New Fun Mobile Game App

2012-02-09T05:54:00.000-08:00

So I was at a friends house the other day when I saw her playing away on her iPad on a game called Temple Run.

Been the nosey parker I am I asked to have a go and I'm not going to lie I've been addicted to it ever since!

Your basically a character who is constantly running around an ancient temple and you must guide him which way you want him to go around the maze and avoid any obstacles or holes you come across using your fingers and swiping which direction you want to go.

The longer you can go for and the more coins you manage to pick up on the way around determines how many points you end up with, I'm pretty terrible at it still at the moment but with the amount of hours I've lost to it thus far I'm fairly sure I'll be turning that around sharpish!

You can't play the game online or on Android yet, but with the success this things having I imagine it won't be long until you can

And best of all.... its FREE!

Check the gameplay out here;

Bloons Tower Defense 5!

2012-01-06T05:07:00.000-08:00

If you are looking pass a little time, either between classes or at the office, there are several different options available to you, including Bloons Tower Defense 5 Game. This game doesn't require any specific knowledge, and allows you to pay within a few moments of loading it up. Not to mention, it is possible to play the game for hours, without ever playing the same level twice. It is a fun game that allows you to adjust the methods of paying, which is sure to keep you having fun, no matter how much time you have available to yourself.

In Bloons Tower Defense 5 Game, you have the option to start off at either the easy, medium or expert level. If you are just starting off, you might want to try the "Easy" option, at least until you get the hang of the game. When the first map loads for then game, you are going to notice there is a walkway running through grass that leads up through the screen and out the other side. Once the game starts, a string of balloons, or "bloons" begins to run through the path. It is your job to destroy the balloons before they reach the other side of the game board.

You start off with a specific amount of money, in which you are able to purchase a money character that has a standard dart gun. While the balloons pas, the money automatically throws darts at the balloons, popping them. With every ballon destroyed, you receive more money, allowing you to purchase additional characters to help defend against the balloons. Upon the completion of a level, you receive the option to purchase more equipment. As the levels progress, it does become more difficult to destroy the balloons, so you want better equipment to defend the walkway. However, the better equipment does cost more, so you are only able to obtain the products in limited quantities, so it is best to be careful when selecting the desired equipment.

Playing Bloons Tower Defense 5 Game is an incredibly fun way to spend a few minutes of your day, especially if you don't have anything to do between classes or meetings. You are able to pause and stop the game at any time, so you always have the option to continue the game when you have some more time available, as it is possible to play the game for hours, if you choose.

Paypal Casinos Have Me Locked In!

2011-12-05T05:25:00.000-08:00

To think that only a few years ago I did little more than search for the latest news online, I’m shocked to think about the time that I have spent playing online casino games over the last few months.

I was introduced to online casinos by a friend that organised a night out that consisted of a trip to the casino in the city centre for a three course dinner and a night of betting, a great night was had by all, especially me and I ended the night with more that £300 in my pocket, not bad for someone that only took £100 out with them.

I had spent hours playing blackjack and never even thought about the amount of chips that I had in front of me, the excitement and the thrill was enough for me and that simply ran over and into my home life now.

I have never been keen on paying for items on my card when online, especially on sites that I have never been to before so I decided that I would look for casinos that offered me the chance to be able to fund my fun with PayPal, an online eWallet account that I could link to my card but with additional protection.

The decision to only look for PayPal casinos might have reduced my options in terms of where I could play the casino games I want but I was pleasantly surprised by the size of some of the sites that were still open to me.

I have been playing at the site for the past few months, spending what I would say about 7 hours a week playing my favourite casino games online, not a great deal of time but enough for me, and I have enjoyed every minute of it.

If you are like me and don’t trust any website with your payment details, I strongly suggest that you look for alternative funding methods, I mean I know there are loads of online casino sites that offer Moneybookers as a form of deposit and withdrawal but my preference was PayPal and the sites were more than adequate for me.

I’m currently breaking around about even on my deposit but that’s not a problem for me as I am playing for the enjoyment and keep stakes low but I have friends that are winning thousands of pounds a month with their high roller mentality.

