This season's hottest games are selling geopolitical nostalgia: all the bad guys are Russian. The military pandemonium simulator that is Call of Duty: Modern warfare 2 (Activision, Xbox360/PS3/PC) features one level, already notorious, in which you play a CIA mole in the team of a mad Russian mastermind, accompanying them as they stroll through an airport massacring civilians.
You don't have to kill the civilians yourself - as a protest against global consumerism, I decided to shoot up the duty-free shop instead - but the effect is unsettling. The rest is a Rolls-Royce-quality rehearsal of familiar shooter tropes, with some gorgeously built sets for the mayhem - a Brazilian favela stands out - but little thought is required beyond shooting the next guy in the face. The online options, which include dedicated cooperative missions, are state of the art.A Russian ruffian also features in the other big action game, Uncharted 2: Among thieves (Sony, PS3), which resembles a movie starring Indiana Jones's psychopathic kid brother.
Your hero flirts, quips and smashes priceless artefacts through snack-sized cinematic clips and Tomb Raider-style locations, never forgetting the primary business of shooting a thousand hoodlums to death. It's just a glittering, linear string of set pieces, but some of them are spectacular. For a deliriously adrenalised ride, the designers have crammed in every great speeding train action-movie cliché in history, and then thought up some more of their own. More sedate diversions are offered by EyePet (Sony, PS3). With a webcam (supplied) pointed at your floor, you interact with a cute virtual animal, a kind of monkey-dog. Feed it, groom it, wash it, play with it and even show it drawings: they become objects in the game's intriguing space-between-two-worlds. A sure delight for young children, and an impressive experiment in augmented-reality technology.
You can also magic up a monkey, or a dog, but not a hybrid of the two, in Scribblenauts (Nintendo, Nintendo DS), a slightly messy but lovably surreal cartoon-style game in which you solve problems by typing in words for things, and watching those things appear in the game's world, complete with physically modelled behaviours.
There is a 20,000-word object repertoire: anvils, hot-air balloons or bridges glued to tyrannosaurs can all be yours - if you can figure out how to use them. Refreshingly, I couldn't create a Russian villain.

How to Delete, Cancel and Terminate Facebook Account and Profile
A simple guide to terminate, delete or cancel Facebook account, together with the Facebook profile easily.
I recently discovered the Profile HTML Application when I noticed one of my friends had a “Subscribe by E-Mail” form on their Profile page. I thought this was a great idea, so I decided to put the application to work for myself as well. Although the name of this Application is “Profile HTML” it also allows custom HTML to be inserted onto Facebook pages.
In what seemed like no time at all I had copied my Feedburner e-mail subscribe form into my Facebook profile sidebar, and now my friends can easily subscribe to my blog right on my Facebook profile!
Now I am using this App to insert buttons linking my different profiles around the web.
I used the Profile Tab to insert my FriendFeed lifestream.
Profile HTML gives you the power to create the equivalent of a permanent ad on your profile, or Facebook page. Profile HTML worked great for me, and I am curious to hear about how others are using it as well!
This Blog Post is a tutorial about how to install a Profile Box Button Widget to your Facebook Profile. By installing the Profile Box Application you are able to add custom html to your facebook profile page. By inserting links to your on-line profiles and copying the code in the post below you will be able to give your friends an easy way to connect with you on Twitter, Linkedin, and friendfeed.
When the widget is installed it will look like this:
The first thing you will need to do to install the Facebook Profile Box Button Widget is to search for and find the “Profile Box” application
Next you will need to install the “Profile Box” Application. Once “Profile Box” installed click on “Go to Application” (see image below)
After you click “Go to the Application” you will see a text box where you can insert code. This box is shown in the image below.
Into the text box shown above you want to copy the following code:
If you do not have twitter, linkedin, or friendfeed I recommend you sign up! If you do not have time to sign up though simply delete the block of code containing the word twitter, friendfeed, or linkedin. You can always refer back to this post for the code needed to install a button you do not have at a later date. I may create additional buttons if there is demand. What kind of buttons would you like to see available for this widget to make it better?
Imagine life without the internet or the telephone. Imagine walking to the next town to deliver a message.

Right: Chit Chat for Facebook makes it possible to use Facebook Chat from your desktop like you would another instant messenger network like Windows Live Messenger or Google Talk. The Facebook Instant Messenger supports conversation history, emoticons and sign in status alerts.
Facebook lite is a stripped down version of Facebook. It is optimized to be lightning fast, and has no application integration. That means you won’t be able to play Farmville but you will be able to do core facebook tasks in a way that is supposedly “faster and simpler.”
In the years that I have been using facebook I have not been able to login twice. Both times when facebook was broken it was probably just the result of crowded bandwidth at a packed library. On both occasions Facebook lite saved my night. Most people just use regular facebook, and many do not even know about Facebook lite. But if facebook.com ever goes down it’s facebook lite to the rescue!

