The makers of the extremely popular Maple Story are currently having a closed beta test of Fantasy Life: Mabinogi. I have the NDA on the actual beta test, so I can't talk about it that way, but they want to promote the upcoming game publically with a trailer. The trailer shows many different battles and situations for the game, and the 3D gaming aspect shown in the trailer makes it more impressive than Maple Story. (Full disclosure department: this embedded trailer enters me into a contest!)

I have finally finished the first 700 deals of the MS Freecell.  I was a lot less eager to finish.  I discovered that if you do not finish a deal the first time, move on.  What you know hurts your chances, because it didn't work the first time.  Then, if the deal continues to be trouble I take the following tactic:

1) Start with the left column.

2) Dump as many (hopefully ALL) cards in that column by either building on other column or using the cells.

3) If you're not blocked, try to finish.

4) If you get blocked, repeat with rows 2 thru 8.

This is not exactly a review, because I haven't played it long enough. I can say that I'm really impressed by this game. All Spanish words are pronounced in the game. You can record and playback your voice with the Spanish coach. The games are pretty effective, too. So far, I have played multiple choice vocabulary quiz, the whack-a-mole game, and the word search. There are many more games to unlock. According to the game, it has about 10,000 words and 700 phrases. It is also a English-Spanish translator. That is significant.

Pssst! Hey, kid! Do you want to race forever? Trackmania United (PC)is the latest in a series of games specifically built to do just that. Despite the screenshots, the game is not a driving simulator like Gran Turismo or Forza. It is arcade racing at it's best.
