When Penguins attack a tower defense game

Penguin Defense Forces
One of the most interesting genres of online games is certainly the tower defense genre, a type of game where you have money in terms of capital net worth and you can use that to buy towers arms and ammunition for the war. Although seeming heuristic in nature a tower defense game actually delves in to the pits of strategy as you fight off a common cause with the limited resources you have and execute tactics to increase your resources.
Battle Field
When penguins attack is a straight forward tower defense game except in this case you're fighting on the bare beach against the onslaught of penguins from the left. You start off with about 25 lives and each time one of the penguins get across you lose a life. Once you lose all your life balance the game is over. The game is in fact a pitch of wits to get the penguins not to be able to reach the other side of the beach and unlike other tower defense games where you have pre-determined paths, here it is a straight line the penguins will make for the end until and unless you tactically build barricades in terms of towers that will take them swinging from one end to the other giving you time enough to perform your onslaught successfully.
The most basic type of tower in this game is the machine gun tower available for about ten bucks on y9, go ahead chose one and place them right in front of the penguin and see what happens. Two things actually one is it fires at the penguins killing them instantaneoult but then it has a recoil time and in that time some of the penguins make it through to the end. The beginning of the game starts you off with about fifty buck thus you can only buy upto five machine gun towers, good enough to start off with though. The towers can always be upgraded to increase their radii of operation and take out any penguins in the area.
The next tower type is the bio tower that fires blobs of bio chemical sludge at the oncoming penguins and slows them out tremendously . These are the ideal towers to be placed before regular machine gun as it slows down the penguins and gets them in the machine gun stage. These bio chemicals are practically useless during air raids so the best way to go about deploying them is click one of the first machine gun towers and sell them at a depreciated price then purchase a bio chemical tower in its place so that the slowed penguins will have to cross the machine gun towers making the machine gun towers more effective in their fire power and degree of effectiveness.
Another effective tower type is the Electro tower that shocks the penguins with a jolt of up to forty thousand volts written as 40KvA. These will take out the arriving penguins but are practically useless against the onslaught of the air force. The end of level results are usually furnished under five sub headings including the level number, the waves withstood, percentage killed, cash remaining and lives remaining . These go into an intricate calculation of overall score.
The game is a scoring game and if you want your scores recorded on y9 then you will have to register with y9i.com else your score is tallied as yet another y9i.com dude. You will certainly appreciate the depth that this game reaches when you start to use the fury of the higher end towers that come at about eighty bucks is the flame tower that spews jets of flames that roast the enemy but are useless against the air attack. Well it seem the most effective weapons against air units is the flak tower available for about one hundred dollars of game money as it fires flacks against the air forces that arrive.
The game is a seven level game and each level has numerous waves organised at about three or fours at a time. You may want to quickly upgrade to the plasma tower as these are very high all round defense mechanisms that can fire surface to surface or surface to air plasma shots very essential if you want to make it through to level seven and conquer the game.

Mobs Down - a gang bank kick box game review

With mobs down you can actually feel the heat of action if you're a martial arts fan. The game whose controls give you access to all areas of the two dimensional space is well though out in terms of movements as you throw your kick with the 'X' key and throw your punch with a 'C' key. At the end of the day, that's all its about in real street fighting the will to win and the fact that you take a punch and move as well. The game on y9 captures movements well and try not to walk into your opponents kick or punch; bad in real fighting too. 
Just walk diagonally or in vertical axes and let them keep up with you. If you're cornered by three or more use two stealth kicks to shock your opponent before yo turn to take care of the other. If you throw two round house kicks and one straight punch it should do to take care of any mobster. Movement along any axis can be achieved with your arrow keys.
So where does it all start, the game has a story line to it and it goes that Tim Falcons son was meeting with his half brother about the inheritance of Tims ill-gotten fortunes post his demise. Tim was a mob boss and some crazy kookoo story that never made cinema. So if you want to know what you're really fighting for...I'd say its just not worth it.
But not the game though. The game is good! and you can customize your controls just in case you were more familiar with something else. The game is a scoring game and you'd probably find the garbage man to be the toughest cause as it turns out he's a bit insane being doing stuff for quite a while and he actually does not know where his opponent is he's fighting the butterflies and the bees so just choose a soft spot to stand and wait , my suggestion is the far right corner ....he will come.Get him!

