More Game Credits

Time to pick out some new casual games. I’m getting quite a collection of Big Fish credits. I’m thinking about going for another seek and find adventure. Those are always fun especially find objects like watches that can be either like Nautica watches or pocket watches. Those clues are the ones you use hints to find.

Anyway, I was hoping to find Scrabble Blast but it looks like Big Fish doesn’t have that one. Peggle Nights hasn’t been released yet, so there’s nothing that is just standing out that I really want to play. Well, when in doubt, consult the top 100 to see what everyone else is playing.

I may have to try Dairy Dash since I’m absolutely mad about Diner Dash. This is made by the same folks, so could be fun to try. Of course, the girl really loves the Dora game, so I can always get her another game. It’s time to spend some and play some new games.

Make Money Playing Online Games?

Online Games No Comments »

Is this really possible? I’ve been looking into ways to increase what I earn online and of course, this would grab my attention since I love playing games. Is this really a way to make money or not?

It depends because most gaming sites I’ve seen either have a jackpot that you could win or you earn points to buy gifts. Moola.com is about the only one I know that offers you cash when you win. Of course, you start out with a penny and must win many games in a row to have a nice amount.

I’m not sure the market research really shows online game portals as a profitable way to advertise. So you can win money but just not at lot and not often. Most online games have a jackpot, so if you’re lucky enough to win, then you can earn money. If you don’t win, at least you earn tokens that are good for prizes.

Since I’m researching ways to make money online this summer, I will have to dig deeper into making money by playing games. It does sound really enticing as long as it’s not a jackpot sort of setup but actual cash for playing.

Wal-Mart Gaming Clearance

At the beginning and end of each season, Wal-Mart finally will put items on clearance. Yesterday i stopped by Wal-Mart to pick up a site to store order when I noticed some clearance items in electronics.

I couldn’t stop for long but did notice some Wii classic game controllers with gloves marked down and those DS game packs that feature games like Elite Beat Agents. Those were marked down to $10. I’ve been interested in playing Elite Beat Agents, plus I get a case for my DS. They had a lot of other items but since I was in a hurry, I didn’t have time to sift through everything.

Since it seems I can’t stay away, I’m sure I will be at Wal-Mart within the next few days and will have more time to look at all the clearance items. Check your local store to see what they have on clearance. Some stores have better deals and more clearance items than others.

Scrabble Blast Deluxe

Pogo.com used to be one of my favorite online gaming communities. Then I started enjoying the downloaded casual games more instead of playing them online. I guess my old age is catching up with me since games installed on my PC are bigger and easier to play. Still, I miss some of the games, so I thought I would check them out again. Am I glad I did!

I found a real gem in Scrabble Blast. It’s a word game as you probably guessed from the title. In the main game you have 100 letters to make as many words as you can. Tiles must touch, so you have to build chains. You are scored on the actual Scrabble value of each letter.

I have been playing a lot of computer Scrabble lately and really enjoy it, so finding a word game with a Scrabble theme is right up my alley. Too bad Big Fish doesn’t carry this title as I would love to use a game credit to buy it.

Build-a-lot 2

My favorite game that has to do with commercial real estate has a sequel. Build-a-lot 2: Town of the Year is definitely on my want list since I enjoyed playing the first game so much.

In Build-a-lot 2, you use your skills to build a town. It’s up to you to place shopping malls, town buildings, and resident housing. This resource management game is fun and challenging. Plus how often do you have the chance to build a town? Yeah, not often.

Build-a-lot 2 is in the top 5 at Big Fish Games. For Sims fans who enjoy the building more than the playing, this could be a great tide me over until the release of The Sims 3. Aren’t casual games great? You can always download the free demo and play an hour so you will know exactly if it’s a fun game.

Want to visit the Caribbean but don’t want to search for cheap hotels? Then why not enjoy a casual game set in the Caribbean. Ok, it’s not exactly the same thing but will be a lot cheaper than actually traveling there.

Caribbean Pirate Quest is a match-3 casual game that features swashbuckling pirates and high sea adventures. You’ll search for 10 real buried treasures as you travel to the Caribbean. You can also earn upgrades to your ships. But just remember to keep your crew happy or they might just make you walk the plank!
