Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne

As its expansion, Frozen Throne starts where the original Warcraft 3 ended. New features: somewhat new race (the somewhat refers to the fact that they are not considered a race to be played in multiplayer, but they appear throughout the singleplayer); the Naga - an aquatic race that can move through deep and build on shallow water. Their hero is however featured in multiplayer through another new feature: hireable heros! Several new heros are available to purchase during multiplayer, such as the Naga Sea Witch, the Pitlord and 3 more. Each race also has a new hero, as well as new units. As far as expansions go, this one is really good. Though the price is high now, it will eventually decrease. The campaign is fun, but hard. Out of 11 spears, Frozen Throne earns itself 8 guns, because guns work better than crappy spears.

Tetris

This is an easy game. There are shapes made up of 4 blocks each. The shapes fall, and you are supposed to arrange them so that they form lines across the screen. Once a line is formed, it disappears. You lose when you can't put the falling blocks anywhere, and they are up too high. It's a fun game it recieves 10¼ out of 11 blocks in shapes of 4.

Sub-Profiles

Do you know what a sub-profile is? It's a link to a website of sorts in your aim profile. They add extra space to your profile, and allow for many features. The downside is that you have to access a website to edit them, which takes extra time. It also takes a lot longer to make/edit sub-profiles. Overall, Sub-Profiles get 5 emoticons out of 11, because it takes too long to edit and it's almost not even worth it.

Mafia
This is a great game. It is much like GTA III, except it has an interesting story line and historical accuracy. In this game, you are a mobster in the 1930s' and must complete missions using historical guns and vehicles. Like GTA, you have total freedom to travel around the vast world. This is one you must check out. I know its for PC, and I think PS2 as well.

Jesse on Ewoks: (cute * (smart + little) )^(hard to ketch) = ewoks kicking ass

Paul on wookies: (brute force + utility belt) = certain death for ewok and those medling kids

In minnesota there are three definite things, death, taxes (a lot of them), and hockey. While the first two are pretty much self explanitory, the third is so intertwined in our psyche, that we are renowned for it. There's a reason why we've got the most youth hockey teams in the nation. There's a reason why we sell out nearly every game. We've got something damn special in Minnesota Hockey, and we showed it by taking on big money sports, shuting down the Avalanche, and proving that the key to winning is the passion and not the money. God bless the state of Hockey.

For those unaware, SmarterChild is a robot on aim, who talks. You can talk to it, and it has several features. When it talks back, its responses are often very dry. On the plus side, there are many features like traslators, and conversions. These could probably come very handy. Overall, SmarterChild gets 9/11 buddy icons, cause its fun to talk to when you're lonely at night :C.

Tank Wars

If every game could kick this much ass the world would be a better place. It's free, involves driving heavy machinery, and high explosives. Head to www.shockwave.com/sw/content/tankwars and check it out. And with this war in Iraq, who said mindless entertainment can't be educational.
