Yet another SUDOKU Online

Have you tried sudoku yet? I have to warn you, it’s gonna addict you as all those who read this site MUST know by now as this is the third online link I have posted.
The idea, in case you didn’t know, is to fill a nine by nine square that is, itself, divided into three by three squares. So you end up with three rows of squares, and three columns.
Now's where it gets dicey. You have to fill in each 3x3 square with the numbers 1 through 9. Each number must appear ONCE in each row across, and ONCE in each column up and down.

Some of the numbers are filled in for you already. You fill in the rest.

Trust me, it's challenging. And it's also addictive!

Sudoku Rules

The puzzle is most frequently a 9x9 grid made up of 3x3 regions. Some cells already contain numbers, known as "givens".

The goal is to fill in the empty cells, one number in each, so that each column, row, and region contains the numbers 1-9 exactly once.

Each number in the solution therefore occurs only once in each of three "directions", hence the "single numbers" implied by the puzzle's name.

Guess what just turned 34?

Posted by Paul Buchheit, Gmail Engineer

It's difficult to pin down the exact origin of email, but in October 1971, an engineer named Ray Tomlinson chose the '@' symbol for email addresses and wrote software to send the first network email.

At the time, it must not have seemed very important – nobody bothered to save that first message or even record the exact date. I've always thought that it would be fun to witness a little bit of history like that – to be there when something important happened. That's part of what drove me to join a little no-name startup named Google, and it's why I was excited when I was given a chance to create a new email product, now called Gmail.

PlayFreeGamesArcade

Would . . .you . . . like . . . to . . . play . . . a . . . game?”

The famous line from the 80’s classic film War Games said a lot about human nature. Twenty-something years later, what do we do with our computers? Play games, of course!

PlayFreeGamesArcade.

Its name says it all. There are hundreds of games here available for you to play online absolutely free! You’ll need Flash, but other than that, most any OS or browser should work. I’m an avid FireFox user, and everything I tried performed flawlessly with it.

The site is well organized according to game genres. For instance, if you like flying games of various flavors, these are grouped. They range from fighter planes to bone-dropping birds to landing balloons safely.

Perhaps adventure games are more your flavor? Then try any of the dozens of Batman games, including Batman Crime Wave, Batman in Cobblebot Caper, or Batman’s Gotham Dark Night. There are more heroes here than the Caped Crusader, though. For instance, try getting Space Dude past the monsters and get him back to his home planet.

I know, I know, you love arcade games. Never fear! You have your choice of 135 arcade games like Atomic Pong, Cannon Commander, Homer’s Beer Run, Monkey Cliff Diving, etc. etc.

Personally, I prefer the puzzle games. In fact, I’m a mah-jongg addict! I could spend hours on Flash Tile alone. It’s way cool! As you defeat layouts, it moves you on to tougher and tougher ones.

Mario Forever

This clone of Nintendo's flagship title Super Mario Brothers faithfully reconstructs the classic gameplay that made this such a massive hit in the 1980s.

You play Mario, the mustachioed plumber and unlikely hero, whose mission is to save the life of his long lost love.

The rules are simple: progress through the increasingly difficult and bizarre levels, collecting as many coins as you can while killing any turtles or malicious mushrooms that get in your way.

This kind of 2D platform gaming is never going to be ground-breaking, but the classic gameplay still prevails.

With gaming now placing a heavier emphasis on beautifully rendered landscapes and jaw-dropping graphics, Mario Forever at least reminds us that classic gameplay was once a necessity rather than an afterthought.

Webracer

.1. In Webracer you drive the red car and your challenge is to set the fastest time while beating the opposing race cars. A race consists of two tracks with 3 laps each. You have to finish as number one on the first track to qualify for the second track
2. You control the car with your keyboard. Up arrow to accelerate, Down arrow to break. Left arrow for left turn and Right arrow for right turn. With the Space Bar you can activate the Turbo Boost.
3. Avoid touching the other cars as this causes you to lose valuable speed. On each track there are 3 Turbo Boost placed on the track. Drive over them to collect them and use them when you need to add some extra speed to your car to overtake an opponent or catch up in a hurry

Scorched 3D

Scorched 3D is a game based loosely (or actually quite heavily now) on the classic DOS game Scorched Earth "The Mother Of All Games". Scorched 3D adds amongst other new features a 3D island environment and LAN and internet play. Scorched 3D is totally free and is available for both Microsoft Windows and Unix (Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris etc.) operating systems.
You can pick up the game and begin playing very quickly. Then, when/if you are interested, you can poke in the dimmer recesses of the game and get into the strategy (or just ignore it altogether!).

At its lowest level, Scorched 3D is just an artillery game with two+ tanks taking turns to destroy opponents in an arena. Choose the angle, direction and power of each shot, launch your weapon, and try to blow up other tanks. That's basically it.

But Scorched 3D can be a lot more complex than that, if you want it to be. You can earn money from successful battles and use it to invest in additional weapons and accessories. You can play with up to twenty four other players at a time, mixing computer players with humans. There's a variety of changing environmental conditions and terrains to be dealt with. After the end of each round (which ends when everybody dies or there's only one person left), you get to buy stuff using the prize money you won from previous matches.
" The venerable artillery-style slug-match gets a 3D update with Scorched3D, a very addictive and nicely rendered turn-based game. 5 Stars. "
(Review of Scorched 3D at CNET Download.com)

Moraff's UltraBlast

Remember Breakout, where you had your paddle at the bottom of the screen, and the goal was to hit the bouncing ball to knock out all of the bricks? This game starts off with that general idea, then adds more challenging aspects, from fast moving balls to blocks with teeth that eat your paddle. You can change the backgrounds and sounds, as well. This game is free, but upon leaving the program you'll see a promo screen for the developer's game CD-ROM.


PLEASE NOTE F1 Gets you to the help menu and F9 gets you out of the game via another demo game. Highly recommended

Also if you like this game then just go to the web site of the developers to find plenty more downloadable games

Video Game Cheats Wiki

Video game cheats can greatly enhance the entertainment value of a particular game. It’s fun to break away from the ordinary and enjoy the goofiness that the game developers included with the title. Most video game cheat sites are closed off to you, the player. You can browse through their listing of codes, but you’re not really benefiting from the knowledge of the community of gamers. A site called Video Game Cheats Wiki allows anyone that wants to add their very own tips and tricks to do so.

Following the ideals of a Wiki, this site puts the content control in the hands of its visitors. They rely on you to submit your own hints, codes, walkthroughs, and so on. As you’ll see, doing so is ridiculously easy. If you see an explanation or hint that could be improved, go ahead and alter it. There isn’t a lot of action here yet, but once the gaming community gets wind of this, there is sure to be more to look at.
