Assassin's Creed is certainly one of the most impressive and exciting PS3 Games ever developed by Ubisoft. The same team, which created the outstanding and popular Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, spent two years in order to produce this visually stunning, stylish, and very original game. Assassin's Creed offers a whole new level of gaming adventure with its awesome lifelike animation, freer movement of the characters, good graphics and sound, and other special features like you've never seen before in other PS3 Games.
A quick look at Assassin's Creed might remind you of other recent and top rating PS3 Games. For, this game boasts of an incredibly controllable hero and an almost lifelike animation just like the Prince of Persia. Moreover, the game has an astounding medieval setting, a visually stunning lifelike cityscapes, and an open-ended game play that is very similar to that of Oblivion. The ps3 game also reminds us of the Thief series for its resourceful, independent, and inconspicuous hero as well as the anti-medieval-establishment background. Then, the open-ended sandbox world of Assassin's Creed is also comparably with Grand Theft Auto. Amidst certain similarities with other games, Assassin's Creed is still a standout with its surprising twists and it's creative and beautifully designed visual style. All these features add to the uniqueness of the game.
"Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." And so goes the creed of the assassin. These words suggest that anything is possible during the entire game. This exciting and action-packed adventure is set in the late 12th century during the Third Crusade under the leadership of Richard Lionheart. Here, you play as Altair, the fearless and powerful assassin armed with a sword, a wrist blade, and crossbows. The hero is surrounded by aggressive threats in all places and yet he can destroy them all instantly with his fast and cunning counterattacks to his enemies. Assassin's Creed, indeed, is one of the PS3 Games worth playing.
The people's reaction to Altair is another thing, which sets apart Assassin's Creed from the rest of the PS3 Games. While the hero is busy fighting or demonstrating his skills and tactics, you could see the people around visibly frowning or raising their eyebrows as they watch him. A perfect example for this is the scene where Altair attacks a random civilian. As the victim drops to the ground, the villagers stand in shock while others run away from the place screaming.
You might be wondering where the hero's name comes from. Altair is an Arabic word, which means "the flying eagle." Indeed, the developers of the game made sure that the character would really live up to his name. If you want to find out why, just watch Altair's rapid and swift movements each time he faces his opponents. He projects a cool attitude even in the middle of a big fight. Altair is distinct from other heroes in PS3 games with the fact that his movements look so real and good to the players. The game's animation is simply visually stunning and lifelike. Assassin's Creed is truly one of the best PS3 Games ever created by Ubisoft. The whole adventure is worth checking out.

Tips for playing action games online
The genre of the action game can be quite frustrating to play online. This is because most people feel like they should be able to play it.
The genre of the action game can be quite frustrating to play online. This is because most people feel like they should be able to play it. Action games are based off of some of the oldest of the genre. They follow the steps of Donkey Kong to make a linear level with enemies, traps, and puzzles standing in your path. Well, they’ll actually be moving, hiding, or hunting you. You just have to keep some basic tips in mind to kill the monsters and save the princess.
The first thing that you have to remember is that you aren’t invincible. Most games will not make you Rambo. Generally, if an enemy hits you, you die. So, you will need to keep your fingers limber and your eyes steady. Plan out your moves carefully and try to avoid fights when possible. Only attack when you can do so safely. Enemies in action games almost always have some weakness that you can exploit. Try to get below them, above them, behind them, etc. to get in a good position for the quick kill. You must also remember that retreat is an option. If you’re in a bad spot, run away until you can get into a better position.
Second, you don’t have to kill everything. It can be easy for you to forget, but you don’t have to kill all of the enemies. A lot of action games just need you to get to the end of the level. It may be tempting to take out every little monster that gets in your way, but the points don’t always justify the risks. Focus on finishing the level and only kill monsters when it doesn’t risk a life.
Third, keep moving. Action games are meant to be full of action. You don’t need to sit around and wait for an enemy for 5 minutes. Be careful, but seek them out when possible. Time bonuses are worth a lot of points, and losing a level because you ran out of time is a pretty rough experience. Don’t be too much of a perfectionist. Just keep moving towards your goal and work out the problems on the way.
Fourth, don’t forget the bonuses, but don’t overvalue them. It may seem simple, but don’t overvalue the flashing bonus sign. That jewel for 10,000 points might be nice, but don’t kill yourself trying to get it. It is a bonus. It isn’t worth losing the game. This is particularly true for extra lives. Don’t waste two lives to get one back. If you go for an extra life and die, don’t waste another life trying to get the one you lost back. You’ll just end up in a pointless loop. It’s just a quick way to get a game over.
Last but not least, watch your fingers. If you are using keyboard controls, then you are going to want to keep an eye on your hands. In the heat of the moment, you might lose track of your position and accidentally hit the wrong key. Flash games aren’t forgiving either. You hit “jump” instead of “attack” and you’re probably dead. Don’t get obsessed with it, but do keep in mind that your character might be acting weird because you aren’t lined up properly.
These tips are basic, but they should help greatly in your efforts to conquer the fantasy worlds of these online games. Just keep them in mind and have fun!

