Metropolis helps you to build your city building and management skills by buying land, constructing the buildings and managing it. The game is more for the creative people who can buy a vacant land or an already built city which one feels one can improve. All this comes at a cost and you need to pay up for the things that you buy. You are also given the opportunity of taxing, wherein you can levy taxes on the members who use the facilities of your city.

You can hold the post of a mayor and if you keep the residents happy, then you will have a chance of increasing the number of members residing in your city. These are some of the ways how you can best manage your city and earn the money all at the same time. As a mayor you have the opportunity of growing your own city cultures and earn bonuses in the form of landmarks.

This game is a little on the slower wide and is not meant for the game freaks because this game requires traits like patience and creativity. You have to slowly build the population of your city by inviting your friends who are members of the forum and also send out invitation to other members. The more popular you are the more will be the population of your city.

‘Metropolis’ is a game that can make you the master of your own creations on the web and also provide an opportunity to bond with some of the most creative minds on the Facebook. So, building your own metropolis and ruling it the way you want to can give you immense pleasure. You will find that the fruits of your brickworks really taste great.

Diablo III is the long-awaited third installment of Blizzard’s successful Diablo series. With all the buzz going around about this game, one of the most popular topics are the five character classes that will be featured in this game.

So far, Blizzard has revealed three of the five Diablo 3 characters; Barbarian, The Wizard, and Witch Doctor. The Barbarian is a brute-force character, and is revisiting the series from the second installment. The Wizard is obviously the sorcerer-type character, specializing in magic spells that inflict damage upon the enemies from mid-range. The Witch Doctor is, although not a replacement, the closest thing to a necromancer that we’ve seen yet. They use ancient tribal magic to tap into an unseen reality which allows them to use their powers.

There are two more characters that, so far, Blizzard has completely left us in the dark about. Because of this, fans are all speculating at what these hidden classes could be… Many think that one of them will be an archer-type character, as it makes sense with previous character formulas that Blizzard has used in their Diablo games. But, a healer class comes to question as well… Blizzard is marketing Diablo III as a built-for-multiplayer game… Somewhat of an MMORPG. Because of this a healer class would be very useful for other party mates, and thus would be a very nice addition to the game in this respect, but none of these speculations have been acknowledged, let alone confirmed.

As speculations rise, many fans are choosing to just stick with pre-strategizing with the three classes they’ve already got. We’ve got enough information on all of them to be able to make a decision on which we’ll be when it comes out, given that a hidden class doesn’t entice us.

One thing that Blizzard is giving us with Diablo III that they’ve never offered before is gender choice. In previous games, if a class was male, you would have to play as a male character, and vice-versa. This is a nice addition, seeing as it is helpful to be your gender in an RPG, since some people have difficulty role-playing as the opposite gender.

Let’s take a bit of a closer look at the revealed characters and their skills…

The Barbarian is a character that most are already familiar with. Brute force allows you to bash, punch, and slice your way through enemies without the aid of magic. This is great for players who love getting up close and personal with their foes and showing them what’s what. Barbarian’s skills are very similar to that of Diablo II, with some differences. Basically, he’s a more perfected character now… He was brought back because he needed work, and they’ve fixed him up. Now he’s more powerful than ever with a range of attacks to show for it.

The Wizard relies solely on magic to get their dirty work done. That’s not to say anything negative – their skill list and attacks really are quite astonishing and compelling. He is a very powerful character and his attacks can come unexpectedly to deliver a much-needed final blow to enemies of all sizes. One of his great attacks is “Slow Time.” Basically, this slows down time around them to allow for them and team mates to get in better attacks that maybe take longer to initiate, or just to get more hits in before retaliation. Another effective attack is “Acid Cloud,” which drops a cloud of acid in the designated area that deals initial damage and then continuous damage if enemies remain in the area. And finally, one last attack is “Tornado.” This one is pretty self-explanatory…. You create a giant twister that spins off and destroys everything in it’s path.

The Witch Doctor is a fascinating character… They have quite a story with them, but I’ll get right to their skills. The seemingly most famous Witch Doctor skill so far is the “Locust Swarm.” This attack lets out a swarm of locusts on multiple enemies, and as the enemies die off, the locusts move onto other nearby enemies, thus increasing the range of damage. I’m sure you can see how this can be useful. Another amazing skill is “Soul Harvest.” This attack drains nearby enemies (up to five) of energy and absorbs their souls. Now, if you don’t have enough time to initiate one of these attacks, either call on one of your Wizard pals or use “Horrify,” which calls of a spirit or illusion that floats above your head, scaring nearby enemies into running away in fear.

As you can see, the characters are already pretty well-explained, and Diablo III fans everywhere are waiting anxiously for Blizzard to introduce us to our two new characters.

