Jay Z and indeed NBA 2k13 fan’s may be intreasted to know, that M.r Z’s name has been attached to NBA 2K13- as executive  producer. However it reamains unclear exactly what Jay-Z will contribute to the game. The  previous entery into the basketball series was generally well recived, so it will be intreating to see some further enhancements that could make the game even better.
Here’s a trailer for the game:


 

 

 

Where To Find The Game:

www.swagbucks.com

 

Time for a random game recommendation. This time it’s a free online game found on Swagbucks who have many free online games you can play, in various categories such as puzzle, action and arcade. You can play the game one of two ways; either play using some Swagbucks to pay for an entery into a tournament (then have the chance to win some Swagbucks back, or a large jackpot) or you can play the game on your own and compete for a top score on the leaderboard, costing no Swagbucks.

This fun little addictive game has you playing as a little guy, who must throw ice cubes at clouds in order to keep the clouds snowing. See what global warming has done. The guy apparently wants to keep it snowing so that school stays cancelled. To help him reach this goal you need to use your keyboards arrow keys to send him along the screen, trying to aim at the clouds so you can get an ice cube to land on one, to launch one you click the mouse, the longer the press the higher the ice cube is thrown. So it’s about timing to get the cube to land on the cloud. Every time you successfully manage this a meter fills with snow, that when empty, the game ends. So you need to be quick to keep the game going, and as you do your heigh score increases. A nice little game that might help to cool you down if your currently feeling the heat like here in the UK (well some parts anyway), or if your feeling the cold, you have an understanding with the little guy.

Here’s a game I really like the look of: Codemaster’s F1 Race Stars, which sees the real life F1 drivers in tracks you won’t of seen them take on before. image

F1 Race Stars, which will be released this November for the X-Box 360, Playstation 3 and PC,  takes authentic F1 courses, but gives them a complete overhaul to add ramps, loop-the-loops and speed boosts, and an over all more  ‘rollercoaster designed’ track experience then you would usually associate with F1. While your racing through the tracks with the F1 driver of your choice (all available characters are based on the real deal, which includes Lewis Hamilton and Jennson Button and Fernando Alonso who have been given an excellent cartoony caricature style ), you’ll be able to use a range of weapons, Mario Kart style. The games courses will also contain their own obstacles such as one course, which has a speeding train to watch out for as you race around in your F1 car. The cars by the way look great, all based on the real thing but ‘cartoonised’     From the early screens and footage I’ve seen, the tracks have a great looking, fun design, where the graphics are cartoony but also brilliantly smooth.

As well as the games solo play options,  their will also be both offline and online multiplayer modes for up to 12 players. This games looking great fun, and more on it as more information becomes available.

Hi people. Over in Blogged On Stuff I took a quick look at a card from the classic Wizards Of The Coasts Pokemon set, Golem. Here I thought I'd look at the card from a gameplay perspective. Now I'd like to get this card myself, not only because I'm a big Golem fan (his a quality Pokemon, was always one of my favioute from the original monsters) but also because it has some great abbilities. If you have some Geodudes and Graverlers in stock you can get evolving to this rock beast. Right the stats.
Let's start with the critters HP: 100.
So a solid round number on a stage 2 monster. Golem has a Pokebody, and this is one of the reasons I really like the card, which reads: 'Whenever you attach a leaf, fire or fighting basic energy card from your hand to Golem, Golem's type (color) becomes the same as that energy untill the end of the turn'. So with this Pokebody you can help engineer Golem to have advantages with weakness' and resistance's against your opponeont's Pokemon. Whilst you adding these energies, it will also be helping to power up both Golem's attacks which need these energy types anyway. These attacks are Rock Throw and Earth Bomb (sounds epic). Rock Throw does 30 damage for 2 fighting and 1 colourless. Solid as an attack to cover your other Pokemon, if you can get it up and running quick with the rignt energies. Next attack is Earth Bomb which has a base damage of 50. Using this attack Golem does 20 damage to itself, you also do 10 to benched Pokemon (both yours and your opponeonts don't apply weakness' and resistance). I like the cards combo of attacks and Pokebody and I think Golem here, would make a great edition to decks.
Feel free to let me know what you think of this (or any other) and I'll be back with more soon.

If your perhaps building a deck around cards from classic sets like Skyridge, some of the cards are still very common to find, overs might take a little more searching (and money). This Golem can be quiye rare, but their are trading card websites that often have it in stock, eBay had just a handfull on a recent check. Or theirs the chance you could grab yourself one from a Skyridge booster (avaliable on many trading card shop websites and eBay).



It Wasn't Me

Ben 10 is a great cartoon and I would say one of Cartoon Networks best (in it's current phase, I'll always be a fan of the Jhonny Bravo era). If you don't know the show Ben 10, to summerise in ultra micro form; a boy called Ben (not me) gains the ability to change into 10 aliens, each with their own powers. So how does the game transform into a CCG? Well let's see. The game is by Bandai and was launched in 2008. To play you need 40 cards to create a full deck. Their are booster packs to build decks up, plus the starter packs to give you a 40 card deck and teach you how to play the game. You can play as various human characters from the cartoon, intreastingly the good guys as well as the bad, so if you like you can construct decjs based around these two sets of characters.My opinion of trading card games that run with this kind of format is that it's an ideal game to start with for those new to trading card games, with it's basic rule set that allows for fun battles with your opponeont. Also if your after some quick to set up and fast play rounds, this will fit thr bill. Below is a video showing a unboxing for one of the starter packs that you can purchase and a look at the game.