Online Casinos Takes My Fancy

2011-11-24T06:38:00.000-08:00

Now as I have already pointed out in my past posts, I have been enjoying a spot of online bingo during the spare time that I have, not that I have that much of it, but I have certainly enjoyed my time on the sites.

Now I have always been a woman that has a desire to win and I have to be honest that although I have enjoyed speaking to some of the other players on the bingo chatrooms while the game takes place next to me, I want to be able to have a little more input over the outcome of the game, not too much, but a little more than point a mouse and click.

So while I was at university me and the girls got into a routine where we would head out to the casino in the city centre and have a few drinks with a little flutter, I say little as truly there was not that much money that we had to spare, but the excitement of winning really uplifted the whole group, even if it was one of the other girls that won.

Well now I have left uni and the girls have all gone out separate ways, it seems that I have managed to rekindle the desire to taste the victory of winning again but I simply don’t have the time nor the friends base to be able to re-live my nights out with the girls, you know, the ones where you really have a great time.

With that I have decided that I would have a look at what some of the top online casinos had to offer, I mean there won’t be the atmosphere and buzz around me as I play but I never did really like the smoke-filled rooms with so called ‘high rollers’ clearly emptying their pockets in the hope of winning a cool million, I was there for the games and the thrill of playing.

So I simply found the time to sit down at my computer the other night and simply searched for “top 10 online casinos” and was presented with a host of sites that were showing me everything from the latest bonus that I can get from each site, down to a review of the support that I can expect if I was to have any issues while using the site, a good little resource for someone like me that has never played an online casino before.

I think that I will have to look a little more into what the sites have to offer me but I’ll certainly be trying one or two out to see what they can offer me but I’ll let you know which online casino I decide to use.

Women and Bingo

2011-11-17T07:40:00.000-08:00

The current trend in the playing of online bingo, which has swept the UK, is that a large number of the players are women. The Online Bingo Report noted that the increasing availability of sites, with new applications developed for the mobile market as well as the more standard desktop computer, has enhanced the game’s popularity.

The chat function and the social aspect are among the reasons why the game has such a widespread appeal, as well as the chance to win some extra cash. A grandmother from Basildon recently won £1 million online and many of the internet sites offer equally generous jackpots.

The UK Gambling Commission has released a report, which breaks down the demographic and also shows that online bingo in the UK is growing at a rapid pace. Companies such as 888 Ladies Bingo and Sun Bingo are among those that are proving popular with the consumer.

The appeal of the game for women is thought to be thanks to the ease with which they can log on to their computers at any time of the day or night and unwind with a game of bingo. They fit this in between the shopping, housework and childcare responsibilities.

For those that feel isolated, online bingo can provide a degree of socialisation with virtual friends becoming an important factor in their busy lives. In addition, for those online gamers who are affected by unemployment or other economic issues, the fact that a lot of the online sites offer rich cash prizes or even, in some cases, a car as a winner’s reward, acts as an additional incentive to join in the fun.

Xbox 720 Rumours Already Circulating

2011-10-26T07:37:00.000-07:00

Well it is about that time once again, the time where the console gaming giants announce that they are working on their latest upgrade of their previous system and it seems that the rumours mills are hard at work, creating rumours that the XBox 720 could soon be placed onto shelves.

According to reports the latest edition of the XBox console series will be hitting the retail market in 2013 and will be set to push console gaming limited to a whole new dimension, both through the performance of the console as well as the graphical capabilities of the games that are set to be offered on the next offering.

Just think about games such as Forza Motorsport 4 which has only recently been released into the market by developers Microsoft, the game has already shocked car games lovers from across the globe with the intense detail and level of interaction that the game can offer, these games are seen as tread setters for the short term but the release of the XBox 720 promises to further increase the power that developers will have available to them.

This comes as no shock to anyone that has seen the evolution of console gaming, purchasing each of the previous offerings and thinking back to the basic visuals that were offered compared to the most recent titles that continue to leave gamers thirsty for gaming action.

Computer gaming is becoming more and more life like with each now release that breaks into the console market and that is a positive sign for things to come from the likes of the XBox 720 and what is thought to be set to be named as the Sony PlayStation 4.

