See If You Can Get 1-Up

How fast can your eyes go?

In the flash, fast paced game 1-Up, you see 3 small boxes on the screen and you have to find the little mushroom hidden under one of them. The game starts with the 3 small 3-D boxes and an arrow pointing to one of them (where the mushroom is hiding behind). All 3 boxes are identical of course. Each round gets faster. So the first round is relatively easy. Also, each round seems to last a little longer (I am not sure if in reality this is the case or it just seems so because it gets harder.)

Why I like to play 1-Up

I found 1-Up to be a lot of fun. The game is a real test for how good your eyes are at following things around the screen. What I learnt was that by having (or developing) a skill for this kind of game, you will probably be good at other games that require good eye focus, which are a lot of online flash games. I personally really enjoyed it as it became increasingly challenging but did not require me to think, just focus. I like the games that I can just use natural skills for, rather than sit back and think, but that is just a personal thing. Also, I found that the more that I focused on the game (and that comes with practice), the more I wanted to focus on it. And the more you do that, the faster you start thinking and the more exciting the game becomes!

Play Fantasy in Dress Up A Sweet Couple

Dress Up This Sweet Couple

If you have ever enjoyed dress up - whether on you or some unsuspecting cousins - then you will love Dress Up a Sweet Couple. No matter what age you are, there is always something enjoyable to be gotten out of dressing someone up. Usually it is the female gender who enjoys such activities, but sometimes men can benefit from it too. For me, Dress Up a Sweet Couple reminded me of when I was younger and used to dress up my Barbie doll. But somehow on line it is even more fun.

How Dress Up a Sweet Couple Works

You get a picture of a very cute couple (no need to worry; they are covered up to some extent, more than just undies), and you get a whole load of clothes, accessories, hair pieces, etc. with which to dress them up. Actually, there is no real point to the game, but for me it was (and still is) a lot of fun.

Benefits of Dress Up a Sweet Couple

You can play it for hours on end as there are a lot of different clothes to use. I think that the game is especially good for the younger, more youthful generation. They get to play dress up which is a wonderful way of using their imagination and expressing themselves without taking any risks. If you are unsure of what to wear or how a certain style will make you feel in public, it is a fun way to try it out. But bear in mind that the model in Dress up a Sweet Couple is of course particularly thin and svelte (like most models) and the guy seems to have the perfect body too. The game could be problematic in the same way that today's magazines and TV actors and actresses are - giving a false sense to young men and women of how they want to look which could lower their self esteem and make them feel like they are not good enough.
