\"Outofwater\"I\u2019m about as hardcore as it gets when it comes to gaming.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve competed in tournaments. It was, for a while, my job to be good at video games. (Last night\u2019s game of League of Legends<\/a> had me with 20 kills and two deaths with Rengar<\/a>). However, I do realize that not everyone takes gaming so seriously.<\/p>\n

Some people do just enjoy a game that eats up time and makes them giggle or make the success baby face<\/a> on the train ride home from work. So I\u2019m going to make a valiant effort to include some more casual reviews and grab some solid titles for an audience that I may not necessarily belong to.<\/p>\n

\"I
I haven\u2019t seen a fish this happy since Finding Nemo.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Today\u2019s review is all about skipping fish. Like rocks. Now I\u2019m going to admit I honestly enjoyed playing this game, though, for those who read my reviews for solid games that require hours of play, move along. That\u2019s not to say that this game isn\u2019t solid, because it very much is \u2013 just not in the way I generally talk about. The graphics are fantastic, and it plays off a very old genre of games, though I\u2019m not sure it has an official title. You know the one. You throw or kick, or fling something a long distance, and it bounces a good 20 times, and you try and get the best distance. That\u2019s what you have here. Except it\u2019s fish. And you can skip them on water for points (this is where I expect you should have a very bored facial expression).<\/p>\n

\"You
You know what Red Crab, I\u2019m hungry, and you\u2019re gonna be the one I pick out of the tank.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I sighed to myself as I started Fish Out of Water<\/a> up the first time, but then realized the clock kept spinning and I managed to sink a good 45 minutes into this one before the need for sleep rudely knocked me over the head (of course in the morning I pretty much had this<\/a> reaction to it being time to wake up). So you get six different kinds of fish and each of them bounces on the water a bit differently, (including one that doesn\u2019t bounce on the water and just goes under and back out.) You get to throw three of these fish, and you are graded on your total distance, number of skips against the water and other factors, and you are rated by \u2026 six crabs that each look at something different when giving you a score.<\/p>\n
