What??
A 1 player RPG game where u control a fighter aircraft with missions ranging from dogfights, ground assault, escorting fleets and defending your airbase.

Is iT good??
By far the best air combat game i ve ever land my hands on. The different levels of difficulty caters to all category of skill. The graphics are awesome with no latency whatsoever. U will have career advancements with the ability to purchase state of the art jets and go up the rank. As always, the levels get more challenging and better enemy planes will be in the midst. There are even stages whereby you will be guided through landing procedures which are tricky but very much exhilarating without crashing though.

Why??

The controls are easy enough to understand and use but you do need a getting to use to especially with the vertical controls where by pressing down manuoevers the aircraft to go up n vice versa. The controls will enable you to perform moves just like you would in a real plane.

Is it bad?

If ure not a fan of fighter planes this might seem a little too much for you to handle. But as for me, its the best games i ever played as it makes me feel close to what i dreamt to be which is a pilot. So it kinda takes me into a virtual escapade from what it could be if my dreams were to come true.

10/10 ok im being biased here!

Hasbullah

This is an avatar dress up site which has become the obsession of females interested in fashion or shopping.

The site is @ http://pupe.ameba.jp .

'Poupee' actually means doll in French thus this is somehow a digitalized, more techy version of the paper doll dress up cutouts girls used to play but with wayyy more functions, capabilities and interactions.

I'd consider it a game as members/players are driven to collect enough ribbons, the currency the use, so that they are able to buy items to dress their dolls up.

And how do they get ribbons? By uploading real photos of their clothes, accessories, makeup items etc which will then be voted by other members. So ribbons will be collected from uploading pics, getting votes and selling avatar items... OR even by paying real money.

Sometimes you will find shells at random places such as the doll room and once 5 are found or bought from the marketplace, they can be thrown at the Shell Spring to get a surprise dress up item of varying values.

Poupee Town shows all the places you can visit such as clothes shops, the marketplace where real-time haggling of dress up items occur, cafe where you can see other avatars who are online at the cafe, the amusement (a game where you will control a bird to avoid contact with balloons to win items), Beauty Poupee (kinda like a plastic surgery place where the features of your doll can be modified by paying ribbons), etc.

The front page will show your poupee doll, the list of friends, favorite items, calendar and message updates.

This game allows interaction with other payers so it encourages communication and binds people with similar interests.

There is a daily cute ranking which is updated daily to show the most popular items that received the most number of votes for the day.

An item that received lots of votes.

This is the dress up contest winner for that session. The contest is held at different schedules and contestants compete for votes.

The drawback of this game is that some parts of the website are in Japanese characters and you'll just have to guess what's happening. Even some of the English they use are confusing probably due to direct translation. Some messages by users are in Japanese so you'll have to use a translator generator. However this is understandable considering the origin of the game. And you'll most probably get the hang of the system after some time.

Time for a classic!!!! Has anyone ever played this before?

Haha... I get back to this game once in a while when I'm tired of 'new' and complicated games.

SO WHAT IS ALCHEMY ALL ABOUT??

It's a simple match-and-coordinating game. It's a computer puzzle game and is web-based so it's easily accessible with internet connection.

TELL ME - WHAT'S THE OBJECTIVE?

1) You have to change fill up the board and change it from lead to gold

2) How to do this? You will need to place randomly generated symbols that will appear at your mouse's cursor on the board

3) Same colour symbols and same symbols match and can be placed side by side

So.... what makes people like me get addicted to this game??

Honestly it's a simple and straight-forward game.

You can't really go wrong with this game. 

It provides a simple platform to explore yet there are simple rules to keep you from doing too many things at a time.

So is this game tough to play?!

Nope! Not at all actually.

It may get tricky as you proceed on but it's not tough per se.

Flaws in this game??

The only flaw I can think of is the attention span it can hold for a player.

You might get bored with it after a while.

But what keeps you going is the level indicator.

Each time you reach achieve a certain level, you get a new rank!

Who doesn't want a better rank?!

Okay come let us see... how to play this thing!

Random symbols will appear at your mouse and you can place them on the board.

