The next poll is...

Hey everyone!

While I'm in the middle of writing my new blog for a retro game I've been playing, I was thinking of ideas for another poll. As you already know the next poll is 'What is your favorite console?' which will be posted in the next day or so , but I wanted to ask if any of you guys had any suggestions of what the following polls could be?

If you have any ideas, either leave a comment on this blog or send me a message!

Babes in Blogland

Hey guys,

I've recently joined a blog ring which I stumbled on last night. For those who are unsure as to what it is, it's basically a sight where you can find the latest blogs. You can either find a blog depending on the category, or if you feeling brave you could make your own blog ring, giving blogger like myself the chance to promote and share their blogs. I'm apart of two rings, one is called Babes in Blogland, which is a community of blogs created by women and the second is The Video Game Girl Community!

There are oodles of blogs on the site and I'm sure you can find something to entertain yourself with. To find out more make sure to click the link for Babes in Blogland which can be found on the side of my blog or go to the website: http://www.ringsurf.com/

Happy bloggin'!

Diner Dash

The story follows a woman called Flo who wants to pursue her dream of opening a restaurant. This puzzle game consists of five levels and the goal is to make a certain amount of money at the end of each shift. During each shift, different types of customers ranging from business women, the ‘joggers’, a family of four To make the game harder, each type of customer is different colours. As the game progress, more colours are introduced making the game harder and more challenging. To get more bonus points, it helps to try and get the same colours sitting at the same tables.

When a shift has been completed successfully, you have the chance to revamp the furniture within the restaurant in order to attract more customers. Also added items including a desert cart, a drinks machine and a welcome desk, are given at different points of the levels, allowing you to give your diners a complete service.

I originally played this on the P.C many years ago and was only recently reminded of how good the game was when I played a similar version of this game on my niece’s laptop. After days of searching, I managed to track a pre-owned copy of the game and I haven’t put it down since!

My only grievance with this game is that I have found that when tapping the screen to move Flo to different tables and when arranging customers so I can try and match them up to the same colours, it seems to not recognise where I’ve tapped and make Flo to the next part of the screen or mess up my colour combo. This can be very frustrating and happens more then I care to remember but it doesn’t take away any of the fun from the game and how great it really is. I feel that this game is perfect for the DS, and for that it gets a U.F.G score of 4 out of 5!

My Lovely Pink control pad

Just a very random post I know but I managed to get my hands on a pink Xbox 360 control pad. At first I didn't really think to get one since I didn't see the appeal immediately but then once the left bumper button on my original pad went wonky, it was only right to get a new pad which just looked the part.

I went to many shops and to my dismay I was told that they were sold out for both the pink and blue pads were available for a limited time only. I was so gutted! But after much searching and asking I finally found both the pad and the pink rechargeable battery.

So now I'm able to kick ass and have a gorgeous looking pad!
