Previews
Family Friendly Gaming was provided a Beta
version of Kroco Gems. We talked about it internally and decided to do a
preview. Since we are unclear what changes will be done before the
official launch date. Kroco Gems is a mix between Tetris and well
nothing else I can think of. The blocks are on the screen, and can be
manipulated around. They are all on the screen so no waiting for things
to drop. The player moves them around as they see fit. This is done to
complete lines that eventually go away. Kroco Gems has impressed me thus
far. This iPad game has forty levels in the story mode. There are a few
features that will interest gamers.
The most distinguishing thing about Kroco Gems is the little dragon
character. He is cute but also can be dangerous. The music fits the
theme, and also enhances Kroco Gems in some nice ways. I am eager to see
what the final product will look like. The polish in Kroco Gems thus far
is impressive. In fact I have played iPad games with less polish. I am
expecting this puzzle game to be top notch. You will want to check out
the video of Kroco Gems we have in the videos section. Until then,
please be patient for this game to be released.

PES 2011 3D does not contain as much content as its home console counter parts. It does however contain multiple areas that impress me. The character models and graphics look way better than I was expecting. This is not a Nintendo DS title that was given some 3D upgrades. PES 2011 3D looks fantastic. The players look very realistic. PES 2011 3D may be the best soccer game on the Nintendo 3DS. Expect my review to come out in Family Friendly Gaming #55. Until then, go ahead and check out PES 2011 3D. {01/07/2012} - Paul
I may have found a brand new favorite
Harvest Moon game on the Nintendo DS. What is that game? Harvest Moon
Grand Bazaar. Yes I know this game is over a year old, but we missed it
during the busy time of reviewing hundreds of other games. Sometimes
games slip, but once we realize it, we save up our own money to purchase
it. That is exactly what I did with Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar. I saved
up, and bought it. I have been playing it for a few days in between all
my other chores. Thus far I am very impressed with Harvest Moon Grand
Bazaar.
I have not run into the harvest goddess, which is something I have asked
for - for years. I really hope Natsume left her out of Harvest Moon
Grand Bazaar. The goal of Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar is to help build up
the town and its weekly bazaar sale. So building a town back up may not
be a new concept, but there is so much of Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar that
feels fresh. The slow pace of this game encourages exploration, as well
as building friendships. Lord willing I will be able to write a review
in the next couple of months. So expect to see a review for Harvest Moon
Grand Bazaar in an upcoming issue of Family Friendly Gaming.
