Kingdom for Keflings is a game like no other! Kids and adults alike find themselves addicted to this game… why? because it is cute, fun and a great, relaxed time passer!

You are a giant that is building a kingdom! You can ( and should! ) use your personalized LIVE avatar! A great feature in this game is seeing your avatar brought to life as he/she tromps around this kingdom bullying (delegating?) the Keflings!

You are the boss… and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love that?

Image

When you boot up this game you find yourself in a field with all sorts of trees, rocks, and pink crystals… you find yourself looking around and wondering “what the hell”? Well, what did you expect? you have to BUILD your kingdom and to do that you must chop trees, make wood! Mine rocks to make bricks and mine crystals to make… well I won’t give you ALL the secrets ;) Your kingdom also will cycle through seasons which is pretty nifty – the snow scenes do lag some people temporarily but I never had any issues with lag.

Image

You are looking at a never ending supply of resources and you must use them to your advantage. When you have enough things mined to begin building things you will be on your way! So get chopping! (literally).

If you snoop around the fields every now and then you will find little goodies such as love (( you need LOVE to build a HOME where new keflings will spawn – you NEED keflings to spawn as they will be your little work force.)) and tools that will make your gathering of resources much faster and easier.

Little Kefling hats are placed on their heads when you assign them a task – (to assign a task you simply pick the kefling up, drop it on the resource, and then pick him up again and take him where you want it delivered and drop him there… he will then run back to spot A to get said resource and run it to point B and repeat it until you take his hat off). Keflings can have all sorts of jobs… chopping wood, mining rock and crystal, shearing sheep, carrying supplies from one place to another, teachers, mayors, loom workers, dye mixers, on and on it goes. One hint I will give you? The men work faster at the heavy work than the women… so when it comes to those heavy jobs? Hire a male kefling ;) sorry ladies, I didn’t make the game!

You are able to design your kingdom however you like… one of the fun parts of KFK is being able to pop into friends kingdoms because no 2 people build their kingdoms the same! You will see some HORRIBLY arranged for work and others that run smooth as can be. Some will be colorful and painted, some boring and generic. No matter though – if you build a horribly designed kingdom? you can break stuff down and move it :) I will cushion you however that visitors to your kingdom can ALSO break shit down so before letting your game go PUBLIC? save it – save it often.

This game is awesomely done and you will find yourself pleasantly completing tasks and plugging away at making a wicked kingdom for your keflings… when you are done you will feel a sense of sadness. You can rebuild a new kingdom, build one with friends, or you can wait for NinjaBee to release new downloadable content – though they have been saying “Coming soon! new content!” for a year or two with nothing to show for it… I wouldn’t hold my breath lol

For giggles you can play Kefling soccer ( assign 4 as goal posts, 2 as goalies to run between the goal posts, and then you and a friend kick a 3rd kefling as a ball – good fun!) You can kick keflings, kick sheep, kick friends ;) there is all sorts of fun to be had as you build yourself silly.

Have fun :D you are after all – A GIANT!

Game on, friends… game on!

Many of you have had the pleasure of playing WORMS before the Xbox 360 tossed it up in the arcade and many of you haven’t – either way it doesn’t matter because worms 2 Armageddon is actually a step UP on the old-school worms you all know and love.

Image

For those of you in the “never played” camp – Worms 2 Armageddon is a blast! Quite literally!

Basically you have an army of worms – who fight other armies of worms to the death on various backdrops! You can choose HOW your worms sound ( voices, language, taunts) as well as their name!

You have an array of weapons with which to defeat your enemies! Lots of them are funny Like the sheep (( you throw a sheep at your opponent – there is even a super sheep that you throw and it explodes when it gets near your opponent )) or a poke (( you poke them off a cliff into the water etc )). Lots of them are super effective such as the air raid, rocket launcher, homing missile, shot gun etc. You will have fun trying EVERY weapon you can get your grubby (pun intended) hands on. You will love some and hate others but each and every weapon in your arsenal has a purpose.

Image

During the game you will also find boxes of goodies dropped or sitting around the screen. Goodies such as new weapons, health boost and other helpful items.

You also will find bad things around the screen such as green toxic gunk, pressure switches (land mines), fire and Water. Most of the bad items will cause harm to your worms but water will kill them instantly! So beware! Water is the only thing in the game that guarantees instant death! Don’t fall into it!

Image

One thing in particular that I love about Worms 2 Armageddon is the fact that unlike OTHER war games this one is REALLY hard to talk smack in! The worms are cute and goofy. It is a cartoon like setting. The voices in the game are high pitched, squeaky and helium filled. If you are a person who gets frustrated in the war games due to the smack talking from the kiddies and boys – this might be the game for you. If there is any smack talk – there is no way you will keep a straight face during it because it just stems on ridiculous!

This game IS a war game so I know a lot of parents will NOT be OK with their children playing it but I think it is no worse than sitting down to an episode of the typical cartoon violence in shows we grew up on. (Tweety/Sylvester/Hiyote/ etc) Nothing about it is serious – except the fun!

This game is a hit with all ages, my mom gets a kick out of playing as well as watching as do my son and I. I would be hard pressed to find someone who DOESN’T laugh while watching or playing this game. A crowd pleaser that is thoroughly enjoyable.

I say buy it, try it and love it – as an arcade game it is reasonably priced and well worth the money/points.

I may see YOU on the battlefield!
Game on!

Sometimes there is a time to bitch, whine, piss and moan – and sometimes there isn’t.

Most of you know that I like to game on BigFishGames which is now BigSeaGames. Two weeks they did a website overhaul. Most of the change over has been glitchy to say the least but what change over EVER goes smoothly? This is universal fact when you change and or upgrade a website there are always kinks no matter how much you have tweaked and planned… things crop up!

The thing that REALLY tweaks me is 99% of the people that USE bigseagames are using the FREE games. They have NOT purchased memberships. Yet for some reason they feel that they have some right to sit there all pissed off that the games they love are having glitches or missing in action for a while as they get the site to run smoothly.

HELLO IF YOU DO NOT PAY FOR A PRODUCT YOU HAVE ZERO RIGHT TO BITCH ABOUT IT. Yup, ZERO! If you do not LIKE said free product? do not use it. Simple nes pas?

I will be sitting in a game room enjoying a game of something and the chat is flooded ( as are the forums ) with people pissing, whining, moaning, groaning and generally acting like petulant 5 year olds. So much so that I have actually reamed a few of them out! Now mychat is disabled so I can ignore all the ignorance.

Why don’t they just leave and go back to pogo as they threaten time and time again? Because people like that NEED to bitch about things to feel validated in this world that really and truly does not give a flying fuck what they think. People like this would rather sit there complaining than actually make CIVIL SUGGESTIONS to the tech’s that run the site. People like this would rather suck every last drop of FUN out of the site, because hey that is the way it is done!

Grow up, shut up and game.
Or? Turn off your fucking computer.
