Free computer games
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 31 2010, in the categories: gaming
The internet is a huge network that is spread in all the countries of the world and which is used by billions of people every day. They are using it for all sorts of activities. Some people use it for their jobs, others to search for information, others to communicate with friends and meet new people and some use it for fun. And one of the many methods of having fun on the internet is to play a free computer game.
There are thousands of them online, and they have all sorts of interesting topics and characters. And we are talking here about the free online games of course. They have quite simple graphics compared to the other complex video games, but they can be quite very fun to play. They also have simple controls, and they don’t last for so long like other games. There are many sites with these kind of games and one of the best of them is miniclip.com .
The site is famous all over the world, and that’s why it is available in many languages such as: English, French, German, Italian, Romanian, Chinese, Japanese and others. The site is so famous because it is offering a lot of cool games, with quite a good graphic. If you browse a little lower on the page, you will see the alphabetical list with all of the games. But you can also choose a game depending on its category. And here are just some of the game categories from the site: 3 D, action games, dancing and shows, education, girls, Halloween, kids, learning, MMO, Motorsports, multiplayer, political, puzzle, racing, sports, shooters, winter and others.
So now let’s discuss about a random one and we’ll choose the really cool game called “Exterme Pamplona”. This is a fun game which is inspired by the races that take place in Pamplona, in Spain. Each year the locals of this town release bulls on the streets, and the people that take place in this “race” have to run as fast as they can, and don’t get caught by the angry running bulls. So this is the main idea of this game – you have to run away and don’t allow the angry bull to get you. But only in the first level you will be in Spain, and then you will run in all sorts of interesting locations such as: Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, France, and many other countries. The game has really simple controls, and all you need to do is to press the right arrow key and keep it pressed all the time to run, and also use the up arrow key to jump over obstacles. There will be all sorts of obstacles, depending on the country where you are. For example in Spain the obstacles will be fences, wooden boxes, or stands with fruits. Jump over them as fast as possible, without letting the bull get you.
The decorations will change from one level to another, and also the enemy that follows you. Only in Spain you will be chased by a bull, and in Germany you will be chased by a blonde lady with beers in her hands. Most of the obstacles from this level are also barrels of beer. In Great Britain you will be chased by an English policeman and you will run on a construction site. There are quite many levels where you can run, and they will get more and more complicated. In Russia you will be chased by a Russian warrior that has a sword in his hand and a big hat on his head. Unfortunately we weren’t able to complete the level from Russia, and tell you more about the other ones. So in case you did completed this level, tell us more about the levels that are coming ahead. Have fun and enjoy this cool and also free computer game.
And now let’s see one more game from this site, for example the Obama Alien Defense. As you can already figure it out from the name, this is a game with the famous president of the United States of America - Barrack Obama. You will play with this character, and you will have to defend the earth that is being under attack by aliens. Simply use the arrow keys to move Obama left and right and press the Z key to shoot the aliens. Along your way you also have to collect coins and pick up new weapons when you find them. When you reach and raise the flag of the United States you will save your progress. Barrack Obama looks quite interesting in this game, like you never seen him before – with his clothes ripped off and with big muscles.
The graphic of the game is quite simple but nice, and both the president and the aliens are looking ok. Make sure to shoot the aliens right after you spot them , otherwise they will shoot you first. As you advance in the game you will collect more powerful weapons, but the aliens will also be stronger. Raising flags will be really helpful, because that means if you die you can start the game from where you had left, and don’t start it from the beginning of the level. So have fun and be sure to save the planet!
So these were just 2 examples of interesting games from the famous site miniclip.com, but of course there are hundreds of more others. So whenever you have some free time try a new game, and whenever you find one that is really cool and worth playing, tell us more about it. Have a great day!

Free online roleplaying games
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 31 2010, in the categories: gaming
A RPG game (which is the short term for Role Playing Game) is a game in which the players assume the roles of some fictional characters. The player will give orders to the character to determine all of his moves and actions, and these actions will be pretty similar to those from the real life. But of course you can’t do anything you want in the game, and there are some rules that you have to respect. But of course you will also have a lot of freedom to improvise.
