Game Review 2

My second review is on a game called Kute Little Aliens. The game is a point-and-click adventure game about a colony of aliens that you guide to a new civilization. The game is very clever, but it doesn't keep your interest for very long. It kind of works on a trial and error based system. If you choose to go one way the game may be over but if you choose the other way, the story continues. The game could have been more in depth, but overall it was interesting and had the right idea for a great game.

Game Review 1

The first game I am reviewing is Zeit Geist. It is an action side-scroller game with some educational information about history. The game is very clever to include as much as it does. Some points that could be improved are the collision detection during the side scrolling and the game could use some more animation, but when compared to alot of the other games, you can tell alot of time and effort was put into this game. Overall I enjoyed playing Zeit Geist and would recommend it for others to try.

the beginning

Tomorrow we will be meeting for class and discussing our game ideas. I haven't really decided what I really want to do for my game yet. I'm sure something will come to me. I've been spending my time messing with the wiki page we created last Friday. I created a link to my blogger page, and messed with creating different sized headings, and colors, and such.

The First Day

Today was mostly spent setting up accounts for blogging and wiki pages. We were given our class syllabus and went over what we would be covering throughout the course of this semester. So today was mostly an orientation day.
