Game Review #2: There is Only One Level

There is Only One Level is about trying to get a blue elephant across to the yellow tube on the opposite side. There is only one level, but each task has a different trick. It is a very addictive game and requires a lot of strategy.

Game Review #1: Press Space to Win

I played this game called Press Space to Win.  Here is a link to play: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/495903. This game is about timing when to press the space bar. I think this game is a bit repetitive, but easy. My favorite game is Monopoly. I like that game because I can play with other people and I like strategizing. The difference between these two games are Monopoly could take hours while the Press Space to Win game takes five minutes. Also, Monopoly is a board game to play with others while Press Space to Win is a computer game for a single player.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more of my thoughts!
