Archmage: An average top-down scroll n’ shoot style game that could use a little bit of work.

Let me be frank. I’ve played several good top-down shooter games, and I’ve always found them amazing fun. For about 10 minutes. In all of my gaming life, and I can account for at least 14 of them, I have only found one game to be the pinnacle of the scrolling shooter, and that is Demonstar, and none shall take it’s place.

Yummy Drink Factory is one of the best multi-tasking games that has been put out in quite some time. Your character starts out by taking a wrong turn and stumbles upon a creepy coffee shop. You stop to get directions and decide to order a warming drink-a “double-chocolate mocha, dry, extra-hot, fat-free milk and no whipped cream”. Your character is a not-so nice young lady with a bad attitude.

Starscape is a slightly more sophisticated version Asteroids, the classic arcade came from the 1970s which by today’s standards is very simplistic. All you had to do was shoot asteroids and flying saucers with your little space ship before they destroyed you. Even today it can actually be quite fun to play asteroidsfor about 10 minutes.

Full metal soccer, the game that could have been.
When I was looking at the screenshots, it looked great. When I was looking at the paragraph of information given on the game, it sounded incredible. When I downloaded it, I was hyped. And then, I tried to play it.

Virtual Farm Simulation Game Review and Game Download

After playing Virtual Farm by Alawar Entertainment, I have found it to be quite unrealistic and a game that quickly becomes boring. Personally, I did not like it; I enjoy games that are a challenge, and this game was far too simple. To give it a rating, I would say it is no better than a 2/5 for children, a 1/5 for everyone else.

Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation Game Review and Game Download

Gameplay 4/5
At first Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation is a bit difficult to get the hang of. But after you master the controls it becomes quite fun. Although it has ‘bowling’ in the title, this game is very different from traditional bowling. The pins have been replaced by Santa’s hard working Elf’s and the traditional alley is replaced by three exotic locations. The game progresses as you complete the various game modes, eventually allowing you to unlock almost 20 different bowling balls and a variety of avatars to bowl with. The addicting gameplay is complimented with a Story Mode, a Single Player Mode, and a Multiplayer Mode, creating an enjoyable Elf Bowling experience.

Graphics 4/5
Although you won’t be seeing them on the Xbox 360 anytime soon, the graphics in Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation are decent to say the least. The animations of the elfs and the effects seen on the alleyway, with the lane and the ball, are truly astounding for this title. Subtle effects that aren’t needed but add to the experience include things like water splashing on the camera and exciting camera angles when you get strikes and spares. When you look at the graphics for similar titles, Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation features the best.

Sound 2/5
The sound effects in the game are superb, the dialog from the elfs is, on the other hand, repetitive. After just a short time of gameplay one can easily become annoyed. If there was just a bit more variation in what was said the annoyance wouldn’t be so bad. The music for the title is also repetitive. If you play your own music while you enjoy an hour of elf bowling the entertainment value of the game remains high.

Creativity and Innovation 5/5
The level of creativity in the game is noticeable to say the least. It’s easy to become lost in the world of Elf Bowling as you play with road blocks in the lane and enormous bowling balls. The variety of dirty tricks and bonuses creates for a very unique bowling experience that can’t be found anywhere else.

Overall 4/5
The addictive nature of games like Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation can result in countless hours spent enjoying a simple game of bowling. The innovations made in the gameplay and the variety of game modes creates an experience like none other so that Elf Bowling Hawaiian Vacation should be the last bowling game you ever need. Aside from the real thing that is. A four, out of five.

Hell’s Kitchen is a game soon to be released in the US on several platforms. This review is based off the PC version. The game is based on a reality TV show on FOX. The premises show is about a chef known for his flaming temper, foul mouth, and excellent cooking skills. His name is Gordon Ramsay. The show has chefs competing on opposing teams to complete challenges, and conduct dinner service at the Hell’s Kitchen restaurant. If you were hoping to have an experience similar to the show, prepare for disappointment.

The game play involves the dining area, and the kitchen. Running the dining area includes seating your customers, taking their orders, you will need to tell your waiter to deliver the food, remove the plates between starters, main course, and after their dessert. Running the kitchen involves stirring ingredients, and dragging specified ingredients to a picture hovering above the cooking device for every order. You must wait for the ingredients are prepared before you cook them, watch a timer so they don’t get burned and place the dishes on the counter to be sent to the dining area. You have to constantly switch back and forth between the dining area and the kitchen.

During the whole time in both the dining and kitchen areas there will be a flaming time meter, as time passes the flame slowly goes down. Quickly addressing issues in the dining area, and accuracy in making the food causes the flaming time meter goes up. So you must be quick with the mouse and click accurately. This combination makes this game great for players who like having to think quickly.

The graphics are a outdated, the animated character of Chef Ramsay looks somewhat like the real Chef Ramsay. But don’t buy this game if you are looking for next generation graphics. The graphics fail to make you feel you are on the show.

The sound is just a low background noise; it doesn’t change at all during the game. Some variety would have been nice, maybe at least play the main theme song in the background. In a short amount of time you probably won’t even notice the background music while playing.

The creativity is severely lacking based on content. The game is extremely repetitious. Each day of the game you do basically the same thing only it gets a little harder. Over time you feel like you are in an endless loop of doing the exact same thing over and over each level you reach.

There is not much innovation to be found in this game. If you haven’t seen the show, the game could possibly convince you the show is boring. There is no excitement in this game. The only positive thing is that if you like quick thinking; you definitely feel the pressure as if you were on the show.
The bottom line: The game is not worth buying.
