Hi everyone. I'm glad to share with you guys one of my favorite video games again, which is blur.
But before talking about the video game i would like to share with you a little benefit of playing video games.
Studies show that people who play video games may get a small boost to their reading skills. This is true even for kids who struggle with reading, and even when playing action games.
This is because people need to figure out text instructions to be able to play videogames.
More importantly, you won't be able to play your video and perfectly understand the video game without reading the instructions and the rules.

A trailer and tips video for the game on a console mentioned a feature that never made it to the final game. The feature, called "double tap", was meant to allow a player to combine several powerups of the same type for a more powerful effect, by double tapping the special power use button.
