Great Distraction With National Geographic Challenge

The winter holiday is close and this is why a lot of people are looking for entertaining ways to spend their free time. Most of the times, the end of the year is spent together with the family as everybody gathers to have some time together. In order to help those who are looking for cheap and safe ways  of entertainment, I would like you to consider the game for platforms Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and Playstation 3 entitled   National Geographic Challenge.
This game was made for the whole family and it can be played by 4 players at a time. There are a lot of standard questions, anagrams and fast focus to which the competitors have to answer. There are also new puzzle mini-games and riddles.
National Geographic Challenge has original content with hundreds of high-quality images and 60 minutes HD films. A good thing in making this game is the fact that it can be played even by those who don't speak English as it has French and Spanish versions.
Besides the fact that it offers entertainment to those who play it, National Geographic Challenge is also an educational game. Due to its content, the game offers the competitors possibility to explore the history and geography of the world, in different stages of its existence, to discover some secrets of humanity and to find out many historical and geographical curiosities.
I used the word "competitors". Yes, indeed, I used it correctly because this game offers the players the opportunity to take part in a competition, being able to pass from one level to another only if they give correct answers to the questions and if they manage to conquer different territories.
In conclusion, National Geographic Challenge is a game that will enliven the holiday atmosphere, so that good spirits will surround the family and the time you spend with your loved-ones will be agreable. My final advice: tis game can be a great present to offer to your dear ones.

Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition - Online

Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition is a new action game released on March 27, 2011 by Capcom.

Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition utilizes the 3DS wireless functionality to allow for seamless multiplayer action, as well as a crystal clear spectator mode and StreetPass functionality that automatically shares information with other 3DS owners you pass and allows for automatic battles in Figurine Mode. Other features include: 35 playable fighters, two control schemes, an optional over-the-shoulder fighting perspective in 3D Mode and single card multiplayer functionality.

The fourth major release in the DS product line, the Nintendo 3DS utilizes 3D Slider functionality and an improved top LCD display to present a glasses-free 3D effect in compatible games, while giving players the option to moderate the effect as they see fit.

The game play is very solid, you got the full roster of the console game which has 35 characters and the balance are made well. Regarding the skill, if you have trouble memorizing the move combination or using a hard move, you can put it in the lower screen, and simply touch that grid, your character will make that move.

There are clearly 3 layers: the HP bar and other icons, your fighter, and the background. There is an extra viewing angle which is 45 degrees behind your fighter. This angle gives even better 3D effect but you probably will just use to experience the 3D because it makes you very difficult to judge the distance between you and the opponent. Often times you think your kick can hit your opponent but you can't.

The upgrade of sound from DS to 3DS is obvious, and the game includes almost all sound effects from the console version.
Conclusion: Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition is the best selection for the Nintendo 3DS since launch. It's packed with a lot of characters and the 3D effect on this game won't disappoint you. Actually, the 3D effects actually makes the game appear to have better graphics than in 2D mode. The controls are very nice with the mini joystick, and it really makes you realize the great build quality of the 3DS game system. It's a very fun game, just as you would expect from a good Street Fighter game.
