Fantasy-my score

May 13, 2008

Yesterday English Premier League finished. I played fantasy football (soccer) in couple of competitions. This is the picture from You The Manager, where the first prize is 100.000 British Pounds. And i would be very lucky that this was definite table. Unfortunately this is from January when i was the first. But at the end i finished 123rd, what is really not bad, from 80.000 different teams.

Cool Online Game-Fruit Frenzy

May 4, 2008

I am playing Fruit Frenzy for an hour and I can not stop! Fruit Frenzy is the most popular online game at uVme. Reports are saying that, from the February, this game has been played more than million times. I am not particularly skillful in this game, but I have to confess it is very cool online game. My best score is 546.610. Huh not so impressive if I have in mind that I have been beaten by scores of 800.000 and 900.000.

The aim of the Fruit Frenzy game is to score more points than your opponent. Wow, what an aim. Ok, ok…. by creating combination of three or more related fruits in a row (either horizontally or vertically). Now you get it.

You swap two fruits and that way you are finding combination to sink ice cubes. Make multiple combination to receive bonus scores. See 30 sec video.

You see, by cleaning the board of all ‘ice blocks’ (‘frosted’ fruit squares) you are proceeding to the next level of this game.

Off course, you have to be fast. Andale! Andale! Arriba! Arriba!
So, watch the timer. You have less time to clean the board as levels advance! At the video clip you can see that this game is easy and simple, but as well enjoyable and addictive.

Back to the game basic summary:

* Swap any two fruits on the board to create combinations of three or more related fruits.
* Clean all ‘ice blocks’ to continue to the next level.
* Close the level ahead time runs out.
* Final game score is aggregation of created combining and time bonus.

You can choose to play as a free online game or make it more interesting – take challenge for small amount of money (from half to 4 dollars). The winner is taking the prize. I am inviting you to play free online games here or even to play for prizes.

Casual Gaming is leading the battle!

April 21, 2008

I am actually a little bit surprised. The popularity of Social Networking is tremendous. And video sites where You Tube is a leader, but there are many other video sharing sites, are also rising rapidly. But this trend with casual gaming is a little bit surprise for me. Even if I play games online and I know their magic, I didn’t expect that casual games are more popular than above mentioned trends.

At developmag online games related site, you can find briefly report from the AdverGame network exposing states that “34 per cent of US Internet households play online games on a weekly basis, compared to the 29 per cent who watch short online videos and 19 per cent who visit social networking sites with the same frequency.“

Only, I am not sure is the same trend outside of the America.

great casual games

The Worst Fantasy Football I Ever Played

March 11, 2008

The British Newspaper and web portal SUN, has started a new Fantasy Football Manager Game. I know that in USA Fantasy sports are very popular, but here I am talking about soccer, not American football. And of course, i play English Premier Fantasy. I can not imagine to play some other league … maybe Champions League. For those who don’t know what i am talking, it’s the game where you select football players, and you score points for their performance in real life. For instance, if the player you select score goal you get 6 points, if he make assist you get 2 points, etc, etc… And in most cases Fantasy Games are season games, played from August, to the end of season until May. You select your team for 5£ and manage the team with substitutions to the end of season. The prizes can be really high, as 100.000£ (British Pounds) for first prize in games run by Mirror or Sun. There are the other competitions, where participation is free, but prises are much lower.

What stink in New Sun Fantasy Game? First it’s weekend game. You select team and how the team perform for the weekend, you can get cash prize. Ok, its not so bad, actually it can be fun, although I think the best is when you run the team the whole season, competing for monthly and overall prizes. But, now I am going to the point….according that I am playing Sun season game, I am getting emails from them, so I have been informed about the start of new game. And they are saying 20.000£ first prize, one team cost 2 £ and you can have as many teams as you like. I said, lets have fun, lets try the game. I registered, took one team for 2 £, look in fixtures and injury table, what I always do when i am changing something in Fantasy game, and i went on menu to select my team. And there was big surprise. There was some stupid fantasy football animation figure with name Ron, who selected 15 players for me, and i am able to change only 3 players! I couldn’t believe! To select only tree players, and they are calling that Fantasy Manager. Its like someone select the team for sir Alex Ferguson, and says him “Hey Alex, buddy, you can change only 3 players”….Stupid Ron, stupid Game!

Yes the prizes are high, but the form of the game is the worst I ever seen, and I have played many fantasy games run by different hosts. Stupid Ron, stupid game!
