Go to Town With Downtown Video Slots

Given that I really had been playing the slot machines, whenever and wherever I could for more years than I cared to remember, I did not really think I could get any surprises. I mean, surely once you have played one slot machine or video slot, you have played them all. And really how good and exciting could video slots be on a mobile phone? How would the fun and excitement of a game like that be captured on such a small mobile screen?

Well, I sure was in for a treat with Downtown Video Slots. There is quite a lot of money to be made (even though it is virtual) with Downtown Video Slots too. And having the ability to play it on the move frees up my time so I feel like I am having fun but without wasting time. For a start, Downtown Video Slots is not just one game; players get to choose from 6 different themes and cool icons so there is no chance of getting bored. You decide how many coins or paylines to choose from and what kind of profits you want to aim for; the higher the stakes, the higher the risks, but that is what makes Downtown Video Slots so much fun. If you are into rodeos you can choose the Rodeo Fever theme. You can also choose your level ? by selecting either quick game or career modes and when you play the game you actually feel like you are in a real casino. There is a lot more going on with Downtown Video Slots, including bonuses, jackpot rewards.

In terms of the actual game, with Quick Game you will be given one of any 5 machines (these are selected randomly) but with Career Mode, you get to choose one of the 5 machines. In terms of paylines, you press the left cursor or 4 to add lines and right or 6 to add coins for the next spin. And then you spin the reels. Check the payout table by pressing the # key. The advantage of quick game is the instant access to one of the 5 video slots beginning with $1,000 bankroll.

Career mode is slightly different as you begin with $1,000 and choose your machine. You have free access to the lobby and can select different machines as you wish. If you want to get to the real treasure, you need to increase your bankroll to $150,00 and then you will be able to access the 6th and final mystery machine. You have to hit the jackpot reward symbol on all 6 machines to win the game.

Make Lemonade From Lemons

I have always loved the phrase that if life serves you lemons, make lemonade. Well, now I am playing lemonade with Lemonade Tycoon, the fun mobile game I purchased on line for a mere $1.99. That must have been my first wise business move; all that great excitement for such a small price!I have played a few business simulation games in the past and they have never quite been my thing but somehow the graphics on this demo really attracted me to the game. I remember growing up with lemonade stands near our house during the hot summer days and maybe Lemonade Tycoon held some nostalgia for me. I was not sure what it was exactly but I guess it was a combination of a lot of great things going on, that made me want to purchase and play Lemonade Tycoon.Lemonade Tycoon lets you really get a feel for what (if any) entrepreneurial skills you have and if you could make it in the real business world. The idea is that you have a small business venture (the lemonade stand) and you have to see if you can develop it in to a big business. You want to choose where to put your stand (consider weather conditions); what specific recipe you want to use for your lemonade to make it the tastiest; what prices you are going to charge and how to manage your inventory. Although it may only be a lemonade stand, all of these aspects are the crucial basics of running a business, large or small.If you do make correct and wise business decisions playing Lemonade Tycoon you get more in the game, like being able to buy a larger refrigerator and moving to a higher traffic location (for more customers to buy your lemonade). With realistic simulations and lots of different customers with fun personalities, Lemonade Tycoon is a fun game to play on the mobile to get you thinking about if you might be the next Donald Trump!

Take Care of Virtual Bear

Because Teddy Bears Need Love Too

Remember the days when you were small and you had a little teddy bear that went everywhere with you and comforted you when you were sad? I remember it well. I had Tony the Teddy Bear and I used to cry in to his chest and play with him and sleep with him held tight. He was a real source of comfort. In fact, even now, aged 32, I still have him with me. Tony has helped me through many a crisis. Well, when I saw that I could purchase Virtual Bear for my mobile phone, I jumped at the chance. I guess it was for personal, nostalgic reasons initially. This virtual bear that you have to take care of, reminded me exactly of Tony. He looked just like him but without the weird smile. The weird smile was good for me though; it just made me laugh.

Feel Maternal Taking Care of Virtual Bear

With Virtual Bear on my mobile phone, all my 'maternal instincts' came out. I knew I had to be on top of it as it were at all times. There were times I had to feed it, clothe it, train it and even play with it, just like I guess one does with a real child. And I got really in to it. It felt good because I knew it was counting on me. In fact with Virtual Bear, if you do not do all these things it will die! It is almost like it can die of a broken heart if it is not loved in the way it is meant to be. It may a little too realistic for some, but I had fun playing 'mother' to Virtual Bear.

Make Your Worms Fight Well In Worms 07

Get fired up in a grizzly battle as you play Worms 07.
If you ever liked the worm game, then you will simply love Worms 07. It's so much more fun than the old worms games which now, in retrospect, look to be so basic. Worms were indeed one of the first games to hit the screens and it was somewhat of a boring game. But I guess worms have come on in leaps and bounds since those times because with Worms 07 it's almost nothing like the original version of the game. In fact you wouldn't even know the two ever had anything in common. The aim of Worms 07 is pretty much a battle one. Worms 07 is a bit like battle of the fittest. You're like the head worm (leading a bunch of other worms). What you have to do is attack the other worms (your opponents) so that they get smashed to worm smithereens and basically destroyed. And you get all sorts of things along the way which are supposed to help you. Take advantage of the weapons that come your way as they are what you need to attack your enemies, so just make sure you're using the right ones with which you can shoot your enemy. What's cool about Worms 07 is its 3D element, it's great graphics and terrific sounds. Plus, all the different time periods that you go through in Worms 07 are pretty cool too. You get to see a whole lot of things going on when playing Worms 07, that's for sure. I particularly enjoy the battleship. Also, even though generally I'm not so in to strategy games, I do feel like there's something extra appealing in Worms 07 that renders me to like the game nonetheless.

