Ancient Roman Town

This is an ancient Roman town that I made in Sketchup. I used a picture as a template. The walls were down with the picture removed.

Video Game Journalist 7

     The video game is called 'Cat in Japan' and it can be found on Kongregate.com. You may have enable the flash if you are using the up to date version of Chrome. It's a point and click game. I would advise you use an external mouse to play this game on a laptop. I've worn out the mousepad on my laptop playing point and click games. Too much clicking in a short amount of time is not good for it. In the game, you have to find 20 sushi, by solving puzzles, for Bonte Cat. He had arrived in Japan and has been dreaming of sushi. Unfortunately this game made me crave sushi.
     The puzzles are easy, but fun to figure out. I like how the clues to the puzzles are visible in the game background. You don't have look at the walkthrough in the comments, like for some games. I don't see any glitches or bugs, so the coding is well done. The game animation is flat, reminiscent of an old cartoon. If you click on something it moves, following normal physics. It's has very colorful and bright architecture, but its very flat. The music matches the setting of the game, which is Japan. I recommend this game and the rest of the Bonte Cat series.

      The video game is called 'Neil the Nail' and it is played on PC. It can be found on Kongregate.com. I like that its easy to play and is a point and click. It's a 3D side scroll and is controlled by the mouse. You have to use your mouse to cause a chain of reactions and actions. Some of the reactions have amusing results. I don't see anything that needs to be improved, so it is probably been debugged or the coding was done well.
     The music reminds me of an adventure or a spy movie, but it is a bit annoying so I leave it muted. Some of the parts are timed and you have to move fast. The shadows are very realistic and is correct for the lighting in the game. The textures are realistic and well done. In the story, its the eternal battle against the evil hammers. The protagonist is Neil the nail and he must find Mr. Magnet. The game is hilarious and I would recommend it to others. I do wish there was a sequel though.