One thing is for certain, the days of using control pads are set to be limited as each gaming console company continue to find new ways to enhance your gaming feel for every game that you play, meaning that technology such as the Microsoft Xbox Kinect could soon become a standard within the console market, meaning that you really experience the thrill and involvement of the game in which you choose to play.

How I Managed To Find The Right Online Poker Room For Me

2011-10-21T02:20:00.000-07:00

Well I have been talking about making the move for the past few months, winning in the weekend games with friends is one thing but stepping into the bigger leagues is something that I have really had to think about, I mean could I really carry my success from our weekly games into an online poker site where there are so many players that are more experienced ready and waiting for me to take my seat, can I really win?

Well I decided that I would shop about for the best online poker room to call home, which meant that I had to look for honest reviews from players that have experienced the highs and lows of the online poker market and I have to admit that some of the reviews looked ‘too good to be true’.

There seems to be literally thousands of sites out there that have been created with the pure basis that they are going to push you to an online poker room, regardless of what they think personally about the site, just so that they can cash in on your move?!

Well after sifting through roughly seven or eight sites, I found one that seemed to offer an honest review of one of the better known online gambling operators within the market, William Hill Poker.

WilliamHillPokerReview.com might have only been a one page site but it offered me a valuable insight into the happenings on the site and the sign up bonus that the site showed was huge, okay so I won’t be unlocking all of the £1250 that is on offer but I like the idea of being given more money for my deposit.

So with a new online poker room to try out, I thought that I would see if once again I had been pushed to a site under false pretences but the good news is that I’m now 4 weeks into playing on the site and so far everything that I was told about in the review was spot on.

So I guess it means that if you are looking to start to play online poker, make sure that you read the reviews that are available to you but make sure that you take time to think about the comments made in the reviews you read, not everyone will give you the whole truth but I have fallen good on this one,

If you decide to join William Hill Poker, drop me a message on the contact page and we’ll hook up for a game!

Got Free Money To Play Online Poker!

2011-10-20T01:21:00.000-07:00

So been the tight get that I am... I was searching online for anything free I could find haha

I came across a website which was offering poker free money! My husband has played online poker in the past and has had some nice little wins from it which are always a great boost come bill time!

Anyway I signed up, I think the catch behind it, is that because you sign up to these sites through the site above they get a commission bigger than the free money they give to us for free so its still kind of a win win situation for everybody.

The site I signed up to also gave me a huge load of strategy articles and tips where were surprisngly good, I thought they were going to be just poor generic articles but I was genuinely impressed with them, some of the tips were great and I was sat there thinking "oh yeah!... why didn't I think of that" haha

So far with the $50 they gave me for free I'm up to $74 and looking strong ;D

If you guys fancy playing, sign up with the site above and then give me a shout so I can send you my username and I can take all your money (free money ;D )

X Factor Twist Ready To Shock Millions

2011-10-07T06:23:00.000-07:00

Well like I do every year, I have found myself rushing home to make sure that I don’t miss a minute of the ITV talent show, The X Factor, I have no idea as to what makes it one of my favourite programmes but it seems to pull me in each and every year, right from the very beginning of the show.

Now I know that the early stages of the competition are all about laughing at the contestants that truly believe that they have the X Factor but clearly have little more than a huge dream and no talent, but that makes it all the more entertaining to watch for a huge percentage of the millions of views that tune into the programme.

Well with the show now about to enter the live finals stage, things are sure to hot up and I think I know who I have down as my potential winner and they sailed through the judges houses stage without any problems.

Not about to share all of my thoughts at the moment but I have heard that there are a couple of sites that are giving you the chance to be able to put your money where your mouth is, offering X Factor betting!

I think that I have just about enough confidence in my pick to place a little wager on it to make it a little more exciting but I won’t be doing anything too serious, the boyfriend would kill me, well unless I won!

I originally thought that the shock twist to the programme was once again about to be that the judges were going to be offered a wildcard and that they could bring back another of the acts in order to increase the duration and suspense of the series but according to the official X Factor site on the ITV, the twist is that four acts will be going home tomorrow!

