Online Games- Runescape-With mostly ten thousand people playing, this online game is one of the leading popular games. It is not exactly the most interesting games ever but the main thing is the number of people. You can chat, trade and make tons of new friends from all over the world. The only limitation to the game is our own imagination. There are many life-like quests waiting to be completed. Finish them solo or take help from friends it's up to you.the real experience comes with being a member(need to pay). Get loads of benefits. more quests. And shortcuts all over the game. We can also use magic to fight, heal and teleport. Just copy and paste this in your url box.www.runescape.com or use the link provided.

Medal of Honor:Vanguard(MOH)

MoH is a brilliant game. With stunning Graphics and precise cross hairs for shooting, this game on the Wii is an excellent game.We can literally point at the screen and shoot the enemy. It is incredibly easy to shoot enemy heads off. Throwing grenades has also been enhanced. We just press a button and swing our hand as if we are throwing a real grenade. We can zoom into the enemy if we get a good view and then use iron sight to kill the enemy. Friendly fire is off in normal game mode. The game is easy in the primary level but suddenly becomes a pain with just one step of difficulty. Multi player is very exciting. I usually play in the Square map. That is the perfect map for a shootout.Small with a MP-42, a deadly gun with unlimited ammo and a one hit KO power. Overall Moh is an excellent game which makes good use of the Wii's unique controls

Online Football Manager

It may seem kiddish in the beginning but it is a good online game. In it we can manage our own favorite(not always favorite because the computer decides who gets which team.)We can choose which region we want a team from such as Italy,Britain etc. Then we can select leagues(not real leagues but fantasy ones). We can buy and sell our favorite players from other teams, arrange the tactics, perform training, go on secret camps and many other things.we can do more with a season ticket which we can acquire for only $4.95 for a lifetime membership.Overall it is an excellent game almost like Fifa 08 but we cant play the matches which take at midnight depending which region we select.

The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess(on the Wii)-It is an excellant game with amazing graphics.The objective is to defeat evil userper king Zant and then eventually Ganondorf who frees himself again.On the Wii the nunchuk is your shield and the remote is your sword. Swing the remote, your character swings his sword. The character you play is Human Link and Wolf Link. You turn into wolf Link when the twilight overshadows the light Kingdom of Hyrule. There are way more weapons than any other Zelda game. This game is truly a fabulous experience to play.

Getting stuck? Check out the complete and free Zelda guide.

Miniclip.com- This site has over five hundred games. It is a definite 'must visit'. There are games for everyone. From little infants who like games having objectives like blowing balloons to the destructive teenager who likes to blow helicopters. The main games are-
Club Penguin
Heli Attack 2
Heli Attack 3
Black Knight
And many more
Surprisingly Club Penguin is the most popular game. Though you have to pay to be a member(and get loads of extra benefits)it has occupied the top spot for long. To go to miniclip write www.miniclip.com in your URL box.

diablo_2_wall_254.jpg

Diablo Battlechest-







Diablo I-'Vengence, Power, Intellect and Magic' These are the things which will make brave adventurers and conquer beat the forces of evil. The first game in the thrilling and addictive Diablo mega saga. Stop Diablo from making his dreams reality and controlling and enslaving entire humanity. Go through many quests and finnaly arrive at The Lord Of All Evil, Diablo himself. If youlike blood and killing the game of your dreams is just a drive to the game shop away.



Price-Rs.399 (last time I checked)



Rating- M (mature)



Diablo II- After taking over the body of his conquer, Diablo returns. This time trying to shackle the roots of humanity by releasing the other two prime evils. Mephisto, Lord of Hatred, and Baal ,the last Prime Evil, Bother of Diablo, Lord of Destruction. Meet Diablo face to face again and test your skills this legendary enemy and combat his minions. It takes four acts to finish this game. Finally meet Diablo In the Chaos Sanctuary. There are five character classes now. Amazon(new Rogue), Paladdin(new warrior), Socceress is still there, Necromancer(can raise skeletons) and Barbarians(master of hand to hand combat). The new things are that we can now run making the game much faster. We can also hold two sets of weapons!! And we can shift them around preesing 'w'. The graphics are a hell lot better, and comparable to the warcraft graphics.
Price-Around Rs.600
Rating-M(Mature)

Diablo II Expansion Set Lord of Destruction-This game makes Counter-Strike seem boring. Install this while you are playing Diablo II and see the magic. The whole game changes. With over a thousand new normal, set or rare items this game is definitely vast. Probably the last in the saga(rumours are out that there might be a new one) this is by far the best. It introduces the concept of safely trading(only inside a city). There are two new characters to chose from. Assasins who are trained in the art of killing using stealth and skill. The Druid is the master of the natural world and so can change his form into that of an animal. All items, now, change because of the suffix. Example a Ring of Wrath would increase the minimum damage by minimum 6 and maximum 9 points. But a Ring of Carnage would also increase maximum damage by least 11 and most by 15 points. So if you want to bacome rich collect different items, identify them and then sell them.Deckard Cain now(unlike the first game) identifies items for free!!(after the Cairn Stones quest in Act 1)

Price-around Rs.500

Rating-M(Mature)

Diablo II Ultimate Strategy Guide-This book priced at a whooping $30. This is the second last pice of equipment you need to completely destroy the oncoming forces of evil and darkness.(the last piece being the Diablo II Lord of Destruction Official Strategy Guide).Even though that this book is the biggest help you are going to get in the game. It includes information of all Five Acts. It also has tips on defeating Baal and Diablo.(not for Druid or Asssasin) There are many cool combinations for the Druid and Assasin though.
This book also provides with information about the bosses and how to defeat them with ease. This book could(and has for me) made the difference between death and slewing of a difficult enemy. This book also tells us about the different prefixes and suffixes which change the item.

Command And Conquer Generals

COMMAND AND CONQUER GENERALS: ZERO HOUR

By Shashwat Srivastava

 

A classic expansion to the almost equally brilliant game C & C GENERALS. You can match strategy with 9 enemy commandos. With a great graphic card, this game is as good as real. With an 80 GB computer this game (which takes up more than a GB!) can really make playing it great fun. The requirements are basic so any person with C & C Generals  and over 1 GB of space can play this game. It has 3 armies: GLA, USA and China. Also, it has 3 levels of opponents: Normal, Hard and Brutal. It has campaigns for all armies.

 

Cost: Rs 291 (last time I checked)

 

Made by: Microsoft.

 

This game has 30 new units including the USA’s spectre gunship, GLA’s Battlebus and China’s ECM tank. It has 15 new missions including locating a splinter cell in Cairo and stealing deadly and harmful toxins from an American base. It also has 20 new upgrades.
