Who knew one would get the license to run in the temple!

If you own an Apple operating software device or maybe an Android (which is anyways very common these days), then you are surely to be a lucky guy. Temple Run is sure to keep you addicted all day long and this new game which has released lately has just won a million hearts. I can vouch for the fact that for most, once you start playing the game you will surely not let go of it. There is no limit in the game, no end to it and as you keep progressing it just gets better and better.

The game is not at all complicated; you have a structure built in the form of a temple where you are the sole runner there. You will be faced with a lot many obstacles on the way, broken roads, no end roads etc. On the other hand you will have gold coins which you will have to keep collecting as you pass by. The rule is simple, the more coins you collect and the further you go, the more points you score.

You can now build castles in the air – The Age of Empires are here

For all those who believed that building castles in the air is not at all possible and were a distant reality and just a dream to come to you only at night, think again. The Age of Empires is here to excite all of you. The Age of Empires online is the new version of the game Age of Empires and is nowhere close to it. It has a very distinct departure in the sense that it has a more strategic game play behind it and is much more cartoony and colorful. The game has not decreased in its complexity at all.

The baseline of the game is more or less the same – You build up a city of your own choice with buildings, hotels, architectural structures and so on and so forth as you dream of your city to be. Then you have neighbors (who are actually your competitors over here. They keep giving you certain task and challenges that you need to complete within a particular period of time with some task being to destroy their empire and certain buildings. The whole motive of the game is to balance your economy well and to complete the give task in time to give you added advantages.

Check out the Day of Defeat: It’s worth the Game

Day of Defeat (DOD) may seem identical and a grade-2 version to Counter-Strike (CS) to all those superficial multi-players out there. Yes, they are superficial because Day of Defeat is a hell lot better than Counter-Strike and it’s worth the money and the game.

It is a fact that DOD and CS are both made with the Source engine so they may seem a bit similar. But DOD dates back to the World War II unlike CS which uses a more modern set of tactics and weapons and ammunitions and this makes it look like a modern operation, not the conventional war-effect that can be obtained in DOD. 

The reason DOD can be rated to be better than CS is that it has a planned approach through maps. Some of the maps lead to only the snipers taking over but there are a lot of corners, rooms and open spaces. A knife or a shovel, however, can make the hearts of the snipers beat faster. You never when they are being showered. So the thrill is at its best.

An Overview on Mario 9: The Pros and Cons

The recently launched Mario 9 looks flashy with the appearance of the very own Mario and Luigi which has changed, but inside, as one goes deeper into it, the things are still much the same. The changes are very superficial and that doesn’t quite entice the player to stay on board for quite a long time.

The series of themed board games still remains.

Collecting the mini stars is the main goal of the game. As usual as before, the luck factor has to work very strong to keep the brothers going. The mini games and the themed board games both help to increase the mini star account. However, it is the mini ventures that will make the player happier. Catching thrown hula hoops, a variety of vehicles chase or leaping across moving platforms help to add mini stars. The game includes memory games, jigsaw puzzles, and pattern-recognition tests as interactive sessions. The mini games come in for free. Sometimes there are team players as well and the captain has to fight them. The thrill is experienced when you can dodge the three friends who are out there to kill you and take your life, a several times.
