Target Bowling Review

At any arcade, you are bound to find a game called skee ball; this is one of the simplest games in the world to play; just put the token in, grab the ball, and roll it down the little ramp, and see which hole it lands in. You only get nine balls, so make them count. Most people would agree that this game is one of the best games to play in an arcade, and now on www.candystand.com, you can play this exact same game; the rules are pretty much the same; you get a total of nine balls, and you do the same thing you would do in a real arcade; roll the ball down the ramp, and try to make it fall into the hole with the highest points.

Mahjongg Review

Have you ever wanted to play a game where you could just sit back and enjoy playing?; you don’t have to press the buttons so hard; you don’t have to pay attention to health bars; you don’t have to worry about reloading your weapon, or running for cover, or switching your weapons when you run out of ammo. In this game, you can just sit back, listen to calming music, and try to match up as many tiles as possible against different kinds of scenery. The one catch is that the tiles have to be on the outside, so if you’re trying to match a tile that isn’t on the outside of the board, then you have to match the tiles that are next to it first, before you can match the tile you were trying to match.

Hover Wars Review

Bumper cars is one of the most exciting rides to go on; you get into an car that has rubber around it, and the rules are pretty simple; its right in the name actually; just ride around, and bump into people; now that same concept, only instead of riding on a solid surface, you hover around an arena, and try to bump your opponents out of the arena. This sounds easy right; well it might seem easy, but your opponents can be pretty cunning, and could gang up on you and bump you right off the arena. So stay sharp, and you’ll be able to bump back, and knock a few cars off the arena in the progress.

Call of Duty: World at War Review

Everything seems pretty peaceful in the United States; but overseas, one of the most epic wars in history is brewing; World War II. Now this was not that much concern to the United States, until December 7th, 1941, when the Japanese decided to surprise the United States with an attack on Pearl Harbor. Now the United States has no choice, but to get involved in World War II. The Japanese are extremely cunning and well-organized, so the only question is: will the United States be able to defeat the Japanese? As history dictated, we were able to defeat them with the aid of the Hydrogen bomb.
