My review on two games...

Student - Sammy the Salmon http://www.myglife.org/usa/wv/resources/en/play/Social/sammythesalmon
I really didn't understand the whole concept of this game. It asked me a random question about a random fish and I would get it wrong, and once I got it wrong an annoying "WRONG!" message popped up and gave me no hint on the right answer. So I repeatedly got the wrong answer as if the game expects me to be some kind of ichthyologist. After I had no choices left to choose but the right answer an annoying eye blinding rainbow color "CORRECT!" popped up. Then I immediately closed the game in disgust. How this is a social issue game, your guess is good as mine. I give this game a 3/10.

Non student - What would you do?

Unless you have the memory of an elephant you can't remember the 20 pages of text in the beginning about the story. Anyhow, the game itself had a good point what to do under peer pressure and what not. I give it a 7/10.

Almost..

Fixed up my blog friends and the google reader thing, was pretty easy. Then I found out we was getting out 3 hours early and lost all my interest in working whats so ever. Maybe tomorrow..

Globaloria

So far Globaloria has been a cool experience. Our class will be making civics games, but I'm not completely sure what I want to do yet. Maybe some kind of RPG. I'm excited to learn how to use flash and the steps to make a basic game. I'm nervous about all the obstacles that will get in the way. I hope everything goes smooth for me.
