Home Improvement Handyman ChallengeDecember 24, 2007
Publisher: Nick at Night
Graphics: 4Sound: 3Stability: 5Overall: 2     Home Improvement Handyman Challenge is a game recently featured by Nick at Night, and based off of the 90’s TV show of the same name. The game is comprised of three mini-games, the scores of which are tallied to provide a final rank. In the first mini-game, the goal is to hammer nails into a board. The game is timed, and hitting a nail off center will cause it to bend. The second game is also timed, and requires you to shoot a nail gun at selected targets. In the last game, you trace the outline of a shape with a jigsaw. Going too slow causes the battery to go dead (since not using something rapidly consumes its battery life). The graphics fit into the tool theme, and heavily features characters from the show. The games menus are highly styled, and some transition and loading effects help the game seem polished. The sound effects to the game are good, but the music is annoying, and sounds like it is constantly repeating. The big problem with the game is that the mini-games just aren’t that fun. They lack any real depth and get boring fast. I’d only recommend this game if you are big fan of the TV show, or can compete against some friends for the title of “Master Toolman”. |
At first glance, 13 days in hell appears to be quite impressive. The game has a neat occult feel to it, the menus have a 3d book as a back drop, and the game starts by having you sign the ’13 days challenge pact’. Sadly, after a few rounds, the game play starts to get highly repetitive, and what you are left with is a highly-polished, but highly mediocre game. |
Escaping Paris 2 is a very short, very simple little game in which you help Paris Hilton escape from jail. The controls are very simple, and all items are used automatically. |
Fratboy House Wars is a worms-like game, in which you lob books, kegs, dogs,
rockets and what might be beer bottles at an adjacent frat house. If you like
worms, or scorched earth, you’ll probably like it – and if you do decide to play
it, make sure you click the cat in the forth level |
