game did not keep me interested.

iPhone Game Screenshots: Boom Boom Lite

Boom Boom Lite is a simple brick down type game. Not really sure what makes the non lite version worth buying, as I cannot even get past the second level much. Also, not really sure how many levels are in this version vs. the paid one, as the products description is in the same poor English. It is still an enjoyable game, though.