Cafe World is currently a very hot and popular game on Facebook. This game is fun for many reasons but it can be frustrating if you are looking for an easy way to be one of the best or the best cafe owner online. Here are three dirty little secrets that the top game players use to make their cafe rock and don't want you or anyone else to know about.
The first and most important tip is play time. It would be nice if we could sit around all day just playing games and doing the things we like, but this isn't the case and is just impossible to do. However, the basic rule about Cafe World is that the more you play the more you'll level up and be on the road to becoming a top cafe owner. This means that you'll need to figure out how much time you can play and then build a strategy around this. This should include things like which meals to cook and serve according to the time you can allocate to play. Why cook meals that require you to constantly be online when you can only check in on your cafe every few hours? The opposite is also true. If you really can be online all day, why cook meals that are slow when you could be making more coins by cooking meals that are faster to prepare and serve? Prepare meals that suit your available game time to gain the most coins and make leveling up easier.
Coins aren't the only think you should focus on. Buzz points are also extremely important. Just how do you earn these points? Buzz points are earned when you serve and get a happy customer. The customer gives you a buzz point because they were impressed with their experience at your cafe. What affects if a customer is happy or not? The answer is as simple as asking yourself what makes a cafe good? Do you like waiting in line? Do you like walking through a maze of tables and chairs that are almost impossible to navigate? Hopefully not. Fast service, being able to find your seat fast and your meal prepared in time are what most people expect from a good cafe and so do your customers in the online game. Be sure to design and layout your cafe so that customers can have the best experience possible.
These are just two of many tips and tricks that professional Cafe World players implement. Put them into action today and you'll see a definite boost in just how well you are at playing the game.
Still having trouble leveling up and making coins? Want the absolute best Cafe World guide? Visit the Cafe World tips website now to discover what the professional gamers don't want you to know about dominating Cafe World online.
The ability to send free gifts to your Farmville friends is one of the finest things about Farmville
The ability to send free gifts to your Farmville friends is one of the finest things about FarmvilleIt is a great way to reinforce your bond with neighbors plus it costs you nothing more than a few seconds of your time. You can now buy things at the Market and send your friends or other accounts gifts.
Free Gifts
The free gifts that are available do tend to change based on events and seasons. Then again, there are always a couple different items that will definitely be welcome. Give animals, trees, or other items that can't be obtained any other way. Always give something that yields a valuable harvest. Visit Farmville Trees to make sure that you're sending something which is valuable to your neighbors. Be sure to send lots of gifts during the Christmas event so that everyone will have a wonderful time unwrapping presents on the 24th of December. If you send presents regularly, you'll get a lot of gifts.
Gifts that Cost Cash or Coin
Just recently, Farmville added a feature which allows you to buy gifts at the Market to give to your friends. These Farmville items can be purchased with either Farm Cash or Coin and include Pink Toolshed, Orange Tabby, Large Pond as well as a wide variety of seasonal items. You can strengthen your friendship with your neighbors by giving them a high-priced item that they cannot afford.
'
Not Spoiled, Gifted!'
You need to leave gifts in your Gifts Box until you collect a certain number of different gifts to get the "Not Spoiled, Gifted" achievement. The blue ribbon will be given to you once your Gifts Box has 21 different gifts. Make sure you get rid of identical items-use them or sell. You need farm space for you to win this ribbon. These duplicate items only take up the needed field space!
Requests
You will usually get plenty of gifts if you have a lot of neighbors. You will not like the gifts given to you. Farmville has anticipated this and allows you to sell extra or unwanted gifts right from your "Gifts" box. To avoid receiving unwanted gifts, leave a note on your farm (something like "I would really appreciate some horses or chickens") and with a bit of luck your friends will look at it before gifting you. You can do the same for other players.
Dual Accounts
If you are using two accounts to level up more quickly in Farmville, free gifts can be a great bonus. Send yourself the things each of your two farms needs. If one of your accounts has more Cash than another, send yourself the items that your other account can't afford. Use common sense and persistence to build up your two farms into gigantic plantations.
Restaurant City is currently one of the most popular and widely played games on Facebook. It is played by millions of people who are all running their own restaurants with the goal of seeing who can make the most coins and build the biggest and best restaurant. Many players make the mistake of getting as many dishes as possible, when in fact if you want to make coins you should focus on something else. To really bank coins, here is quick Restaurant City guide that will show which areas you need to focus on.
Dishes play an important role in just how many coins you can make. Spend time and energy upgrading dishes and not learning new ones. The higher the level of your dish, the more coins you'll make. Dishes at the same level all make the same amount of coins, so instead focus on upgrading to level 10 and not on getting all the dishes at each level. Some people waste time and energy on getting every dish at each level, but doing this is the exact opposite of what you should do to make coins as fast as possible.
Besides selling dishes that generate a lot of coins, the other and perhaps biggest factor to how many coins you can really make is based on how many customers you receive. Happy customers mean more customers and more coins. Do you know what factors affect how happy your customers are? You'll need to make sure your restaurant is well designed and provides a pleasant atmosphere for your customers. Don't design a restaurant that is overly complex and difficult to navigate. This will just mean your customers have to wait longer to receive their food and no-one likes to wait any longer than is necessary.
The other major factor affecting how many coins you can make are your employees. How can your employees help you to make more coins? You need to keep your employees happy. If you employees are happy, it means they will work faster and will make you more coins. This sounds great but what is it exactly that determines how happy your employees are? Basically it comes down to the layout of your restaurant. The easier it is for your employees to get around and interact with customers, the happier they'll be and the faster they'll work. This really shouldn't be a problem because keeping your customers happy also requires a good layout. So if you design your restaurant to keep your customers happy, you should also find that your employees are also happy.
