How to Win at Monopoly ® - a Surefire Strategy
by Tim Darling (email) - November, 2007. "Why would a man push a car that he doesn’t own to a hotel that he’s not staying at?" I’m a big Monopoly fan and I recently saw a great website that did something I’ve always wanted to do: calculate how long it takes to return your investment in the various properties and houses/hotel purchases. Knowing this is really the key to developing a strategy to win the game.That’s right! Pit your new game against its peers with our weekly and monthly contests .

(Also, is Nolan North , who voiced Drake, the video-game industry's Will Smith? In addition to Uncharted, he did the leads for the summer hit Shadow Complex and last month's Assassin's Creed 2. I'm pitching North as the new voice for the video-game blockbuster.) I love my other favorite game of 2009 for the exact opposite reasons. Developed on a miniscule budget as part of the Experimental Gameplay Project , Canabalt is a much-needed retort to long, expensive, graphically complex games like Uncharted 2.

Dogs and worms dominate the latest edition of Mobile Monday, an entirely unintended coincidence, we assure you! To balance out the slight "ew" factor, have a taste of a cute robot and a new game from the creators of Angry Birds. That should balance things out nicely!
BASEBALL ADVANCE (GBA) FAQ/Guide by King_Lueshi Sooo... This is an FAQ/Guide for Baseball Advance for the Game Boy Advance. Baseball Advance is a suprisingly good baseball game developed by Smilebit and published by Sega. Even though it is basically universally considered to be the best baseball game on the GBA, there was sadly only one version ever made, while inferior series like High Heat and All-Star Baseball lived on.

Continuity
Continuity 2 is the sequel to the award-winning Continuity, which won Best Student Game at the 2010 Independent Games Festival and the Gameplay Innovation Award at IndieCade 2010. Continuity has been played online over 6 million times. Continuity 2 is a puzzle game in which the world is drawn onto tiles. You must rearrange the tiles to be able to move the character through each level, collect the key and unlock the door. Watch the video below; it’ll make sense.The rule is simple: Three cards are a set if, in each of a card's features (shape, color, fill, and count) every card matches the others, or no cards match each other. There are 6 such sets in the cards above; can you find them all? This implementation takes its inspiration from the game of Set produced by Set Enterprises . And thanks to Andrea for getting me hooked introducing me to Set. If you have any comments, suggestions, etc., please contact me here.

Inventing card games is one of my favourite recreations. It's a relaxing hobby: it means I can think up the basic ideas without having to get out of bed - or even, if I'm very lucky, without having to wake up - which is more than you can say for actually playing cards. My idea of a good game is one that uses an ordinary 52-card pack and has very simple rules, but gives you plenty to think about. If you find that idea appealing, just click on the name of the game that you like the sound of and see how you get on with it. Inventing games with ordinary cards is fun but doesn't pay the rent. These games are free, but if you think any of them worthy of recompense and would like to make a donation then clicking on "Thank you!"

The Towers of Hanoi The object of the game is to move all the pieces to one of the other posts. You can only move the pieces one at a time and you are not allowed to place a piece on top of a smaller piece. You can decide how many pieces you want to play with. Play with three or four until you get the hang of it - playing with seven pieces is awesome!

Contrary to what you might think RPS is not simply a game of luck or chance. While it is true that from a mathematical perspective the ‘optimum’ strategy is to play randomly, it still is not a winning strategy for two reasons. First, ‘optimum’ in this case means you should win, lose and draw an equal number of times (hardly a winning strategy over the long term). Second, Humans, try as they might, are terrible at trying to be random, in fact often humans in trying to approximate randomness become quite predictable. So knowing that there is always something motivating your opponent’s actions, there are a couple of tricks and techniques that you can use to tip the balance in your favour.