There are many RPG games that can be played for free on the internet, and there are also many of them that can be bought and installed on the computer. Most of the games from this category are based on history and fantasy and they will contain all sort of mythical dragons, wizards, orcs, elves, angels, demons and other creatures like this. You will also find knights, soldiers, riders, peasants and characters like this, and you will be able to perform a lot of activities such as build your own city, create soldiers, train them, control an entire army and attack other cities, or defend yourself from the enemies.
So today we are going to talk about some of the many free online role playing games found on the internet. Since there are so many of them, we’ll say just a few words about each one, and let you discover all of the details. Usually the RPG games are really addictive, and it is known that millions of people are spending many hours a day to play these games. The great thing is that you won’t play against the computer, but you will play against other people from all over the world. You will become friends with some, or enemies with others, you will command them if you are a leader and fight with them (in the game of course). Practically you will become a part of a virtual world, that is similar with the real world, only that you will have much more freedom in this world.
Now let’s talk about some of the games, and we’ll begin with “Project Entropia”. This is a massive game, played by millions of people from all over the world and in this game you will even be able to exchange money into Project Entropia Dollars (PED) and then back into the real money. So beside having fun, you can also make money from this game.
Another massive game is the MU, that has a cool graphic, a lot of people involved and features more than 100.000 combinations of tools, armors and weapons. A slightly different RPG game, that has a lot of cute and funny creatures (similar to the Pokemons) is the Nostale. You can fight with these creatures, and also capture them and keep them as a pet, and take good care of them.
A classical RPG game is the Dragonica and here you can play as a magician, archer, warrior or even as a thief. You will go through many quests and missions and unlock Hidden Fields. The graphic of the game is quite nice, and there will be many customization options for you. Another game with a lot of creatures is the Dream of Mirror Online ( or DOMO). There will be a lot of adventures that you can play in, and there will be all sort of creatures such as fox girls, midget sprites or people with antennae hair.
An RPG game that is inspired by the comic books is “City of heroes”. This one is also played by millions of people, and if you choose to be a hero, then you will fight against criminals, villains and monsters. But if you want, you can also play on the side of the bad guys, and fight against the heroes. No matter what side you choose to play in, you will be able to customize your character and you will have many options to choose from.
There is even a RPG game where you can play in the pirate’s world. This one is the Bounty Bay online game. Here you will have to explore the seas while controlling your crew and also be careful at the pirates. But you can also play as a pirate and destroy the ships and cities that get in your way.
Another classic role playing game, with a lot of dragons, wizards, elves, dwarf, dungeons and stuff like this is the Battle of Phantasia. In this one you will fight against the powers of evil, and do all sort of other things and enjoy some great adventures.
The RPG games of this type (that are played online by millions of people) are also known by the name of MMORPG games (which comes from “massively multiplayer online role playing game”). Another game from this category is the Astonia 3, and here each player has the role of a mage or a warrior. He will train and try to become the best from Astonia. A MMORPG game made in isometric style is the “Atu’los”. This takes place in the Medieval Age, and there will be 8 classes of characters to choose from.
But not all of the RPG games take place in the past, there is one that takes place 30.000 years into the future, and this is “Anarchy online”. In this far away time many things are possible, such as healing any type of disease with implants of microscopic nano bots or making a destructive weapon out of a child.
There are so many more others free online role playing games, but time doesn’t allow us to talk about all of them.

Gaming Desktop
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 31 2010, in the categories: gaming
So let’s continue our journey across the powerful desktop computers that can support intensive video gaming, and for today we’ll discuss more about the HP - TouchSmart All in One Computer / Intel ® Core ™ i7 Processor / 23 " Display / 6 GB Memory / 1 TB Hard Drive, Model: 600 – 1155. So as its name says, this is an “all in one” desktop computer, which means that it has all the components you need integrated into a single unit.
So you won’t need to buy a separate display screen, because it is in the same unit as the rest of the components (processor, RAM memory, hard drive etc). From this perspective it is pretty similar to a laptop, but of course it is not portable as a laptop, and can be used just at home or at the office, plugged in an outlet.
