Ok.... not sure why the first proper blog I decide to post is about Sparkle HD....
for those of you not familiar with it : Click Here!
There are many games like this which have created a rotary gem busting genre that has the most cynical non gamer coming back for more. The first I can remember was Zuma by PopCap games.
I first came across Sparkle HD when a neighbours wife was encouraging my fortunate other to download it for her iPad as she was yet to find a game she really clicked with. After downloading it and insisting Mrs Incognito teach herself how to play it rather than me show her, (and in doing so demonstrating my gaming prowess), she was hooked.
Sparkle HD has a good pace for a game of its kind and a fantastic learning curve. The range of power-ups is satisfying and all are useful. A nice twist is the ability to change your amulets and swing the balance of processional encroachment for the better.
It gets compared to Luxor for the iPad which is a similar game but the projectiles are launched from a base platform rather than the centre as in Zuma and Sparkle HD. I have to say out the three Sparkle HD makes it for me and has a great story mode and replay ability.... Mrs I is on 4th play through!

Gaming ..... An Intro
So as this is my first post I suspect it will be a little lame, and I intend to use it mainly as a way to find my way around the blog designer and to get comfortable with the UI....
Gaming has always been a passion of mine since the days of the Spectrum Rubber keys and tape loading lovelies... ah the joy of waiting 20 mins for Desert Island Dizzy!! I have played and owned pretty much every console produced and have settled with an Xbox360 as my console of choice and an iMac i3 for my chosen gaming rig. (yes yes I know it is not an ideal gaming rig... and Who plays Games on a Mac??.... well I do!)
My life in Gaming has had many addictions and loves and I will discuss these over times individually, mainly driven by Blizzard's ability to make stinking great games, the likes of World of Warcraft, Diablo, Diablo 2, Starcraft 2 have filled my nights and passed many days. I have dabbled with driving games on and off and have a respectable 24,000 gamer points on my X Box gamer tag.
I will leave it there but I will be providing commentary on all the above and more and rather that providing a review of games I will provide an overview of my experience playing and some of the issues I found and fun I had.
Ciao!