If you haven’t had the opportunity to get your hands on the Wrath of the Lich King yet, you are in for quite a treat.  Those who have maxed out their levels in the previous series (Burning Crusade), can now start increasing again all the way to Level 80.  You will find new battlegrounds, bigger dungeons and raids, as well as many additional features along the way.  This being said, you will find some of the new features below.

Death Knight Hero Class

If you thought the armor and weaponry was stellar in the Burning Crusade, wait until you try out the Death Knight Hero Class.  While there have been many Death Knights before now, they all fail in comparison to the Hero Class.  This version allows you to utilize three different categories (Blood, Frost, Unholy) to build the strongest character this game has ever seen to date.  One thing to note about the Hero Class of Death Knights is that you cannot create this character until you reach at least level 55 with someone in your previous realms.

Producing More Skill Level Points

In the previous versions you were only able to boast any particular character to 375 skill points for a profession.  However, with the Wrath of the Lich King (WLK) you can produce up to 450.  This will give you the opportunity to see a few rare recipes along the way which create stronger and more enjoyable players.  According to the WoW website there will be more to come in the near future.

More Monsters

After awhile it gets old fighting the same types of monsters over and over again.  One of the great parts of owning a new expansion besides the story line is all the new characters that come into play.  The Wrath of the Lich King offers up twelve different monsters you will be fighting.  The list is; Darkfallens, Flesh Giants, Ice Trolls, Iron Dwarfs, Jormungars, Magnataurs, Nerubians Viziers, Plague Eruptors, Proto-Dragons, Shovel Tusks, Taunkas, and Wendigos.

Miscellaneous

It doesn’t matter what game you play, those extras are always entertaining.  The Wrath of the Lich King provides barber shops, voice emotes, as well as additional mounting features and various other items.  While these are not nearly as important as the other new additions they could help you make the changes necessary to create a very unique character.

Just the Beginning

While there was an ample amount of features added to the WLK installment, there are many more to come.  According to the main website they are trying to produce as much as possible to make navigation and other components easier to utilize throughout the game.  Regardless, we know you will enjoy every aspect of the Wrath of the Lich King edition.

Clad in protective goggles, he conquers levels in the usual fashion, by the command of the [arrow] keys. In the first scene, the cute and calm environment gives you an opportunity to try out his special talent. Press [up] to make the farter jump. Then, before he returns to the ground, press [up] again and he will fly through the air on a cloud of hyper-colic gas. Once you have control of his farting power, direct him towards the little closed door, where 49 more levels of adventure await.
The physics in Puzzle Farter are elegant, yet difficult to master. One fart will only get you so far or so high, and it takes a moment for his gas to recharge. Trying to hurry along will give you a series of short toots, and leave our hero sitting in a cloud of his own gas. (No wonder he wears the goggles.) By the same token, a short blast is sometimes all you need, especially if you’re looking for a little extra boost at the end of a long jump.

As the levels progress, they become increasingly difficult. Touching a monster, who seem to be immune to your stinky gas, or running into one of the many spiky walls will take away a precious health star. When your three stars are gone, you’ll lose a life. While you begin the game with only three lives, there are 13 “1-ups” scattered throughout the levels. In order to reach the end, you’ll need to summon all your timing and patience.

For some, this game will be difficult and frustrating, while others are just born flatulent. Yet, it isn’t necessarily the challenge that makes this game so endearing. The graphics are simple, yet adorable. The enemies are almost too cute to fear: prehistoric-looking birds, ducks performing jumping jacks, and frogs whose extended tongues can support your weight. But, best of all are the sounds of the Puzzle Farter’s biological thrusters, varying from polite little toots to ripping a big one. Playing with the sound on is a must (unless you’re at the office or Grandma’s house, or you just want to pretend he has an invisible jet-pack.)

This fun little platformer is the first independent flash game for the development group Pet Tomato. (Previously, they’ve just made kitschy little games for Cartoon Network.) For a first of anything, Puzzle Farter is beautiful. What the game lacks in music or plot, it makes up for with simple charm and giggles. I hope we’ll see more from Pet Tomato in the future. At least for now, we have 50 levels of farting goodness to enjoy. So, toss out the Gas-X and go with the flow, and enjoy playing Puzzle Farter.

Cheers to Austin, Julian, Uberknarf, and Lycia for suggesting this one! =)

In my opinion; there are many factors that make sims2 an enjoyable and unique experience…
a) endless opportunities
b) endless humour
and
c) endless expansion packs
Because, really, would a Sims game BE a Sims game if it didb’t have at least 7 expansion packs? NO!

There is however one EXTREMELY annoying thing about this package, before you need to know before you click buy…
AWFUL PACKAGING …
I’m not talking about simple malfunctions with shipping, I mean the actual disc case; the central holder is rock solid and is IMPOSSIBLY hard to remove the disc without damage. I had to stop playing my copy only 4 days after I bought it, not because I loathed it, but because the disc quite literally snapped in two!

1/5 WITH THE USUAL CASE
5/5 IN A GOOD CASE