It may not be a computer made specially for video gaming, but the features it has are powerful enough to support even the most complex video games on the market today. And since it has very good features, it also has a big price, and this gaming desktop has a price of 1,800 dollars at Best Buy. It comes with the best processor on the market right now, the Intel ® Core ™ i7 – 720 QM processor which features a 6 MB L2 cache and 1.6 GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 Ghz (and also 8 way processing for ultimate smart performance). It comes with a 23" LCD high definition multitouch screen with Bright View technology, HP Ambient Light and a 1920 x 1080 resolution. Since it is an “all in one” computer, it also comes with a HP low profile wireless keyboard with hideaway bay and numeric keys, and also with a HP wireless optical mouse. But if you are a really big fan of video gaming, you can replace those with special keyboards and mice made for advance gaming.
It has a good RAM memory of 6 GB PC 3 – 8500 DDR 3 SDRAM, which can be expanded up to 8 GB. Its optical drive is also the best on the market, and it has a Blu-ray Disc enabled DVD ± RW/CD-RW drive which features read support for Blu-ray Disc (BD-ROM) and double layer support using compatible DVD + R DL and DVD - R DL media.
In order to store as many large video games as possible, along with other files you will definitely need a large hard drive. And this computer has just what you need – a 1 TB Serial ATA hard drive with a speed of 7200 rpm. A good gaming experience cannot be possible without a good graphics card, so this PC comes with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 M graphics which features 1 GB of dedicated video memory with support for Microsoft DirectX 10. And in case the display screen of 23 inch is not big enough for you, you can connect the computer to a High Definition TV, thanks to its HDMI port. Just like any laptop it also has built in 2.0 speakers with Beats Audio support, and a built in webcam with microphone. It has a HDTV tuner too, and a 6 in 1 media card reader (with support for Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity, MultiMediaCard, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro formats).
It has a good number of 6 high speed USB ports, built in premium wireless LAN (802.11 b / g / n) and built in 10 / 100 / 1000 Base-T Ethernet LAN with RJ 45 connector for easy access to the internet. In case you buy it from Best Buy, it comes with an installed version of the Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit operating system. and some other installed programs such as: Microsoft Works 9, Cyberlink DVD Suite Deluxe and a 60 day trial version of Microsoft Office Home and Student Edition 2007. And finally this gaming desktop is also Energy Star Qualified so it uses less energy and meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.
So here was just one example of a powerful computer, that even though is not made specially for gaming, it has good enough features to support any video game. in case you own this HP all in one computer, we invite you to tell us all your opinions about it, and also the video games you played on it so far. Have a nice day!

Gaming Site
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 31 2010, in the categories: gaming
There are so many gaming sites on the internet, and each one contains a few hundreds of games so you definitely have where to choose from. They have all sorts of topics so that everyone can be satisfied. One of the most famous of all of these gaming sites is miniclip.com. It has many games with diversified topics, and really nice graphics. So for today we’ll discuss more about some games from this site, and since there are so many of them, we’ll just pick some random ones.
Let’s begin with a racing game, for example the one called “Age of speed 2”. This is a nice driving game, with a really futuristic graphics, twisted tracks with loops, huge jumps and corkscrews, and also with fast and futuristic cars. There are 4 vehicles to choose form and these are: the blue car called “Miniclip”. The green one called “Green Ooze”, the red one called “Katamori II” and the yellow vehicle called Exeena. They are exactly the same type of vehicle, only the color is different. So this means that they all have similar performances, so you can just pick a random one. Across the tracks you will find all sorts of bonuses, and you can activate them by pressing the X key.
When your car flips over or jumps away from the track, press the Z key to restore it back on the track. Since is a racing game with opponents and a few laps to complete, of course your objective is to win the race, or at least be in the first 3. to drive your car simply use the arrow keys for steering left or right, accelerating and breaking. On the screen during the game you will see just the basic things: your lap time, your position in the race, the number of laps you completed, your score and the speedometer. Since your vehicle is a futuristic one, and since the game is called “Age of speed”, you will gain speed really fast, and you can get up to 300 km/h in just a few seconds.
