StrongbadZone

Like the Secret Collect I really found this game to be fun. The idea of this game can be found in a pong-like 3-D rendition on another flash site, though I don't know the link off the top of my head. It is always interesting to know that these were the games that were popular during that era of video games. Its hard to believe that today we are playing games that are so realistic that sometimes you forget we forget we are even playing a game. It truly is amazing where technology has brought us and will likely continue to take us, especially in the world of video games.

I really liked this game. This is one of those games that seem so simple, but you just can't get the hang of it or just can't seem to beat it. I think games with fewer rules are harder, because when there is so many rules it somewhat sets a guidelines on how to beat a game. Games like these are what bring challenges to the gaming community. I can use a controller that is basically the extension of my hand but I can not press three buttons and get it right. Simplicity can kill a beast.

This game was very interesting and somewhat difficult at the same time. The graphics were very basic with the enemies head in the front and the flying obeject coming towards you at the same time. As I continued to play, the flying object kept hitting me even when I would move the shield. I found that part difficult, but the game was good overall. I agree with Ashley because I was hitting the object good for a couple times until I almost got the head gone and then the flying object would get me.

Strongbadzone, too, is glorious in it's simplicity. While the game is terribly reminiscent of the awful 3D vector games of the Nintendo Virtual Boy - the idiocy of having some spikey-haired shield guy is great, and the simple pattern of block-moving is incredibly fun - not only do we challenge ourselves to play pong with the geometry lesson flying at us, we are also trying to achieve the total destruction of Strong Bad's vector head.
