DriveBlox Unlimited Game Review


Summary:
DriveBlox Unlimited is a original racing gamed that combines a free roam driving envirorment within a tycoon game. In this game, you start out with 1 of 4 starter cars. And over time while driving you can buy better cars with the money you recieve. (You can also get a house as well)
Pros:
*Wide variety of cars, ranging from exotic sports cars to normal American cars
*Open envirorment (More terrain is still being worked on)
*Race track: The airport near the spawn is a perfectly set up drag strip race track, and it even has a offical race track near it!
*Very good for rping
*Houses: Buying a house not only gives you a place for rp and your car, but earns you revenue ($$$) overtime
Cons:
*Only 1 car has the Nitrox feature
Rating:
10/10

New physics coming our way!

I'm proud to announce that relatively soon Roblox will be bringing out some new additions to the games physics engine. 


In a video by Roblox; one of the co-founders of the game and chief scientist Erik Cassel showed off the new features of the engine. 


They have made some major modifications which adds a whole new level to the game. 


New features include-


Water- Animated water has been revealed. The water has 'swishing' movements on the surface, however, this isn't the big reveal. The best part of the water is that it can now 'interact' with objects. For example wood objects will float whereas heavy concrete will sink to the bottom of the deep blue sea. How great is that? 


Rope- The update will also include rope as a material which can be used. As Erick Cassel demonstrated he made a rickety bridge across a lake. When he preceded to fire a rocket at the bridge ( as you do ) the rope snapped and the bridge fell. 


Although these will be incredible additions to the game, lets hope they don't cause extra LAG. 


Overall the most exciting part for me personally will be seeing what the Roblox user community can create. I'm expecting some awesome new models and interesting games coming up.

Winter Bowler

The Winter Bowler is a LimitedU hat, and is selling for R$ 1,000.

It has been selling since 12/22/2011, and still has not been sold out yet.

Appearance: The hat itself is a re-texture of the Outrageous Builder's Club only LimitedU hat, the "Radioactive Man". What I've think they done is add snowflakes on the patches where the radioactive signs on the "Radioactive Man" where, and changed the Hue of it.

I do not recommend this hat to people who are looking for profit. As far as I'm concerned, this hat will sell below R$ 1,000. I would say about R$ 500 - R$ 800. It will maybe take 2-3 weeks to get all sold out.

Overall, this hat is not very good in terms of it's selling price and time being sold.

Breaking news: Roblox Opposes SOPA

In a blog post today Roblox officially announced that it opposes the SOPA act. I for one also oppose the act, despite me not being an American citizen.

In the statement Roblox gives three key reasons they are against the act and also go on to explain that they think it will hinder innovation and startup companies.

Posting in the forums- The Do's

The Roblox forums, they really are always heaving with activity and sprawled thoughts. For newcomers the forums can be a scary place. When you make a mistake people tend not to be too forgiving. I once posted something in the wrong forum accidentally and got loads of haters!

Want this to happen to you?

Of course not; here are some of the do's.

Do's:

Make sure what you're saying makes sense. This is especially important in the 'Suggestions and Ideas' forum so people understand the point you're trying to get across. Simply reading over what you have said a loud.

This ties in with using good grammar, this is important or basically your just going to get trolled, personal assaulted and hated. Getting a reputation for bad grammar on the forums isn't good. In general people won't take you and your opinions as seriously as they may have done.

Have fun. Sometimes it's nice to just have a laugh on the forums, discuss interesting ideas in the suggestions and ideas sections, talk about all things Roblox!

The future is nigh

Roblox has taken a step forward recently and is now heading into an era of new, high tech and imaginative items.  Lets take a look at one of these incredible new items! 


Here we have the Laservision Shades G3


This item looks exceedingly cool, however theres more under the skin; it also fires laser beams. 


I mean, come on, what more could you want, these are laser firing goggles, laser-firing-goggles! I think the Roblox-cortex-item hoard part of my brain just had an explosion. *Rambo103' brain error message pops up, item awesomeness overload please restart brain*


The shades look very flash when worn on a users body and would go well with a range of other hats e.g. JJ5X5's top hat.
I personally love the modern and futuristic theme of the item.
All in all, if you can, you should definitely buy these before they go off sale. Who wouldn't want to be more like this guy?

Subarctic Adventurer Review

The Subarctic Adventurer came out about a week ago, and I mst say, I'm very satisfied with the hat. I'm bummed that Roblox was stupid enough to make this hat a BC only hat but It still is nothing more than awesome. I have found out that if you combine this hat with the Deathfyre Mask it gives it a more arctic wear look to it.


