Ben 10 Blockade Blitz

It's easy to make a quick judgment of a game for many reasons, but sometimes you really just have to take a moment to play the game and enjoy it in all its possibilities. It is even easier to make these fast judgments when it comes to games based on famous licenses like those from Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon. And that only gets worse when the game is released on consoles, but it starts as a web-based game on its own site. The game we're talking about belongs to these categories, and the title is Ben 10 Blockade Blitz. So, what is this game all about? Well, let's talk about it!

About the game

The plot in this game is pretty simple, especially if you know the show already, but still, we're here to talk about this game. You control a little Ben Tennyson, and he has superpowers that allow him to transform into different aliens thanks to his alien watch that came from space. This time he must use his powers to stop the evil alien overlord Vilgax from taking over the planet. But this time things get a bit more tricky, he's actually been captured by Vilgax, and his Omnitrix watch has been taken away. Now he must find a way to make it out and save the world at the same time.

The gameplay of this title is quite simple and straightforward, but then again, that's where part of its charm comes into play. And it is that this game is based heavily on the popular Brick Breaker mechanics. As you progress through the game you'll find different Omnitrix spheres that will allow Ben to turn into his special aliens.

Turning into aliens is a key part of the game, and you'll need to learn to master their abilities if you want to win. Every alien has their own set of special powers that it can use to affect the ball and destroy more bricks. But be careful, you can only fail so many times before it is game over for Ben and for the world for that matter.

Gameplay proven to work

There is really no need to reinvent the wheel, and when it comes to simple games, it's best to keep them simple. The mechanics behind this game date all the way back to 1976, when Atari released Breakout, the first-ever video game that used this mechanic. And while the graphics may differ from one game to another, the core of the game remains the same. Simple, fun, addictive, and very well executed.

Something worth noting and that many people don't notice about these kinds of games is that they actually began as a way to make Pong into a single-player game without needing a CPU adversary. It's a pretty efficient way to handle making a single-player game out of the concept of the first video game ever made.

Pros:

• Fun and addictive gameplay