Jet Ski Rush is quite a rush

The good old game of jet ski-ing gives you an inkling into the field of water sports as you will jet ski over waves and ramps to earn reward points. The objective of the game is to jump over the obstacles that either blow you to pieces or give you a negative grading.
The games controls are quite simple use your space bar to jump and top arrow key to accelerate. You would want to use your left and right arrow keys to perform flips and stunts as they bring balance into the game. Speaking of balance you might not want to lose it and flip into the water lest you become another skull in the deep.
The game sports an awesome nitro mode that is gained by skiing through the nitro sign that will get you accelerated through the loop and gain more points, be careful of your decent.
The game is awarded by points that you get for performing front flips , collecting stars and escaping the obstacles and swans. The game screen sports a timer that measures your progress and speed and you might want to reach the checkpoint fast in order to not get frustrated with repeat attempts. Once you cross a checkpoint an incident or accident will have you start off from there.
The game gives you a total of five chances to make mistakes termed as lives and the end of game score board will furnish the details of your skiing adventure fragmented into points for total power ups aka nitros that you have taken to earn the loops and adjoining rewards,points for red blue and golden stars collected, total front flips and total back flips that gets tallied into an overall total score.
Its quite difficult to get past level one of the game without using deceleration at the end when you find four obstacles lined up immediately after the ramp. If you get the first one right you get all the inter jumps right, you get it wrong and you will lose a life.

New Game Launch - Dinosaur Hunter

One of the cutest games that have been released lately by limingXu is one that kids aged 5 will enjoy called Dinosaur Hunter, a game about collecting Dinosaur eggs in your four by four and driving back to the factory warehouse to have them sold. En route you encounter the Dinosaur, and you need to shoot them lest they take away one egg each. The game is designed with amazing game physic controls making it necessary for you to use your driving skills and better judgement in trying to keep the eggs afloat atop the truck on a very rocky road.
The eight level feature locked game on y9, is based on a beautiful ancient island with an active volcano taking you back to the Triassic period. In the first part of the encounter, you meet up with Camarasaurus and they want their eggs back, you will need to shoot them down, because if they take their eggs you don't make the level. In the second level you encounter Pteranodon- the flying dinosaur....you will need to be careful with these types as they're the flying variety, and will hurl rocks at your four by four.Level 4 becomes really interesting as you will encounter Marginocephalia Triceratops...
Game Controls
The game is a #wasD game meaning you can use your arrow buttons, top arrow for acceleration bottom arrow for reverse gear, mouse click for firing and of course you aim your gun with your mouse. In terms of upgrades you have four power up upgrades in ammunition the cheapest costing 1000 game points and the most expensive costing 4000 game points. You will notice a difference in the #wasd settings in that the left and right arrow keys are redundant,meaning the game has only one dimension of movement.
Scoring
Scoring is basis achieving minimum number of seven eggs to warehouse in level one.You also get bonus points for making the distance in record time. A few cheats at this stage would be to watch out for Pteranodon cause he's dangerous and he's flying high above and will drop big rocks turning your four by four turtle.Also, if you drop an egg on your path to the warehouse , it could overturn your truck and reduce it to rubble. Another pointer is the loading conveyor belt, you may want to move your truck a bit forward and back during loading so as to spread the eggs evenly, so that they won't drop off. Scores are also awarded for the Dinosaurs you shoot down, you will find the higher range automatic weapons and missile launchers are more adept at taking out a dinosaur in one shot.
Level 5 - The Bazooka
Achieving the productivity scores set by the factory and gaining bonus reward points for doing so in record time is not gonna be simple if you do not quickly upgrade to the Bazooka. The bazooka scene will involve attacks from all three species of Dinosaurs and will require agility and response to get through...lol , it will be a scream balancing the eggs. One hint I'd like to share with you here is look out at the egg collection center, when the eggs are getting packed into your truck...what kinda eggs are they? are they appearing different...the kind of eggs getting loaded will give you an idea whether the attack is going to come from land or the skies. One more nice aspect liming has incorporated in this game3 is the fact of being careful and agile whilst crossing pebble creek a really delicate cross over path, because just as you get across you just might have to face tricertops...beware.
In conclusion I'd like to add that although I had no clue about Dinosaurs, I was once educated by a five year old kid while waiting to meet the doc...and he told me all about the various species of Dinosaurs and their eating habits...and where we could find them as well (guess he meant their remains)...got me thinking that this game is splendid for your kids in terms of being educative and inculcation a sense of fun and humor in education.
