Daily Dare Day 30

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Crisis Courier. To beat AAA you need a score of 3,500 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 200 points. This game is too frustrating for me, so I just beat Abigail today.

Here is the my prize for beating Abigail:

Bag of Gold Pillow

Neopets Puzzle Adventure for Nintendo Wii

I played the Neopets Puzzle Adventure for the DS back in December 2008. The Wii game has been in my Gamefly Game Q sine then. I really enjoy the DS game and had similar expectations for the Wii game. I will admit the Wii game is pretty much the same and thus it would seem it would be enjoyable, too. However, the controls just are not all that great for a puzzle game and it seems the game really worked better as a touch screen control puzzle game and perhaps the PC version works good too with mouse control, but the pointing Wii remote controls are not very smooth working. This I could probably deal with, but that is not the only issue.

The game's graphics are also pretty crappy with the worst part being the text is mostly too small to read, which makes navigating the menus and stuff a pain. Also, it seems to very laggy throughout along with the loading screens seeming to take longer than most games.

Basically I do recommend the DS game if you like puzzle games, especially Othello, however, I do not recommend the Wii version no matter what. I gave up even trying to play it for some codes to enter on the site because it is of such poor quality. I know a lot of Wii games get a reputation as poor quality, but I have seem nothing this horrible on the Wii before.

Daily Dare Day 29

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is The Usul Suspects. To beat AAA you need a score of 500 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 40 points. I stink at this game and do not have the patience for trying to get better, so I just beat Abigail today.

Here is the my prize for beating Abigail:

Blue Usul Suspect Action Figure

Daily Dare Day 28

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Ice Cream Machine. To beat AAA you need a score of 8,000 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 500 points. I am pretty good at this game, so I was able to beat AAA again. The code strawberryvanillachocolate gives you an extra life and might help you last longer to get a good enough score.

Here is the my prize for beating AAA:

Ice Cream Machine Background

Daily Dare Day 27: Double Dare Day

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Hassee Bounce. To beat AAA you need a score of 175 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 30 points. Today is another Double Dare Day, I think the last one for this year. I was easily able to beat AAA at this game because I tend to get at least 200 at this game. By the way the code doughnutfruit really helps, as it fills up the time back to full once, so use it right before you run out the first time. The extra time is really the key to scoring at least 175 pretty much every time.

Here is the my prize for beating AAA as Double Dare:

Doughnut Fruit Table

Doughnut Fruit Hand Mirror

New Game: Barf Boat

Neopets latest game has been released. The newest game is called Barf Boat. It is basically a balance game kind of like the Penguin game on Wii Fit. You try to keep the boat level to keep the petpets from falling off. It is pretty darn hard. More petpets come if you last long enough, but do not worry if some fall off, as the game continues as long as you keep one on board. There really is not that much of a disgusting aspect like the name suggests except that when you do get game over the Captain barfs to the front of the screen with the words Game Over. The ship does rock back and forth as you balance it, so I guess it could perhaps be a bad game for those with motion sensitivity issues. Overall I think it is not too bad of a game, but it can get frustrating to have the patience to get the hang of how to balance it to keep the petpets from falling off right away.

Daily Dare Day 26

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Dubloon Disaster. To beat AAA you need a score of 1,000 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 40 points. It took me a few tries including an annoying 975 first try, but I was able to beat AAA today.

Here is the my prize for beating AAA:

Silver Dubloon Necklace

Daily Dare Day 25

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Petpet Plunge. To beat AAA you need a score of 550 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 70 points. I have not really played this game much since it is new and did not really appeal to me when I first tried it. Thus my high score was only in the 200s, but I decided to at least give it a chance to see if I could get better with some practice. I did eventually get a good enough score to beat AAA, so I am glad I kept trying, especially since the prize is so cool.

Here is the my prize for beating AAA:

Bubble Chair

Better Than You: Biscuit Brigade Hagan's Last Stand

This week's Better Than You features King Hagan. Below is her challenge statement.