As we said the tracks are really complicated, with all sorts of loops, curves, huge jumps, corkscrews and other difficulties. Among the items you can collect would be some that will just give you points, others that will make you go faster or others that can be later on activated with the press of the X key. Among these usable items you will find bonuses that you can use to slow down your opponents, or shields which can be used for protecting your car from the missiles of others. All the tracks are located in space, so they look quite similar, only that the curves, loops and other obstacles will be different from one race to another. So have fun and enjoy the Age of speed!
And now let’s discuss about another game from miniclip, a sports game, and we’ll choose one from the “Tennis games “ category. Here you will find both classic tennis games as well as table tennis games. And one of them is called “Tennis titans”. This is quite a complex game, with many levels and other things to unlock, and with quite a complex graphic, so it may take a little time to load, especially if you have a weak computer and a weak internet connection. The characters and the tennis courts are really unusual, but the rules are exactly like on any tennis game. You will have to win the game by winning individual games, and each game will begin from 0-0, will go then to 15, 30, 40 and maybe to advantages, until someone wins the game. But of course a set doesn’t end when someone reaches 6 games, because it would have been too long. So when someone wins a game he will also win a set, and the match is over when someone has 2 sets ahead. The first character you can play with is just Bella, but of course you will unlock more other characters as you advance through the game.
Your first opponent is called Rubin. The controls are quite really simple, but it may take some time until you get used with them. You only need to use the mouse to move your character and click on the left mouse button to hit the tennis ball. If you hold the mouse button pressed for longer, and then release it, you will hit with more power. In the online version you won’t have all the features, but you can have them if you will download an install the game. The graphic of the game is quite nice and very colorful. The characters will make all sorts of funny noises, and they will also get really mad or really happy if they lose or win a game or a match. So after all the game can be really fun, especially for kids…but not only. Enjoy it!
So here were just 2 examples of nice and interesting games from miniclip.com, but there are hundreds of more others. Have fun playing them!

All the tracks are located in space, so they look quite similar, only that the curves, loops and other obstacles will be different from one race to another. So have fun and enjoy the Age of speed!
And now let’s discuss about another game from miniclip, a sports game, and we’ll choose one from the “Tennis games “ category. Here you will find both classic tennis games as well as table tennis games. And one of them is called “Tennis titans”. This is quite a complex game, with many levels and other things to unlock, and with quite a complex graphic, so it may take a little time to load, especially if you have a weak computer and a weak internet connection. The characters and the tennis courts are really unusual, but the rules are exactly like on any tennis game. You will have to win the game by winning individual games, and each game will begin from 0-0, will go then to 15, 30, 40 and maybe to advantages, until someone wins the game. But of course a set doesn’t end when someone reaches 6 games, because it would have been too long. So when someone wins a game he will also win a set, and the match is over when someone has 2 sets ahead. The first character you can play with is just Bella, but of course you will unlock more other characters as you advance through the game.
Your first opponent is called Rubin. The controls are quite really simple, but it may take some time until you get used with them. You only need to use the mouse to move your character and click on the left mouse button to hit the tennis ball. If you hold the mouse button pressed for longer, and then release it, you will hit with more power. In the online version you won’t have all the features, but you can have them if you will download an install the game. The graphic of the game is quite nice and very colorful. The characters will make all sorts of funny noises, and they will also get really mad or really happy if they lose or win a game or a match. So after all the game can be really fun, especially for kids…but not only. Enjoy it!
So here were just 2 examples of nice and interesting games from miniclip.com, but there are hundreds of more others. Have fun playing them!
Free Fun Puzzle Games

There are all sorts of free and fun puzzle games on the internet, and there are many sites which are offering them. And one of the best sites is miniclip.com.

But as we mentioned earlier, for today we’ll focus on just some puzzle games. and we’ll begin with the one called “Finder Keepers”. When first starting this game you will need to choose the level. And each level is represented by a fruit or by a vegetable. The shape that you see now will then be represented into that level. For example if you choose the apple, you will have a big apple shape in front of you. And this shape is composed out of all sorts of items. You will then have to use your magnifying glass (the cursor of the mouse), and search for certain items.
