App Review: Plague Inc.

Plague Inc. is a strategy game for iOS and Android in which you attempt to infect a plague across the world, there are 3 difficulty modes: Causal, Normal and Brutal. You can evolve your plague by improving how dangerous the symptoms are, the different forms of transmission and the abilities of the plague, this is done with DNA points, acquired when pop red and orange DNA bubbles. You must also stop the cure before they eliminate your plague, you can make your plague genetically hardened and drug resistant in the Abilities section to prevent the speed of global cure rate and by popping blue cure bubbles. They are different types of plagues, some easier than others as they infect differently and have different weaknesses. Humorously you can name your plague anything (I called mine Cyrus and Bieber as I treat them as musical plagues!). You begin in a chosen country, some easier than others dependant on real-life population, wealth and climate. Also there are several in-app purchases to upgrade your playing experience.

Tips: Begin in China as it is the most populous country and eliminates the most of the world.
Begin with simple evolution, then more complex.

Happy infecting ! (• ◡•) (❍ᴥ❍ʋ) (﹡︠﹏ु﹡︡)

2048 Review

2048 is a really fun app that you can download on many devices. It is a game where you have to double numbers in a 4 by 4 square until you reach 2048, but the numbers all move when you swipe one way, making it very difficult but adding to the addictiveness of the game. It is very fun and you will definitely waste many hours a day trying to reach 2048 or trying to at least beat a friend or a family member. The game is good for maths and strategic/puzzle skills.

Happy doubling! Jacob Farrington :)
