New Super Mario Bros 2

New Super Mario Bros 2 is a Mario game where you have to defeat Bowser and rescue princess Peach. There are 9 worlds you can finish but only 6 are required to beat the game. Each world has several levels, one tower and one castle to beat. Every tower has you go upward and at the top are Reznors. Reznors are triceratops like creatures that reside on giant wheels and spit fireballs. At the end of each castle is one of 7 Koopalings, and each Koopaling is very different. For example in world 2 Castle Iggy( a Koopaling) has a Chain Chomp Pulled cart. There is also a lot of gold in this game and a meter for counting all the gold that you collect. This is a great Mario game. I give this 4.5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski(for 3Ds

Skylanders Battlegrounds

Skylanders Battlegrounds is the third skylanders game for tablets and phones. This game has moving around and battling enemies on a battlefield. When your skylander move onto the same spot as a enemy you enter battle.The way battle works is you draw a line from your skylander to the enemy to attack it and after you have depleted it's HP it is defeated, and you draw a line to an empty space to move there. Unfortunately you can't attack while moving so it is very hard to get away from enemies' attacks and that can lead to your defeat. There are two kinds of attacks, close up and long range, long range work better up close but can be use no matter what but close up can only be used up close. Also battles take awhile, so losing can be frustrating. This would all be fine if the game didn't cost 6.99 which is a lot for what you get. I give this game 3 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski (IPhone/IPad App)

THE WII U

The Wii U is Nintendo's Latest system and it is a lot like the Wii but different. The main difference Between the 2 is the Wii U's game pad which allows you to do some things on it like navigate the menu. The Wii U also has Miiverse, a place to go where other people have said thing about games and give useful tips. There are 2 sets of Wii Us that you can buy, the basic set which has 8GB of memory and cost's $300  and the deluxe set which has 32GB of memory, has Nintendo land ( a game) and cost's $350. There are tons more features on the Wii U but they cannot be contained in 1 blog post. I rate the Wii U 4 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski

Skylanders: Lost Islands

Skylanders Lost Islands is a game where you Spend in game money to build houses and other places for homeless Mabu. You use your skylanders to go on missions and collect money but this costs energy, which costs money, so it can take a while to earn money. Some things cost gems, which are hard to come by and the fasted way to get them is by using real money. Unfortunately skylanders cost a lot of gems, but if you buy them in the store you can enter the codes for them. This game is basically the skylanders version of Snoopy's street fair and Ice Age village, But I like this better because if you buy skylanders for other game you can put them to use here. I give this 3.5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski  (IPhone/IPad App)

The Movie Wreck-it Ralph

If your wondering why i'm blogging about a movie I'll tell you. Wreck-it Ralph is a movie about a arcade game villain, Ralph, whose has been a bad guy for 30 years and wants a medal, something only heroes get. And that's when Ralph sets out on a quest to get a medal. Shortly after Ralph sets out his game's hero, Fix-it Felix, comes to find him before their game is unplugged( the worst that can happen to a game character and their game). Wreck-it Ralph is a fantastic movie and you'll be a wreck if you don't see it.

Bad Piggies Pictures

Here are some great screen shots of the game Bad Piggies

Pokemon Dream Radar

Pokemon Dream Radar is a game where you shoot a beam at clouds to catch pokemon, get item and collect dream orbs(the game's money). The pink clouds you shoot contain dream orbs and the gray clouds contain pokemon, item and sometimes dream orbs. When you hit gray clouds and a moving orbs comes out you must hit it with your beam, hold down the button while following the pokemon(or item) closely, and to catch it you have to fill up the bar on the top before time runs out. You can send any pokemon and items you collect to pokemon black and white 2 if they are in the 3DS. You can use dream orb to get to areas with more pokemon or items, Make your beam stronger, extend catching time and increase the number of clouds. But clouds have to reboot for a while( for ten it is 45 minutes) and this can halt game play. You also gather dream orbs ( this means you just have to get that many not keep them) to see the 3 legendary Pokemon. I rate this 3.5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski(3Ds App)