You will have the list of items to find in the right side of the screen, and also the quantity that you need to find. Some items need to be found just once, while others need to be found many times. And in the shape there will be all sorts of items such as: spoons, forks, tables, household items, vegetables, shopping carts, cell phones, TV-s animals, rockets, helicopters and many more others. The amount of money you have also represents the time left. So as time goes by, your cash will drop, so that’s why you need to hurry up. If you get stuck and you can’t find any more objects, you can use the “hint” button. When pressing this button you will see a small circle that will surround an area where one of your items is located. So you won’t be shown the exact location of that item, but once you know its area you can find it more easily. You won’t have all the levels from the beginning of the game, but you will be able to unlock the others once you complete the first ones. This is quite a really simple game, but it can be fun to play and it will put your eye sight to the test. Enjoy it!
So now let’s discuss about another free and fun puzzle game from miniclip.com, for example the one called Doeo. This is much more interesting and fun to play than the previous one, and it will test you agility to handle the mouse as fast and as accurate as possible. Your only objective is to collect Doeos, and this can be done simply by pointing the mouse cursor over a Doeo. You won’t need to click or do anything else, just to touch the Doeos. In case you are wondering, a Doeo is a pink and cute “thing” that has a rectangular shape, and can be found in all sorts of sizes. There are all sorts of cool maps in this game, and there will be Doeos appearing on the screen from all over the place.
As the time goes by, there will be different things happening in the map, and the Doeos will keep on coming. They will have all sorts of sizes, and they will appear in big groups or individually. Your objective is to gather as many as possible, until the time runs out. The time is represented with the pink bar from the top of the screen that gets smaller and smaller. The game is available in many languages such as: English, Japanese, Swedish, Chinese and others, so it is a really popular one all over the world. The game has a really nice music and sounds, but if they bother you, you can turn them off. In the first levels you will need to collect at least 100 Doeos in 40 seconds. At the beginning it may seem like a lot, but you will collect them really fast, so 100 won’t be a problem.
So here were just some examples of interesting puzzle games from miniclip.com, but of course there are many more others on this site and on other sites too. So in case you know some more games which are really fun to play, tell us more about them. Have a great day!

Education Gaming
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 31 2010, in the categories: gaming
There are all sorts of methods of having fun and relaxing at the computer, and one of them is to play some free online flash games. As the name says these are games made with the flash technology and they are found on the internet for free. They can have all sorts of topics and characters, and some games are even inspired by the real life. So you will find many games with famous people as characters such as: politicians (George W. Bush, Barrack Obama, Tony Blair etc), with actors (Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Will Smith etc) and also with singers such as: Britney Spears, Madonna, Hannah Montana and so on.
Some games are really fun and some can even be really silly or stupid, but this doesn’t mean that they all are the same. Actually there are many games that can be very useful to young kids…and not only.
There are also many sites with free online flash games and one of the most famous of all is miniclip.com. Here on this site you will find hundreds of cool games, with all sorts of topics, and the great thing about them is that they have a really good graphic, especially for simple flash games. For today we’ll discuss about some education games from this site, and we’ll begin with the one called “Fowl words”. Here in this game you will have to make words out of the letters that are given to you be the hens. Before each round you will be given the maximum number of words that can be formed with those letters, and you can place your bets. You can bet on the number of words you think you will make, and you will have three choices.
So if you choose a number of words, and after that round you will make at least that number of words, you will receive a bonus that can consist of 1000, 3000 or 10.000 points. As you begin the game you will have in front of you 7 chickens. And each one will have a letter written on it. There are 2 ways of playing this game: from the keyboard or using the mouse. If you decide to use the keyboard, then you will have to click on the letters you see on the screen, and arrange them in such a way to make words. The words will need to have at least three letters. So type down the letter you spotted, and the press the space bar or the enter key. Whenever you click on one of the letters, the chicken that has that letter will make an egg, and the egg will go below and form the word.
