Mastermind is the classic game of logic
and deduction. This version is nice and clean and has a few interesting
features. Unlike many other on-line versions you can play multiplayer. There is also a scored version and a Top 10 Players list. If you can
crack the code fast enough you can make the list.
You can find the game at http://codebreaker.creativitygames.net

Games - Assassin's Creed Brotherhood
Game platform: X-box 360
Game genre: Action
Rating (Aust): MA15+ - Mature accompanied
Rate the game:9.5/10
What you thought: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood is a great game that is as good if not better than it's predecessors.
After escaping the warehouse you were hiding in during Assassin’s Creed 2 you make your way to Monteriggioni where you get into the animus (a machine that relives memories of ancestors through DNA) and go back to renaissance Italy, Playing as Ezio Auditore Da Firenze just after the final moments of AC2. You have to get out of the Vatican and back to Monteriggioni with Mario, your uncle and master of the order of the Assassin's.After ‘spoiler’ you head to Rome to avenge ‘spoiler’.
Familiar faces return with Leonardo Da Vinci, Mario and Catirina Sforza. Optional missions are varied from races against thieves to assassinations to destroying Borgia towers to blowing up Da Vincis creations. 4 factions dominate the game the assassins the mercenaries, the courtesans and the thieves each faction has special missions and buildings can be constructed around the city. Because of the scale of Rome you are now allowed to ride horses in the city making easier and faster to get from point A to point B.
A new addition to Brotherhood is the ability to form a group of assassins that can fight targets in hand to hand combat or fire an arrow storm on a target. You can also use them as a distraction to slip past guards but can result in the death of the assassin. They also can be sent on missions to gain XP. leveling an assassin gives you the option of improving their weapons or armor. the other factions can also help but are largely not used due to their cost and assassins are just so much cooler. Your brotherhood will grow with each Borgia tower you destroy.
An in-game economy is now added to the mix and gives you the opportunity to purchase properties around Rome. These properties earn you money over time and are a good investment at the start of the game.
A training program inside the animus is available giving you the opportunity to earn gold, silver and bronze medals in a variety of categories.You can fight waves of soldiers or just free run. Two achievements are in the training program. Training for new skills help a lot when in game you are surrounded and have to make a descision whether to fight or run away like a little girl.
You can also go outside the animus and snoop around modern day Monteriggioni and collectables range from the medici cape to Maria’s feather chest.
New to AC is the ability to sheath heavy weapons and is great for people that in AC2 to used the axes that were dropped by the brutes. A crossbow has been added to your large list of weapons giving great long ranged firepower. Parachutes are also new giving the player the ability to break their fall if they fall off a very tall building.
Multiplayer is a first for the franchise giving you the chance to show off your skills to the world. Giving you the opportunity to play with up to 12 players on a variety of maps including Rome, Florence and Mont-St-Michel. Characters also vary from the stealthy to all out fat guy with a hammer. Weapons are different for all characters from axes to hidden blade to syringes filled with poison. Game types are plentiful from free-for-all to team based games which makes for new action every time you play. Points are awarded for stealthy kills while running after a target awards less. Perks and inventory are also added to the mix giving variety. Some help with attack and others help with escapes. The multiplayer takes an eternity to find a game taking away from the amazing experience of multiplayer.
Brotherhood relies heavily on its story line and is a hard game to take up and enjoy without playing the first 2 but taking the new features, new weapons and the all new multiplayer it is a must buy.