"My troublesome brother is up to his antics again, it seems. Won't he ever grow up? I don't have time for his shenanigans today. Would you mind taking care of his intrusion for me?"

To beat him you must get 6,900 points in Biscuit Brigade Hagan's Last Stand.

Prize is Biscuit Chair for the 500 winners. Additionally, you get a Gold Trophy and 20,000 Neopoints if you are the first 10, Silver Trophy and 10,000 Neopoints if you are between the 11th and 50th, and a Bronze Trophy and 3,000 Neopoints if you are between 51st and 500th.

Good Luck to all and remember to comment and share your tips on this game to help other readers out.

Daily Dare Day 24

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Imperial Exam. To beat AAA you need a score of 700 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 100 points. I was easily able to beat AAA on this game.

Here is the my prize for beating AAA:

Dented Imperial Exam Guards Helm

Daily Dare Day 23

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Freaky Factory. To beat AAA you need a score of 900 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 50 points. I have not played this game in a while, but I noticed my high score was almost 1,000, so I spent some time trying to beat AAA. However, I could not really get any better than about 450, so I just ended up challenging Abigail today.

Here is the my prize for beating Abigail:

Grundo Thief Candies

Daily Dare Day 22

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Piper Panic. To beat AAA you need a score of 4,000 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 250 points. I can almost always beat all the levels, but beating it and being over 4,000 is not always easy. I finally figured out the trick of getting the star baskets in a row last to get the star bonus points at the end of the level and that made it easy to get over 4,000.

Here is the my prize for beating AAA:

Cobrall Belt

Daily Dare Day 21: Double Dare Day

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Sutek's Tomb. To beat AAA you need a score of 2,500 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 100 points. Today is a double dare day, so if you beat AAA as a double dare challenge you get both AAA's and Abigail's prizes. I have not played this game much, but I was able to beat AAA in one try and got my highest score so far on the game.

Here is the my prize for beating AAA in the Double Dare Challenge:

Snow Roller Item Jumper

Snow Roller Crash Jumper

Daily Dare Day 20

Today's Daily Dare Challenge is Sutek's Tomb. To beat AAA you need a score of 3,000 points and to beat Abigail you need a score of 100 points. I love this game and while I do not always get over 3,000 I did not mind taking the time to be able to beat AAA today. Some codes that might help you beat Sutek include plzsutekcanihavemoretime (gives you extra 30 seconds), scarabeus (gives extra 30 seconds), and pyramibread (this gives you a hint at a match and can be used as many times as you want).

Here is the my prize for beating AAA:

Game Guide and Review: Brain Tree Quest

My last Game Guide and Review by id number was on Nimmo's Pond. The next game going in id number order is Brain Tree Quest with an id number of 75. If you have a request for a guide on a specific Neopets game, then just comment on any of my game guide posts and I will put that on top of my list of games to review. When I do not have requests, then I will just continue going in order by id number.

Brain Tree Quest

Brain Tree Quest does not really seem like much of a game, but it does appear under a game id page and it is a high score game. To do the Brain Tree Quest you start by going to the Brain Tree in the Haunted Woods area of Neopia. Once you accept the quest from the Brain Tree you have a certain amount of time to find the where and when of the death of some made up character. The answers always vary, so do not thin you can just get the answers by others having done it before. To get the answers you must do Esophagor quests. You have to do two quests to get the two answers (where and when).

The Esophagor asks for different spooky foods. Sometimes they are expensive, while other times the items are cheap. Often it is not worth buying the expensive stuff, as the rewards are not usually that big. For example, in research for this post I spent 70,000 on dong Esophagor's quests, but the Brain Tree Quest only gave me 2,021 Neopoints and an item worth only about 200 Neopoints.

Overall I find the Brain Tree Quest a waste of time. For one, the Esophagor quests are often expensive. Also, sometimes the first Esophagro quest will be cheap, but then the second one might be outrageous. Pretty much seems that it can only be worth it if you spend less than 2,000 on items.
