The Sony makers were proud to anounce on March 7, 2011 that they have the next generation of technology for hand-held devices. They have a multi-touch rear pad,motion sensor,3g and WI-FI. This game is like a hand-held play station this thing also has a GPS can't get better than that. They don't know when they will offically release them into the stores yet. The PSP has compettition though with the new Nintendo now being 3-D. I will wait and see maybe try it out. If they have and electronic convetion maybe we test how good this so called (game of the future) really is.

There was game called math lines. And you had to pick a nuber and find the factor of that numer. There are numbers moving on a line and and thet are moving toward a hole if a number reaches a hole it's game over. Well lets say the numger is 12 and the next number in the canon was 6 try to find a 6 on the number line if you see it shoot at it. Now it equals 12. Take a lot of strategy though.

Crayon Physics
So crayon physics is just basically you making a up the game as you go. It is vry similar to the game mouse trap. I think it's unique because the pad you play it on doesn't require you to use your fingers. Anyways It take serious thinking to figure out this game. There is this little rock and you have to make it touch the star to get to the next level. Here's a link to see it for yourself.