If you change your mind about a word, then you can use the backspace key to delete a letter. When deleting a letter, the egg will get back to the chicken where it came from, and it will make that chicken to bounce and to make a funny noise. As we said, you can also play with the mouse. You can click on each chicken to make it drop the letter you want, and then click on the “Enter” button from the screen to send that word. To delete a letter simply click on the egg, and it will get back to its origin. You can also use the “Clear” button, and this will delete all the letters you wrote so far. Whenever you find a word, it will be written above the chickens, so you can see how many words you have found so far. All the eggs that you see above the chickens are the total possibilities of words that can be formed with the letters you have in that round. The number of eggs you see represents the number of letters that word has. For example if you see 10 packs of 3 eggs each one, it means that there are 10 possible words with 3 letters. There are also words of 4 letters, 5 letters and so on…but there isn’t any word with less then 3 letters.
The game is quite really fun to play, and it is also educative for children, and this way they can learn new words. If they use the keyboard, they can also learn how to type. There are many possibilities of making words in each round, but it is not necessary to find all of them. It will be enough to find out just a few words in order to move on to the next round. For example in the first round 8 words will be just enough. You will also need to hurry up a little, because there is a limited amount of time. You can also use the “Scrambler” button to rearrange the letters from the chickens. There will be the same letters, only that they are arranged in a different way. This can be really useful, and it can help you to find out new words.
So here was just an example of a really fun educational game from miniclip.com, but of course there are many more others at the “Education games” category. So in case you know some other similar games that are really fun to play and useful to children (or to any person) tell us more about them. Have a great day!

Flash Games Puzzle
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 31 2010, in the categories: gaming
There are so many things that you can do on the internet, and one of them is to have some fun. There are many methods of having fun and relaxing on the internet, and it all depends on the preferences of each person. In case you are a big fan of video gaming, the internet is an endless source of fun games to play. Of course you can download big and complex games from the internet, and then install them into your computer, but it would be much more easier to play a free online flash game.
These kind of games are really simple, and also fun to play. They can be played directly on the site where they are located, without having to download or install anything. They can have all sorts of topics, so that anyone can be satisfied. And here are just some examples of types of games you can find online: racing games, shooting games, adventure games, role playing games (RPG), puzzle games, educational games, 3D games, sports games and so on.
A famous category are the puzzle games, and you can find this category on almost every site that is offering free online games. A puzzle game usually refers at a game that requires some intelligence and concentration. This kind of games usually require to use just the mouse, and to click on different places and items on the screen, to trigger all sort of actions. And to do this, you will have to make some thoughts first, and to figure out where to click and what to do. The game will get more difficult as you advance and usually the puzzle games are really addictive. And probably that’s why they are also so famous. They can be played by kids, by adults in their free time or when taking a break from work, and even by old people that are looking for some fun and relaxation.
So today we are going to discuss about some flash puzzle games. There are so many on the internet, so we’ll take some random ones and present them. A really fun game is called “X spot”. Your task is easy: just look on the screen and search for the image of an “X”. The game begins with a very simple level, where you have the X letter right in front of you. Just click on it to move to the next level. In the next level you will have in front of you the word “exit”. And of course there is the X in the word, so just click on it and move forward. In the next levels you won’t just have the X in front of you, and you will have to click on different items, to trigger actions, and only then you will find the X. One example is: first click on a man to make him get on a plane. Then the plane will rise up in the sky, and you will have to click again to make the person jump out of the plane. Click on him again to make him open his parachute. And just now when he gets close to the ground you will see the landing spot marked by an X.
In the next level you will also have to think a little before completing it. You will be asked some questions and you have to give the answer to each one. If you will give all the correct answers, all the questions will be marked with an OK sign, and then…they will start all over again. Actually what you have to do is give a wrong answer to the question, and then it will be marked with an X. So here is your X sign…just click on it and move forward. And the levels are getting more and more interesting, so after all this is a fun and addictive game. Good luck!
Another interesting flash puzzle game found on many sites on the internet is the Super Stacker. In this game you have to arrange all sorts of shapes in order to form a bigger structure. But not just any structure, but one that is steady and can resist for a few seconds without falling apart. You will have to use your intelligence to figure out which is the best way to arrange the geometrical shapes without them falling apart. All the shapes that you receive initially have a smiley face (a happy one), but once you place them on the screen, and especially when they get unstable, they will become scared and unhappy. This is a really fun and addictive game, and it was so appreciated by players, that it now has a second part: the Super Stacker 2. So begin with the first version, and after you complete all the levels, try the second one too. Have fun!