Skylanders: giants

Skylanders Giants is the second Skylanders game where you put toys on the Portal of Power and send them into the game. The game starts out in a toy store where you see Kaos ( the original villain of skylanders) on shelf as he uses the store's portal to get back to skylands and , as luck would have it, he was sent to a evil robot that was used to take over skylands 10,000 years ago. You now must send the giants to skylands to save from Kaos. The giants have special powers that let them do things like break cracked walls and floors. There are 8 giants and 8 brand new skylanders, 8 lightcore skylanders and 24 series 2 skylanders, but the giants are the stars of the show. I found that my old skylanders didn't work as well as they did in the first game even though I was gentle with them and skylanders also cost more. But I know a trick to get old skylanders working, put 1 working skylander on the portal of power then put older one on at the same time, next take the other skylander of and old one should work. This is a good game but is held back by being more money then the first. I give this 4 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski

Tentacles: Enter the Dolphin

Tentacles  is a game where you guide a creature thourgh the inside of this scientist's body. You tap on surfaces on the screen to move and tap other creatures eyes to eat them and restore health. A weird as this sounds this game is a lot of fun, and gets harder the farther you go. After you finish each level you get stars for how you did. This game also has intense music that gives it a creepy atmosphere. The story is that scientist Dr. Phluff( who for some reason has a dolphin head) was trying to create the worlds cutest octopus, but when he look at his creation under a microscope it was ugly and he threw a temper tantrum and accidentally swallowed it. This is a fun game. I rate it 4 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski

There is also Pokestar studios where you make movies, and Pokemon world tournament where you can battle gym leaders from past games. And all of the Pokemon gyms have been redesigned. These are the first Pokemon titles with 2 in them and some of the best game. I give this 5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski

When you build, there are many factors you have take into consideration like weight and balance. So far there are 2 sets of levels, ground hog day ( where you use mainly wheels) and When pigs fly( where you fly a lot ). There are also the sand box levels where you build any thing you like to collect star boxes. Each level has 3 stars to obtain in various ways or by collecting star boxes. But you should be careful with you vehicles because they can break and the pig can fall out. You also collect skulls to unlock a special sandbox level. Bad Piggies is one of the best games out there and is sure to be a success. I give this 5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski.IPhone/IPad

Skylanders: Cloud Patrol is a game for the iPhone and iPad in which you shoot trolls that have escaped from jail. You can be killed by being shot or shooting bombs. You start out with trigger happy but can get more skylanders by buying them with gems or entering their codes. There isn't much variety  and sometimes the game freezes. I give this 3 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski

Kirby's Epic Yarn

Kirby's Epic Yarn is a Kirby game where Kirby is transformed into yarn(by the evil yarn magician Yin Yarn).  He is transported to land called Patch Land where he helps his new friend,Prince Fluff, get magic yarn to sew patch land back together and save dream land from Yin Yarn. Kirby can unravel foes by hitting the attack button or turn them into balls of yarn by holding the attack button. Kirby can't fly in this game but he can turn into a parachute by pressing and holding the jump button after he jumps. In this game he can turn into other forms by grabbing special patches. You can also play a two play mode with the other player being Prince Fluff. Each level also has 3 things to collect, two pieces of furniture, and a music CD. This game is a masterpiece! I give it 5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski (Wii)

Bouncer can shoot from his fingers, shot lasers from his eyes and target and launch missiles. Swarm can fly, shoot his stingers and slash with them.

Skylanders : Spyro's adventure

Each Skylander falls into one of 8 elements: magic, tech, water, fire, air, earth, life and undead. There are 32 different Skylanders in all plus 6 more different colored ones. The story behind the game is that the villain Kaos ( a dorky little guy who acts tough) has destroyed the core of light allowing the darkness to return and it's up to you and the Skylanders to take it back, piece by piece. My complaints are that the game costs a lot and sometimes when Portal of Power runs out of batteries you have to reboot the game. I rate this 4 out of 5 stars.I will also mention that the next game, Skylanders giants, is coming out in October. By Nick Starceski. Wii

This update opens with the birds on mars watching the rover Curiosity parachuting down to the surface of the planet.  The pigs view this also and decide to use Curiosity to steal the birds' eggs. These levels are set on mars with a lot of new additions to the game play. For example the new space object, asteroids, are objects that split into five pieces that explode when they hit some thing. Also mars has a lot of wind that shifts your birds path. Finally instead of Eggsteroids you collect rovers which are based off of real rovers and if you tap the i you can learn more about each rover. This is a welcome update. By Nick Starceski

Ice Age Village

Ice Age Village is a game where you make a village of prehistoric creatures with an ice age theme. This game is a lot like Snoopy's Fair only you get money faster, but it is very easy to accidentally to spent half your money and can be extremely frustrating. also acorns, the things that are hard to get unless you spend money, are more of the currency than coins. also you need to complete a family of animals for it to count which make things 4 time more money and babies can take hours and hours.  I rate this 2 out of 5 stars.

