Few aspects of game development have been in forefront last decade, namely graphics, audio, advertising. Increases in budgets (and revenue) have brought more of the same at higher quality and quantity. What iPhone and Wii have brought to world of games is ability to be creative again, and again, and again… Wii with its motion sensing technology and iPhone with its touch and sensing technologies have allowed creation of new generation of interesting and fun games. So as result we have one of these interesting games and very fun games: Flood-it.
It is definitely game that I consider to be in fun range of old classics such as Tetris and Pac-Man. The game itself is fairly simple and addictive. The game is played in rectangle that is divided in colored squares (6 different colors). The goal of the game is to color a whole rectangle in a same color. How do you accomplish this? You start with one colored square in top right corner. To increase size of colored area you press the colored balls located on the bottom of the screen. Depending what color of the balls you press the already colored area will change to that color and add all neighboring squares of that color to that area. Sounds a bit confusing? Well, you really have to see it and you will understand that concept of game play is very simple. While it is simple to play it is not so easy. It requires a whole a lot of thinking especially if board you are playing is complex. Well, I’ll stop right here…. Go and Play it! And you will see why this particular game made it to “ILike” it list….
Features I like:
- It is addictive
- It is simple to learn
- There are options to play several different levels (Small, medium, large board)

However there is no driver for MAC for it (so all the funky Dolby Surround things are not working on MAC while they work on Windows0. I am still happy with the Microphone since it is nice to wear (it is nice on the ears, i.e. does not push to much on them so you can wear it for extended period of time; sound isolation is not to great but it is gamers microphone so I do not think they paid much attention to it).