So here were two really fun puzzle games. But as we said earlier, there are so many more others. You will probably find thousands of puzzle games on the internet, that are just waiting for you to play them. So have fun, and if you find games that worth playing, please tell us all about them. Have a nice day!

Cheap gaming laptop
Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 31 2010, in the categories: gaming
The computers had evolved very much in the last decades, and from really big and unpractical devices they had become really small ones, which are capable of doing very complex tasks. And of course the smallest computers are the laptops. a laptop has the same components as any PC, and it is capable of doing the same tasks, only that it is much smaller, thinner and lighter than a desktop computer. The laptops are more and more demanded by home users and in time there will probably be more laptops than desktop computers.
As we said, a laptop can do the same tasks as a PC, so this means that you can also play video games on a laptop. But not just on any cheap and weak laptop. This is because most of the laptops have an integrated graphics engine, which is not such a good thing when you want to play a really complex video game. So in order to enjoy the latest video games on the market, you will need a powerful laptop. the best ones for video gaming are those made by Alienware, but those are really expensive, with prices that can get up to 2,000 dollars or even more.
But there are other companies that are making powerful laptops for video games too, and for today we’ll discuss more about a cheap gaming laptop. And we’ll choose one made by Samsung - the Samsung - Laptop / Intel ® Core ™ i5 Processor / 17.3 " Display / 4 GB Memory / 500 GB Hard Drive - Red/Black, Model: NP – R 780-JS 01 US. This is quite a really good laptop, with features that are powerful enough for video games, and its price is smaller than 1,000 dollars – it costs 850 dollars.
It has one of the best processors on the market right now, the Intel ® Core ™ i5 - 430 processor which features a 3 MB cache and 2.26 GHz processor speed with Turbo Boost up to 2.53 GHz. The RAM memory is good too, offering you 4 GB of DDR 3 memory. The optical drive of this laptop is the Multiformat DVD ± RW/ CD-RW drive with double-layer support, that can record up to 8.5 GB of data on a single DVD. the display screen is a large one, ,which is really good for you to be able to enjoy video games and High Definition movies at a great quality. It has a 17.3 " LED high definition widescreen display with a 1600 x 900 resolution which showcases movies and games in stunning clarity. In order to store many videos and games you will definitely need a large hard drive, so this laptop has a hard disc with a big capacity of 500 GB and a speed of 5400 rpm.
We have always mentioned this, and we’ll mention it again – you can’t have a really good video experience for video games and movies without a good graphics card, and especially on a laptop. so this model comes with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 330 M graphics which features 1 GB GDDR3 video memory for impressive images. Besides this it also has a HDMI port, so you can connect the laptop to a High Definition TV and enjoy the movies at a much better quality. It also features built in speakers with High Definition audio support.
It is a cheap gaming laptop, but you can also do other activities on it. For example you can browse the internet and video chat with friends thanks to the built in webcam with microphone. It also has a 3 in 1 media reader, with support for Secure Digital, Secure Digital High Capacity and Memory Stick formats. It has 4 high speed USB ports and also built in 10 / 100 / 1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN as well as built in wireless LAN (802.11 b / g / n) for easy access to the internet.
Since it has a big display screen of 17 inch it is a big laptop, with a weight of 6.3 lbs and it measures 1.6 inch thin. So it may not be the most portable laptop on the market, but after all it is still a laptop and you can take it with you when necessary. And in the rest of the time you can keep it at home, as a desktop replacement. It comes with an installed version of the Windows 7 Home Premium Edition 64 bit operating system, as well as some installed programs: Adobe Acrobat Reader and a 60 day trial version of Microsoft Office Professional 2007. and finally this good Samsung laptop is also Energy Star Qualified so it uses less energy and meets strict energy efficiency guidelines.
So as you can see, it is possible to have a powerful gaming laptop without having to pay thousands of dollars. In case you know some other good gaming notebooks with a price under 1,000 dollars, we invite you to tell us more about them. And also if you own the Samsung - Laptop / Intel ® Core ™ i5 Processor / 17.3 " Display / 4 GB Memory / 500 GB Hard Drive - Red/Black, Model: NP – R 780-JS 01 US, tell us all your opinions about it, no matter if they are positive or negative. And also tell us which video games you played on this laptop. Have a nice day!
