Bike Games for Your Kids

If you are riding your bike and playing a game, it takes a tremendous amount of coordination to do so. Your parents probably do not pay that much attention and do not realize the motions you must go through in order to beat your opponent.

There is a large selection of these bike games that are out there to pick from. Elementary games are available for the beginners. Flying Bike is a really cute game where you play a baby who has to fly his bike and shoot plumbers helpers at enemies that are trying to make him fall off his bicycle.

Another fun game is Stunt Bike Draw. You get to be the boss and draw your ramps for stunt jumping. If you have really complicated ramps and do lots of stunts, you will also get more points of course. Some games have obstacles you have to avoid hitting with your bike and abilities to be immune to certain things in the games or do special types of jumps.

Another game, BMX Ghost, involves beating a ghost to the end of the finish line. You are on a track racing and all of a sudden a ghost appears right beside you wearing an old outdated bike uniform. This might stop any bike racer if they saw this.

Of course, there are many obstacles that you have to overcome and some are related to the kind of bike you are riding on. There are mountain bike games to play with different trails and levels to pick from and falling rocks to watch out for. You have to go back and forth and try to beat the last high score for the game.

Marble Multiball – The Castle Adventure iPhone and iPad Game Review

You can’t help but feel that Marble Multiball – The Castle Adventure is inspired from Labyrinth on the App Store and why not have a crack at that genre it has proven to be very popular amongst iPhone and iPod Touch owners.

The main idea of the game is to tilt your iPhone like a Labyrinth and in result get a ball where it needs to go, usually down a whole. As you have most probably guessed the ‘Multiball’ within the games title represents the main theme whereby instead of controlling just one ball like in most the games of this genre you control more and more as you progress through the 42 levels.

Getting 7 balls each into a separate hole is seriously challenging and every degree of accuracy counts literally. The levels are very varied with one level needing you to get your balls into colour coded whole representing the balls colour (I’m saying balls a lot in this review) and another where you need to get your ball into it’s hole while guiding it through a a maze to find it before the time runs out on the clock.

The controls are ultra precise and finely tuned for both the iPhone and iPad. Every movement you make with your device is then put into action and represented on screen. It’s was like real balls were underneath my screen this is due to the fantastic physics engine Mad Processor Games have created.

The graphics are themed as if they were within a castle hence the title of the game. The Gothic look is nice and all but I felt a tad lonely while playing it unlike Labyrinth 1 and 2 on the App Store but that is deliberate.
