Box Keeper

Box Keeper is a very popular and addictive puzzle game. It is a Sokoban implementation in C# for Windows. The player can push the boxes and he should move them to specific locations. Sokoban was created in 1981 by Hiroyuki Imabayashi and since then it is implemented in a plethora of platforms including computers, video game consoles and digital cameras. Solving the levels is challenging but the real challenge is to solve them with the minimum number of moves. Box Keeper v1.0 contains the original 50 levels and their difficulty increases almost based on their order. Theoretically, there is an unlimited undo and redo functionality in Box Keeper to help you save time.

How to fix Firefox – Flash problems

If you are reading this post it means that you are one of us that updated the flash and it stopped working on Firefox. It happened to me several times on different computers and uninstalling, reinstalling both Firefox and Flash player didn’t work, it was still not working. Everything is fine and suddenly, because you updated something now nothing is working, you can’t watch videos online, you can’t play flash games and you can’t visit a flash website. Firefox was, is and will be the web browser of my choice and Flash crashes will not change that.

BubblePop

BubblePop is a fun and addictive bubble pop game to entertain children and at the same time make them smarter. It is a clone of BubbleBurst with added options and colors to help (red-green) colorblind people to distinguish the bubbles. As I watch people playing, I noticed that at first they just click the bubbles but of course unless they are very lucky they fail. The second time they do the same but they are more careful. After few times they create a plan to finish the game successfully. It is not chess but it is a good and funny way to make you think before you act.

Far Cry 3 cheats: GodMode and Unlimited Ammo without trainer

I liked Far Cry very much, the story is very good and it is not only about shooting and killing. It has similar features with Assassin’s Creed like liberating outposts and killing animals to get their skin and use it to craft other objects. In order for you to read this it means that you already played it so I will get to the point. Follow the following simple instructions and you will have God mode and/or unlimited ammo (for PC).

Free Anti-Virus Suite by Baidu

Baidu for those who don’t know is a Chinese search engine, it is called as the Google of Asia. Baidu recently released a free anti-virus suite that will help you to protect your computer by any kind of malware such as viruses, spyware and adware. For a Chinese company we would expect a software in Chinese first and then add support for other languages. The big surprise here is that the anti-virus suite comes only in English. They say it is very fast and light but others are suspicious because it is a product made in China. I don’t believe such company would harm its reputation to release a bad product.

Serious Sam 3 BFE issues and fixes

First of all I would like to say that I don’t support piracy, I am a software engineer and I know how much effort is needed to create a game or a software in general. If you like a game you should purchase it to support its developers. This way you can enjoy future releases of the game you like and love to play. On the other hand, there are many reasons why someone might use a crack. I have met several gamers that don’t use their DVDs to play their games, some told me that they are collectors, some don’t like using the DVD. For any reason, not anyone that uses a crack pirated it, at first it sounded very strange to my ears but now I am one of those people.

M-emo-ry: Pair Memory Game

M-emo-ry is a simple pair memory game where you match emotional emoticons. The purpose of the game is to find all (18) matching pairs. Even though the game is designed for small kids, it is suitable for all ages. We all need to exercise our memory in order to keep our brain highly active. It runs on any system that has .NET Framework 4, Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8, on both 32bit and 64bit versions. M-emo-ry is freeware (you can use it for free) and portable (no installation needed).

Wolfenstein 3D is 20 years old

Happy birthday to Wolfenstein 3D which is now 20 years old. Twenty years ago, 5 May 1992, Wolfenstein 3D was released. It was the first first person shooter (FPS) and this is how the era of FPS games began. It was this game that started it all. To celebrate the 20 years of Wolfenstein 3D they have created a website (source link) where you can play the game (for free) from your browser. It might be a little difficult to play (for those that never played it) but just keep in mind that it is a DOS game that was released in 1992. If you don’t even know DOS (and no, we don’t mean Denial of Service here) then you are too young or too ignorant and please leave this page immediately. For those about to play the game, we salute you.

Computer Software and Casino Games

Since the beginning of the Internet we have seen the number of casinos providing online games increasing very fast. Online casinos will keep increase in numbers because Internet users like to gamble and they do it in the comfort of their home. Online casino games are created using several technologies including Java applets, Flash, HTML5 and native computer programs connecting to a casino server. There are casino games created in almost any programming language available. Programmers are choosing to develop casino games for several reasons, one of them is that because are very popular and a second one is because they strictly follow specific rules.
