A Day Of Play

Hi Everyone!

picture of DJ smiling during his daily postingToday is going to be a really short posting.

After a great morning walk with Mama and Dada, I have been playing a lot of video games.I have been playing the Madagascar 2: Back2Africa that I posted on. It is a great game to play with many different levels of play.

After lunch, I decided to watch some cartoons on Cartoon Network. I really like the Tom & Jerry Show a lot. I have watched them since I was really little.

Later today, I may take a short nap and then play some games on my computer. You can see that I am having a great day.

I hope that your day is great too  I will be taking a day off tomorrow and will be back next week. Have a safe and fun weekend.! Please Click To Comment

Hi Everyone!

picture of dj smiling during his daily postingI was really surprised when Mama came home today with a big surprise. She brought the latest PlayStation 2 game: Madagascar 2: Escape 2 Africa.

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is a third-person action/adventure game based on the CG film of the same name. Like the movie, the game follows the antics of Alex the Lion, Marty the Zebra, Gloria the Hippo, Melman the Giraffe, and the rest of the Madagascar crew, including the shifty penguins and the fun-loving lemurs. The characters are put through a series of constantly changing activities as they make their way from Madagascar to Africa. And while the game doesn’t boast the same celebrity voice cast of its film counterpart, the stand-ins do an admirable job that will fool all but the savviest of younger gamers.

For example, Alex can roar to scare enemies or climb walls using his claws, while Melman can use his long legs to ride around on boulders or spin them to fly like a helicopter. This means that players are constantly changing who they control in order to solve the next task, helping to keep the game play varied and fun. The tasks range greatly, having players drive a jeep one moment, before flying a monkey operated helicopter, followed by kicking around a few soccer balls.

In addition to the main story mode, there is also a multiplayer component to the game. Most of these are jungle themed plays on classic games, such as chess, mini-golf, or match, complete with new “jungle” twists on the rules. Overall, there is a total of 10 different games that can be played by more than one person.

I have been playing this game all day and I can say this: if you like the first game, you will love this second edition. For the person who played the first game this one will be no problem as they play every much alike.

Here is a video trailer showing the main characters of the game:

Hi Everyone!

DJ smiling during his daily postingI hope that you had a enjoyable and safe weekend.

I have to be very honest with you: I have had my cousin at my house for the past few days and we have been playing games, non-stop, each and everyday. It has been a great time and I was sad when he had to go home last night.

One of the many games that we were playing was Ben 10: Protector of Earth. Ben 10: Protector of Earth is a video game based on the American animated television series Ben 10. The Emmy®-winning Ben 10 on Cartoon Network has a devoted fan base with over five million boys tuning in each month and millions more logging on to play Ben 10 games online. Two long form movies for the show have debuted, and the series is successful at retail level with a top-selling, award-winning toy line.

At first glance, 10-year-old Ben looks like your average, everyday kid, but upon closer inspection it’s plain to see he’s the world’s youngest action hero stopping evildoers from Earth and space! With the help of the Omnitrix, Ben can transform into heroic alien forms with extraordinary powers. The evil Vilgax, with the help of Kevin 11 and the Forever Knights, has set in motion a plan to capture the Omnitrix and the world is in danger…Ben 10: Protector of Earth is an exciting game full of familiar characters on a quest to stop Vilgax and save the day!

I will, now, ask Dada to help me explain the details of game play.

Thanks, DJ! Get Closer than Ever to Ben 10’s World - For the first time, gamers will direct Ben’s decisions and actions as he works to save the world. Engage in all new experiences with never-before-seen locations, enemies and characters for totally unique adventures, and defend favorite locations from the best of the Ben 10 TV show episodes against familiar foes.
Play As Multiple Aliens with Special Superpowers - The best-loved alien forms from the show are playable and interchangeable as you use their assorted skills to tackle the game’s diverse challenges, puzzles and skirmishes-use the Omnitrix to play as HeatBlast, FourArms, XLR8, CannonBolt or WildVine.

There is an exceptional level of authenticity - The game’s art style, sound effects and music are 100% authentic, with all audio in the game pulled directly from the show sound vaults and all voice acting provided by the original television cast.
Solid and Robust Gameplay - Explore 14 levels across five regions of the USA plus numerous Challenge and Secret Locations; use 80-plus combat combination options, engage in exhilarating boss battles, try out Two-Player Co-Op Mode, and collect Sumo Slammer cards to unlock bonus content.

