ElectricMan 2

I recently posted a game on Top Spec the other day called defend your castle which was a game I played tons at school, This game I'm showing you today was a game I played a ton when I was at collage and wow did I love this game in collage. This was another one of those flash games on the Internet that everyone was playing at the time, I'm not sure what reminded me of this game but yesterday it came to my mind so I gave it another play through. Its Electric man 2!!!

So whats this game all about? Well when you start you create your fighting stick man, give him a name and an electric colour glow and your ready to start fighting in the Tournament Of Voltagen!!! You begin in round 1 with 4 matches all with different opponents each with different health and skills. The aim is basically to destroy all of your opponents and progress to the next round. do to this you have 3 moves Punching, kicking, and grabs each of these moves have different uses for example if your running when pressing the kick button you do a running kick. On top of these 3 moves you have 3 slow motion moves which are the same as the previous 3 but are much stronger and cooler.

As the rounds progress you will have to battle your way through more enemies with more health and that's when this game gets real challenging, you will have to be quick, agile and string together each of the moves into a devastating combo. There's 4 rounds each with 4 stages once you battle your way through that you still have a 2 match semi final and then the championship final. Are you up for the challenge? Well the games bellow if you think you have what it takes, Enjoy.

PlayStation 4

Yes you heard the title correct its the PlayStation 4. With nothing much to do I decided I would do some random searches of the Internet, one thing I randomly typed in was PS4 just to see what came up I found the usual fan work and fake posts but one site I found looks pretty legit.

The site is http://www.ps4playstation4.com/ps4-release-date-countdown-begins 

It has tons of information and answers as well as the picture found at the beginning of this post I'm doubt full that it will look anything like this but its cool to have the ideas down.

One other cool thing they have is a countdown timer to the release date which I'm going to put in this post :)

So with 1 year and 9 months till the release date what do I think this machine will have well the first thing I expect they will improve on is speed, start up speed and loading speed should be improved especially as games will only get bigger and better. More memory will be a must for this console the new slimline now has 160GB all the way to 320GB so the PS4 should have more than that. I'm also guessing that CDs will be a thing of the past with this console, we have already seen the PSP GO without its slot for UMD's and only uses downloaded games this is what I'm guessing the PS4 will be like. Finally I'm hoping for some new features virtual reality is something Ive always wanted and maybe even some kind of built in motion controller of some sort.

That's some of my ideas I'm sure there's lots of things that this thing could have so if any of you out there have any ideas feel free to leave a comment.

Tetris

Tetris, the game that for me started the handheld market, when I got my first Game Boy this was one of the only games I had but did I care nope because this game is awesome it never gets old or boring I remember many days as a kid playing this game and kept me from going crazy in those long drives in the car. The idea is simple the game play is easy to pick up and is a perfect way for anyone getting into gaming.

The version that I used was for the original game boy oh yer green screen for the win :) but all jokes a side this game and handheld console rocked and to this day I still pick this up the odd time and give it a blast. The game itself is about building lines of blocks you randomly get given different shapes of blocks which you must rotate and place together as close as possible trying to avoid creating holes when you create a full line horizontally it disappears giving you points and more room to build clearing multiple lines together gives more points. As you clear lines your level increases which speeds up how fast the block falls giving you less time to place a block giving more room for error, the game finishes when the screen fills with blocks so keeping everything as low as possible is the key.

This game is now readily available on almost everything there's hundreds of versions on the Internet and tons of versions on other consoles but the original for me is the Game Boy. Ill put the game bellow for you guys to play, I cant imagine there is many out there that haven't seen this game or played it but if your new to Tetris its defiantly worth a try.

Defend Your Castle

One thing I haven't yet had on Top Spec is a flash game I wouldn't compare them to a console game but still there a game and some are stupidly addicting. This one game was something I played A LOT at school me and my friends were always on this in lessons, at lunch and when we got home its Defend Your Castle.

This game is very simple and you only have to do one thing defend your castle, now you don't do that like you think you don't have to fire at enemies what you do instead is grab them and hurl them up in the air and let gravity do its thing. A simple concept at first when you only have to lob a few men but once you get the the higher levels and you have tons of them running at you the pressure kicks in and trust me a few miss clicks and you will be over run in no time. as you progress through the first few levels you begin building up your money which is gained from the men you kill, you use this money to repair your castle, upgrade your castle and equip it, One thing you can buy is temple which converts you enemies to your side now you can use these men for a few jobs you can use them for archers which help you out buy killing the odd enemy helping to reduce the amount on the screen, you can also use these new members as workers which repair your castle over time the final job that these men can be given is mages which enable some awesome weapons that become a necessity later on in the game. 

This is a really good game to play if you just want a pick up and play game its free and available every were ill put a link so you can give it a go. Be care full tho its very addictive have fun :)
