If there’s one thing you’ll remember after hearing the words Emerald City, then certainly it’s going to be The Wizard of Oz. Bringing back the magic of this place from years ago since Dorothy and her adventure, Emerald City Confidential now follows the plotline of post-war Oz, a thriving country not only in terms of culture and commerce, but also of greed and corruption too.
The story of the game starts with a seemingly simple case given to a private investigator named Petra. At first, it seems as if our heroine takes on these dangerous tasks just to make ends meet, but in reality, her free time is mostly spent in search for her own missing brother. Anyway, her current case is not to be taken lightly either since as the case thickens, she finds herself a key component in the middle of an impending war, but on the positive side, puts her nearer the goal of finding her long lost brother as well.
Emerald City Confidential is an adventure type game where you take a third person view of Petra while you investigate people, places and clues helping you achieve your goals in-game. Much like any other detective-type adventure, most of your time playing will involve talking to various individuals living in the world of Oz. You’ll see many of the familiar characters in the original story, like Scarecrow, Lion and Tin Man, who are also playing main roles in the game. Included in the list are other lovable characters too like Glenda the good witch and Toto, Dorothy’s lovable dog.

Grand Theft Auto is a video game available for purchase at the local video game store or electronic store as well as on the internet. It has become incredibly popular since its original release in 1997 and there have been a handful of sequels released since then. The Grand Theft Auto games that have been released by DMA Design are Grand Theft Auto, GTA 2, GTA III, GTA: Vice City, GTA: San Andreas, GTA: Liberty City Stories, GTA: Vice City Stories and GTA IV. GTA: Chinatown Wars is slated to be released in March of 2009 for the Nintendo DS handheld system and will include a couple of touch screen mini games. The GTA series has also been released on PlayStation Portable and Game Boy Advance.
The Grand Theft Auto video game series is controversial to say the least. The premise of the video games is to walk around the city and steal vehicles while pulling in as much money as possible off of the streets. The main character can pull in money by robbing other citizens in the video game. This is done in some very unorthodox ways by beating up the citizens and even killing them. The video game is extremely violent. The main character can get into fights with gangs, get chased by the police, and get run over by all kinds of vehicles. The main premise of the vehicle is to steal cars, trucks, vans, taxis, buses, ambulances and police cruisers. The title of the video game explains its premise.

Movie-based games are often produced to promote their silver screen counterparts in order to produce buzz about the film and sell more to the gaming audience. But this time, it’s the other way around for the Clueless game, since the movie started way back in 1995 through Paramount and hopefully, following its past success, will expose the game to the movie fans. Still, what’s important is how the game fares in the fun factor, which will be our topic in this review.
Clueless follows the adventures of Cher, an upper class teenager fashionista in Beverly Hills. In this game, your task is to make the world a better place by helping your friends dress up according to the latest fashion styles. With the primary objective to wow their boyfriends, you’ll have to scour through every nook and cranny of the local mall to spot the latest trends and put them to good use for your friends’ benefit.

So last night I got some time to try out GTI Club + while downloading the demo for Skate 2.
So today, I talked about this game at work with my co-worker and he said the first game was pretty good so I was even more excited to give this a try after work. The demo offers the single player as well as a party demo which allows you go party together with up to 3 other players (offline not online) which I didn’t get a chance to try since I only have one controller (still!) and I couldn’t call any of my friends right at that moment. But after playing the single player, This MIGHT just be the first skateboard game I will purchase!
I also want to point out that the demo is time based, you can extend the time by performing tricks to earn more points. Before you actually go out there and start boarding you get to customize your character. You can customize from a wide range of features like gender, hair type/color, eye color, facial hair etc. The customization can easily drain 30 minutes of your game time if you go crazy with your character. You also start off with $300 which is used to purchase different clothes or skateboard, which I didn’t. Finally you get to choose your stance, goofy means your right foot in front and regular means left foot in front. I’m a regular, just like in snowboarding.
Once you are done with your character, you will start off in the neighborhood. Similar to the popular GTA 4, Skate 2 has a “sand box” style world and you can skateboard/move freely within the neighborhood. Then again you can’t really do that in this demo since you only have a few minutes, unless you start performing tricks and earn points in order to extend the timer.
Honestly as a first time Skate player, I had some trouble trying to memorize all the controls because there are quite a few to remember. But in time you will get used to the controls. Since the demo is time based, you don’t really have too much time to test out the controls and each “trick”. During the game, you have to jump across a gap which you have to first pick up speed, then pull the right analog stick back and then forward to make your character jump. The whole process was harder than I thought. If you fail, the tips screen will play and explain to you how to do execute jump properly. The tips screen is great, for the first time because the explanation is very clear combined with demonstration. But every time you miss the jump, you are forced to see the same screen over and over again until you make it across. Very annoying!