Games - Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight
Game platform: PC
Game genre: Strategy
Rating (Aust): M - Mature
Rate the game: 3
When I first saw the trailers of C and C 4 it looked like a winner and I immediately pre-ordered one, but the reality is very different. The first trailers looked very promising, showing new units, new gameplay and a brand new construction and deployment system, these changes were a surprise at first glance but intruging, but when you look deeper it really is quite shallow. I will list my negatives below
The crawler system pretty much virtually destroyed the old fashioned MCV system used in almost all earlier C and C games apart from Generals (but unlike C and C 4 the system Generals used was very balanced, even preferable.
a) In older games you could tell if a tank of this faction was better than a tank of this faction, but here MBTs and APCs of different factions have identical costs, which makes you question if the factions units have any distinct advantages against their counterparts.
b) The resource gathering system has been completely destroyed.
In lots of strategy games there usually is some king of currency. e.g. Minerals and Gas in Starcraft, Mass and Energy in Supreme Commander, Requisistion in Warhammer 40 000, Credits in almost every other C and C game. In this you are issued with Command Points (CP) which acts as your population cap and money together. But you don't need to capture or obtain ANYTHING to increase it. You essentially can get units for free, and as long as you keep losing units you can get a few more. Don't worry about losing 4 Mastodons which cost 12 CP apiece, just wait a few minutes and you will have another 4 Mastodons. In other games without income your enemy can't build anything, so you go for their supply operations (I call this 'bleeding them dry', but in C and C 4 you can't lose blood.
P.S. Lose your crawler (all in one base), just get another one! That is really irritating to see waste all your hard work to destroy a crawler just to see fall out of the sky, or burrow out of the ground.
This new system is very poor, in this you can get new units depending on the amount of games you have played, on multiplayer do not be surprised to verse players with level 20 Mastodons and Kodiaks while you have Hunters and Orcas (level 1). This mechanism is really on balanced and appears to be intended for multiplayer because in campaign mode you can often get top-tier units which are just lying around.
a) Too short.
The campaign for GDI was a pitiful 9 missions (including 3 tutorials). This did not give you much time to play with your new toys and made it really out of its depth.
b) Who you are working with.
Yes, we don't always get to be the good guys but that doesn't seem a very good excuse to be working with GDI extremists (in the GDI campaign), whose leader is a colonel hell-bent on killing Kane, to the point she kills your 'wife' and GDI comrades.
c) Shallow cutscenes and characters
Command and Conquer cutscenes were never completely in-depth (except Generals, those cutscenes were cool!), but Tiberian Twilight takes this to a level lower than ever before. Why do they add in EVERY sequel a new cast of characters! Apart from Kane. The actors and actresses are only READING there lines, not actually impersonating their aliases, apart from Kane, but hes got his own problems. Kane has always been a bit 'nutty', but inthis installment hes even nuttier than before, always talking about his 'ascension'.
a) The damage weapons do in this has been horribly tampered with, it takes like 50 shots with a laser cannon to destroy a light vehicle. In other strategy games a weapon that can destroy heavy targets would be able to destroy lighter ones, except if its approached by many of them then its at a disadvantage. In this a weapon thats 'good' against heavy will basically do little more than a scratch against light. This should be way more realistic.
b) In pre- game trailers I saw a 'unit profile' of a Sandstorm, which is a rocket volley launcher. In the trailer it showed it firing a salvoe of some 16 missiles, although it has a significant reload time. In the game the Sandstorm fires just 4 missiles when it looks like it can fire 5 times that. Also the massive missile turrets GDI defense have looks like they can fire like 32 - 64 missiles, yep, it can only fire a measly 4, when missile turrets that look like they can fire 8 can actually only fire a puny 2 missiles.
I hope that this significantly long review provides a good insight into Command and Conquer 4, if you have $80 I advise you buy Starcraft II, comparing it to C and C 4 is like comparing laser surgical equipment to a hammer and chisel.

