Baloon invasion is a computer game. It is a game where you are a tank and you click to fire. Wherever your curser is the bullet pops the balloon if it has a little life left. If it has a lot of life left it does a lot of dammage. You can buy upgrades, that means more tanks.
The tanks can do different things. One fires quick bullets, one fires missles, another one fires slow bullets, and one freezes. You can earn commander points and you can level up your commander. When your commander level is higher, the game becomes easier. Commander points can upgrade every part about you and let you buy more tanks. At first you cannot buy tanks.
There are things that help you like slow bullets comming and popping near the end of the screen. Airplanes that pop balloons most of the time. And airplanes that pop balloons but they go away.
I like that you can be defeated even though you are against balloons! I like everything about the game. I like the color scheme. Everythign is colored with green, white, grey and black. The upgrade system is great. 5 GOLDEN stars.

Desktop Tower Defense
Desktop Tower Defense is a video game. You play it on the computer with the mouse. The enemies are trying to get to the other side of the gameboard. You try not to let twenty enemies get through.
You play by making a maze and you make the maze out of towers. A tower has special powers. A tower can have one out of four powers. The powers are shooting pellets, double pellets, freezing, and slowing down. It costs gold to buy a tower. You can play it in special modes like 10,000 pieces of gold. A wave of enemies is twenty enemies.
5 STARS! I like how the graphics work. I like that you can upgrade the towers five times. I like that there are five different kinds of enemies.

Bookworm Adventures
Bookworm Adventures is where you are a worm that has super spelling powers. He has a helper Professor Codex. You have 16 letters. Sometimes you have the same letters, but most of the time you have different letters. You click on a few of the letters to make a word. There is this attack thing at the bottom, when it turns bright green you click on it and it attacks your opponent.
Your opponent has a certain number of hearts, you have hearts too. The hearts are for your and their life. When you attack the hearts go down and you have less life and your enemy can attack also. Every time you attack the damage depends on how long your word is. Try and get the longest words that you possibly can because it does more damage. If you are in delux mode it does overkill bonus.
Level one the computer has one heart. Then it gets harder. Level one just gets you started and it gives you the letters to beat your opponent in one hit in order. There are six levels after that. The sixth level is the one before the boss. After you beat the boss you go to the next chapter of the book. There are three books. Later in the game the levels get harder. At the end they are crazy hard.
As you level up you can increase your attack, your life, and your defense. You start out with three hearts. As you level up you can get more hearts. If you get higher defense it's like armoring, but not as much as your opponents get armor. If your attack gets increased, the longer the word it actually does more damage than if you didn't level up.
FOUR STARS. I like it because you can get long words easily, but I don't like it because for kids that are still learning big words and your parents ask you to say them and tell what they mean you might not know what it means and might not know how to pronounce it correctly. I like the graphics. You can change it so that it looks flat instead of 3D. I like that you can change the mouse to this little arrow thing of a mabob.

What I think about Starcraft II
Starcraft is a cool game where you can be Terrins or Protoss. If you are Protoss you are against the Terrins. If you are Terrins you are against the Protoss. It is a shooting game.
I like how the graphics work. The graphics are good because they look real. I like how the factories look. The factories make units.
Now I will talk about the units. The Thor turns very slowly but it has some very powerful guns on it's back. The Cobra is potent to the Thor. The Cobra can turn very quickly and fire at the same time. I like the Protoss Mothership. The Mothership can create a black hole and she can use the planet cracker which is very strong to enemy ground targets.

Alhambra
players: 2-6
long: 30-90 minutes
age: 8 and up
how to play: Basically all you need to do is make the biggest Alhambra with the longest chain of walls.
I like that there are three rounds and all you have to do is get the most points in all the rounds. You buy tiles with money. Then you try to place them in the right spots and you have to be able to walk to the middle of your Alhambra. If you go to 120 points you have to restart if you go over at least that's what I think.
I like everything about it.