In the beginning, Ben can stay an alien for a limited amount of time, but after defeating some bosses, Ben unlocks more powers for his aliens and even unlocks the master code, meaning he can stay alien for an infinite amount of time or switch between aliens without draining Omnitrix energy. Attack combos can be unlocked collecting Omnitrix points. Limited power boosts or invincibility can be gathered, as well as bonuses to make the Omnitrix recharge faster. Three Sumo Slammer cards are hidden in each main level, and once collected unlock features, such as movie clips.

After each level, Plumber ranks are rewarded, depending on how fast the player beats that level. If the player gets an A rank, you get a character view, usually a boss or a villan. In the main boss levels, a God of War styled button sequence allows players to execute a special attack at certain points.

Back to you DJ! Thanks, Dada, this is a great game that is difficult enough to give the players hours and hours of fun. I watch Ben 10 everyday on Cartoon Network and I have many of the Ben 10 toys. I guess you can say that I am a great big Ben 10 fan and you would be right.

I give Ben 10: Protector of Earth:

Hi Everyone!

Picture of DJ smiling during his daily posting

Today, I would like to tell you about a PlayStation 2 game that I have been playing for the last year and a half.

Pac-Man World Rally is a rather simple kart racing game that is a great “starter” video game for very young children.

I’ll let my Dada explain some of the details of the game and then I will be right back. Over to you Dada!

Thanks DJ! This game seems aimed very squarely at a more youthful audience.This kart racer game borrows liberally from Nintendo’s Mario Kart series, though it does try to toss in a couple of Pac-centric game play concepts to give the game its own spin.

 A number of key characters from the Pac-Man universe take to the tracks in World Rally, including Ms. Pac-Man, Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and of course, the great Pac himself. You’ll also find slightly less memorable characters from the Pac-Man World games, like Tac-Man, Spooky, and Pac-Devil. Though each driver has ratings in a few different attributes, who you choose to drive with is purely an aesthetic choice since all the karts handle the same.

For the most part, World Rally plays very much like a Mario Kart clone, especially when it comes to combat. The weapons, while visually different, often function similar to many of the weapons used in the Mario Kart games. The developer did try to give the game a bit of the Pac-Man fever by providing collectible fruit and power pills throughout the various tracks. Collecting fruit gives you access to the aforementioned shortcuts. Collecting enough power pills activates a goofy invincibility mode where all the other racers on the course turn into helpless blue ghosts, and you become a jaunty mechanical Pac-Man with a big, chomping mouth that can snack upon those ghost drivers when you come in contact with them. While these are certainly welcome additions to what is otherwise a very straightforward formula piece, the game is already decisively easy.

 There’s not an awful lot of complex workings to Pac-Man World Rally’s package. Apart from the circuit mode, there’s a quick-race option, as well as a few marginal battle modes that range from simple death matches to fruit and power-pill collection challenges. The PlayStation Portable version also includes a few specific challenge modes, like a time-based race where you have to collect power pills and clocks to keep a timer from expiring before you finish the race, as well as a letter hunt where you have to collect letters that spell out the word Pac-Man. Now, back to DJ!

Thanks, Dada! I know that this game is quite easy to play but if you are looking to find a game to start a very young child on a PlayStation 2 or other interactive video game platform then this is a safe choice. The games is rate for all ages. Even after learning so many more difficult video games, I still enjoy coming back to this game for hours of simple fun.

I rate this game:

Hi Everyone!

Picture of DJ smiling during his daily postingToday, was a beautiful day!

I woke up this morning with the sun shining bright in my window. It was so nice to see the sun and the blue sky after so many weeks of clouds, rain and storms. I could not wait to finish breakfast so I could go outside and play with my friends.

After playing games with my friends, I helped Mama clean-up the yard. There was a lot to clean-up from the windy storms. We trimmed the plants, trees and the grass. It really got hot in the afternoon so I went inside and played games in the house. Later in the afternoon, I went outside and played some more.

It was a really great day.
Here is a cartoon from the past to show how to have fun on a really beautiful day.