As we said, a laptop can do the same tasks as a PC, so this means that you can also play video games on a laptop. But not just on any cheap and weak laptop.

Published by TheChallengeBase, on Aug 27 2010, in the categories: gaming
There are all sorts of methods to have fun and relax while you are sitting at the computer, and one of them is to play a video game. There are all sorts of games, with all sorts of topics and some of them are really large and complex while others are really simple. The simple games are the free online flash games, and they can be really fun and addictive. And the great thing about them is that they can be played directly from the internet, without needing to download or install anything.
They have all sorts of topics and there is a flash game with anything you can possibly think of. There are racing games, sports games, adventure games, fighting games, puzzle games, 3 D games, role playing games, games with famous people like actors, singers or politicians and the list can go on and on.
For today we’ll focus on just one category, and we’ll discuss more about some 3D puzzle games. One of the most famous category of puzzle games from the internet are the “point and click games”, and from this category the best are the “escape the room” games. As the name says, your objective is to escape the room where you are. But even though this may look like a really simple task, it is not simple at all. You will have to search across the entire room, and find objects that are useful to you. When you find some objects you can collect them, add them to your inventory, and be able to use them later on in the game.
Each item will be used to trigger a specific action, and one action will lead to another until finally you will be able to escape the room where you are. You can be in all sorts of rooms, and even in jail. And about one of these games we will discuss more now, and we’ll choose the one simply called “Jail escape”. Usually the “escape the room” games are really difficult, some of them being almost impossible to solve…but it is not the case for this one, and this is a really simple game. You can complete it in just a few seconds if you know the secrets. First go to the red cup and click on the keys situated behind it to collect them. Then click on the right side of the screen to move on to the next view.
Turn until you find a wooden thing with a drawer and then open the drawer with the key you just collected and there you will find a paper. Collect the paper and read it, then get the keys too. turn around again until you see a compartment in the wall. Go there, and you will be able to open that compartment thanks to the keys you collected earlier. Here you will find a hammer, and you can collect it too. Turn again until you find another compartment in the floor, and then click on that compartment and get some more keys.
Get back to the drawer, and using the hammer click on it to destroy it. And here you will find another set of keys, and these are the final keys that will open the door and will allow you to finally escape from jail. So as you can see it is a really simple game, that can be done really fast. So we don’t recommend to read the walkthrough, and first try to complete the game by yourself.
Even though it will take you a few minutes, you will complete it after all, and then you will feel great. So in case you tired with those “escape the room” games that are really complicated, and you are looking for a simple one, the Jail Escape will definitely be a good choice. Have fun!
So now let’s discuss more about another 3D puzzle game, and now we’ll choose a different one – the game called “Cluster”. This is a Tic Tac Toe 3D puzzle game, and it can be quite fun to play and mind stimulating. The interesting thing about it is that is played in three dimensions, so it will be much more difficult to figure out where to place your next move, compared to the classic Tic Tac Toe game which has just 2 dimensions. In this game you don’t have to make a straight line out of three shapes, but you need to make two rows in the shape of an L. the computer will play with the red spheres while you play with the blue ones. The best and most simple way to place your sphere is to first click anywhere on the cube, and then drag one of the corners of the cube and rotate it by holding the mouse button pressed. After rotating the cube you will be able to figure out exactly where your sphere is placed inside the cube, and if you are not happy with the position you can move it somewhere else. When you find the right position, double click on the sphere, and it will turn blue and remain in that position. Then is the turn of the computer, then is your turn again until someone makes an L shape, or until the entire cube is filled with spheres, and no one is the winner.
There are 4 levels of difficulty to choose from, and even though you choose the most simple one, the computer will still be quite smart. So you will have to concentrate in order to beat him. And it gets even more difficult when there are many spheres inside the cube. So after all this is a really fun game, that will put your intelligence and concentration to the test. Have fun!
So here were just 2 examples of some cool puzzle games from the internet, but of course there are hundreds and even thousands of more others. In case you know some more that are really cool and worth playing, tell us more about them. Have a nice day!
