Boom Blox Ruins of Old and Rampart Ruin Tutorial Gameplay

With Boom Blox Ruins you are able to combine the power of Boom Blox as well as Chemical Blox so that you can topple some ancient ruins. Ruins of Old is a game does look interesting from the start but I am not sure if it will stay that way after playing it for an hour or so. The game has got some great reviews, but that might be because Steven Spilberg has put his weight behind the game. Still not sure how entertaining it is to keep blowing things up. Rampart Ruin is a game where you have to create chemical chain reactions sounds a little more interesting, you have to do this so you can harvest Gems from a few towers at once.

This is certainly a game that will be great while playing drunk. What I have trouble understanding is what Steven Spielberg could have contributed to the game, ok we know that he is one of the greatest movie directors ever, but what can he bring to a game.

For those of you who do not understand the concept behind Boom Box, then the best way for you to learn is by watching a tutorial all about the game. Althought how could someone find it hard just to press A, what do you do? Press ok, cool now I know, it’s as simple as that.