The Genius that is EVONY. A couple weeks ago i was looking to download a movie from ..... when a very clever looking advertisement caught my eye. I curiously clicked it and up came the Evony website. The first thing you will notice is beautiful maiden and an intense looking knight ready for action and a subtitle that reads "FREE TO PLAY FOREVER". I was sold. I knew i was in for a treat, but when i actually started playing i became even more delighted. I was instantly hooked. You are overseer of a town that you need to build. And you need to do it hastily as other will be competing against you. As a leader you need to make sure your town is prosperous by building the right amount of resource facilites. You need to build enough housing to accomidate a rising population. You need to build an army to protect all you progress from your fellow online gamers.
It is a very relaxing and rewarding game. And you can play it without anyone noticing. I personaly have it rinning at work the entire day. Every once and a while i will go to the game and build something new or learn new techniques at the academy and because it can take multiple hours to learn and build I can just go back to my regular routine knowing that my citizens are doing what i told them to. It is very empowering. At this stage in the game i am currently building my army getting ready to plunder from other towns and possible destroy a few. You can make alliances, betray alliances, or go it alone. And this is only the beginning. Evony is in its early stages. There is so much more to come.
But don't waste your time listening to me ramble on about this fantastic game because i could go on forever about all the detailed features of the game. Just type www.evony.com in your address bar and have fun. Did i mention it's FREE

Rating (Aust): G - General
Rate the game: 9
Elf Island is a great game. It is aimed towards kids ages 8 to 14 , but don't be fooled many teenagers and adults play it as well. It is a great game for the whole family. In Elf Island you are an Elf which you can personalize with many different clothing items and styles. Elf Island is not your average online game. Elf Island is gaming for good. Elf Island is a safe place for kids to have fun and make a difference in the real world. It has a chat filter and much more to keep its members happy and safe. The community of Elf Island all participate in Goodquests to help make a difference in the real world. Goodquests are quests that everyone can do to reach a goal to do good. Some recent Goodquests the Elf Island community has completed were for, Polar Bears, Sharks, Building houses in Honduras and many more. Currently, elves are helping Pandas! When playing Goodquests you don't only help the world but you can win prizes and coins. Elf Islanders can make a difference in the world thanks to non-profit organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Plant 2020, Polar Bear International, Pandas international, Fresh Producers, Wild Aid and more.
There are also many fun things to do on the Island other then Goodquests. You can also find many games throughout the island. These games are lot's of fun and you can earn coins playing them. Later you can spend those coins in the market place for cool items at stores such as Holiday Curio, the Wing Dome, the General Store and more! You can use the items you buy to decorate your own room, which you choose when you join. You can always buy a new room and add rooms.
Also in Elf Island you can always find staff members around. Mods are very helpful in answering questions and keeping everyone safe. Hosts do the same as Mods but they also hold games in which you can win prizes. In game you can always send a question, or report a player to the M button(message to the staff) and I find they get back to you fairly quickly.
Elf Island also holds many contests and Giveaways. Though one of the best things is the great friends you can make and add to your buddies list.
There are also many awesome places to visit on the island, some are the Volcano, beach, woods, meadow, Marsh, Mountain Cave, Ice cavern, Savanna, and many more! The rooms are very cool and beautiful! Elf Islanders can also win awards when they go above and beyond when trading,gifting items, and just playing and many more. With they award you can redeem prizes as well. You can do all this for free, but you can also pay to be a member and get special member only goods, get an allowance, more clothing options and much more! Elf Island is always coming up with new fun ways to do good and is growing fast and making some awesome updates frequently. Most everyone I find is so friendly and helpful and I look forward to continue to play Elf Island as it continues to grow.
Visit Elf Island Here: http://www.elfisland.com/
You can also visit the Elf Island Fansite of the year here: http://www.elfislandfansite.com/
There you can find lot's of helpful information, including the wiki which is a full directory of every item, room, quests, events, and more that has ever been or is on Elf Island! You can find the latest news and see what other Elves are doing around the island! You can also find some helpful threads and make your own threads if you have questions, opinions, ect.

There are also many awesome places to visit on the island, some are the Volcano, beach, woods, meadow, Marsh, Mountain Cave, Ice cavern, Savanna, and many more! The rooms are very cool and beautiful! Elf Islanders can also win awards when they go above and beyond when trading,gifting items, and just playing and many more. With they award you can redeem prizes as well. You can do all this for free, but you can also pay to be a member and get special member only goods, get an allowance, more clothing options and much more! Elf Island is always coming up with new fun ways to do good and is growing fast and making some awesome updates frequently. Most everyone I find is so friendly and helpful and I look forward to continue to play Elf Island as it continues to grow.

