There are different types of games out there such as Shooter games, Racing games, Party Games, and Adventure games. The game that I'll be talking about will be Strategy games. I feel that I could say that these are my favorite kinds of games. Although I'm not too great at Chess, when I play other games that involve strategy like Fire Emblem or Advanced Wars, I seem to play fairly well. These types of games don't really concentrate on simply just running around and hack slashing you way through your enemies or stealing cars and killing people for more money. These games require a little more thinking to make sure that you finish the missions.
In games like Fire Emblem and Advanced Wars, there is a particular way you have to move. The entire map in a grid format and each unit has a certain amount of spaces they can move. After moving, if they can, they can perform certain actions like attacking, healing, or even talking to fellow units. If you're not careful in your choices, there could be dire consequences such as the death of some of your characters and they may not be able to return at all.
If you ever feel like playing a different kind of game than what's all over the mainstream, try picking up one of these strategy games. The two series that I mentioned are some of the more popular strategy games and I have to say that I've enjoyed playing them both.
Game for the mind?
The all knowing Genie.
If you're ever bored and need to kill some time then this site might catch your interest. the URL is http://en.akinator.com/# and it's quite the interesting site. To make things simple it's basically a game of 20 questions and the Genie, Akinator, has to figure out the fictional or non-fictional character that you're thinking of. It seems like it would get boring after a while but when I tried it, time started flying by like nothing. What really hooked me was how it guess my characters with ease. At first I had some character in mind that I thought he would never have guessed but it seems that I've underestimated this mind reading genie.
What really amazes me is that sometimes the question he would ask would hold no relation to the person you're thinking of but when he gives his guess, he would guess the right character. Also, if you're trying to pull a fast one over him like answering "no" to all his question, his guess would be "Someone who pressed no to all question just to see what would happen." When I saw that, it amused me greatly.
If you want to figure out ways to really stump Akinator, you should try thinking of obscure characters or characters who share a lot of similarities with other characters. When I tried to beat him I thought of different Pokémon. Also, I tried thinking of some of my friends since they couldn't possibly be in his database. Although they weren't in the database, he did guess "a dear friend" or "a good friend" so he still technically guessed right.
When you finish the round with him he asks you if he's right or wrong. If he's right, he smiles with glee but if he's wrong he asks you for who it really was. When you type in who it really is, it'll help him guess that character if someone else ever thinks of that same character.
All in all, it's a really fun site and you should check it out. It might surprise you how many times he'll guess who you're thinking of.
