A good computer game with educational value must also score high in the artistic and creative categories. Before recommending such games to any of my grandkids, I play through each game. That's not a chore for me as I love interactive games, enjoy a good story told with imagination and verve, and appreciate colorful graphics done with a unique and creative style. Such is Blueberry Garden, a simple ecosystem with you as its caretaker. Your job, take care of it.
Long before the James Cameron's movie, gamers coined the name "avatar" for the character you control in an interactive computer game. Your avatar in Blueberry Garden is a birdman. Birdman can walk, jump, eat, and most importantly, fly!
After playing for twenty to thirty minutes you discover that Blueberry Garden is filling with water. Your first major challenge is to find the source of the water and turn it off. You roam the garden collecting various items that you stack on a platform above the only door in the garden. Enter the door and you are transported to the top of the stack from where you can access and explore the upper levels of the garden.
A variety of fruit can be found in the garden. Eating each type of fruit increases your powers in a different way. For example, eat a blueberry and fly higher.

Grandmothermath and I have established STEAM accounts for each set of grandkids. Doing so allows us to purchase games and add them directly to each account. We share the username and password for each account with mom and dad so they can also add games to the kid's accounts.
Other games I have reviewed that are available on STEAM are:
Machinarium (November 2009)
Full Pipe (August 2009)
Amazing Adventures - The Lost Tomb (June 2009)
Crayon Physics (April 2009)
Samorost 2 (Educational Computer Games April 2009)
cannabliss CBD oil is an extract from the Marijuana plant that helps heal by changing person receptor sites. To make it so that a person doesn’t get the “high” feeling there is less than 1% of THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol in the CBD or Hemp Oil, Gummies or Capsules that one would take to relieve stress, pain, anxiety or sleep disorders. When it changes the receptor sites in your cells it allows your body to feel less on edge and slows down the electrical storm of neurons that are firing causing pain, stress and other problems in the frontal lobe of your brain.
