Stand O'Food 2 Game Review

Burgers! More games came out with the theme on burgers. I guess burgers are popular food for everyone on the go. Fast food, within a short time, can be produced and you can munch when you're in the rush for meetings, or when you've no time to cook. But eaten frequently, as you know, are not healthy and not a balance meal. Never treat fast food as your daily staple but nevertheless, when eaten in moderation, it should be all right and fun too! I admit I do take burgers but only once in blue moon. It's been some whole 2 months since I ate a burger and suddenly have a craving for it. So it's really enjoyable to play Stand O'Food 2 at this hour.

This is an addicting game where you will be preparing the patties according to the customers that came in to the shop. Burgers with cheese, fish fillet, meat, tomatoes slices, buns are some of the ingredients you have to put together before grilling it to the customer's taste. Get it fast to avoid losing the customers, okie? All the ingredients will be rolled in by machines and just take the bun and the meat slices according to the sequence. Once you've gotten the ingredients right, the game will automatically direct your character (the burger jockey) to grill the burgers. The customers who receives them will give you the cash....yippie!

In Stand O'Food 2, you can only take the ingredients placed on the front. Take for example, you need the fish fillet and it's behind the beef. You don't need the beef yet as there's no order, so click on the beef to take it and place it down at the plate. When your hand is empty, then reach for the fish fillet that is now available to you. Simple right?

The cash you earn will get you the upgrade you desperately needs, more plates so that you can place more items at the side in order to reach for the right ingredients you want, or some other exciting things to please your customers while they are waiting for their food to be ready.

When you have more plates, it's easier to tackle the game. Don't have to run that extra mile and you can just swap ingredients when you need it. One thing I learn is that you can hold many items with your hands and if the items are three or four sequence away from the front row, don't panic. Just keep on clicking till you get that piece of meat that you want. Walk quickly to the plate and put down that meat first. Then you need to return the rest of the stuffs you don't need to the machine lines. After that, you know the step. Return to the plate just now and get the meat that you need. Phew! Seems like there are a lot of steps right? This is what makes this game so addictive as you learn new trick as you go along this game.

Stand O'Food 2 is really as additive as the actual burger and fries!

Grand Theft Auto IV - Oh My Word!

Grand theft Auto IV, well there's a looker. For those followers of the game from way back when, when you saw a top down view of our anti hero rushing round doing dodgy jobs and generally being a favourite household sociopath chases back then reminding me of a game called "run baby run" on the Spectrum. Liberty City is the place to be with a mix of night perps and ordinary people, then slowly spice this up with a bit of crime and rocketlaunchers and you just about have it? Oh did I mention that it looks fantastic! Not only are the character interactions smooth and well executed but you get a whole host of options on how you play the character.

The cars and motorbikes look fantastic, and everyone has different properties depending on type or size. When you wipe out on a motorbike the character movements are amazing no longer rag doll but intelligent accident. With Niko as the lead you have some excellent voice overs in the back ground, giving the game realism in a kind of sociopathic way. Starting off as a Taxi driver for your cousin the game slowly leads you into the torrent of energy that is grand theft auto IV. Whether its beating up drug dealers for a friend or doing errands for the mob it isnt long before you have gotten in deep with only speed and some heavy artillery to get you out.

Basically the whole thing looks like New York, feels like New York but is actually Liberty city. Interaction is great with the ability to shoot some pool or have a quick shandy down the local with a mate. The bridges may well have a toll to pay and if you try to get into a car to drive after having a few drinks the police will arrest you. Anyway enough talking get out their and have a go its brilliant and before anyone says anything about gratuitous violence and the like, your right it is and has mature content but that is why it also has an 18 certificate. Parents police your consoles and computers, but those that are old enough spend some time tearing it up with the lights low and the volume growling.

So if you have a home full of consoles and computers get someone in to sort out the PAT Testing to make sure they are okay for the extended game play. And get your house for sale by owner and move somewhere you can turn up the volume very loud, and most of all enjoy.
