Games like....Club Penguin, Runescape etc

Lots of people are out there searching for new online multiplayer games to play that are similar to their favourites. I'm compiling a list of Multiplayer games on my Teen Online Games site and I need some help.

Here's an example of what I was thinking of:

puzzle pirates
Players perform pirate tasks by playing a number of puzzle-style minigames.
Cost: subscription
Similar games : club penguin, vmk

Sound useful? If you can suggest similar games to the ones I have on this site and offer suggestions for new games to add to the list that would be great. Just comment in this post.

Also, I'm looking for some more reviews. Played/read/listened to any really great or really sucky games/books/cds lately? Click on the Write a review link at the right and tell us all about it.

Cheers, Maryanne

Music - Journeyman by Scott Harrell

Rate the cd: 8

Cool CD. I really like the song, "Two Faced Man." I think that song would sound really cool if a woman sang it. "Love Came To Town" is great too. "A.I." is like a song from the 80s or something. It's got this spiritual edge to it which is really cool, and it's got a great rock too! Get this CD. It rocks!

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!
