Another Game Shown by Alex: Battle Force 5 StormShock Attack

Today I played this game called “StormShock Attack.”  Your goal is to defeat the Red Scientists’ vehicles coming through the StormShock.  The StormShock is like a tornado that the Battleforce 5 people and their vehicles come through.  You can shoot rockets at the vehicles and some waves will have debris, and you need to shoot those also.

You can get power-ups to shoot more rockets at a time, and power-ups that refill your shield, which is health.  In the higher waves, which are the higher levels, some of the Red Scientists’ vehicles will shoot back at you.  The things are red circles with a bit of black inside of them.  They are just like debris — you can explode them just like debris.

My favorite thing about this game is that you need a bit of skill to complete this.  It gets a bit easier when you can unlock the second vehicle, which is the Skyknife. And this can shoot more rockets at a time, and has more shield with more lives.

The thing I don’t like about this game is that it is too easy for the Red Scientists’ vehicles to get to the top, and you can get hit (and if you get hit, you lose shield).  It’s a bit too easy to miss the Red Scientists’ vehicles when shooting, but it’s easy to get the debris, because they only go one way.  The Red Scientists’ vehicles spiral up the StormShock and it’s harder if they spiral because then you need to spiral on the side of it, and simultaneously keep shooting.  And it takes 10 shots to explode one Red Scientist’s vehicle.

Today’s Favorite Game: Flash Flight Simulator

My favorite online computer game is Flash Flight Simulator.  Because I like computer games where you have to fly a helicopter or airplane.  There’s two modes: Missile Evasion or Free Flight.  My favorite is Free Flight because you can just fly around.  Missile Evasion is not my favorite because there are only three modes to choose from.  The options are Normal Missile Evasion, 1903 Missile Evasion and Low Altitude Missile Evasion.  In Free Flight, you can choose one from 20 planes (the one in the picture is a Boeing 737)  and just free fly .

I like to fly because…actually, I don’t know why I like to.  In this game, I like that you can actually choose the kind of plane you want, but the downside is that for two of the Miscellaneous planes you can only buy them with Mochi coins, and I’m not signed up for those.  And in real life money it costs $50 to get both of those. The only Miscellaneous plane you can use without coins is the Wright Flyer, which is the Wright Brothers’ plane. My favorite plane in the game is the 587 Blackbird US – it’s supersonic and it’s very easy to evade missiles with because you’re faster than the missiles.  If you’d like to play the game, you can find it at: http://www.bigfuntown.com/Game-1775.html

Oopses

[Mom sez: This is an essay Alex wrote at school.]

The most important thing about an oops is that you learn from it. It can hurt a lot. You can get frustrated with it. You can get in trouble with it. But the most important thing about an oops is that you learn from it.

My first post

I’m Alex and this is my new blog. In this blog I’m going to write about what’s going on. Tonight I’m looking at a model airplane catalog.  They want $29.99 for a two-propellor plane.  I would have to do 30 loads of laundry to make that much money. And there’s nothing cheaper in the catalog.  Well, maybe there is, but only accessories, not an actual toy.  How am I going to do all that laundry????!!!!!!