Some of you may remember the first Pac-Man cartoon. You might of caught it's more recent repeats on Cartoon Network. Well a new Pac-Man cartoon is on it's way, which will be called Pac-Man-The Adventure Begins ( I wonder if it show how Pac-Man was born, that I'll like to see). The new cartoon will air in 2013 and the show will be shown exclusivly on Disney XD.
Something else about the show is that it will be in steroscopic  3D, which will be great to see the Pac-Man characters in (I've always had a fondness for Blinky). It's been a while since we had a brand new Pac-Man cartoon so it's great to have one made. Now if we could just have a new Mario one, a new Sonic one, a Tekken one, a Tomb Raider one, a Spyro one, a Jak and Daxter one, a God Of War one......


Mewtwo Returns with the latest Pokemon TCG Set:
Pokemon EX Next Destinies

Yes this is the latest set in the brilliant Pokemon trading card game. From what the previews have shown, this set has a great range of Pokemon that include not only black and white monsters but also the return of the original set of Pokemon. This includes the mentioned legendary Mewtwo. Make that an EX Mewtwo. Yes this is an EX set, it's great to see EX return and it's great to have the return of Mewtwo mixing it up with the current newest set of Pokemon. In fact, Nintendo are going Mewtwo themed, you may have seen the adverts, if you own Pokemon Black or White you can download a Mewtwo for your game (with some great attacks learend). Click here for a page for more info on that and more on Mewtwo himself and other features. I like the Mewtwo themed going ons as Mewtwo has always been one of my favourite Pokemon (alough I like everyone of the critters, unlike many who seem to have a dislike for a certain M.R Mime.....Oh yeah and always wondered: is their a Mrs Mime?)
In an upcoming post I'll be going more detailed with the set, including a look at the new trainers you can add to your deck.
Oh yeah and if you could have the return of any Pokemon make it in to the newest sets, of the older Pokomon who would you pick? Or perhaps there's another type of card from the original set you would like to see return?  You can add it as a comment below.

Have you noticed, that over the last say, five years in particular, their have been more and more games in the virtual universe for free. Here I'm talking about both through gaming consoles and other platforms such as mobile phones and PC. It's a great plus for gamers, that their are many free games that can be enjoyed along with the many that will need  pay. Take a look at mobile phones for instance, apart from the fact that many phones will come with free games, their will often be an option to download more for free, for example from your phone network or manafactuers website, or a third party site. Also theirs the dedicated resources for buying mobile content, such as the Marketplace for Android phones or the itunes store for the iphone user; among the games you can spend to purchase, you'll find some great freebies (theirs free versions of the brilliant Angry Birds for starters)
 But it's not just phones that can be a platform for gaming freebies. No, how about with the games consoles. Maybe their aren't quite so many free games here as available for phones, but with the current crop of consoles their have been more games to download, some demo's, but over all more game related freebies then ever in say previous generations. Then theirs PC's, laptops, tablets, how ever you like to play games on with the online format. On line, offers many free games. It has been for a long time the place to play many free games, for example the free flash games available on dedicated online games websites, then theirs all the free social networking site's free games offering like Farmville  (usually have an option to give you a chance to spend some money on the games for upgrades, ect). Also theirs the many great games that can be downloaded  for free. Also, we have the free online MMOG that have been on the rise. Theirs some great pay to play MMOG, but theirs great free ones too. You may have noticed when your surfing around the net the many adverts for a free MMOG , their really are loads avaliable for no cost at all. Sure, some may charge you if you get to say, a certain level, but still theirs loads of free gaming material here, with quality games that at one time just would not of been free. World of Warcraft is one that has now increased it's free to play options as an example.That's what I'll be posting for you, the many free games available, where to find them and reviews too. They can be anything from a more simple structured online game, to a massive MMORPG, I'll get them covered for you. So as well as recommending you video games to get buying, I'll be showing how you can have a great gaming experience as well.
If you have a gaming freebie that you would like to recommend (on any format) then you can add it as a comment.
Oh yeah and their is another way for game freebies- as in physical games. Take a look at places like freecycle  where all items are donated free, also Gumtree have a freebies section as do Loot -some times you can find some free games on offer here, maybe even some free consoles too. So you don't always have to spend to play.

Time for a random online game review, this time it's over on the points earning website Swagbucks. A great website for earning points for completing various tasks, one of these tasks is playing games. Points for games is a good deal and the game on Swagbucks I'll highlight this post (out of Swagbucks' nice rooster of online games) is called Alpha Mission
Picked partly for it's nice 'console wars' history reference which is a fun online game to play; players control a Atari 800  and must eliminate all computer rivals as you try and make the Atari 800 the dominant computer systems of the 80's. It's a Space Invaders style game where as you play as an Atari 800 you use the arrow keys to move side to side to avoid rival 80's computer fire and fire at said rivals with your spacebar.
Check out Alpha Mission here: http://www.swagbucks.com/p/games
And, if you don't already have an account with Swagbucks you may want to sign up for one so you can earn points whilst playing their games, which you can redeem for on a variety of prizes (including video games, but check which countries can win which items, some are for America only).

The PS Vita is on it's way here in the UK during February, 22nd February to be exact. But Japan already have the console. Some may have imported the PS Vita where it has not yet been released and some of you may be waiting for it's release where you are-well not too long now. If you have got your hands on one and would like to let us here on Blogged On Games know what you think, please add as a comment.
The PS Vita does look like a very intresting handheld console. It has some great features; as well as the front and back touch screen capabilities, the argumented reality feature, the two cameras and it's sleek style, but to heighlight one of what  I think is s stand out feature for me is the fact that PS Vita players can play online PS3 users. A great feature this, it will be intreasting to see what games support this. OK, well their will be more PS Vita previews and news on it's way so see you then.
