When the Past was Around

Chorus Worldwide presents When the Past was Around, a whimsical point-and-click puzzle video game that tells a bittersweet tale between an aspiring violinist named Eda and her lover The Owl in a surreal world consisting of disjointed rooms of memories and time. Through this short silent narrative adventure, you experience their love, grief and how she moves on. This game is available to buy now on PC, Steam, PS4, Xbox One and Switch. I am delighted to receive a free code to play this game on the Nintendo Switch. This is a single player game that will take less than two hours to complete.

Fortnite Battle Royale Pro Gamer Guide Review

Fortnite Battle Royale has become such a massive online game in such a short period of time. Since it’s release two years ago, there are now millions of people playing each day, including my son! He is such a big fan. However, I am totally clueless and I have no idea what the attraction is about the game. Nevertheless, if your child is a big fan, you might want to get this book for them!

Monopoly Fortnite Review

Last month, Monopoly Fortnite was revealed as one of the 12 ultimate toys of 2018 by the DreamToys organisation! This game is inspired by the popular Fortnite video game and now it is not about what players own; it is about how long they can survive in this Monopoly game! To win, you have to be the last man standing, just like the game!

Although this game is suitable for aged 13 and above, both of my children were super keen to play it! Mr K is a big Fortnite fan and he is loving this! This board game is suitable for two to seven players and it features well-known locations as properties, and players aim to earn Health Point chips instead of Monopoly money to stay in the game!

PJ Masks: Super City Run Review

Super City Run is a brand new video-game for PJ Masks and is available to download now on Amazon, Apple and Android devices for £2.29. The game offers young players a PJ Masks themed challenge.

If you have not heard of PJ Masks, it revolves around three six year olds, Connor, Amaya, and Greg, who lead relatively normal lives by day. They are neighbours, classmates, and friends. However, at night, they become Catboy, Owlette, and Gekko, and fight crime as the superhero team PJ Masks. They get together to go on adventures, defeat villains, solve mysteries, and learn valuable lessons.

Loony Quest Review

Loony Quest is a challenging board game that plays like a video game, where you play with 3D and 2D levels, run into Loonies, big bosses, trigger special stages, collect bonuses, use penalties on opponents, and gather as many Xperience points as possible to win. This game is available to buy from Esdevium store finder or on Amazon.

This game is set in the wonderful land of Arkadia and the very old king has no heir. He organizes a tournament to offer his throne to the bravest adventurer of the kingdom. It is for aged 8 and above to be play with 2 to 5 players to wander the seven worlds of surprises.

Thank Gosh It’s Monday

Do you love or hate Mondays? Mondays are often the most hated day of the week. I used to hate them as I worked 4.5 days a week as an Operating Theatre Nurse. Normally, I worked during office hour and occasionally did shift work. It meant I had to wake up at 7am to get to work at 8am. I have never been a morning person and after having a weekend rest, Monday was not my favourite day at work. More things seemed to go wrong too like making sure there were beds available for the patients, surgery instruments, etc. But since I am a SAHM, I now love Mondays!

Minecraft Steve & Animal Mobs Review

A couple of months ago, I was debating with my husband whether we should get the Minecraft app for Mr K. He had been begging for days. We both knew very little about Minecraft and what the objective of the game is. I’ve since learnt that Minecraft is a Lego style adventure game which puts players in a randomly-generated world where they can create their own structures and contraptions out of textured cubes.

There are two main modes within the game; ‘survival’ and ‘creative’. I had told him that he is only allowed to play in creative play mode and somehow he managed to create his survival world too. A sign of parenting failure! Now Mr K is obsessed with Minecraft and watches YouTube tutorials to get tips to create and build his own world.

He has built 4 worlds and explained to me how he built his house with underground tunnels and how he sheared the sheep for wool.
