Blogs I will look at.

Here's three blogs that I think could help me with our game:

http://ducknetweb.blogspot.com/2008/08/hand-sanitizers-good-for-preventing.html

http://preventdisease.com/news/09/082709_incrementalism.shtml

I choose these blogs because they all have to do with keeping you healthy and avoiding diseases. Information in these blogs could be put into my game if they are facts.

Game reviews

I played a few games during the past couple days. I reviewed two of them on my wiki page.
The first game, Medical Mysteries, I actually enjoyed. It had several mini games in the main game. It was made to teach about how to fight and prevent diseases. It even had a "Frogger" spoof! It's worth playing.

I also played a really boring easy game called "Super Toaster". The gameplay was terrible and I think a two year old could beat it. Plus, you play as a tree. Just a random tree. You never play as the toaster, which was odd. The game tries to teach about the "dangers" of global warming, but it fails. I didn't learn anything useful from this game. I'd rant more about how bad this game is, but it's not really worth my time.
