Pwong 2 is a flash game on the Internet that I played on Kongregate.com using the Internet Explorer Browser on PC. This game was created by Jonas Richner and the release date is not disclosed. The paddle is moved around by simply dragging the mouse across the screen (left and right only).

This game is an interesting twist off of the famous game "Pong". The level is a rectangle where your paddle moves left and right across the bottom while the computer's paddle, which you are playing against, does the same at the top. The ball can bounce off the side walls but when it leaves the screen out the top or bottom the opposing player's score goes up. Instead of one ball being bounced back and forth, there are hundreds of balls that are entered onto the screen sometimes as many as 40 or 50 at a time. The objective is to make the opposing player miss as many balls as possible while not allowing any balls to exit down through the bottom of the screen.

Game play
The game controls are very simple. The only movement is of your mouse back and forth which causes the paddle to do the same at the bottom of the screen. If your mouse clicks off the game screen the game will pause until you click back on the screen. There is a very bright alternating background which makes it easy to distinguish the balls. The balls also have "tails" that help you determine the direction and speed of each of the balls. There are also big faded balls that slowly fall to the bottom which are power-ups such as "ammo" which allows you to shoot paddles out by clicking the mouse to intercept balls and hit them back before they reach your paddle or "larger paddle" which makes your paddle larger.

Sound and Graphics
The background music is a very catchy techno song and it is different depending on your difficulty, normal, extreme, or insane. The graphics are actually quite good for an online 2D flash game. The game has tons of vibrant alternating colors and very clear crisp reactions to movements.

Pretty much Pwong 2 is a great game for both Pong fanatics and regular game enthusiasts alike. It is an above average game receiving 4.03 stars out of 5 on Kongregate.com. I would recommend this game to anyone. It is definitely made to be played many times, with upgrades and achievements that can be received.

But it is definitely a fun game that is worth playing.

Death vs. Monstars is Pure Awesomeness

Death vs. Monstars is a flash game on the Internet that I played on Kongregate.com using the Internet Explorer Browser on PC. This game was published by GameReclaim and the release date is not disclosed. The character is moved around by simply dragging the mouse across the screen.

The objective of the game is to beat a series of levels by reaching a certain amount of defeated enemies per level or for surviving a set time limit. Enemies are "killed" by hitting them with "bullets" that auto-fire out of your character (a skull). Enemies leave behind coins and points which are collected by your character in order to be spent on upgrades in the screen between levels (bigger guns, health upgrades, etc.). Your character has a health bar, when that is depleted your character "dies."

Game play
The game play is very easy to pick up and before each level is a reminder of the controls of the game. The enemies are very brightly colored and their "bullets" are a different color from your character's so it is easy to avoid confusing obstacles. The coins are also a bright gold color and fade away to let you know that they are about to disappear. The game menu is very easy to navigate using big clear icons and humorous descriptions of each level.

Sound and Graphics
The background music during game play is the same techno song that plays repetitively but it is catchy and constantly changes beats in order to avoid being annoying. The music also corresponds to when new waves of enemies appear at the beginning of levels which is very clever and appealing. The graphics are standard 2D cartoony flash game graphics, using icons and projectiles that travel smoothly at different rates across a flat x-y plane. It's nothing spectacular, but hey, what can you expect out of a free online game?

Overall Death vs. Monstars is a great fun way to waste 20 to 30 minutes. It is above average compared to other shooting games, receiving an average of 4.29 stars out of 5 at Kongregate.com. I recommend it to anyone who likes to play online games that require minimal skill but still offer a bit of a challenge. If you really get into the game there is a "Points Mode" which allows you to play over and over again and submit scores that you can compare to everyone else in the world playing this game. But just like any other online game, its really only meant to be played and beaten once, maybe twice.

But I definitely recommend Death vs. Monstars and give it a big thumbs up.

A Good Game Review

A good game review tells about all the basic facts of the game, such as the title, developer, and the platform it uses, while also analyzing the specifics of the game.

It must analyze:

• the genre of the game
• the storyline and objective(s)
• how the game is played (controls and game type)
• the graphics and sound (good or bad, over or under responsive)

It must also conclude by giving an opinion telling about the good and the bad and whether it is worth playing/buying.

It is also extremely important that the review is written like the reader has never heard of the game before.