You can only place them anywhere around the grey box or beside an identical symbol or a symbol of the same colour

See here - purple symbol cannot be put beside green

But purple symbol can be placed around the other purple one.

When you hover over a place that you can discard your symbol onto, the square will glow.

Sometimes a grey box appears as well.

And you can put this box wherever you like, as long as it's beside any symbol and not an empty area.

 

Okay once you build up your board.... you need to start eliminating the lines one by one.
Keep your eye on the line with the blue symbol.
I place one more at the end....

And voila! The whole line eliminates
You need to keep doing this for every line

And once you're done with the whole board, you can move on to the next level!


Happy trying!!!!


Here's the LINK!

I know everyone here expected me to review this game from day 1 because I'm playing it all the time and it's completely obvious why - this.game.fucking.rocks.

The game is played in facebook. Iphone and Ipod Touch users (the many unoriginal and similar looking lot of you) are also included in the fun.

How it's played:

The level starts with the gems nicely lines up in a grid for you. Like this:

Player next get to swap the positions of the gems to create 3 of a kind. When this occurs, the gems disappear from screen, points are awarded and new gems fall from the top to fill up the grid as the rest of the gems move down to fill the void.

At certain times, special gems are generated. The following is possible:

• When 4 gems line up, a flaming gem is produced which denotes and destroys the gems around it when detonated.
• When 5 gems line up at a right angle, a supercharged gem is produced which takes out the entire row both horizontally and vertically when detonated.
• When 5 gems line up in a straight line, a hypercube is produced. When a player swaps a hypercube with another gem, say a green one, all the green gems on the board will be taken away.

Here's an example of a flaming gem exploding:

And here's another one of a hypercube going off:

At the end of the game, the points are tabulated and a score is shown. The scores are tabulated against the high-scores of other players also playing.

Why it's fun:

The game is particularly engaging because of the simplicity in how it's played. Also, as the player has to obtain the highest score in 1 minute, the game is fast paced and exciting. Further more, the game is accompanied by extremely awesome sound effects.

There's only so much I can write about this beawesome game. So, go play it and experience the fun for yourself. (Except Weiwen, you need to srsly get facebook first.)

Overview
Okay okay, I'm sure most of you would have realised by now that I'm tend to lean more towards experimental, trippy games. Daniel Benmergui described his latest experimental/art game as being “about the daily choice of waking up in the morning”.

Today I Die is a whimsical, pixelated little game where the player has to interact with not just the objects in the game, but the text as well. The initial page just shows a girl underwater in a sort of comatose state, attached to a weight. She is surrounded by dead jellyfish, a couple of piranhas and a very depressing poem.



Gameplay
This game relies heavily on the player's thought process. You start off the game not knowing what to do, but after awhile the pieces slot into place. When I first started playing this game, I was like, "OhmigodwhatthehelldoIdo?!" You can move around objects, as well the text and for a few moments the player literally has to stab in the dark to figure out the exact point of this game. For example:

Interacting with text:
You can replace the words with other of a similar corresponding colour to change the scenario. If I swapped the word dead with the word dark, I'd be taken to the following scene:




Interacting with Objects:
After awhile of random clicks, I realised that clicking and holding on a jellyfish would cause it to light up, and if I keep it away from the piranhas for long enough, it stays lit permanently, and I also gain a new word to mess around with! Voila!



After awhile, you'd get the general gist of how the game works and the rest of it would pretty much be a breeze. You just need to figure out how to activate certain objects, and what to do with them in order to progress on to the next change of the poem.

In short, the whole point of the game is to turn the suicidal poem into one of optimism.



There's actually a fourth line to the poem. However, there are two possible endings, so I'll let you guys play it and won't spoil it for you. :)


Why I like this game:
Today I Die’s mechanics still provide an interesting glimpse of an approach to game design where the influence of the written word doesn’t end at the title screen. I love the fact that it's a feel-good game, and very gently touches on the topic of suicide. At first, the pixelated graphics didn't sit well with me, but after awhile I realised that it added a whole new feel to the game. The poem is short and uniquely powerful, and allows the player to feel as though they've somehow managed to help that character to escape.


Why I DON'T like this game:
Threewords for you: TOO. DAMN. SHORT.