Game - Lords of Legend
Game platform: Online
Game genre: Massively Multiplayer Online Game
Rating (Aust): G - General
Rate the game: 10
Lords of Legend is a very good game for kids or teens who are rarely home. This game is very good for the fact that while you are gone it makes money and AP ( attack points, check Lords of Legends guide for details). This game is recommended for fantasy game lovers and those with the lust for power. You can build your empire and destroy others empires with the touch of a button. All in all, this game gets a 8 out of 10 for the fact that fantasy game, can be played while not home and is just plain fun for power seekers.

It was gennrally a good game it had some minor flaws like lag in massive firefights they fixed many of the problems that occured in the first Saints Row like when driving past buildings at high speed everything would still be loading the city is much larger than in the first one the missions are really not much different from the first one except with different gangs the fact that their is so many more weapons then the first one makes running around killing people better their are chainsaws swords lock on RPGs mini guns and more the cheats (if you like cheating for fun) are a lot better than the ones in the original game and even better than GTA4 the graphics were average they defiantly were not MGS4 graphics but it's a different game completely you can be a girl or a guy which is good their is heaps of customisations for cars and clothes you can buy cribs their are plenty of gang customisations like changing the cars your gang members drive they also introduced helicopters, planes, jet skis and boats overall it is a very good game and I would reccomend it to anyone really

Games - Gran Turismo 4 (GT4)
Game platform: Playstation 2
Game genre: Racing
Rating (Aust): G - General
Rate the game: 10
I think this game is great. When you first start the game you are given $10,000 and you can buy any car you want (if you can afford it of course). You can even do licences and work your way up from the bottom to one of the best racers with the best car or the car you've always wanted to buy. It is a great game and with about 721 different cars to choose from it will really keep you entertained. Definately a great game to play.

Well im back... and im not here with good news. May 21 2008 is the day that VMK WILL CLOSE FOR EVER. Now this may be upsetting, as it is to me, but vmk was created to celebrate disneyland's 50th anniversary. That was in 2005 and the staff thinks it is time to stop. So... That was it goodbye my VMK

Woah that's huge gaming news Gold and very sad. I just checked out their newsletter, it said:
"Eventually though, all promotions must come to an end, so I'm announcing today that on May 21, 2008, VMK will open our virtual gates for the last time. You read that right: VMK was never intended to last forever – we'll close the game for good at the end of day on May 21st, 2008." Yavn Speaks, VMK newsletter.
I know a lot of VMK'ers visit Teen Online. Everyone will need to find somewhere else to go. Will it be Club Penguin, Puzzle Pirates, Pirates of the Caribbean Online or somewhere else? It's difficult though to say goodbye to the friends you've made along the way.......Maryanne

Games - SWAT 4
Game platform: PC
Game genre: First Person Shooter
Rating (Aust): MA15+ - Mature accompanied
Rate the game: 8.5
SWAT 4 is an awesome Tactical Shooter with a difference. You get to control not just yourself, but a whole squad of the guys from Special Weapons And Tactics. You have to navigate quite a number of difficult situations using state-of-the-art equipment. Mirroring doors, radio controlling and up-to-the-minute sniper reports. The AI is fantastic; the best I've seen in any game made before this one. The troops look and act real. The only things that detract from the game are its very loooooooong load times for each level, and the lack of much variety. All of the missions involve walking into a buliding, and subduing all resistance. You get extra points for doing this without just blindly shooting. You can only 100% the game using non-lethal methods, and killing civillians is a sure-fire fail. That said, the game does involve lots of shooting and swearing, and some of the situations the player finds themselves in are, perhaps, themed maturely. If you're not into realistic insanity or psychos who hide bodies in their apartments, this possibly won't suit. It's fairly grity. Still, if you like some tactics with your shoot-em-ups, this is that game for you. Two expansion packs are also avalible.
