Books - Tajore Arkle by Jackie French

Rate the book: 9

Jackie French has once again spun a beautiful tale. The story is about a young girl Anya who may seem normal but is auctually very different. She has dreams of things that happened in the past. Dreams of fertiliser, bottles and fruit all the things that don't exsist in dull town Greycliffs. Eventually she is sent to the mountain were there are other people like her, called pastseers. However one girl is still missing, Melya. The book follows Anya and her friend Ib as they journey to find Melya.

Games - Luxor 2

Game platform: PC
Game genre: Strategy
Rating (Aust): G - General
Rate the game: 9

The sequel to the highly-addictive Luxor is a lot of fun, although not quite as good as the original. I'm not sure if I can describe it without sounding totally lame, however here goes. The aim is to shoot coloured balls into a chain to form groups of 3 or more to make them disappear before they travel into a pyramid. As you get rid of the chains you collect coins etc and build up your score.

Luxor 2 has new designs and heaps of fantastic new powerups, however I've found I haven't played it quite as much as the original.

Games - S.T.A.L.K.E.R

Game Platform: PC
Rating (Aust): MA 15+ (Strong Violence)
Rate the game: 10

This game is a masterpeice. The graphics are brilliant and the story is also well thought out. As a survivor of a massive global neuclear fallout, you must use everything you can to survive. the interaction with the other (computer) characters is brilliant; conversations actually seem natural, and there is decent lip-synching for once. Possibly the greatest First Person Shooter ever. Genre is Survival/Action with elements of horror. Be warned though, it is a 15+ Restricted game, and has the 18+ Rating in the USA. Enjoy!
