Wacky Games Wednesday!

3rd World Farmer - Exactly what the title suggests. You play as a third world farmer with a tiny plot of land, small amount of cash, and some crops to plant. As you progress through the years, you can choose to purchase animals or farming equipment, go to school, and marry off your children. However, a ridiculous amount of freak accidents and sicknesses make this game challenging. But the idea is not to have fun while playing this game, it is to learn about the hardships of a life that we will all probably never have to face. Though it is very satisfying when you pull yourself out of poverty.

Ayiti: The Cost of Life - Similar to 3rd World Farmer, except that this game takes place specifically in Haiti, spans over four years, and IS IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN. Seriously, by year two my family is all on the verge of death. I think I once made it to the end of the fourth year, and my summary was, "Your family is in terrible shape. They had OK lives." This game is sponsored by UNICEF, and I bet you they don't WANT you to win. Again, the idea is to learn. Blaaah.

Britney's Baby Dash - Britney Spears is back with a vengeance! After the incident where she was caught driving with Sean Preston in her lap, child services are threatening to take little Sean away from his mother, unless she has anything to do about it. Which apparently involves chucking her baby into the air while throwing soiled diapers at the child services people. This is a pretty simple side-scrolling game, though it would be better if the soundtrack was "Oops! I Did It Again". ^_^

Loa and the Island Quest - A Rayman-esque character named Loa is sent back to the past to defeat the "evil" that is ruining the future. This adventure/platform game is pretty awesome; very fun game play and fun music, it almost feels like a real video game! The levels are pretty tricky, but then again I'm not too skilled with playing on a keyboard. But the best part by far is simply the fact that I can fast forward through cut scenes (a flash game with cut scenes?!) and run really fast. Because the best part of video games is when you can run really fast. Games where you can't go fast are torturous.

Roly Poly - A cute little puzzle game where you guide Poly the Hedgehog to the finish line. It even comes complete with some neato retro video game music ^_^ A very good time waster, this game.


Happy Procrastinating!
