iRedstone App Review

iRedstone is a Minecraft Redstone guide which is available on IPone, IPad and IPod Touch. It has many different Redstone technics and some basic mechanisms. There are also loads of different sections such as: Defence, Farming, Basics, Calculators and House Features. The sections were added so that it is easier to navigate. Also on the subject of navigation they have added a search bar, all you have to do is search Redstone machine that you want the guide to. Now onto the problems with this app. Although the searching is great there are some problems, for a start although the app has a lot of dfferent machines and you can send your own there are still a few simple machines missing. I myself use this app a lot and when I forget how to make something my first thought is to use the app, but sometimes the instructions just aren't there. I do understand that making apps and updating them is hard and the creator of iRedstone is working hard but there really does need to be more machines on there. Overall Review iRedstone needs a little work with the ideas (please send your in), it is a very good app no matter how good at Redstone you are, and I would recommend it to anyone who plays Minecraft. Rating: 3 and 1/2 Stars (actual stars coming soon)

Poptropica Review

Poptropica is an online virtual world where the player creates a character which can be edited at almost anytime, as long as there are NPC's somewhere on the island you are on. Islands are quests which the player must try to complete to earn medallions. Each island is released every few months and, in the case of the Poptropolis Games, they disappear every so often, so you have to be quick if you want your medallion! There are a few things that parents need to be aware of and if you are a child wanting to become a player on Poptropica then you should tell your parents this information. Although Poptropica does have some multiplayer aspects you can only communicate with the pre-set chat topics, such as; "Can you draw?"or "Can you burp your ABC's?"
Because of this limit of speech it is a good game for beginners and is safe for everyone to use. Control wise, the controls are pretty basic, the only challenging controls are different parts of islands like games, as these are supposed to be a challenge to the player. The beginner islands are fairly simple, these are time travel, shark tooth, 24 carrot and early Poptropica. Overall Review; Poptropica is safe for all ages, it has simple controls and limited speech and it is a good starting game.

Angry Birds Space App Review

Angry Birds Space is one of the many Rovio Entertainment Angry Birds apps that have been released so far. If you don't already know what Angry Birds it will be in a post soon. There are a few bad things about Angry Birds that, although improve sales, are kind of annoying. The first of these is the fact that the games are highly addictive and someone could easily spend over three hours playing it. The game itself is extremely fun (which is implied if it's addictive) and, although it could use some minor tweaks it is an extremely good game as it is still being updated and improved in tons of different ways, new level here, bug fix there. Although there are many levels and they do get harder as you go on, it's fairly easy to, once you get the hang of it, complete these levels after a few tries. The game is fairly easy and probably one of the easier games to lean fast. The controls are simple, click, drag, release and sometimes tap. Now onto the Space version itself. It has a fairly simple back-story in-game with fairly detailed pictures. The base of the story is that the Space birds must try and help their new friend, the ice bird, to take back something that the pigs stole, an egg I believe. So you may complete different levels and defeat pigs until you complete that set of levels,and in the end the game. There are a few different bird you use in Angry Birds Space, the Ice bird, red bird, the blue bird/s, the "Hulk" bird (large red), the yellow fast bird, which is skinned as a purple birds with the heat vision glasses from X-Men and then there's just the round bomb bird. Overall Review: Angry Birds Space is a very good game, it is slightly addictive and I would recommend it for about Seven to Twenty-one

Minecraft (Short) Server Review: Morph-Craft

Morph Craft is a great Minecraft server with an amazing community. It is a New Zealand server and I am glad of it. The owners are really nice and friendly and at least one of them is online as long as the server isn't close for the night. I, after two days have become the Head Builder on Morph Craft and it is really great to work with these guys. I am currently working on the Staff statues, which are only Staff at the moment as the server isn't very well advertised although they do have a YouTube channel although at the moment I do not know the name of it, but don't worry it will be up soon.
Server IP: morphcrafft.no-ip.biz
I hope to see you doodz and doodetz on here at some point. If you do come on here just say Hollow_MT sent you, they should know who I am as the Dub-Step-Owner is on basically 12-7.
Thx for reading doodz, and I will see you next time!
