March Of The Penguins

1. I think they have to over come the walking to mate, like that is far to walk to mate 70 miles is far. I think they need to also overcome the weather because they carry the egg and they could die and kill the egg to.


2. The challenges they have are food they have to go like 4 months with out food that is crazy. The predators are also another challenge for them because when they get food they can get eating by their predator. 


3. They can get together and all huddle to get warmth, and they can all team up against the predator so they can in a way jump him and fight back and he just might swim away.


4. There is a period of time where there is no light because the earth is tilted and orbits around the sun.


5. It has to be a thick layer of ice because if not the baby penguins could possibly fall in the freezing water.


6. It  can negatively mess up the whole process of mating and making baby's because it can be too cold for the baby or something.

Game Review

What did you learn from your choice of games and genres to review?
I learned a lot from some of these games, actually helped u learn about things while others just want u to have fun and play the game.
Name any game features that stood out to you, either because they were interesting or because they could be improved.
The game that stood out to me was the one where its actually how life it is and how money is tight now and stuff like that.
Write down any questions you have about the game or genre you chose. You might answer them yourself later!
Who made the game? Can anyone win the game?

Playing To Learn Genre: Maze Games

I was playing some games that are like mazes they make u think a lot its very hard. I don't think i would lose but it takes a while to bet some of them. A long time ago i played a scary maze game and it made me look close to the screen because it had small spots i had to drag the ball through and i kept losing so I got mad. I got close to the screen and won but it scared me with a scary picture. Mazes are fun they are like brain teasers that's why i like them.

Playing To Learn Genre: Adventure

They adventure games were okay I played a couple games. Sally's energy ride was not really a lot of action just dragging and dropping things. The other game i played was Synchronized Saviors and it was fun it had a lot of flash movement and stuff like that. It had a loading page where it loaded up and it was cool he had a little box that moves. You pick up trash with the box and all that its cool it help me learn not to liter.

Playing To Learn Genre: Action

We played games off of playing to learn. I played the gravity game and I got far but it was hard at some points. I played a lot of games also survivor and that was hard but I beat I. I didn't know what the point of that game was but I played it.
