In our advanced world, an increasing number of technologies have shaped how we live our daily lives. Computers have invaded a lot of industries most especially the gaming world. Different types of games have popped out in the vast world of the internet. From role playing games or RPGS, puzzle types and mystery games. One of the games rising into the spotlight is educational games that simulate real life activities such as dress-up and cooking games for young girls. But what makes these games so popular among young kids?

To start with these games are simply fun! Girls pretend to cook meals or bake cakes and that makes them happy. Rather than cooking with plastic toys with their stuff toys as their guests, in these games they have real customers who will judge their “cooking ability”.

If a girl bakes a flawlessly delicious strawberry cake online, they feel rewarded. The sense of achievement and the feeling that they won something is another reason why young girls are so hooked to these games. It’s either they collect experience level or money to buy new recipes. The reward system that these games offer is the reason why girls continue to play on.

Because the kitchen might be too risky for a child to play with, these games are a good alternative. Moms love these games because their children are gaining actual experience without the danger of cutting their fingers with knives or scalding themselves. It is a safe haven for children to play in.

And lastly, these online cooking games, like the world famous Barbie cooking games, are educational. There is a variety of scenarios and a lot of ways to discover cooking or baking. Difficulty of level can be adjusted to suite your child’s increasing skill in cooking. Their interest on cooking will keep on burning because there are an endless number of recipes your child can discover.

Your child needs to learn, enjoy and play during her childhood years. And parents play a vital role in what their child would be like in the future. Popular cooking games such as these provide the perfect opportunity for your child to explore and live new experiences.

Types Of Dress Up Games Suitable For Adults

In this article, I will list some, actually two, dress up games that I think are really suitable, favorable and most importantly, entertaining enough for adults or grown up persons. Although you might say that all online dress up games are playable by all people in any age brackets, I agree with you on that. They are playable, but let me ask you this, are they really suitable for them, especially for your kids.

Some online dress up games, although they are not some kind of a rated-r game or such, are only perfect to be played by persons in the age range of 15 and above (this is my own opinion and speculation only). Why? It’s because those people under that age bracket can relate to these games. They can easily understand more how these dress up games should be played and what the outcome will look like afterwards. So without any more delay, here are the games I am really eager to share.

Wedding Dress Up Games

weddingdressupgames
Wedding dress up games is a game, of course, suitable only for adults or grown up persons. Why? Because they know how a wedding dress should look. They know what kind of wedding gown or wardrobe the bride should wear. They also know what kind of color will contemplate the model they are using. Included here is the groom’s attire as well. Although, mostly they are just plain black and white. It is important as well to choose the proper cut and fit for the male model.

Couple Dress Up Games

coupledressupgames
This online version of dress up game, the couple dress up games is a no brainer or doesn’t need much explanation. The game title itself suggests that this game is suitable for people with partners in life. This game requires mixing and matching skills in terms of styling up the wardrobe of each model. It is like dressing up your character with a couple shirts that we see mostly at our local shopping malls.

There you have it. I hope you got my point why the above games are suitable for adults, although I am not saying kids can’t play them. I think grown up people will enjoy this game more than the kids around the internet world.

5 Ways to Have Fun Without Leaving the House

Aug 232011

Going out for a night on the town can be a lot of fun. However, it can also end up being really expensive. Let’s say you go to dinner, leave a respectable tip, grab some ice cream, maybe see a movie or some other show, pay for parking and gas and before you know it you’ll have racked up a nice little tab. Even if you’re not so worried about budget, it can be a nice change of pace to stay at home instead of going out.

Remember that while going out can be a lot of fun, it certainly isn’t the only way to find entertainment. In fact, there are plenty of things you can do to have fun without leaving the house. Here are 5 fun ideas to help you plan your next good time:

BBQ- The key to a good BBQ is spreading the word. Send out a message on Facebook, tweet about it, text, or all of the above. Make sure to tell them that they can bring any food or side dishes that they would like. More often than not your guests will bring tons of extra delectable snacks. It’s a good idea to make a playlist in advance so that you can have some music playing in the background while you get together.
Jam Session- Music is extremely versatile. Depending on the genre, music can help you feel: relaxed, happy, sad, excited, nervous, inspired, angry, and just about every other emotion possible. Since music is so powerful, why not get your friends together and enjoy it. If you play an instrument and know other musicians you can all get together and have a jam session. There doesn’t have to be a direction or purpose for your playing, just play because you love it.
Group Games- There are a lot of games like “What If?” or “Jenga” that you can play with a small to mid-size group. It may seem corny but pulling out some of the old board games can be a lot of fun. Let your guard down and give it a shot the next time you feel like staying home and having fun.
Have a Themed Party- This is kind of like a costume party but with more guidelines. You can base a themed party around a favorite movie, band, or even an original idea. If you come up with a catchy name then you’re in business. You could call your party Indiana Jones and the Fort of Doom, decorate your place like the movie, have people dress up to match, and serve Jones Soda. By doing so you’ve taken something recognizable and put your own spin on it. That’s just one example but you get the idea.
Make a Movie- If you are looking to do something fun and unusual then try making your own music video or commercial. Brainstorm with your friends about something that you could turn into a short clip. With everyone’s input you should be able to come up with the perfect idea for the occasion. If you’re feeling brave once you’ve finished then load it onto YouTube and see how many hits it gets.

When it comes to having fun at home you should never feel like the idea has to be complex or elaborate. You will want to make sure to double check with your landlord if you live in a rental property or apartment to make sure that your idea won’t be in violation of any of house rules. Now that you have a few ideas to get you started, go ahead and give it a shot for yourself.

UFC Personal Trainer [Review]

Jun 302011

UFC Personal Trainer for XBox Kinect, PlayStation Move and Wii was released today. This is the first dedicated martial arts training program to be released across all 3 major gaming platforms. Not so long ago console games had a bad reputation and were blamed for creating a nation of overweight teenagers. Since the launch of Wii Fitness they have turned this around and the UFC Personal Trainer is the most enjoyable and intensive home workout on a games console yet.

UFC Personal Trainer takes you through the fitness and conditioning exercises that MMA fighters use to get in shape for UFC tournaments. It also guides you through boxing and kicking routines to improve your fighting skills while also improving your core strength.

This really is the ultimate fitness system. It uses the secret training systems of the top UFC fighters and is proving to give a harder and more intensive workout than the standard console fitness programs.

Many people train in martial arts purely for fitness as martial arts exercises really do get you fighting fit in a short time. A combination on intensive cardio routines, bodyweight training, sparring, pad work, shadow boxing and stretching provide a great all round workout which never gets boring.

UFC Personal Trainer will take you through sequences on the focus mitts too. The trainer call the moves and you aim for the pads on screen. With the XBox Kinect it tracks your movements to determine if you are making a good strike or not. This simple form of training really helps top boost fitness as you constantly push yourself harder to keep up with the increasingly complex shadow boxing moves.

One word of caution though, when working on the pads or sparring your opponent provides a resistance which ensures that you never over stretch. It is through over stretching that most martial arts injuries occur, both to muscles, tendons and joints. It is important to keep your punches and kicks light and easy to prevent injury, especially if you are not already training in martial arts. Shadow boxing does provide an excellent workout but it should always be with light and fluid movements. If you want to hit hard, head to the gym.

Whether you enjoy martial arts or have never tried them then the UFC Personal Trainer is a great way to get fit at home and have fun at the same time.

UFC Personal Trainer was developed by Heavy Iron Studios and is published by THQ who have produced many console hits such as World Wrestling Entertainment, Company of Heroes and Red Faction.

After learning all the moves with the UFC Personal Trainer why not try them out for real. Order some mma gloves and focus mitts from www.black-eagle.co.uk and get training with your friends and family. Remember, always put safety first and if you are not sure how to perform a punch or kick correctly to consult with a qualified instructor.

Fashion Dolls Evolution

We all know that Barbie dolls and Bratz dolls dominate the fashion doll community and market nowadays. Barbie dress up dolls are seen offline and online so is the Bratz doll. But, did you know that before these famous dolls, there are so many variations and kinds of fashion dolls created?

Image Source: Countryliving.Com – The Doll Show

Fashion dolls were first seen at the market in the year 1860. The only available fashion doll at that time is the Bisque doll from French companies. Bisque dolls, being the first marketable fashion doll at that time easily dominated the market between 1860 and 1890. These dolls represent grown up women. They became popular with children of affluent families that loved to play with and dress in contemporary fashions.

