Wii Games - Bloom Blox


A few weeks ago, in class, we played the Wii game Bloom Blox. Bloom Blox is not just any video game, it's a fun and educational game that exercises one's problem solving strategies. This game was created by Steven Spielberg. This honorable man created this game because he wanted a fun and useful game for his kids. We learned that he didn't like what was available for his children for the Wii so he created his own game.


Playing Bloom Blox is not a challenge - except for when you have to solve the problems. What you have to do is throw something to knock down all the blocks in the fewest amount of throws. Sound easy? Not really. Some blocks that you hit will be helpful and they might blowout the entire field of blocks. Others, however, might not do anything for a few throws only to end up wasting your throws. In addition, some blocks might be unbreakable by themselves. You might have to break them by breaking other blocks that might end up breaking the unbreakable. In other cases, you might only have two throws to destroy the whole field of blocks.


In conclusion, I really liked Bloom Blox. It was challenging yet fun. I really want to buy it for my Wii too! All I know is that Bloom Blox is definitely going on my Christmas Wish List! =D