Make War Not Love In Battle for Orion's Belt

I had never really been a battling kinda gal, but somehow, I got attracted to the super cool graphics on this fun mobile game - Battle for Orion's Belt. There's a whole series to buy (Battle Arena) but so far I'm happy with just this one. It's a real nail biting game as players have to try and remove their enemies (in all sorts of wild and wonderful ways), defend themselves (which certainly isn't as easy as I originally thought it might be - perhaps this is the most challenging part of the game) and keep returning to base to repair stuff and get more provisions. You wouldn't actually believe that you're sitting in the quiet comfort of your own home (or in any other place you choose with the versatility of this cool mobile game) while immersed in such an intense battle! Because that's really how I feel when I play Battle for Orion's Belt. And, like I said, I've never really been such a warrior. But the graphics make you lose it for a moment and really feel like you are waging war! And, to be honest, I really like that feeling. It's completely exhilarating. And it's not only the graphics - the digital sounds do it for me too.

Great Features in Battle for Orion's Belt

I probably really enjoy Battle for Orion's Belt and get totally immersed in it, because of the cool features like the fighting machine with the weapons, crazy speed and cool armor. And it's me who has to customize the ship to create this machine. There are all sorts of different things one can do to personalize their ship - and you have to try and figure out which will give you the best advantage when you're in the midst of battle. There are missiles (that are great enemy trackers), an electro-magnetic pulse which can knock out all the ships that are coming closer to you. There are other options too so it's up to you to really use your analytical skills to determine which will be the most helpful in this battle.

There really are a ton of different options to choose in Battle for Orion's Belt; so I find that the more I play, the more understanding I develop of how helpful (or not so helpful) they are going to be.

Love Your Pet More With Mobile Pet Tamagotchi

Is This Pet For Real?Since my husband and I have always been just CRAZY about our little pet guinea pig Maxi, the idea of Mobile Pet Tamagotchireally appealed. When I was told that I could take my guinea pig wherever I go (what a huge fantasy that is), I jumped at the chance. How many times have we been thrown out of different places, or asked not to come in because we've been with our guinea pig - our pride and joy. So Mobile Pet Tamagotchi sounded like a real thrill. But I was somewhat skeptical; what, in practice, would the game actually mean? How would one play it? Get Playful With Mobile Pet TamagotchiWell, I soon found out. Mobile Pet Tamagotchi is all about being playful. It's true it's not actually my real, live Maxi that I get to take with me wherever I go, but with Mobile Pet Tamagotchi I do feel a sense of comfort and friendship. For sure it's not the same as having Gal with me, but it's a nice little distraction and given that I can pretty much take my mobile phone with me everywhere (how ridiculous is that; my guinea pig is WAY less invasive than half the loud rings I hear on mobile phones these days, but I digress), I have my little pet guinea pig which lives in my Nokia phone and will - just like Maxi - play with me whenever I want! Maxi is very much like that. He's ready to play 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And that is what you get with Mobile Pet Tamagotchi.Take Care of Mobile Pet TamagotchiBut just like with a real live guinea pig, Mobile Pet Tamagotchi makes you responsible. So I think that if anyone has kids who are driving them crazy to get them a guinea pig, let them play Mobile Pet Tamagotchi. See if they really will be responsible with this small test. You have to feed, walk and clean your guinea pig, as well as play with him or her, but REGULARLY (not just when you are in the mood for it). Because what happens if you don't? If you ignore your pet guinea pig for too long, it might actually die! Indeed, guinea pigs can die of a broken heart (being ignored), especially if they are accustomed to regular tender loving care (like Maxi is). Remember, guinea pigs can be unpredictable - and that is also what you will learn from Mobile Pet Tamagotchi? so keep a close eye on him! Mobile Pet Tamagotchi is definitely a fun way of getting a glimpse in to what it could be like to own a guinea pig.

Get Thrilled by Bounce Out!

The only type of computer and mobile games I really get a kick out of are the puzzle and strategy ones that make you keep coming back and always wanting more. I guess my favorite of these on line (I have now downloaded it to my mac I like it so much) is Bubbleshooter. So when I was looking for fun mobile games to download to my cell phone I was excited to see its twin in the name of Bounce Out! Bounce Out is everything I get from Bubbleshooter with a whole lot more! And now I never have to stop my game because of its great mobility on my mobile phone! What more could anyone ask for?

You really do come back for more and then more and more with Bounce Out. What it is, is a whole lot of different colored balls on the screen. You get one of these colored balls to Bounce Out on all those balls and the goal is to aim that color at a group of at least 2 other balls of the same color to knock them out and ultimately clear the screen. Beware though; when there are hard to reach colored balls on the screen it is almost impossible to make the shot and then more balls appear (as opposed to you clearing the balls!). It is a fast and furious game; just how I like it and you will be more alert than ever as you try to beat the game!

I guess my best feature (that you do not get with Bubbleshooter) is the fuse. Because the fuse is lit on the ball and your aim is to knock out the colored balls, you have to go really fast so that you do not light it (and hence lose). That just adds excitement to the game and I now play it whenever I am waiting around and then I do not want to stop! Fun, fun, fun all the way!