Tips for a Defense Game
We all know that playing flash games is really fun, but the joy can wear off when you are frantically clicking away at the next wave of invaders.
We all know that playing flash games is really fun, but the joy can wear off when you are frantically clicking away at the next wave of invaders. Far too many monitors have suffered the injustice of a cold fist from an enraged gamer finding themselves utterly defeated after hours of effort. We don’t want this to happen. If you love your monitor as much as you love free flash games, then you should read this series of tips about how to win at strategy defense games.
These tips will refer to strategic defense games that focus more on setting up turrets and defenses that will do all the work for you. There are a few basic things that you should always keep in the back of your mind during the game. Remember basic defense tactics. How did the Spartans win? Basic bottlenecking tactics can allow for you to face rough odds with less than perfect defenses. This can be very helpful at the start of the level when you need to bankroll a little money to afford the good stuff. Bottlenecking is really easy to pull off in all types of defense flash games. If the enemies move along one set path, then you will probably want to set up a cluster of tough defenses in one spot that covers the most space on the path. Placing a turret at a corner or between rows can allow for double the protection at the same price. If you are playing a game where the enemies are just trying to get across the field, then you will want to use your defenses to set the path for them. Make it as long and winding as possible to give you a lot of time in the later levels to pick the tough bosses off.
It may be important for you to also remember the beauty of the KISS rule in your flash game. If you Keep It Simple and Stupid, you may actually do better. When placing defenses, it can be tempting to buy a big variety of the more expensive ones. The problem is that you can’t forget the basic. It doesn’t matter if your enemy is crawling along half-frozen in a wind tunnel with demoralizing music playing, if you don’t have enough cannons spread out to actually damage them. Focusing too much on special effects will probably result in frustration and some emergency selling to throw up another cannon to pick off that last baddie.
In the same breath, you also need to remember to take advantage of upgrades and special effects when necessary. Nothing is more frustrating than watching the boss run through your elaborate defenses as you barely scratch the health bar. A well placed effect turret to slow the invaders can make all the difference. In many cases, it is also worth it to save the extra gold to buy an upgrade instead of another turret. This really depends on the game though.
These tips should help you survive the next wave in your favorite arcade. Just keep these basic ideas in the back of your mind, and your flash gaming experience will remain a good one.

The Yahtzee Game
It was a little over 50 years ago when one of the world’s best games was invented. Yahtzee started out as nothing more than a simple game played between friends, but has now grown to one of the most popular games in the world.
Yahtzee is amazingly simple and yet complex at the same time. The premise is very straightforward. You have five dice in which to roll certain hands that will garner you a score on a score card. These dice need to be made of certain orders or amounts of numbers set up like poker hands. There is a great deal of strategy to Yahtzee, but before you learn the strategy you need to learn the basic rules.
Anyone can play Yahtzee because of the easiness in learning the game. The overall object is to achieve the highest score in 13 hands. Each hand consists of a roll of five dice, a second re-roll, and then a third re-rolls. As the hands are each finished you take the score that you get and record it on a special score card that has an Upper Section and a Lower Section. Each combination of rolls gives the player a certain number of points, and depending on what you rolled, the score will be noted either in the Upper Section or the Lower Section.
The Upper Section is made up of boxes of numbers. You have your Ones, Twos, Threes, Fours, Fives, and Sixes, as well as a bonus box. Your goal is to fill in as much of these numbers as possible. For example, you want to get as many Sixes as possible to get the highest score. If you get 63 points in total you get a 35 point bonus. The Lower Section is made up of 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, Full House, Small Straight, Large Straight, Yahtzee and Chance. Each one has a certain number of points attached to it.
The rules are as follows. You roll your five dice. After looking at the dice you decide if you want to keep any of the dice that you see, and re-roll the rest of them. You have a huge amount of flexibility as to which of the dice you keep, if any, and which you want to re-roll. When it comes to re-rolls there are two subsequent rules. You can either keep any of the dice you want before you re-roll, or you can keep all of the dice and stop at any point. You do not need to re-roll if at any time you get the hand that you are looking for.
For example, if you roll a 3-4-4-5-6 on your first roll you may decide that all you need is the Small Straight so you do not roll any more. However, if you need a Large Straight, you may put the 4 back into the cup and re-roll two more times to see if you can get the Large Straight. It is not mandatory to use all three dice rolls, but if you need to then you have that option. To reiterate, you can stop after the initial roll, the second roll, or you may continue till you have exhausted all three rolls.
Essentially that is the entire game. Your whole premise is to make the hands that correspond with the scorecard. The more hands you make, the more points you get. At the end of the game you tally up the points and whoever has the most points wins.

