Apps: Angry Birds review.

So, recently I have been playing a lot of angry birds, I have completed it and I'm now trying to do it all on 3 starts, here is my review:

What is it: It is a game where you catapult different birds at structures with green pigs inside and try and kill them, different birds do different things.

The Different types of birds: there are 6 different types of birds in parts 1-3 but then in part 4 there are new birds but as only the first part of part 4 is out I won't go into that.

regular birds: red and not very powerful, completely average.

Splitter birds: blue and when you tap on the screen they split into 3, they are perfect for destroying ice.

Speed birds: yellow and when you tap they go very fast, perfect for destroying wood.

bomber birds: white and when you tap they go up sharply and are very powerful but the pain point is that they drop and egg bomb, perfect for killing pigs if you aim well.

Explosive birds: black and either when you tap again or a while after they touch some thing they go BOOM!!! Excellent for blowing up pretty much anything.

Boomerang birds: when you tap again they come right back at you. Great for getting out of reach places but need some skill for best results.

Overall the game is very addictive and a superb buy for 59p it is often the top game in the app store a must buy for any game fan.

Templates: New Blogger template designer review!

Jacob here-

So, quite recently blogger came out with their new template designer which I have been making good use of. My favourite bits are:

1. The three column template option: there are now many options for template layout and footer layout and I love 3 column templates. I spent a lot of time getting my 3rd column on one of my other blogs and I kind of wish that I had had this resource but then I wouldn't have learned any code and I can't change now because of all the rest of the customisation of my blog.
2. The background options: You can now put one of many pictures pre uploaded onto your blog as a background as well as just colours.
3. The width options: You can now edit the width of your blog and sidebars.

There is also a whole load of pre-defined templates for you to use/customise the only problem is that the template you already have may not work with this but you can just choose one of theirs and make it a cleaner version of yours or just not use this template designer:

Ipod touch: thinking about app wititing.

So, I was talking to my dad and he said that he would write an Ipod app with me, I've been floating around ideas and I think I've nailed one down, not run it past him yet. I'm thinking a roster, to start with for warhammer that you can send to your phone and is clean to use, I mean things like having a reel with all the unit types etc and you just choose stuff, type in the points, pick the special rules then it adds stuff up for you. Maybe I would also make a make your own unit app as well. Don't know yet! So, what do you think.

Hi!

Lewis here. Just reminding everyone to please post a comment back and maybe even become our first ever follower. Atleast post us a comment to tell us that someone is actually looking at our blog!

Introductions/Game review: New author and review of Wii resort.

Hi, Jacob here. We will be having a new author on the blog going by the name of Andy. He is:

. Wii Wizard.
. Music guy (joining the rest of us)
. Gadgets (like toy sort of ones. Robo Sapien anyone)

Now to give you and idea of his style he will do a guest review on this post. take it away Andy:

Hi, this is Andy
Wii resort is the newest ediditon to the wii game family. Like all the other specific wii games such as wii sports wii play etc, you use your miis that you have already created to play fun family games. It is based on a tropical island and is like your on an extreme sports holiday. The wii motion plus accessory gives a completely different edge to the game because of how sensitive it is. The games are: Canoeing, this a great active game which you can do in either in single player or multiplayer modes. Table tennis is just like the wii play version except it is much more accurate due to the motion plus. Bowling is way better than the old version as you can customise your bowls. Air Sports Personally I think air sports is the best part about the game you can do sky dives where the objective is to link up with as many people you can before you release the parachute, you can also do island flyovers trying tofind hidden places you can unlock things.Archery isn't that good. Power cruising but could of done with a different aspect to it, Golf is great if you liked the wii sports version you will love this, swordplay is good witha variety of modes to play. cycling isnt the best but is all right once in a while, basketball is rubbish as you can't do what you want all the time. Wake boarding is very fun and can be addictive.
Overal I give Wii Sports Resort 8.5/10

Quick Tips: Starting blogging.

Hi, This is Jacob

Time for me to give a few tips to all you new bloggers out there.

1) Find other blogs and comment on them, become a regular on their site and then tell them about yours, don't just spam your web address but actually make friends with others then get them over to your blog.

2) Post regularly so that people know that your still blogging. About 95% of bloggers quit before they have even been blogging for a month.

3) Post about things that actually mean something to other people as well as you

4) Be patient and wait, the longer you have been blogging the more time there has been for people to find your blog. If you want someone to check out your blog then I will (as long as it is appropriate).

5)Don't just say things dryly, give your opinion as well and put in some enthusiasm.

Game review: Fire Emblem: Radiant dawn on wii.

Hi, Jacob here. Time for my first review.

Fire Emblem radiant dawn (FERD) is one of my favorite games. I love laying it.

Style: overhead strategy battle, grid based, combat driven, computer calculated combat.

General: It is an overhead turn based strategy game played on a grid. You can move your very powerful guys to kill the enemy weaker (but theres more of them) a set number of squares depending on what they are mounted on. When in combat then it goes onto some very good graphic screens where you see the two people fight.

Pros: Good graphics, great re-playability, an in battle save feature on easy and medium settings, awesome story and lots of different styles of play throughout the game.

Cons: Does not use the wii interactive stuff, may not appeal to some people because it is turn based and not real time.

Conclusion: I love this game and I would seriously recommend it to you.

Jacob's bi-weekly music: week1 top gear and now 72.

Hi, it's Jacob here. Sorry for not posting for a bit.

From now on will be doing a bi-weekly music review on what I have been listening to. This week I borrowed now 72 and the top gear seriously cool music albums and put them on my MP3, I am a really big fan of right round by Flo Rida and I like brightside. Valerie is sweet from the top gear track but I'm a bit bored of that now. So far I like both albums and will keep listening.
Hoping to borrow now 73 from Lewis soon.

Thanks for reading.

P.S. If you actually read this blog then please either vote on the poll or comment, or both.

My Review of The Ipod Touch 2G!

Hi, Lewis here!

The Ipod Touch is the best Ipod ever made in my opinion. I have one and it does everything I need it for plus more. Here are a few of my plusses and minuses for it!

Plusses:
Touch screen for ease of use,
A very wide range off games and music available for it,
An accelerometer to kake gaming a lot more interactive!

Minuses:

Quite heavy weighing in at 94 grams,
The built in speakers aren't very loud at all,
The memory is quite small for an Ipod at only 32GB at the most.

Overall this is a really good piece of kit! The best price for an Ipod touch from new is £165. If your thinking of buying one I would wait becuase the Ipod touch 2G has ben out for 10 months now so a new 3G version is due.

Thanks for reading. Please comment back and tell me what you think!

Music: My Review of the Now 73 CD!

Hi, Lewis here. Recently I bought the now 73 music album and I just thought I would review incase you wanted to buy it aswell! It includes a range of songs such as the latast hit singles 'Evacuate the Dance Floor' by Cascada and 'When Love Takes Over' by David Guetta and Kelly Rolland! This is a very good compilation of pop music with all the hit singles and #1s from the last 6 months. From Amazon it's only £11.68! I think thats great value for money with over 40 songs on it! Write a comment back and tell me what you think!
