Review- Rampage Total Destruction

Game: Rampage Total Destruction

Console: wii

Rating: E for everyone 10+

Price: $29.99

My mom went to "Toys R Us" last week and surprised us when she got back she had bought “Rampage Total Destruction”.

The goal of the game is to beat each challenge, each boss and unlock all 40 monsters. You have to destroy each neighborhood in each town it sends you to. There are 40 different monsters but you only start off with 4 or 5.

The game is multi player but you need two controllers and two nunchucks. The Graphics are Cartoonish but I think kids and adults who like cartoons would like them. The game is very easy to play until you get far in the game then it gets kind of hard.

I think it’s a fun game and I bet you will too if you like destroying things. I have not played the game with friends as a multi player game yet because we only have one nunchuck my friends like to play it single player though.

I will continue playing this game and think it’s a good addition to our Wii games! My opinion is that people should rent the game and if they like it they should go buy it.

I give the game “Rampage” 6 of 10 stars for my personal game rating!

“Mom’s Opinion”I think that for the low price it’s a good game to add to your Wii Library!

News- Massively addicting Games WoW

In “Yahoo Games” this week there’s an article about massively addicting games namely “World of Warcraft”

Mike Smith at Yahoo asks “As millions continue to spend large quantities of time in virtual worlds, what effect is this having on the real one?”
“The eight million players of massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft don't really change the game's world. Even if you spend all night slaying an epic dragon, it'll still be alive again in time for the next team of intrepid adventurers. But in some cases, the compelling, addictive gameplay characteristic of many massively multiplayer games can have devastating impacts on the real worlds of their players.”

Personally I think the problem begins with lack of self discipline. It would be easy to let the excitement of the game suck you in for hours and hours a day. Even I have been guilty of all night raids in WoW! You need to have a Game Play plan action plan!
Example? I will Play 1 hour of video games per 1 hour of studying my Schoolwork.

Rampage Total Destruction

Just went and picked up "Rampage" From Toys R Us!
My son will be doing a review on this game sometime next week since he is the one who can't seem to put it down!
It's looks like a fun game~ I have yet to play it. We need to pick up some more nunchucks!

Review- Nostromo SpeedPad n52

First I would like to let you read Belkins product description for the n52

"Built to conquer your enemy, the Nostromo SpeedPad n52 captures all the advantages of its critically acclaimed predecessor, the n50, and cranks up the juice with advanced options to dominate your game. It puts keyboard and gamepad functionality into one small and easy-to-use device, delivering more tools for customizing your game than ever. Using feedback from hundreds of gamers, our engineers designed the n52's intuitive nature and stylish versatility to give you easy access to your arsenal of deadly maneuvers. So start programming up to 104 functions now-and watch how dangerous you become."

My huge Mistake!
In my experience I have always used a keyboard and mouse while gaming. I saw one of these but never placed much stake into it. I didn’t think that it was worth it and never bothered to check it out.

Well Now!
I bought my Nostromo SpeedPad n52 about 2 months ago. I now have a hard time looking back and saying why didn’t I buy this along time ago. This Beast allows you to reach 24 actionable buttons with one hand. The D-pad replaced my old style of movement and allows the user to remain ready to attack on the shortest notice. The arch in the palm area lets you rest your hand
So those long hours of gaming never wear on me.

The programmable macros are not required to use the device. I currently only use them for Stealth. But there is a ton of opportunity here. With this fully configurable device you can map any Keyboard button or combo to 1 button on the Nostromo. The macros can also space out the amount of time between actions if needed

In short I will never look back now that I have this Weapon of mass destruction!
Game On
