It's nearing the end of week 2, and you all have been hard at work learning about and using your new iPad, promoting our services to faculty, and much more, I'm sure. So, I thought I'd write something fun today; let's talk about GAMES on iPad, shall we?
I'm not the world's biggest gamer, but there are a few fun ones that I play often when I'm at lunch or unwinding in the evening. Here are some of my faves:
Scramble with Friends: I'm really not the best at this game, and my husband takes great pride in beating me daily. But, it's still fun! Scramble is like the game Boggle - remember Boggle? You are given a jumble of letters and one minute to try and make as many words as you can before the time runs out. It's great fun.
SongPop: Are you a music lover? This game is a lot of fun and brings back old memories. You are given a music clip and you have to select the correct artist or title for each song quickly - more quickly than your opponent. Each round comprises five music clips, and the winner for each round gets three gold coins. You can use your saved gold coins to purchase new genre lists to challenge others with - genres include things like 80's hairbands, British Invasion, and One-Hit Wonders, as well as the traditional 70's, 80's, Country, Progressive, and so on. Again, loads of fun, especially if you love music.
Glow Hockey: It's Air Hockey for iPad! My kids love this one too. Play on your own, or challenge your friends.
Bejeweled Blitz: Match and detonate three or more jewels in a row to accumulate points. You will never be satisfied with your current score.
This is one of those addictive, mindless games that you can't seem to ever stop playing (like Angry Birds, Cut the Rope, or Fruit Ninja).
What are your favorite games? I'd love to hear about them.
Oh, and by the way... if you are willing to invest five bucks, one of the most entertaining apps I've yet to come across is an interactive children's story called The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore. This is a wonderful story that my kids and I absolutely adore. Here is the trailer for the app. It's money well spent! Have fun :)
