Transformice

Photobucket

Transformice is a flash game that is becoming quickly popular. You play as your own mouse where your objective is to simply collect cheese and return to your mouse house. That seems simple enough? Well there are obstacles and you have to depend on other players to help build useful contraptions to cross, or fail miserably with things that “seem legit”. Each time you play you have what’s called temporary cheese, which determines when you are shaman, the head mouse whose goal is to help you. Although there can also be two shamans in a certain stage which can become competitive and turn into a shaman fight and other mousey shenanigans. There are also competitive stages where you have the ability to push your fellow mice around, which makes you have to work together or fight to the death. Of course in a mousey world there are trolls, which you can group together and ban someone if it comes down to that. There is also the treat of dressing up your mouse in clothing you can buy with cheese in the shop, which is why you are collection cheese in the first place. Although it’s not much more then collecting cheese, it’s very addictive.

Double Dragon NES

Photobucket

Double dragon was made in 1987 as an arcade game, later ported to the NES, the Sega systems as well as various other home consoles and handhelds. This classic beat ‘em up tests anyone’s skills at video games, as you can see in my game play video I’m not the best at it. Sadly as a kid I did much worse at the game, constantly needing help from my older brother. This is what adds more fun to the game to the game, the two player story mode, or versus mode where two players can fight head to head. It’s also one of few games of its time where two players will appear on screen together in story mode. The game was loads of fun to play back in the late 80’s-90’s and is still a mass enjoyed game loved by people of many age’s. This game has withstood the test of time earning its spot as a classic game.