That’s a massive cut from the first live programme and will mean that the competition will either have a host of singers that are going to be able to handle the pressure or there will be others that will crumble and crash out of the competition without even getting their feet onto the stage.

One thing is for sure, the competition is ready to go and I have my hot chocolate and Terry’s chocolate orange at home ready for me to get settled in, that’s if Andy (my fella) hasn’t eaten it already!

The Bingo Odds Are Against You!

2011-10-05T06:40:00.000-07:00

The question that every player new to the game of bingo wants to know is, “Which numbers are the most popular?”, as though there is a secret system by which they can track down bingo cards which hold the most popular numbers and give themselves a greater chance of winning the jackpot. It is a great idea, at least in theory. In practice, of course, it falls apart entirely, the major problem being that there are no numbers which are more popular than any other in the game of bingo.

When it comes to the maths, the simple statistical reality is that no one number has any greater chance of being selected and called in the game of bingo than any other. Indeed, should such a thing actually be happening, it would probably be a strong indication of either mechanical error or human cheating! It is possible, during some bingo sessions composed of more than one actual game, that some numbers may be appearing more than others, but ruling out the above, it really is just down to pure chance. Anyone trying to compose a bingo card filled with the numbers that seem to be turning up regularly in one bingo session will probably find themselves highly frustrated and disappointed the next time!

To increase the odds of winning a game of bingo, rather than trying to find some kind of statistical favour in the numbers, you’d have a better chance simply by trying to attend bingo games which tend to attract fewer participants, which genuinely will increase your odds of winning.

As some of you will know, I've been playing Bingo for a long time before all this online bingo craze started, I think it kind of takes away the fun factor of going out with the girls but it does have the chat room... I guess it's going back to that old argument that technology is killing our brains!

If you fancy playing online bingo I've been playing at 888Ladies.com so sign up over there and let me know and we can have a natter :D

Slot Machines

2011-10-05T01:20:00.000-07:00

Slots, one-armed bandit, fruit machine, pokies. Four different ways of saying the same thing. They all describe exactly the same item, the humble slot machine.

Slot machines are the most popular way to gamble for the millions of people who visit casinos and amusement arcades each year. Such is their popularity with the crowds that visit a large casino, that they can represent more than 70 per cent of a casino’s annual income. With jackpot prizes that can reach a million dollars or more on the push of a button or pull of a lever, it is hardly surprising that they are a hit with players, professional and amateur alike.

Old fashioned machines still have the pull down lever on the one side of the machine which spins three reels to reveal a series of pictures. If the pictures match you’ve won the jackpot. These machines are where the one-armed bandit name comes from, an old joke that you lose your cash to the machine that only has one arm.

In more recent times the lever has been replaced by a button which sends the wheels spinning electronically. With touch screen technology the slot machine has truly entered the modern age.

Make no mistake this is a game of chance, you literally pay your money and you take your chance.

The Bellagio in Las Vegas has more than 2,300 reel, video reel and video poker games with jackpots in the multi millions.

My husband is a member over at a poker affiliate webmaster forum and one of his friends who is a member over there has just won over $100,000 in vegas on the slots!

If your not familiar with online slots there's literally hundreds of different game types you can play... here's a collection of video slots available from 888 games so you can see what I'm talking about :)

Pre-Order Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

2011-09-22T06:45:00.000-07:00

Call of Duty has really brought FPS games back to our living rooms over the past few years and there is no sign of it slowing anytime soon. Christmas must be coming early because the newest addition to the series is Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, and it is hitting the store shelves on November 8th of this year.

I have really enjoyed the series thus far so it should be no surprise that I am extremely excited about a new installment coming out. The graphics, updated strategy, and many different gameplay modes I have seen from the leaked videos and trailers are nothing short of amazing.

I am really looking forward to the "Survival" mode. Taking out waves of increasingly stronger enemies is a huge rush of adrenaline, and to top it all off you can compete with and against your friends on leaderboards. However, this game really does have the best of everything from what I have seen.

The single-player campaign, cooperative mode, and of course the robust multiplayer are all packed with tons of improvements. To be honest, you may have a bit of trouble deciding what mode to play first when you get your hands on a copy of CoD:MW3! It really doesn't matter for me though because I will be setting all my other games aside for quite some time to enjoy all that this game has to give.

