Are you a mission solver? Do you love to rip of the enemy tanks, and get the juice out of the battle fields? Then this is not the game you should download (but the 1 hour demo version is worth a download for everyone). Now for all those puzzle solvers, this is the game to look at. It sharpens your brain and give you the same old stuff packed with all the new glitters to keep you intact.
Dropheads is similar to a game I used to play years back where you are provided with colored coins and x*x matrix and you are required to arrange them in group of four or more. The only drawback which that game used to have was its theme. It failed to attract kids as it had no "instant" fun involved. But with all the colors and soothing music, dropheads is the game to look after. It keeps you eyes glued to the funny falling faces, your mouse running, brain thinking the next move, plus the ears listening to the soothing music.

Dropheads provides you with 2 modes of play. Arcade mode is for the quick thinkers. And the strategy mode gives you the time to think, to feel, to get involved!

The amazing tutorial provides you with every help you could think of one would need and also provides you the option to turn of the tutorial and play the game right away. It installs with just few clicks but does take some time (might be even 3 minutes in some machines, it took 20 seconds in mine!) to start. But the wait is worth it, as the interface you get to see is very loving for the kids and the puzzle solvers. Here I do count kids and puzzle lovers together as the game is made for both kind of audiences. The glitters to keep the kids intact and the task to make quick new move keeps the puzzle lovers intact.
The sudden bonuses bring the game back to life just when you start feeling that you will be greeted with the "Game Over" banner soon!
Conclusion:
Overall the game is worth the money and has all the ingredients for a complete timepass. A must see for tetris, colored coin falling game, and puzzle lovers. And it could turn out to be a good game for those parents who want there kids to play games to sharpen his/her brain and not to get indulged in the shooting games which could make him/her violent.

But NOT for those who love violence. And fortunately they would never understand the reasons why others love such games.

Developing games which relate to blockbuster movies is a trend and this always seems to help the game. Spiderman was an example and another famous movie has its game programmed, this time in India. India’s biggest gaming portal – Zapak.com, has released ‘Ocean’s 13,’ which is the first game to be developed on the renowned Ocean’s series. While Ocean’s 13 film is slated to hit theatres on June 8, the game is available for download right away exclusively in India on Zapak.com.

The game takes its inspiration from the film itself. It revolves around the plot of the movie. Willy Bank, a brutal casino owner ends up double-crossing one of the original Ocean’s eleven, Reuben Tishkoff, Danny, and that’s when the gang joins hands once again to see if they can break ‘The Bank’ in just three and a half minutes. Play four different casino games - Slots, Blackjack, Texas Hold’em Poker and Roulette, gambling your way from start to finish.

Ocean’s 13 has four different casino games, Slots, Blackjack, Texas Hold’em Poker and Roulette. Players get to choose your favorite member of the team as you start with a $10,000 credit. There are spaces on the game board and each space on the board is worth $10,000. One by one, you play all the four games. For every $10,000 you make at the Bank, you are allowed to move forward one space on the board. But if you lose in the games, then your money is lost and you must move back one space for every $10,000 you gamble.

Rules to be followed whilst playing Ocean’s 13 game are:

Web 2.0 has brought with itself too many lawsuit infringements. Youtube takes the lead with many companies taking there turns to sue it for videos which Youtube should not have on its website. It seems a nice way to earn money.

This time its Church of England sues Sony over the use of Manchester Cathedral as the backdrop to Resistance: Fall of Man, a PlayStation 3 game "in which hundreds are killed during a virtual shoot-out inside the Cathedral".

The Church says Sony didn't ask for permission to use the cathedral and has demanded an apology and the removal of the game from shop shelves - otherwise legal action will be considered. Now that's a big ask, especially as it's one of PS3's biggest sellers. Sony has not returned calls to officials from the Church. Sony has also been branded "irresponsible" for choosing Manchester. Bishop of Manchester, the Rt Rev Nigel McCulloch, said: "It is well known that Manchester has a gun crime problem. For a global manufacturer to re-create one of our great Cathedrals with photo-realistic quality and then encourage people to have guns battles in the building is beyond belief and highly irresponsible."

ITV concluded by saying that during the game "players are asked to assume the role of an army sergeant and win a battle" and that screenshots show the interior of the Cathedral "with the player's gun ready to fight; soldiers can be seen elsewhere in the nave taking aim".

Can You Predict Youtube's Age

Your parents keep bumping you every now and then to stop playing games? Hey, they are your parents man. They care for you. REALLY? Then tell them that playing games can actually improve your vision.

Researchers at the University of Rochester have shown that people who played action video games for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved by about 20 percent in their ability to identify letters presented in clutter.

"Action video game play changes the way our brains process visual information," says Daphne Bavelier, professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester. "After just 30 hours, players showed a substantial increase in the spatial resolution of their vision, meaning they could see figures like those on an eye chart more clearly, even when other symbols crowded in."

Bavelier graduate student Shawn Green did this test on student who had rarely played any video games. They were then trained for a period of 30 days. Students were divided into two groups. The experimental group played Unreal Tournament, a first-person shoot-'em-up action game, for roughly an hour a day. The control group played Tetris, a game equally demanding in terms of motor control, but visually less complex.

After about a month of near-daily gaming, the Tetris players showed no improvement on the test, but the Unreal Tournament players could tell which way the "T" was pointing much more easily than they had just a month earlier.

So next time your parents stop you from playing games, ask them to read this article and request them to join you for improved eyesight.
