Colassatron

Hey guys, JB here again. Now I will be reviewing Colassatron, a game by Halfbrick. This game is a survival game where you are a giant robotic snake that is trying to destroy the world. You have little control over the snake, and the largest influence you have is that toucan add different weapons to Colassatron. The 3 primary colours will spawn randomly throughout your game, and with them you can create a purple weapon, an orange weapon, and a green weapon. All the weapons will cycle every 4 hours, but you can permanently unlock them for 15 prisms, which you earn after each game. You can also combine 3 of the same colour weapon to make a more powerful one, and if you combine that one with 2 other of the same colour and power, you will make an even stronger one. Overall, this game is a fun game to play if you don't have WiFi or data.

CSR Racing 2

Hey guys, it's JB again. Today I will be reviewing CSR 2, a drag racing game made by Natural Motion. In CSR 2, your goal is to find out who stole one of your friend's cars by gaining the respect of different crews. You do this by beating the members of the crew in a drag race. This game is the third game in the CSR series (There was CSR Classic) and I prefer this game to CSR or CSR Classic because there are more cars and most of the cars are cooler. There is also a multiplayer mode where you can race other players. I am already in the final race of the final crew and use a Lamborghini Huracan. There is a large selection of cars from the Golf GTI to the Hennessey Venom GT. So far, I have the Golf GTI, the Subaru WRX STI, the Mustang GT, the Nissan GTR Premium, and the Lamborghini Huracan. This game is definitely fun and I recommend it.

Hocus

         Today, I will be reviewing Hocus, a game by gamebra.in. This is a really weird game where you try to get to the end, but the track is usually a perspective puzzle, or an impossible shape. The best way to complete a level is to explore every possibility until you find a successful one. These puzzles can be really confusing, but fun if you can figure them out. Overall, I recommend this game if you want a quick game to play that uses no data and little storage.

Fallout Shelter

Hey guys, it's JB. Today I will be reviewing Bethesda Studios' Fallout Shelter. In Fallout Shelter, you are the Overseer of a vault, which is basically a giant bunker. In the Xbox game, you learn that these were built in case of a nuclear war. In Fallout Shelter, this has obviously happened and you, as the Overseer, are trying to keep everyone in your vault alive and happy for as long as possible. There are 3 different resources in Fallout Shelter, and they are power, food, and water. Without power, your vault will shut down and your rooms won't make any resources. Without water, your dwellers will start to get radiation poisoning, and without food they will slowly lose health until they die. Some other resources are Stim-Paks and Rad-Aways. Stim-Paks can be used to heal a dweller, and Rad-Aways can be used to stop radiation poisoning. The way to start producing these resources is to assign dwellers to rooms to produce them. Some dwellers are better at certain rooms than others, as indicated by their S.P.E.C.I.A.L score. There are two main currencies, and those are Caps and Nuka-Cola Quantum. Nuka-Cola Quantum is used to speed things up, and Caps are used to buy said things. You can also send Dwellers out into the Wasteland to fight enemies, collect loot, and gain experience. There are things called lunch boxes, which are the "Mystery Boxes" of
the game. There is only 2 ways to get them; buying them with actual money, and getting them from missions. As you can see, this game can get really complicated, but if you can manage the chaos, this game is worth it.

Stack

          Hello. Today I will be reviewing Stack, a game by Ketchapp. This is an arcade-style game where you try to stack blocks, but there's a twist: it's in 3D. The blocks alternate directions, which adds another level of challenge. This game is simple but addictive, and has already wasted 1.5 hours of my life, and is sure to use up much more. My high score is 52, and that was achieved on my second to last round. Overall, I recommend this game if you want a simple, but addictive game that uses no data and little storage.

Battle Bay

Hey guys. Today I will be reviewing Battle Bay, a third person shooter from Rovio. The object of this game is to kill the 5 ships on the other team before your team is killed. Another way to win is to capture an area in the center of the map. This game uses a decent amount of storage. Battle Bay also has a very long tutorial, but it's worth it. This game does have in-app purchases, but they are not necessary to play. Overall, Battle Bay is a fun third person shooter game made by Rovio for mobile.

Asphault 8

        Hello, it's JB again. Today I will be reviewing Asphalt 8: Airborne​, a racing game by Gameloft. It's a very fun game, and is a game where you can race around a track instead of drag racing. There are many cool cars and fun modes. The cars are well balanced and the races require skill, not just a good car, and there is a wide variety of cars to chose from. One downside is that this game requires almost a gigabyte of storage, so you may have to clear out some other games. It also has lots of things happening, so it might lag on slower phones. Overall, if you have a good phone and lots of storage, I recommend this game because it is fun, requires skill, and is different than the typical drag racing game.

RoverCraft

RoverCraft

Hello. Today I am going to be reviewing a very fun game called RoverCraft. It's a lot like Hill Climb Racing, but better. In RoverCraft, you are trying to build a rover and drive the farthest distance before running out of power or dying. First, you design a rover. It must have wheels, a cockpit, and a battery. After you design your rover, you venture out and try to travel as far as possible. You can buy other wheels, batteries, frames, and cockpits. You can even buy a rocket! Using all these items, you must drive over hills, valleys, and sometimes random blocks. Everything is not square, thankfully. After you drive a certain distance, you will need to refuel. There are battery packs across the map that allow you to refuel. There are also coins of different values between you and your goal.

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Another Blog! Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is the latest Call of Duty game and it is made by Infinity Ward, who made the Modern Warfare series. There is 3 game modes; campaign, zombies, and multiplayer. This game's campaign doesn't continue the Modern Warfare campaign, so you can just play this without buying Modern Warfare. This game comes with 1 Zombies map, which is titled Zombies in Spaceland. This is an abandoned theme park overrun with zombies. It's a decent map, and a little easier than Shadows of Evil. The multiplayer is definitely fun, and they have included upgraded weapons, but anyone can get them. I spend most of my time playing Multiplayer. There are many fun maps and gamemodes.

Terraria

Terraria

      
       Hello again. Now I will be reviewing Terraria, a fun 2D game where you can explore, build, mine, fight bosses, and befriend NPCs. It sounds like Minecraft, but the more you play, the less the games are similar. You start out in a world with 1 NPC, your guide. He is helpful, but if you play the tutorial, his advice is repetitive. The first thing you should do is chop down a tree with your axe and build a house for him. A house has to be 6 blocks tall and 12 blocks wide, have walls, a door, a light source, a table, and a chair. There are many more NPCs that you will either find or will come to you. They can sell very useful items. They also need houses. The goal of this game is to beat the Wall of Flesh. To do this, you have to go to the underworld, get a guide voodoo doll, throw it into lava, and kill it. This activates hard mode, where everything is harder. (Wow, never would have guessed.) To truly win, you must do this again.
There are many weapons and tools, and tons of artifacts, armors, and items.

Rodeo Stampede

Rodeo Stampede

      

       Hello. I know I haven't posted in a while, so I am going to do 4 other posts today. I am going to be reviewing Rodeo Stampede, a fairly popular game at my school and a fun time-killer. In Rodeo Stampede, you are trying to tame animals for your zoo to make money. You do this by riding animals in a stampede and jumping from animal to animal. You have to stay on each different animal for a certain amount of time. There is a meter to the side of the animal. Be careful, though. The animals try to throw you off! There are missions you can do to make money to buy or upgrade your animal habitats so you can get cool bonuses in the stampede. The more animals you have, the more money you make every time your park opens. This is a third-person running game similar to Temple Run, but there is more movement.