Many of my friends are pre-ordering as well so we are excited to form our tactical team early and take over the battlefield in multiplayer. We are particularly looking forward to the classic FPS style modes like "Team Deathmatch" and "Capture the Flag", but we are also quite intrigued about the many new modes that have been added such as "Kill Confirmed", "Team Defender", etc. I am looking forward to many late night gaming marathons in the near future. It really shouldn't come down to whether or not you are going to pre-order Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 or not because you can bet that you will regret not making the purchase if you don't.

The biggest decision is choosing between the regular version or opting for Modern Warfare 3: Hardened Edition which is packed with all the extra goodies that a true Call of Duty fan would want including a one-of-a-kind book, map packs, memberships, and in-game unlockables! Don't miss out on this!

Delivery Man Flash Game Review

2011-09-20T09:26:00.000-07:00

Delivery Man is a game where you ride on the back of a truck and fight multiple enemy as they try to kill you. The “man” is delivering guns and other items to people. You are attacked by other people on motorcycles and at the end of the first level a giant robot. This is a boss and has a lot more health than the normal enemys. If your not careful its attacks can kill you. You really do have to pay attention to the flashing targets.

The graphics are OK. The music that plays in the background gets repetitive scene it loops over and over. The sounds are OK as well. Nothing special but the guns sound like guns and whatnot. The game allows you to buy upgrades with money. You can upgrade your guns and the car that you ride. I think saving for stronger guns is worth while because the weapon you start with is pretty weak. Upgrading the car gives you more health points so you don’t die as fast. Changing your looks has no impact on game play. You can also unlock achievement points. The game saves your progress so you don’t have to restart each time.

The game itself plays out OK. You target the enemys and shoot. Its as simple as that. You can shoot them directly or shoot there bikes. If you like point and shoot games you would like this one but that’s all there is to this game.
This game could be considered addicting as there are many levels to beat, I counted 50. and once you get the basics down it doesn’t really change. If you do enjoy this game there is a lot game time for you.

Overall for a flash game this is OK game. There are many of this types of games on the web and you may find better ones but you also will find worse so its up to you to test it out yourself to see if you really like it or not. I myself probably will not play this game again. Its not because I think its bad but I played better browser based games before.

Angry Birds Rio Game Review

2011-09-16T03:11:00.000-07:00

Rovio’s Angry Birds games have been one of the biggest hits of the last year. So big, in fact, that I’d be surprised at this point if I had to explain the premise to my own dear grandmother. Nevertheless: using a slingshot, fire some of the titular birds at improbable towering stacks of boxes, planks and bricks. It’s a ‘crush the castle’ style physics game, basically, with the player aiming to knock over the evil green pigs hiding among the debris.

In this case, we’ve got a edition tying in with the animated kids’ film Rio, which replaces the pigs with cages of birds. Knock the cages to the ground with enough force, or hit them head on, and they’ll burst open and free the birds of paradise trapped within. Clearly, what the birds are so angry about this time is the thorny issue of animal rights.

Playing the game is extremely simple: tug back the slingshot, line up the shot you think will best tear through the assorted obstacles, let go and watch as it all comes tumbling down. It’s all pleasingly physical, and the blocks of wood/stone/glass all react as you’d expect to the impact of a bird flung from a giant catapult.
Keeping things varied is a fat roster of bird types, each with different powers. Click to split the blue one into three, or to give the yellow one a speed burst, or to explode the black bomb-shaped one. It adds some interactivity after letting go of the slingshot, but each level gives you a set handful of them, which means there’s no opportunity for strategising. With the predefined armoury or birds and the star ratings, each level seems like it should have a perfect solution but as far as I can tell, this isn’t the case.

That’s not a major issue, though. What is a huge problem is the way that the game is designed, so that seeing the slingshot and the obstacles on the same screen is near-impossible. You’re aiming at a half-remembered target, and so tougher levels become frustrating very quickly.

Still, this doesn’t quite ruin the game, which is a half-decent if simplistic distraction. Its natural home is on a mobile device, in a waiting room or on a bus. Playing Angry Birds on a monitor feels like dedicating too much attention to it, especially when there are far more diverting Flash games available.