It’s rare to have a knack in interior design but it’s definitely rarer to have a talent for sales too. Fabulous Finds lets you explore both of these talents at the same time in a hidden object game that fuses yard sales and proper house design sense. But its real shine lies in its unique gameplay mechanics and that’s what we aim to explore further in this review.
The game starts after you inherited a beautiful home in Carmel, CA coming from your late Great Aunt Beatrice. The story tells of you having great times with your aunt in redecorating the house and having fun during yard sales, and this time around, you can do that freely since you already own the house. For your aunt’s loving memory, you’re off to get started in interior decorating, and your talent for making some money from sales will help you well, being with no budget to start your dreams with.
Unlike conventional hidden object games, Fabulous Finds explores a gameplay wherein instead of finding listed items, you’re off to look for items that falls within a specific category. Categories are decided by the morning’s newspaper, telling you of certain events that will take place in town, therefore making it a viable market to sell stuff. In other words, you collect items for the yard sale in the hidden object game, and make money afterwards by selling them to the dozens of people visiting town for the events.

With 2008 coming to a close, what blog would be complete without a post talking about 2009? Therefore, I’ve created this list half-jokingly to hopefully spark a little interest in really stepping up your game in 2009. Getting good at Street Fighter 4 in 2009 should benefit you for years because as we all know, Capcom is bound to at least make SF4: Champion Edition and SF4: Hyper Fighting and you know you’re going to be playing all of them!
So here we go:
1. Quit whiffing throws
This is probably the number one thing most players can do to improve in Street Fighter 4. Even though whiffing throws doesn’t usually lead to death as it does in 3rd Strike, characters like Balrog can still do a huge chunk of damage for whiffing throws if you’re not careful. Instead, learn to Option Select Throw, which means to input LK + LP while blocking. If they throw, you’ll tech, if they don’t throw, you get a jab. Either way, you’re not going to get whiff, so you’ll save yourself a lot of life over the course of 2009.
2. Learn an alternate character
Simply put, learning an alternate character will not only help you understand the matchup between your main and your alternate better, it will give you a semi-secret weapon to use in a tournament to catch someone by surprise and steal a win or two. Or you can use your alternate character to counter-pick someone else, such as using Vega against Sagat or Dhalsim against Balrog.
3. Do your part to strengthen your local community
What good is being the best at Street Fighter 4 if you’re sitting at home by yourself in training mode? Get out there and help run tournaments, make friends with more people, become better friends with the guys you already play with. By strengthening the community, more people will be playing more frequently which will make everyone level up.
4. Start double-tapping
This might be a new one for most people. For those not familiar, double-tapping is where you hit buttons twice very quickly instead of once. This doubles your chances of the game accepting the input, as well as makes timing links and chains easier. The most common way of doing this is to do a scraping motion with your index and middle finger, then scrape so that your middle finger is a split second ahead of your index finger.
5. Start taking notes
I’m pretty positive that doing this has been one of the best improvements I’ve made to my game in a long time. I feel like I was able to learn the game a lot easier because I wrote down moves I had trouble with, outcomes of situations I hadn’t seen before and what worked/didn’t work against difficult opponents. I started off using a small $.99 pocket-sized notepad, but now I use my iPod Touch because it’s easier to find stuff. Whatever works for you, just try it out!
6. Break bad habits
This ties into the whole “not whiffing throws” thing. You should recognize your bad habits by analyzing why you are losing. Are you doing wakeup uppercuts too much? Whiffing throws? Jumping in and getting anti-aired? Make it a point to go a whole round without doing one of your bad habits and see how your game changes, even if you lose.
7. Improve your weaknesses
Analyze your game and see what your tendencies are. Maybe you primarily play rushdown style or you’re content to turtle out most matches. Make a real effort to learn how to play the opposite style. You never know when you’ll benefit in an important match by being a more versatile player.
8. Stop taking it so seriously/Start taking it more seriously
Remember, it’s just Street Fighter! Or, consider that it’s NOT just Street Fighter. Many players could benefit from taking it less seriously (myself included) because after all, it’s just Street Fighter and it’s supposed to be fun. No sense getting all worked up over nothing.