Powerful and futuristic the Xbox360 includes HD gaming, perfect sound, and sensational graphics. The system offers high-end gaming with several exciting possibilities.

It is what makes dreams into realities.
The Xbox360 has around 18 titles in the US including games like Call of Duty 2, Dead or Alive 4, Every Party, FIFA 06, NBA live, Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero, and Project Gotham Racing 3. Technically, it has advanced graphics and a 115 GFLOPS theoretical peak performance. All games support a six channel Dolby Digital Sound with no voice echo.
Apart from video and DVD playing the X box 360 live market place allows the user to connect to Xbox live even if offline. Users can view messages and game invites sent by other Xbox live members. The live market place allows download of avatars, trailers, as well as game demos.
With the Xbox360 a person can view a complete record of games played, play games downloaded from marketplace, play game demos, watch movie as well as game trailers, listen to music customized for the user, view pictures as well as videos stored on a camera or any other portable device, and activate the media center extender.

The world of computer gaming, high-stakes and intense competition
The world of gaming online is ever changing. From being a hobby it has become a competition where money plays a role.
Multiplayer games and tournaments are now offering cash prizes, adding to the thrill of competing. To participate, a valid credit card or paypal account is required. And, a player must live in a state or country that has no laws against online gaming for money. Sites which promote such activities are: www.worldwinner.com and www.arkadium.com
Gaming leagues are becoming professional and organize competitions where cash prizes are worth over US$ 100,000 in cash. These events are seen as business and marketing development opportunities. Hardware manufacturing giants like Intel sponsor gaming clans and see gaming world-wide as a profitable avenue for promoting their products. High-stake gaming competitions are popular, but the real fights occur behind the scenes, where companies spend millions trying to get their technology directly into the hands of gamers
Professional gaming has taken the world by storm and, LAN competitions are high-stake tournaments with a few gamers earning a living just competing. A professional gamer with a sponsorship plan in place can earn up to US$ 500,000 per year. Cyberathlete, Professional League, Gamecaster, Global gaming League, are some of the organizations that host competitions. The first professional gaming league was set up in 1997 and today the competitions are not just televised but covered by major publications and newspapers. MTV, CNN,ESPN, USA Network, ABC World News Today, FOX, WB and others telecast the events live.
Gamers from all walks of life train intensely to become virtual world champions, winning brings fame, money, as well as recognition. And, since 2001 The World Cyber Games are held in a different country each year. The prize in 2004 was worth US$ 400, 000 and competitors played: FIFA Soccer 2004, Need for Speed, Underground, Star-Craft, Brood War, Unreal Tournament 2004, Dawn of war, Dead or Alive Ultimate, and Halo 2.
Gaming is serious; it is about quick thinking, intense practice, team work, interaction with other players, and understanding technology at its best. Gamers have to be on their toes, keep abreast with new launches, changes, patches, cheats, and more.
According to online gaming expert Psychologist Professor Mark Griffiths, “online gaming addiction for a small minority is a real phenomenon and people suffer the same symptoms as traditional addictions. They are the types of games that completely engross the player. They are not games that you can play for 20 minutes and stop. If you are going to take it seriously, you have to spend time doing it”
That gaming is taken seriously is confirmed, many major colleges are offering minor as well as major courses in game design, animation, cognition and gaming, computer music, psychology of play and more.
