Peggle Blast – Shooting Pegs again

Posted on Written by

I've been looking for something to play on the iPhone since completing Motorsport Manager & Xevious suggested Peggle Blast.

It's a free download with in-app purchases but I've not hit any paywalls yet. Some of the levels are tough & you will need a few attempts to get pass let alone three stars.

The screenshot to the left shows an amazing score I got on level 51, currently I'm on level 58 after being stuck on level 57 for quite a few days.

There is a health timer which controls how many times you can try a level but that does not bother me much I usually only get enough time for one attempt on a level.

Best of all is 'Ode to Joy' when completing a level.
Also thanks to Nick for the new logo on the blog.

UGVM Disc Drivin Season 5

Posted on Written by

I've sent out tweets & posted on UGVM to the players in season 4 to confirm participation.

http://www.gospvg.com/2013/05/ugvm-disc-drivin-season-4.html

There are 4 leagues (Platinum, Gold, Silver & Bronze) with the winning player getting promoted & the worst getting demoted to a lower league.

Points are awarded from 4 or 3 (if a 3 player league) for 1st downwards to 1 point for last.


The 4 chosen tracks are Jump Cut, Roundabout, Two Cool & Canyon Flip.

Changes from last season to make it easier to start the leagues, the first player in the league will start all the tracks & invite the other players in league order below.

Deadline for leagues to finish is 29th May (3 weeks), I will check with the league starter once a week to ensure the races are progressing, any player not playing their turn for a number of days will be given a kick & if no response will be excluded from the tournament.

Motorsport Manager – Introducing Reina Gorham

Posted on Written by

So my investment in the young driver program paid off with Reina Gorham. A driver with 3 x 99 stats !!

I've quickly signed her up on a 24 month contract & she went on to win the remaing three races of the season which meant I won the World Grand Prix championship with 531 points.

I have now fully upgraded the Aerodynamics,
Design & Manufacturing facilities to tackle the World Spec championship. I'm off to a good start by winning the first race.

I've played lots of football management games on iOS but it's good to finally enjoy a well made motorsport management game.



Motorsport Manager – International Racing Championship & Continental Super Cup

Posted on Written by

Managed to win both the the Tier 2 championships in the past few days & moved up to Tier 1 for the World Grand Prix Championships. It's going to take me a long while before I have a competitive enough car to challenge anywhere near the top.

Luckily I have quite a bit of cash so have invested in fully upgrading my young drivers training program to hopefully develop a race winning driver.
