Review: "Ivy the Kiwi" - Nintendo DS

Reviewed by Paul for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 92/100

I was so impressed with Ivy the Kiwi? on the Wii that I put the Nintendo DS version on my purchase wish list. The game finally came down into my price range, and I scooped it up. This hand held title has the player take on the role of a little bird trying to find his mother. The main game play mechanic is to draw vines that the little birdie can walk along. This is also a way to bring the birdie over walls, and to avoid spikes. Spikes will be the least of the player’s concerns in some levels. There are nasty creatures that will try and hurt your noble creature.

Review: "One Epic Game" - iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad

Reviewed by Sam for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 67/100

One Epic Game earns points for such an epic name for a game. This iPhone/iPod Touch game is a run and gun. In case your not versed on that term, let me explain. This is a game with a character that is running from left to the right. He shoots enemies as they come up to him. One Epic Game includes a mountain of jumping, and shooting.

I was actually sittin' in Denny's on the laptop, wi-fied in, thinking of something to write about. Suddenly, the Spirit drop into my mind, Tim Tebow.

So here I am, tebowing, like the rest of humanity. He's the most popular man on the planet, or at least it seems. The epitome of infamy, the neo-muhammad ali, if you will. Except He claims Christ, of course.

So, exactly who is Tim Tebow? Well....Hmph...Lets see...

Review: "Children of Mana" - Nintendo DS

Reviewed by RPG Master for FamilyFriendlyGaming

SCORE: 58/100

Children of Mana is a wonderful example of what is wrong with the role playing genre in this age. Some of these problems have existed for a long time, but numerous companies have progressed past them. Here is another role playing game that promotes goddess worship. No wonder so many weak Christians have turned to new age beliefs. They have been brain washed over and over again by the game developers proselytizing their beliefs. All the while they say to themselves its only entertainment. Yet they conform to what the game tells them.

Review: "Breakout Boost plus" - iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad

SCORE: 95/100

One of early games I remember playing as a child was Breakout. Fast forward to 2012, and Atari has blessed us with the release of Breakout Boost+. This is quite simply the best Breakout game I have ever played Hands down. Using a little paddle to bounce a ball towards blocks of varying colors has never been more fun.

The universe had a beginning. Starting with the studies of Albert Einstein in the early 1900s and continuing today, science has confirmed the biblical view that the universe had a beginning. When the Bible was written most people believed the universe was eternal. Science has proven them wrong, but the Bible correct.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Hebrews 1:10-12 In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.

"EPK" (Not On Album)" Music Video by Parachute Band from the album Matins Vespers

A missional force. A musical vanguard. An authentic voice. These are just a few phrases that characterize the energy, musicality and compelling artistry flowing from one of today's most beloved worship bands - Starfield.

With the release of their new album, The Kingdom, this award-winning brotherhood is aiming straight for the soul once again, confirming why the accolades accompanying their career to date are so well deserved.

Hailing from New Zealand, the Parachute Band returns with an all new praise and worship CD. The double-disc album draws its title from the early church traditions of Matins; morning songs of praise, and Vespers; evening reflective worship.

The first single from the album, a song called “Keep The Fire Burning” was released early December 2011.
