Poker Pals – Good, but it could be better

I’m a sucker for poker games so a combination of poker and Scrabble grabbed my attention. It sounds like a great idea in theory and it does work pretty well, but it feels like something is missing with Poker Pals. The basic premise is this, you try to make poker hands using the cars in your hand to extend the cards that have already been played. Like Scrabble, you build off other hands to create an even more powerful hand for yourself. It’s a great idea, but the execution isn’t all that thrilling. The game isn’t bad, but I feel it was lacking something. It doesn’t have that thrill like Swords and Poker. The Scrabble element is there, but it doesn’t do much to enhance the game. It’s a nice addon, but it needs more. You can place cards anywhere so you don’t get that same sense of strategy. It’s not like Scrabble where you’re only one letter away from […]

Paranormal Activity

Halloween may be over, well the date has passed but Halloween is never really over, but I just got around to watching Paranormal Activity 2 and 3. I missed out on all the fun for Halloween so I spent the day getting caught up. I liked that the movies are actually prequels to each other. I also through it was pretty slick that Paranormal Activity 2 leads into and has footage from the original Paranormal Activity movie. That’s an interesting technique and really pulls the two movies together. I can’t really say that PA2 was scarier than the first since I didn’t think the first one was scary. It had some fun moments where people get drug down the hall, the loud bangs, the shadows and movement out of the corner of your eye, but I really don’t see how anyone except the biggest sissy would get up and walk out of these movies because they’re too scary. What the […]

Zombieville USA 2

I’m not sure how I feel about this game. I like the graphics, I like the weapons, I like that you just start over when you get turned into zombie chow, and I think I like the timer. But I’m not so sure about that thumbstick controller. It’s too easy to slide out of the space and then your character stops moving. Seconds later his head is being eaten. There is also doing a lot of the same levels over and over again to try and get cash and weapons. It also seems like the graphics are a little too big, like the main character takes up too much of the screen. Fans of the original will have to get use to the new movement controls, they are vastly different. Yes, you will hit and miss a lot more often. Overall the game is still a great value at $0.99 and give you tons of replay value. This is a […]