Are you getting sick and tired of sitting in front of the computer playing video games? If so, perhaps the Nintendo Wii offers a great alternative. When you play games on the computer, you sit in front of the system for hours, using your fingers to type or click. In the long run, this may pose serious health hazards for you. Stiff or incorrect posture can cause injuries to your neck, shoulder, as well as spinal area. Your wrists may also get injured as well if you are not careful.
Nintendo Wii games work very differently from traditional computer games. The system works with sensors, and controllers are sensor based. That means there are no wires connecting the controllers to the system. And that allows greater freedom of movement. You can play all kinds of fun and exciting games on the Nintendo Wii. Popular games include bowling, tennis, cooking, and racing.
The gaming concept is simple - allow players to respond to signals in the game using the controllers. With a greater degree of movement, fans find that they get a great work out while playing Wii games. It’s only a matter time that Nintendo starts releasing fitness related games. True enough, we now have the Wii balance board.
With the release of the balance board, fans can now enjoy a whole range of different games. When the balance board was first released, you have to buy it together with a game called Wii Fit. Fans are thrilled by the balance board, but they also want to find out if the balance board is available for sale without the purchase of Wii Fit. After all, there are other games that they can play using the balance board. Unfortunately, the answer to that question is a disappointing “no”. You cannot buy the balance board without the Wii Fit.

The following article is a top ten list of the computer video games. The list was derived from gamers whom have come to the site and have rated the computer video games. This top ten list is in no particular order.
Tomb Raider Underworld
Following the franchise’s legendary return to success under the direction of Crystal Dynamics, Underworld aims to maintain the high level of solid, free-flowing action that reinvigorated the series, while bringing back more of the spooky exploration and challenging jumping puzzles that helped define the classic Tomb Raider games of the late ’90s.
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas
Rockstar Games’ cornerstone Grand Theft Auto series returns for a third run through the 128-bit generation, with this violent, mature-themed third-person shooter and mission-based driving game. Like its immediate predecessor, Vice City, San Andreas strives to provide a wide, deep foundation for its free-form criminal gameplay by setting the story in a slightly exaggerated representation of a familiar (if not glorified) American subculture.
The Witcher
Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski’s short story collection is brought to digital life in The Witcher, a single-player action RPG starring a monster hunter named Geralt. Players control the silver-haired Geralt in a fantasy world where dwarves, elves, and humans live in bitter seclusion and monsters roam freely.
F.E.A.R. First Encounter Assault Recon
F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) is an intense combat experience with rich atmosphere and a deeply intense paranormal storyline presented entirely in first person. This first person shooter combines creepy horror with gorgeous visual effects which elevates the game to a new intensity.
Need for Speed Prostreet
Design and tweak your car to perfection, then lay it all on the line in high-speed events around the globe. Battle your newly designed car in four distinct racing styles- grip, drag, drift and the all-new speed challenge.
Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3
Probably two of the best real time strategy based PC games on the market. They also can give you a back story on World of Warcraft one of the best online multiple player real time strategy based game on the market. Hours upon hours of fun can be found with the Warcraft series.
Farcry
Farcry is based in a tropical paradise that seethes with hidden evil, a cunningly detailed action shooter that pushes the boundaries of combat to shocking new levels. Far Cry runs on developer Crytek Studios’ own CryENGINE, which features unpredictable enemies that use group tactics to make the main character’s job more difficult.
Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War
Visit a dark, distant, gothic future and take real-time command of powerful armies to wage intense, tactical battles in the name of freedom or justice. Following Warhammer 40,000: Fire Warrior, this is the second game based on the franchise to be published by THQ. Like all Warhammer 40,000 games, Dawn of War is set in the futuristic fantasy universe of Game Workshop’s tabletop war game, which first became popular in the late 1980s.
Neverwinter Nights 2
Neverwinter Nights 2 offers 50 plus hours of game play, it has a full feature toolset for creating more realistic characters. It is probably the most authentic representation of a Dungeons and Dragons game that you will find for a computer video game.
