Okay okay, maybe it’s not the best, and maybe you have actually played it, I don’t know. All I know is that it’s awesome. Awesome sound, awesome graphics, and it even has giraffes! The game Savanna Blocks by ClocKworK MonSteR is an addictive Match-three, or should I call it a Match-2, you should see why below. Okay so I was exaggerating a bit. The sound isn’t awesome, and neither are the graphics, but one thing I didn’t exaggerate about was the giraffes, and umm panthers, and stuff. It has the word Savanna in it after all. I’m sure you’ve heard me say many times before that Match-threes are a dime-a-dozen, and me saying that phrase are a dime-a-dozen too. So where are my dimes? I have no problem reviewing the match-three type games just as long as they are fun to me and this is. I’ve decided not to quote Wikipedia this time because well all I would be quoting is what a savanna is and that really doesn’t have much to do with this game other than the theme. In fact I still don’t know what a savanna is, but I’m thinking some sort of grass lands in Africa. In any case forget the word Savanna, let’s just focus on the word Blocks. Let’s face it, when you see the word blocks you almost know for sure what type of game it is, match-3, Breakout, Tetris or something. So essentially this is a block removal game, and they should have called it “Yet another block removal game but this time with another twist”.
Okay so what I think of the game, it’s addictive. Oh hokey smokes how it’s addictive! You’ll love it, your children will love it, your pets will love it. Even your pets children will love it. Even your children’s grand-children’s pets children’s pet’s will love it. Got it? Good. No the graphics aren’t so great. No the sound isn’t that special. Well the music is a little unique and funny but we’ll get to that in a bit.
Okay so the subject today, students, is cats. No not the musical. I do not understand why anyone would want to watch people prance around in cat costumes. Although maybe watching yummy women in cat costumes… er… never mind. According to Wikipedia, until recently cats were commonly believed to have been domesticated in ancient Egypt. But a study in 2007 showed that cat lines of descent probably run through as few as five self-domesticating African Wildcats. I mean, like wow. Cats making them selves choose fancy feast over Meow Mix? Buying themselves litter boxes and using them, and using words like “indeed” and “so forth”, and so forth. Amazing. What’s even more amazing is a cat’s ability to render a human harmless by simply sitting there looking cute. You know such famous tough guys as Wolverine, Jack Bauer, and John Wayne have been disarmed by little fuzzy bundles of claws playing with balls of yarn or tripping out on catnip! Okay so I made the catnip part up! Who’s to know for sure. I even have a theory of why there are so-called “Cat Ladies” in existence.
