House M.D.: Critical Cases! Facebook Game Review #CleverMD

I love playing computer games when I have a free moment to spare. I usually tend towards word games and puzzle games. Since I'm on Facebook pretty much anytime I am online, many of the games I play are also on Facebook. There is a new Facebook game in town and I had to share it with you since it involves one of my favorite shows on tv. House M.D.: Critical Cases! has arrived on the scene and is so much fun!

About House M.D.: Critical Cases!
If you love the show House, then you know how interesting their medical cases are in each episode. In House M.D.:Critical Cases, you join House's team to help solve medical mysteries through deduction and testing. As each case progresses, you go to the board, talk with the other doctors, perform tests and hopefully come to the correct conclusion! Will you save a life or is it too late?

My Thoughts
I couldn't wait to give this game a try! Getting started was easy and I started my first critical case very quickly. It was about a man who passed out while kissing his girlfriend! He arrived at the hospital and was ready to be diagnosed, so the testing began. At first, we spoke with the girlfriend to help find clues.
 At first we couldn't come up with a diagnosis and nothing else had happened, so he was going to be released. However, then he flatlined...
I had to resuscitate him before he died! This part was very exciting because I had no idea what was going to happen. Luckily, he made it through and I, of course, was scolded by Dr. House... just like in the show!
As the case progressed, I could visit new parts of the hospital like the imaging room and a lab. The farther you go into the game, the more you can do!

So, did we solve the case? Thankfully, yes! As it turns out, he had overdosed on amphetamines. Once you solve the case, you are rewarded and can move on to the next case! I learned that you have to watch your energy level during the game or you will have to take a break. This can actually effect the health of the patient, so that was very important.
House M.D.: Critical Cases! is a fun Facebook game and definitely worth checking out, especially if you enjoy the show. Even if you only have a few minutes to spare, it takes maybe 10 minutes to solve a case, so you aren't sitting in front of the computer for an hour like when you watch the show.

Have you played the game yet? If not, take a look at the game, play it and let me know what you think! You can also add your friends on as colleagues! Grow your team and add your friends for even more fun. My cousin just joined the game and added me as a colleague.

A Better World Entertaining & Educational Facebook Game For Children & Adults

I love playing games on my computer and have been known to obsess over a few of them until reach the final level. My newest love is of all the Facebook games! I was excited to find out about A Better World, a Facebook game that encourages love, kindness, and gratitude!

Here's a little about it:

A Better World, created by ToonUps, is a Facebook game that rewards players not just for in-game activities but also for real world acts of kindness and expressions of gratitude, has soared to more than 120,000 players. Gameplay activities are designed to help everyone who participates feel better about themselves, be supportive of others and make positive choices in their everyday lives.  Players also can play mini games with inspirational themes; personalize their own characters and spaces in the game and play with and care for virtual pets.


My Thoughts

I was immediately excited to see how much there is to see and do while exploring A Better World, which made it fun to navigate and find new areas, friends, and even go shopping! All you do to get started is create your character and you are ready to go! You are then taken to your home and given directions on how to begin playing. Each begins with a new set of tasks to complete and, as you complete the tasks, you earn more "good gold". You can use "good gold" to purchase items like clothing, pets, house decorations, hair-dos and much more. When you walk around, you will encounter many friends and can not only visit their houses, but leave them gifts behind. There are so many people playing A Better World that I actually ran across some of my real-life friends and co-bloggers. I left a friend a necklace and was actually rewarded with "good gold"!

There are over 15 places to explore and there are many more being added in the future! Here are some of the first places I discovered and visited:

  • Department of Do Good – Take the time to share your good deals and see what other members have done, too! You can even support them for their deeds by giving a thumbs up! I realized this is also a great way to earn "good gold".
Visiting the Department of Do Good
  • Gratitude Grotto – An area where you leave messages of gratitude behind and can read/support messages left by others! I love reading everyone's messages.

  • Sanctuary of Hope – A building where you can communicate your hopes & dreams and send encouragement to other players. This, too, is fun to read. You never know what you'll come across and you can also light a candle in support.
You can light candles in support of other people's messages of hope & write your own messages!
  • Positive Post- Where you can leave nice, positive messages for your friends and follow game members and also receive mail!  I wish someone would send me some mail!

    There are so many places to visit, I've really only began to scratch the surface. I'm so amazed at how many people are always playing and walking around. I'm still a newbie and look forward to all of the new lists of assignments and upcoming fun additions to the game. I'm a big fan of the arcade room and have been playing games like crazy. Like I mentioned, it's so fun to see several of my Facebook friends already playing the game, which makes it more fun for me since I can leave them messages, help them with their gardens, visit their homes, and much more! 
    I am a huge fan of this game and, unlike most games on the market these days, I would have no issues with my children playing this one. It teaches kindness, compassion, and gratitude. What more can you really ask from a game? There really isn't anything negative I can say at all about this game. It's entertaining, easy to figure out, and has an amazing message for everyone to take away. It keeps a smile on my face all day after playing, especially when someone else I don't even know chooses to do something nice for me! Take a moment to check out this game and I bet you'll be hooked, too!Click here to start!
