Just Cause 2 Info
Release Date - March 23rd 2010
Developers - Avalanche
Game Rating (ESRB) - Mature
Platforms - PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.

---

Synopsis (From game case)
Your job is simple, find, capture, and kill a rogue agent. Create Chaos as you BASE jump, hijack, blow-up, race and sky-dive across 400 square miles of Panua Island. Hundreds of vehicles and weapons are at your disposal, including the traversal "Hook & Chute" combat system. The campaign is 7 missions total but they aren't able to be completed right after each other so don't think the game can be finished in an hour.

---

Gameplay
Just Cause 2 is a single player only game. You can download other vehicles, abilities, or weapons from Xbox Marketplace or Playstation Network. The game play is very unique, there is so much to do. You can virtually never run out of things to do if you have an imagination. I myself think that they should have multiplayer but I don't think that will be coming soon.

---

Graphics
The graphics in this game are outstanding. Your character's (Rico) outfit has great detail. The scenery of the island is amazing. From the mountains to the deserts to the ocean. Even when you swim under water graphics are great. The game's details never lag or under load if you have a clean disk.

---

Comments
I highly recommend this game to any player who likes free roam. Achievements are overall easy to get so it's not bad if you are an achievement hunter. The second version is much better than the original Just Cause so if you want a real fun game you should definitely try this out

Overall rating 8.5/10

I already made one. Look for it and add as reply.

Okay, so this game I heard about or discovered on the internet. It's a very entertaining game, and can be challenging. The objective of the game is simple, use strategy and skill to keep the balloons from going through the track. Now, this sounds easy but can be very challenging. Read on and discover why.

(Synopsis) Different types of Balloons/Their Lifes

Red Bloon the simplest bloon in the game. Moves slowly and only needs to be popped once to be removed forever. This is the bloon by which all others are compared. The Red Bloon Equivalent or RBE is a measure of how tough a given Round is, telling you how many pops you will need to pass the level.

Blue Bloon moves slightly faster than red, and when popped, contains a Red Bloon.

Green Bloon moves faster than blue, and spawns a Blue when popped.

Yellow Bloon moves fast and creates a Green in its place when popped.

Pink Bloon a new type to BTD4, moves even faster than Yellow, is even bigger and of
course contains 1 Yellow when popped. Be careful as these guys can take you by surprise with sheer speed.

Black Bloon small and sometimes hard to hit, contains 2 Pinks. Black Bloons are immune to bombs and bomb type effects, so remember to vary your tower selections.

White Bloon similar to black except White Bloons are immune to Ice Towers. Contain 2
Pinks.

Zebra Bloon Zebras are nasty, and new to BTD4, they combine the effects of Black and
White Bloons, making them immune to freezing and bomb effects. They move fast and contain 1 Black and 1 White Bloon.

Lead Bloon Everyones favourite to love to hate, the Lead Bloon is immune to anything sharp including darts, tacks, spikes, boomerangs and more. They have only 1 redeeming feature they move slowly. Lead Bloons contain 2 Black Bloons, thus requiring a bomb to break open and then anything but a bomb to finish off.

Camo Bloon These are new to BTD4 as well. Camos are dealt with very easily so long as you plan and dont panic. Camos will not be targeted by any tower that cannot see them. Luckily there are several upgrades in the game that allow nearby towers to see Camos. If you find yourself with no way to spot them, simply select Road Spikes and lay them near your towers. The projectiles from your towers that target the visible Bloons may break open more Camos. If you play it right, you may only need one or two Road Spikes to clear a

Camo round if you have no other way to see them. Mortar Towers can also be retargeted to hit Camo Bloons. In addition, Monkey Aces attack automatically, so if youre lucky, the Camos will fall to their powerful dart attacks.

Rainbow Bloon Contain 2 Zebras. They move fast and require lots of firepower to completely wipe out.

Ceramic Bloon These Bloons require 10 hits to break open and contain 2 Rainbow Bloons. You do not get money for damaging Ceramics, only destroying them. Ceramics move fast and although glue does stick to them, they are not slowed by it. This requires you to vary your strategy a little if you like going heavy with Glue Gunners or Monkey Glue.

MOAB Received an upgrade since BTD3, requiring 200 hits to break open. They contain 4 Ceramic Bloons which can make these hard to deal with without plenty of fast firing Towers such as Super Monkeys or Tacks. You can destroy them using only Road Spikes, but its not recommended unless you are making lots of cash from Banana Farms. MOABs move quite slowly. The MOAB Mauler upgrade for Bomb Towers is another useful way to take these down.

BFB These super sized MOAB look-a-likes are the most powerful thing the Bloons can throw at you. Each one requires 700 hits to destroy. Then, predictably, they contain 4 MOABs. This can mean that if your anti-MOAB towers are too clustered near the start, you may be in trouble. Luckily BFBs move very slowly.

Red 1 life
Blue 2 lives
Green 3 lives
Yellow 4 lives
Pink 5 lives
Black 11 lives
White 11 lives
Lead 23 lives
Zebra 23 lives
Camo 11 lives
Rainbow 43 lives
Ceramic 103 lives
MOAB 613 lives (yah gameover)
BFB if you must know 2884 lives

Leveling Up/Unlocking Towers

Now, when you first start playing you won't have access to the Super Monkey or the other High-Level Towers. To unlock towers, you have to pop balloons. Its kind of like leveling up in Call of Duty. There is no Maximum Level as far as I know. As you Level up you unlock towers, as you level up further you unlock upgrades, similar to attachments to weapon on CoD.