Paintball [2 New Maps] Review


Probably one of the most popular war games on Roblox for a while, Paintball (by Daxter33) is alot like his Laser tag games but this time with more features added in to it. You can level up throughout the game by getting points from kills or capturing flags, and every 10 levels you get you earn a new gun type. (Such as a sniper, rifle, shotgun, etc.) You can open the gun selection menun by pressing P ingame.
Pros:
-Variety of maps and 4 different gametypes
-Features such as grenades (F) and crawling (X)
-Very fun and extremely addictive
-Easy to use controls
-Offers a new, more advanced game play that easily surpasses his older laser tag games
-Easyier to identify teamates
Cons:
-No kill streak rewards unlike his past laser tag games
-Team uniforms are a little dull, but they are helpful identifying teammates /enemies.
To sum it up, Paintball, by Daxter33 is a very fun and addictive game that is alot lot daxter's past war games. This game is definately worth playing over and over again.
Score: 10 out of 10

2012 Visor Review

The new 2012 visor is here!

Apperance, The 2012 visor looks almost exactly the same as the 2011 visor. But the colour of the 2011 Visor was degraded into a navy blue colour.

Price: All visors are 10 tix.
----------------------------------

2012 Visor ................... 2011 Visor

.........

I would recommend this hat to everyone as its one of those hats which shows you played Roblox in the year of 2012.

Desperado Hat Review

Hello everyone, today I decided to take a look at the Desperado hat which came out on the 3rd of January. 


Don't look him in the eyes, he will kill you

Well, the name Desperado brings the likes of Clint Eastwood to mind. Thats probably because he was wearing this hat in some of his 'Wild West movies'. He can be seen here wearing it in 'The good the bad and the ugly'. With this in mind I thought the overall idea of bringing this hat out was excellent; I know there are a lot of Cowboys/Cowgirls on Roblox, so surely this would be a hat to please. 


The pricing of the hat at R$75 is very reasonable, I believe this opens the hat up to people who have normal BC more and maybe some of the NBC players. 


Anyway, I bought the hat and equipped it in game to get a good look at how the hat fitted on a users head and to see what the hats textures were like. 


When I entered the game it appeared I had got more than I had bargained for, as you can see on the in-game image, part of the hat also wraps round your face, giving it a sort of 'Zorrowy' feel. 


 However I think these 'Wild west' and 'Spanish' themes come together nicely and create an all round nicely priced, good textured and cool looking hat. From me, it gets an 8/10.  


Thanks for reading,

I just love that game, no matter what people say".

What do you do most on Roblox?
"I do a lot of Retexturing. Retexturing is the task you can do to change the appearance of a hats pattern and color, to make it look new.

The Dark Slayer Review

The Dark Slayer Review:

The Dark Slayer is a new hat on the Roblox Catalog.

Was R$: 1,000

Creator: Roblox

Created : December 23, 2011
Updated: 7 hours ago, 7:16pm
now.
Favorited: 201 times
Total Sold: 500

Type: Limited U


From what I've seen The Dark Slayer is a fine hat, the texture looks average, it has nice detail, good light and

dark areas masking the hat, and can excell with double or tripple hats. But it really depends on your style.



A sample picture of me wearing The Dark Slayer:












The price was originally, R$ 1,000. The price is ok, but it takes away some of the value of the hat. It would be better if is was 500 robux. (Many people claim it as overpriced.) The hat was getting sold way too slow, and therefore when the last hat was sold there was no profit, (699-700 robux). Later on in the day it was getting sold around 1,100 to 1,200 robux.

First page of Private Sellers as of 7:32pm Mountain time:



As we can see it made tiny profit to none. The price will only change a tiny bit (8.3%) for a span of 30 days, 90 days, and 180 days with a same volume of 501.

I would not reccomend this hat to any Investors that want to make good profit.

But If you like the style of the hat and dont bother about profit really much, then you can get it.

Happy New Year 2012- Its time for another top hat!

This fun yellow sparkley top hat is a fun and playful item, you can get it now for only R$1000 which I think is pretty cheap; as far has top hats go.

When I first saw the hat I knew it would suit any Robloxian for lots of different occasions. I recommend you buy this if you have the money! I hope you all love this hat as much as I do. Get it now!

Thanks,

Empyrean Reignment II Review

Hi everyone, I wish you all a happy new year!

Its a new year and time for a new Review. Today I'm looking at the Empyrean Reignment II.

Empyrean Reignment II
When I first saw this pop up on the catalogue page I was ecstatic! I personally loved the previous version so my hopes were set high for this one. I bought the hat which is on sale for R$400 which I thought was pretty reasonable.

I equipped the hat along with a top hat expecting it to look legendary, the character loading screen was taking a while and I couldn't bare the wait. I went to one of my places to see what it looked like.

The place loaded, then the disappointment came. It didn't look anything like I expected. The top part of the crown is barely visible on the head and the wings are too close to the users body.




Overall I would say it looks alright but nowhere near as good as I hoped. I would recommend you get the previous version which is the Empyrean Reignment, this is better looking and cheaper.







Thanks for reading my Review!

Happy New Year!