It was in the mid-1990s when dolls like Gene Marshall from Ashton-Drake, Tyler Wentworth from Tonner and Alexandra Fairchild Ford from Madame Alexander appeared. They are between 15.5 and 16 inches (395 and 410 mm,) larger than other common fashion dolls.

Then came Fulla. Fulla was marketed to children of Islamic and Middle-Eastern countries as an alternative to Barbie. The concept of her evolved around 1999, and she hit stores in late 2003. As we can remember, it was September 2003 when the Middle Eastern country of Saudi Arabia outlawed the sale of Barbie dolls, saying that she did not conform to the ideals of Islam. This made Fulla one of the most famous dolls at UAE. Fulla was created by a UAE manufacturer from Dubai called NewBoy FZCO. Fulla is a role-model to some Muslim people, displaying how many Muslim people would prefer their daughters to dress and behave.

Asia, also has its own kind and variation of fashion dolls. Blythe dolls are considered one of the most famous Asian dolls ever. Blythe do have over sized heads and color changing eyes. They are originally made by American company Kenner but are now produced by Japanese company Takara. After Blythe’s success in the doll market, another doll with an over-sized head, Pullip, was created in 2003 in Korea.

Momoko Doll is another Japanese themed fashion doll. These dolls are a 1/6 scale (27 cm, 10.6 inch) fashion doll, similar in size to Robert Tonner’s Tiny Kitty Collier. Momoko was created in 2001 as a side project by a Japanese software company called Petworks.

So there you have it. The different kinds, types, characteristics and names of fashion dolls. Now you know that it’s not only Barbie and Bratz, although they really dominate the market of doll industry in such an extensive way.

Farmville Fail

Ok, this is just too much. I have been guilty in the past of letting Facebook games, (including Farmville), overtake the majority of my time, but seriously, what kind of person allows themselves to get so engrossed in a GAME that they kill their baby?? It’s things like this that just frighten me about the future of our society.:

A 22-year-old mother from Jacksonville, Florida, has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for shaking her 3-month-old son to death after his crying interrupted her FarmVille game.

The mother, Alexandra V. Tobias, was arrested in January and declared her plea on Wednesday before Circuit Judge Adrian G. Soud, The Florida Times-Union reports.

She told investigators that she shook the baby, smoked a cigarette “to compose herself,” and proceeded to shake him again. The baby may have hit his head during one of the two shakings, she said.

What is wrong with people? This is insane!

When I was playing the social games at Facebook, it took a few months, but I finally realized it was taking up way too much of my time. I would spend countless hours worrying over them, trying to make sure I checked in before my crops withered, or my dishes at Cafe World spoiled. They began to completely consume my life. After a few months of this, I had to block ALL of those types of games and get back to reality.

I guess the majority of people are like me – they don’t let social gaming interfere with their lives! But ever so often, you hear about some craziness like this. I am trying hard to believe that it’s not the games doing this, and that people like this crazy chick who killed her precious little baby already have mental problems to begin with.

What do you think? Are these wretchedly addictive social games making people lose their minds, or are they just insane from the get-go? Leave a comment to voice your opinion.

Second Life Is Awesome!

For years, my daughter has been a member of a few of the virtual worlds out there, including IMVU; There.com, (which recently closed, much to her chagrin); and Second Life. She has hounded me for years to try them, but unfortunately, my old computer couldn’t handle the software.

That was then…this is now. I have a new computer with better hardware and she finally talked me into becoming a member of Second Life about 2 weeks ago, and I have been so hooked on it, I can barely think of anything else! I even DREAM ABOUT IT! Aaaahhh! But I am having so much FUN!

I’m still trying to learn the basics, but each day I learn a little more and pretty soon, I think I’ll be ready to do some heavy-duty role playing.

It has been ages since my days of role playing, (mainly Dungeons & Dragons), and things have really come a long way. Oh how I wish we’d had something like Second Life to use during our campaigns back then. It would have been so cool.

If you are on Second Life and would like to hang out with me, my avatar’s name is Magdalena Skizm. Would be so nice to have someone to explore with until I can get the hang of things, so…ADD ME PLEASE!
