Games provide hours of fun and pleasure but they can become addictive which isn’t the best thing. Most games have some level of skill and luck involved with their play but all should be enjoyable.
The first game that most of us start with is the simple card game Snap, we then graduate to other card games, puzzles, board games and computer games. Or we may like to play physical games like football, rugby and cricket. My personal favourite physical game is Snooker but I also enjoy the odd game of Pool.
You can learn from games, my father taught me to think one or two steps ahead when we played Snooker. That was learning about strategy and consequences of your actions. The worlds most popular board game Scrabble teaches you how to spell.
I read that the worlds first graphical computer game was created in 1952 – can you believe that? The inventor was A. S. Douglas and it was a version of Tic-Tac-Toe. ‘The game was programmed on a EDSAC vaccuum-tube computer, which had a cathode ray tube display.’
It doesn’t matter how old you are to enjoy games and puzzles. Youngsters learn to count through games and interact with other children in their play. Older folks use games to keep their minds active besides enjoyment. I love games!!

When I played the first part of the SOCOM PSP versions I was amazed about the quality of this tiny handheld. The first SOCOM package included the headset which worked great. Now there is another SOCOM that is even better, I personally think the best of the three PSP versions made.
After a lot of years of developing and a lot of games in the SOCOM-serie, Fireteam Bravo 3 finally arived. I personally think the SOCOM series are the best action games on the PSP, because of it’s easy menu and nice maps and graphics. More difficulty is to be found in the gameplay with the joy-stick. In the SOCOM you have to complete 14 missions with a lot of different enemies. To assault this enemies you can choose out of 40 different weapons!

Graphically, Skies of Arcadia is surreal and stunning. Arcadia is a magical world where folks float through the air on giant airships.

While touching down on the Valuan Empire one fateful day, Vyse and his sidekick Aika rescue a mysterious girl named Fina, who was captured while trying to find six magic crystals used to summon “Gigas,” powerful ancient weapons. Naturally, the Valuans want the Gigas for their own malevolent political plans, so Vyse, Aika, and Fina set out to find the precious, scattered crystals and fight enemies… More >>