After you beat the first two bosses classic sonic learns modern sonic's homing attack which makes classic sonic more like modern sonic, but you don't have to use it. And modern sonic learn stomp a little after classic sonic learns homing attack. The story is that modern sonic and tails team up with there classic selves on a time traveling adventure to defeat a unknown enemy. But sometimes the controls are bit imprecise. My favorite level is the race against metal sonic. I rate this 4.5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski 3Ds

Snoopy's street fair is a free peanuts base game where you buy things with Snoopy bucks and tokens to make a fair near Charlie Brown's house. There are items that make money like stands(which man themselves) and booths (which are manned by a peanuts characters) but a lot of things cost snoopy bucks which are hard to come by without spending real money.

Angry Birds Space: Utopia update

Recently in Angry birds space there was a update finishing the utopia levels and adding the new antenna egg levels.

Amazing Alex

Amazing Alex is a game from the creators of Angry Birds.  You place platforms and other things to achieve things like get a ball in a basket or pop a balloon. The levels are easy at first but get tons tougher the more you progress in the game.  There are a few nods to angry birds, there's even a level where you launch a doll to break a green piggy bank it's called "angry doll".This is a great game. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars and give it a A for awesome. By Nick Starceski. IPhone/Ipad

Angry Birds Rio

Angry Birds Rio is an Angry Birds game based on the FOX animated movie Rio. This game has most of the birds from the first game and some new ones based on characters from the movie but the game play is mostly the same, which is good. It is also one of the most beautiful games. But instead of bashing pigs, you either free caged birds or defeat monkeys. This is another good angry birds game. I rate this 5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski. IPhone/IPad

Scribblenauts Ipad version

Scribblenauts is a game where you enter words and adjectives to help you solve a level. For example if you need a giant flying zombie, just enter the words and you've got a giant flying zombie! But the entering of letters can be slow and there is only 50 levels. So it's a bit short. And controlling Maxwell can be tough.  But other than that I found no problems with the game. I rate this 4 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski.

Angry Birds Seasons

Angry Birds Seasons is a holiday themed angry birds game, that includes holidays such as Christmas, Valentine's day and Halloween. It was also the first game in which my favorite bird, Orange bird, was introduced, and you can take out Santa Pig!

Cut The Rope

Cut The Rope is game where you slide your figure across some rope to cut it and fed the candy at the end to the monster(which is adorable). The puzzles can be complex and action packed, especially when
a spider is trying to get the candy. For the best score try to get all three stars through out the level, but as you get more into the game, some stars have a limited time period for you to get them. So as you can see, this isn't just kid stuff. This is cute, challenging  game for all ages. I rate this 5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski. IPhone

Where's My Water

Where's My Water is a game where you have to get water to an alligator, named Swampy, for his shower. You get it to him by cutting dirt with your finger. But there are dangers too, like poison  and ooze and mud, but they can be helpful, like mud can make new paths, and poison kills mold, ooze turns mold into stone, and when combined poison and ooze will blow up. There is steam, which will go upwards, and water turns into steam when it hits hot rocks and steam turns into water when it hits ice. There is also wind which pushes water. In each level you can collect 3 rubber ducks. This is a great game with so much to do. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski. Iphone/IPad

The purple birds that can change path mid flight. The ice birds, they are kind of like black birds that freeze stuff. This game has a lot of gravity involved. For example, in space you go in a straight line, but with gravity you curve. This is a great game. I rate it 5 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski.IPhone/IPad

Margot's word brain

Margot's word brain is one of the worst games EVER. It only has six games, each of which is awful. The animation is the worst ever. And besides, what game says "YEAH!" after you lose?! This game is a joke! It was never meant to be played. I give it 0 out of 5 stars. By Nick Starceski.Wii