…Oh, and turn the volume off straight away. What starts out as a cheery, simple tune transforms very quickly into nails -down-a-blackboard torture!

Passing time with flash Games!

Angry Birds Online

A simple game, it can be described with one word: cocaine. Like that infamous narcotic Angry Birds Online is easy enough to start, but almost impossible to quit. It wouldn’t shock me to learn Angry Birds has the same chemical effects on the brain.

Game play is basic, you’ve probably played similar games before. The Angry Birds serve as ammunition for a slingshot aimed towards a variation of structures protecting pigs that have stolen the angry bird’s eggs. The goal is to knock the wood, glass or stone blocking the pigs with your Angry Bird ammo and clobber them. It becomes more difficult with each level and new features like birds with special abilities and pimped out piglets appear, but that’s the central structure ad nauseam.

It’s an often used setup for other flash games, but with superior graphics, game play and an original scenario. I would rate it as one of the best of its type, nothing new but still fun and addictive. Be careful or you may end up at Angry Birds Online rehab.

Addictiveness Rating: 7.5 / 10

Kingdom Rush

It takes an extraordinary flash game to impress me. I’ve played a few: a lot of bad ones, several mediocre ones and a very few I’d call good. I’ve never played one that I’d call great, that is until now.

What it is about Kingdom Rush that stands out for me beyond other flash games I can’t say. It doesn’t seem like much at first. Like most flash games it’s a simple setup. The goal is to build towers that have different abilities (melee, ranged and magic, etc.) along a path that goblins, orcs and other creatures that appear in later levels travel down. You must kill them all before they reach the end to advance.

An hour passed before I realized how long I’d been playing. Most games of this type become repetitious after two or three levels, but Kingdom Rush has some secret element, despite its adherence to the same slightly varied setup with each level it never gets old.

Great visuals and untiring game play, this is easily my favorite flash game available online now. Perfect.

Addictiveness Rating: 10 / 10

Flash Car Games
Some game themes have an innate mass-popularity that other games, no matter how original or fun, cannot hope to obtain. Fantasy, solving puzzles and stick figure shoot-em-ups can make excellent flash games, but they come and go in droves with slight variations. The most popular games are those that have some connection to daily life but without the permanent life-altering consequences that would arise if those extremes or mistakes possible in game play actually occurred. That might explain the popularity of flash car games. Who doesn’t wish they could sometimes touch the petal to the floor? Even car unenthusiasts can’t resist an engine revving ominously and the opportunity to race a car through the streets at speeds that in reality would result in some kind of long-term government funded vacation (a.k.a. prison). The ability to fantasize, with a little digital animatic help, in those things we wish we could do in the real world has a stronger and more engrained appeal because it matches patterns in our brains that recognize them as familiar. With that in mind it should come as no surprise how many flash car games are online nor how many people play them. It is safe to assume the future will make countless more available.

Uphill Rush 4

2011-08-11T03:17:00.000-07:00

I've been playing another game recently which I simply can't get enough of!

Addicted is not the word! haha. Basically the aim of the game is to get your vehicle from one side of the map to the other trying to make sure you don't tip over and end up as a ball of flames!

To gain more points try to get across the terrain as quick as possible and pick up all the stars and bonuses throughout each level.

Whats pretty awesome about it though is that as you progress you earn money to be able to customize your vehicle to the way you want!

Give it a try now and let your addiction run riot!

Addicted to Angry Birds!

2011-07-19T15:56:00.000-07:00

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I've been online but I wanted to get back into blogging just to throw down my thoughts somewhere I can look back on one day.

My first post I've decided to dedicate to a game i've been totally addicted to for the last month or so of my life. I've wasted countless hours playing this game!

The game is Angry Birds! I'm sure most of you will of heard of it by now it's absolutely huge.

Apparently I'm told that they never advertised the game in its early stages it got so big simply down to its addictiveness and viral word of mouth spread that it's players created (pretty much what I'm doing now)

The game was initially set up to be played just on phones such as the iPhone but you can now play angry birds online free at free-games.net!

Check the game out and let me know how you guys get on!
