The Best Fairy Games For Girls

It is no surprise that little girls are absolutely crazy about fairy games. It is really tough to find a little girl that does not enjoy almost anything to do with fairies. This is what makes it such an easy choice to play fairy games at any kind of together for young girls. There are many fairy games to choose from, but it makes sense to play the most popular ones. Here are the best fairy games for girls.
Pin the Wings on the Fairy

This game is a fanciful take on the tradition Pin the Tail on the Donkey party game. Draw a fairy on a large piece of cardboard, poster board or butcher paper. It will obviously need to be a rear view of the fairy, since the girls will be trying to pin the fairy wings on it. The fairy wings should be covered in glitter. Remember that glitter is the fairy dust that puts the wonder in fairy games for girls. Use double-sided tape, or fold masking tape in on itself. Blindfold the girls with a very fairy-like scarf and spin them around three times before letting the try to pin the wings on the fairy.

Fairy Treasure Hunt
This game is always a big hit at parties for girls. The parent hides clues all over the house for the girls to find. Each clue takes the girls one step closer to a fairy treasure chest. The clues are the most fun if they require the girls to solve a riddle or answer a question. Try to keep the number of clues under ten in order to ensure that the girls don't get bored before they get their reward. The fairy treasure chest should be loaded up with all sorts of fairy dress-up gear. Lots of fairy wings, wands, flowers and glitter should be included. It is also a good idea to put some kind of sweet treat in the fairy treasure chest.
Fairy Telephone Game

This is the fairy version of the popular children's game of Telephone. The girls sit in a circle and the birthday girl or a parent whispers a secret message about fairies to another girl. The girls all whisper the message to the next girl, and by the time the message goes all the way around the circle it has been completely transformed. The result is usually something hilarious.

Fairy Dress Up Dash
Each girl gets a pile of fairy dress up clothes. Each girl races to see who can put all the dress up clothes on the quickest. This game can be played in two teams or individually. The winning girl or team should receive a plate of fairy cookies.

JXD S7100 combines 7-inch Android tablet and gaming console into one, sells for $139.99

Ever wanted a 7-inch Android tablet that also had gaming keys on the side? Then JXD has just the thing for you. Although the company usually spends its time making PSP clones, this time they have gone ahead and made something original. Oh, wait. Never mind.

The device has a 7-inch display with a rather unimpressive 800 x 480 resolution. What is impressive, however, is the processor it runs on. The S7100 has the same dual-core Cortex A9 with Mali-400 GPU found under the hood of Samsung’s Galaxy S II.

Other specs include 512MB of RAM, 16GB internal memory, Wi-Fi and HDMI out. The device runs on the outdated Android 2.2 Froyo and has a claimed battery life of 4 hours of web browsing and 10 hours for music playback.

The controls on the side work only if you install ROMs of classic games but for titles found on the Android Market you will have to rely on the touchscreen. If you look at the interface you will notice that JXD has blatantly ripped off the icons from iOS. They even go as far as using names like Game Center to describe their apps. Even their website looks like a rip-off of Apple’s website. All of this makes their slogan “We are different…” all that much more hilarious.

If you’re interested then you would be delighted to know that it costs only $139.99. It may not be a PS Vita but what other device lets you play Angry Birds, Super Mario and Street Fighter?

Gametel Portable Games Controller for Android aims to bring greater feel to your mobile gaming [REVIEW]

We caught wind of Fructel’s Bluetooth games controller not long ago, designed to give any Android device a little more gaming freedom with its dedicated gaming controls.

Well, now we’ve actually had the chance to take the Gametel games controller for a spin so we can really tell you what it’s all about.

The controller itself is a mix of textured and smooth plastics with a few white graphics on the D-pad and four primary buttons. The whole thing is small enough to comfortably fit in your pocket when fully packed down and it’s light so you won’t notice it when you’re not using it.

The spring loaded clamp on the top allows you to drop in your droid of choice and you’re then ready to fire it up. The start button doubles as the on/off switch and once it’s powered up, the rest of the set up is droid-side, no rocket science here.

Fructel have already created a driver app on the Android Market, which not only allows you to choose your Gametel controller as the preferred input method for your device, an option you will have to switch to and from when you switch to something like your on-screen keyboard, but also shows a list of compatible titles (currently a shortlist of 50 and growing).

So we’ve mounted our device, connected it via Bluetooth using the Gametel app and installed a game that’s fit for purpose, now the fun can begin:

Asphalt 5 HD was our initial guinea pig and the Gametel certainly wowed with its responsiveness. There were no issues with latency or connectivity and it undoubtedly made for a more enjoyable experience than using on-screen controls. Trial Xtreme was the second title (demoed above) and again, the experience was smooth and seamless.

Being a Bluetooth peripheral, the Gametel doesn’t have to be attached to the device and in truth, the bracket won’t allow for much past perhaps a 4? display anyway, but as such, range is safely useable up to around 10 meters, which is decent to say the least.

Depending on the game in play, you can even use four separate Gametels for local multiplayer gaming, which is a welcome feature and actually quite a powerful tool in the Gametel’s repertoire.

It won’t quite equal the likes of the Xperia PLAY in terms of usability, but it does make mobile gaming a viable option for a host more Android devices out there, that otherwise, probably wouldn’t be seeing much action past Angry Birds. Size and weight are minimal, battery life is an impressive 9 hours and it does its job well.

For those of you wanting to enhance your mobile gaming experience, without locking yourself into the Xperia PLAY or forking out the extra cash for a Nintendo 3DS or PS Vita, the Gametel offers a low cost alternative (it retails for £50 on Amazon UK) that might just be right for you, and if you get bored for the day, it’s not stuck on your device for good.
