This is a genre that you don't take halfass. You don't just “play” Starcraft 2, you become it. And if you're not ready to dominate your opponents, you might as well roll over and go back to your easy mode single player campaign, because nobody's going to carry your butt back.

It's called STARCRAFT 2 SECRETS and it's already blowing away veteran players from around the globe. These guys are tearing out their eyes trying to track down the guy who put it all together. They want to know who's making their lives miserable, giving newbies like you and me the tools to kick their butts back to the lower ladders.

If you're just starting your ascent in Starcraft 2, there is no single tool on the planet that is going to make it easier for you to flat out dominate your opponents - not just beat, but DOMINATE them.

Don't waste time looking for the “perfect” guide. This is it. This is the BEST Starcraft 2 guide. I found it and I'm sharing it with you right now. Get it and start learning the tips you need immediately to take down your opponents once and for all.

Play The Leon Wars Game For Free! Conquer the free lands, Expand your domain and Exterminate the opposition!

The Leon Wars is a game inspired by the Might and Magic turn based strategy game series. It is a free Flash game and is not as indepth as the Might and Magic games, but it is well done and will occupy a few hours of your time.

The tech tree is fairly small, but the game itself isn't very long so you don't need an extensive upgrade tree. Once your units are fully upgraded and at full experience, things get more interesting.

The AI is aggressive and smart enough to kill your healers first. There are two sides you can play the story from and there is enough strategy to give this game some decent replay value.

Give it a try. Play The Leon Wars Game

E3 2009: Modern Warfare 2 Gameplay Preview

---

Very impressive gameplay footage of Modern Warfare 2 from E3 2009.



From IGN's article on their hands on demo of Modern Warfare 2:
"Infinity Ward played a single-player level, and the demo is actually the complete version of the truncated demo shown during Microsoft's press conference on Monday. It's the snow level where you begin having to climb an icy mountain using ice picks before you use silenced weapons equipped with hearbeat sensors to sneak through Russian defenses in order to reach a downed satellite. Eventually, there's a gigantic firefight before you escape on snowmobiles in what can only be described as an intense, madcap pursuit. "

Play Puzzle Core Game For Free

---

Puzzle Core is a new twist on an old game type. It's essentially a Tetris clone except the playing field is split into two sides. On one side the blocks keep coming and you have to eliminate them by matching three or more blocks of the same color before they reach the top of the screen. If they reach the top, they move to the other side of the playing field.

Once they are on the other side of the Puzzle Core field of play, you still have to eliminate the blocks by matching three or more blocks of the same color before they reach the top of the screen again. If a block reaches the top of the second side... Game Over.

It's simple enough to play, but it gets fast paced quick and is pretty hectic. It's fun and a nice change to an old favorite.

Quick Hit Football Takes On Goal Line Blitz

---

The free football MMORPG arena is starting to get crowded. Early last year Goal Line Blitz entered it's beta testing phase (and still has the "beta" tag) and became a "hit' with an estimated agent base of 50,000 people. Since then, the graphics and interface have been improved somewhat. But, the game play for the typical non-owner and non-general manager has mostly remained the same. In other words, they are in trouble if they don't pick up the pace.

With Quick Hit Football getting ready to enter it's beta testing phase soon and a predicted release of September 2009 (just in time for football season), Goal Line Blitz could be in for some real trouble.

Quick Hit Football and Goal Line Blitz are not quite the same in how they played. For the typical person playing for free, Goal Line Blitz is primarily focused on one to three players, but are generally not very busy. People who pay to play tend to focus on running teams or have numerous players to keep them busy. And, a lot of these people think they have to spend too much time to run a team properly.



Quick Hit Football is looking to let every person run their own team and not deal so much with individual players. People will be naming their own teams, creating their own leagues and running their teams how they choose. However, the Quick Hit Football team looks to be keeping things fairly easy to run a team and not be as time intensive as running a team in Goal Line Blitz.

The biggest difference between Goal Line Blitz and Quick Hit Football is going to be the graphics. With Goal Line Blitz you watch 22 colored dots move around on a field and have to rely on text descriptions to see if anything special happens. Needless to say, games tend to be pretty boring to watch.


Quick Hit Football's graphics are shaping up to be superior in all areas. They're not Madden quality, but they beat the dots by a mile. I know graphics don't make the game, but if the Quick Hit Football team are putting the same effort into the game play as they are the graphics, we should be in for a treat.

Goal Line Blitz at first looked very interesting, and was fun for a while, but eventually playing became more like a job and stopped being fun. I'm looking forward to Quick Hit Football's beta test opening up and jumping in to see how things shape up. Hopefully, they will not make the same mistakes Goal Line Blitz has made.