Dart Monkey - Simple monkey that throws darts.

Tack Shooter - An octagonal tower that shoots 8 darts in a circle around it.

Boomerang Thrower - A monkey that throws a 'boomerang'.

Bomb Tower - Shoots Bombs. Looks like a Cannon.

Ice Tower - Slows down/freezes/pops balloons in its perimisis.

Mortar Tower - Shoots Missiles up and you control where they hit.

Glue Gunner - Shoots glue on the bloons, slows them down.

Money Beacon - inceases 'power' of towers in its area.

Monkey Ace - Aviator Airplane that flies in an 8-Shape and shoots darts in all directions.

Monkey Buccaneer - Ship that can only be placed on maps that have water. Shoots really big darts.

Monkey Apprentice - Wizard Monkey He cats spells on bloons!

Super Monkey - Monkey that has a Superman Cape on. Personal favorite monkey in entire game! Shoots darts very fast! When you upgrade him he shoots lasers!

Banana Farm - At the end of every round it gives $50. As you level him up he gives $2,000.

Tacks - You have these from the start! Their tacks you put down on the track! They put about 5/6 damage. Non-Upgradable.

Glue - Just Glue you put on the track to slow monkeys down!

Pineapple Bomb - A bomb you can place anywhere on the track that has a 3-second-timer and then explodes!

(NEW) Spike Factory - A Swuare tower that throws tack on the track around it!

(NEW) Dartling Gun - A monkey on a turret/minigun that shoots tacks very fast!

My Personal Strategy (Works Great!)

Alright, so when the game starts, I immediately buy a Tack Shooter, and put it in a space that is surrounded by the track. Tack Shooters shoot out in 8 different directions. I then upgrade fully. Repeat in a different area. When the game starts to pick up buy more and more, these things do WORK!

I then buy a SuperMonkey and put it in the middle, this is because it will cover a massive amount of area and does great. Upgrade it. Now you should be bringing in good cash.

Upgrade the Bomb Towers to MOAB Maulers. This is because they do massive damage on MOABs. As you near further into the game this is all there is, and MOAB Maulers take them out very quickly. I set up around 40-50 MOAB Maulers around the front.

Then SuperMonkeys (Sun Gods) near the middle and around the rest of the track.

I also set up Banana Farms and upgrade them all the way. The Reason for this is they each bring in 8,000 at the end of every round. This makes swift cash easily. I put these near the bottom.

Then finally to top it off, I set a Monkey Apprentice near the end of the track and upgrade it fully. When they're fully upgraded it casts its WIZARLY SPELL to send bloons back to the beginning, and this very well might save your butt!

Overall Rating - 9.5/10

It's a very fun game, keeps me busy! It can be fun and challenging! Its exciting to find new ways to develop yourself in the game! Hope you guys play it!

Temple Run Game Review

"In pretty much every treasure hunting adventure movie theres one specific scene in which the plucky hero finally gets his hands on the treasure but then has to navigate a maze of booby traps in order to get out alive. Temple Run is this scene and nothing else. And its amazing." - SlideToPlay.com



The Gameplay of Temple Run is what makes it one of the most fun games i've ever played on the app-store. It never gets old, always keeps you attentive and wanting more. As you keep playing, the tempo picks up, you have to jump more, and duck more, as you escape the Forbidden Temple.

Controls

The controls to this game are very simple.

Swipe Left > Turn Left.
Swipe Right > Turn Right.
Swipe Up > Jump.
Swipe Down > Slide.

Powerups/Characters/Utilities/Challenges

As you play the game, you collect coins along the way. As you collect coins, you can purchase Characters or Powerups. Each Powerup does something special when your escaping the Temple. Each Character looks different (No special abilites though.)





Powerups
1) MegaCoin - A Powerup that when you get gives you Coins to spend!
2) Coin Magnet - Grabs coins like a magnet when you cant get them.
3) Invincibility - You don't have to duck/jump over/under objects.
4) Boost - Boosts you ahead so far and you dont have to turn/jump/duck.
5) Coin Value - As you go further in distance coins become worth money.

Are you getting all this?

Characters
1) Guy Dangerous - Starting Character
2) Scarlett Fox - 'Cunning Escape Artist'
3) Barry Bones - 'A city cop.'
4) Montana Smith - 'Second Greatest Explorer Ever.'
5) Francisco Montoya - 'The Conquistador.'
6) Zach Wonder - 'A Football Player.'

Utilities (One time uses.)
1) Angel Wings - When active you resurrect after death.
2) Boost - Boost ahead 1000m at beginning of the game.
3) Mega Boost - Boost ahead 2500m at beginning of game.

Challenges
There are far too many challenges to put here. But each one is fun to achieve. Im down to 5 more, and they're very challenging. I wish you luck! Download the game to see them.

Overall Thoughts/Comments

After playing this game all the time, i've realized how challenging it really is. It may seem easy at first, but I challenge you to get Level 5 on all Powerups, Unlock all the Challenges and Characters, and beat my high-score of 3.3Million.
