This game, with its atmospheric music and effects, starts at a gentle pace and you think this is going to be easy! The objective is to shoot as many of the targets as accurately as possible and be elevated to the next levels with the highest possible score.
JetBlue Airways next week plans to begin testing free wireless Internet access, e-mail and instant messaging for its transcontinental passengers, thanks to a partnership with Yahoo and Research in Motion, maker of the popular Blackberry device.
The discount-fare air carrier’s service will first debut Dec. 11, with a morning flight from New York to San Francisco aboard a plane dubbed “Beta Blue,” a JetBlue spokesperson said.
“It’s just a value-added amenity we feel our customers would enjoy, and adds to the JetBlue experience,” company spokesperson Alison Eshelman said. “It’s another service for our customers to keep in touch with their loved ones on the ground.”
The service will give travelers access to Yahoo Mail and Yahoo Instant Messenger on notebook PCs, and e-mail and messaging through Wi-Fi-enabled editions of the Blackberry. At present, there are two compatible Blackberry models, the 8820 and Curve 8320.
The Web itself, and online services from other companies like AOL Instant Messenger, will not be supported, Eshelman said.
Following next week’s Beta Blue introduction, JetBlue plans to use the Wi-Fi-enabled plane on other routes, chiefly those flying cross-country.
However, it does not yet have firm plans to expand the service to other planes in its fleet. Eshelman said the program may be rolled out more widely, or undergo changes, based on the response from users.
“We’ll listen to their feedback and develop a plan for a future fleet-wide rollout,” she said.
The news continues efforts by U.S. carriers to explore the possibility of offering wireless Internet access during flights. Virgin America in September pledged to roll out fleet-wide broadband in 2008. The effort, in partnership with wireless broadband player AirCell, will provide Wi-Fi Internet access for passengers traveling in the continental U.S.
American Airlines, among others, also has indicated its interest in testing services similar to JetBlue’s. It, too, has partnered with AirCell for the effort.
The carriers’ plans also may mark a changing attitude toward in-flight Wi-Fi from U.S. carriers. Last year, Boeing retreated from its ambitious Connexion in-flight Internet access service, citing a lack of interest by airlines.
However, the difficulties faced by Boeing may also suggest that the efforts by JetBlue, American, Virgin and others could see some turbulence ahead. The aircraft manufacturer warned in 2006 about the “substantial” costs it had incurred in deploying Connexion.
Still, the latest crop of plans may differ enough from Connexion that they prove successful. For one thing, Boeing’s product was based on offering Internet access to travelers for a fee — rather than as a free, value-added offering.
A game originally called “Number Place” was renamed when it became popular in Japan in the 1980s to “Sudoku” meaning “single number” in Japanese.
Thus this explains the Japanese theme to the game.
Set in a backdrop of a Japanese landscape, with a peaceful sound of running water and spiritual music, sits an old ancient book in which the game of Sudoku takes place.
The game starts with 4 numbers already in place, one in each corner.
To play select the jade number tiles and place on the required grid blocks.
A move is considered invalid if the number tile placement results in any row / column / box having duplicate numbers. An invalid number costs a life. You start with 3 lives in total.
There is also a useful yin-yang tile, which can be used as a wildcard placement and can be used in place of any number.
By completing a row, column or box you get bonus points and if you complete the board before the time runs out you get an extra bonus.
An enchanting puzzle game that I actually find quite relaxing!
To start of with I was not to keen on Basket Ball, I think this may be because the first couple of times I played I didn’t get a single basket, but once you get the hang of the game you really do start to enjoy it.
The object of Basket ball is to get as many balls as possible in the net. This is done by pulling the ball to the height you want the ball then clicking the ball, you then set the angle that the ball is to be thrown at using the arrow on the ball, when you set the angle by clicking, a power bar run around the edge of the ball, the longer you leave it the stronger the throw, you throw the ball by clicking and the ball will hopefully fly into the net.
Basket Ball is a timed game, you score a point each time you get the ball in the net, your can also get 2 points for getting the ball in the net on some shots, but you lose a point for a foul throw. Your overall score is on the number of points when the time runs out.

Our very own Julia Cook from the V-Team was the fourth person in the world to join uVme as an associate!
When asked to comment on this fact she said:
‘It is amazing to think where the uVme business will be in just a few short months from now, with millions of people playing from around the world. To think that I have been part of history by being the fourth person to become an associate, out of the thousands that will soon join is just so exciting!’
Julia is currently relaxing from all this excitment by doing none other than playing games on her own gaming platform…
With Martian ball the main aim is to get the ball as far as you can. A good whack at the start is always a nice way to get going. The object is then to keep the ball in the Martian air as long as possible. You do this by zapping the ball back into the air as it get near the ground with your electron light zapping hover bat.
The more times you hit the ball the longer the ball will stay in the air the greater the distance the ball will go the more points you score.
The game is timed so if you don’t get the ball very far, you get more times to have a whack at the ball (not that this will do your score any good). You best score on that game will be your overall score. This is a fantastic online game for someone with a good sense of anticipation and good reactions.

This is a great online game for anybody who enjoys playing pool or snooker!
The object of the game is to pot the coloured balls by hitting the white ball onto the coloured flashing ball using the cue without potting the stripped ball, which ends the game, or potting the white ball, which will lose you points.
9-ball pool has the same great appeal as a normal game of pool or snooker, you can work out the angles the balls are going to run with the ability to change how hard you strike the white ball, you can play off the cushions, and you can also put screw onto the ball. 9-ball pool is an excellent online game of skill and a great online game to challenge your mates at.
Set in what feels like a Wild West Saloon with some funky western beats to get your toes tapping is Jumper Darts.
The aim is to targets sections sequentially from 1 working your way up to 20. You end the game by hitting the boss (otherwise known as the bulls eye)!
A highlighted pie indicates the next target, which is really useful if like me you have never played darts before.
To throw the dart from your virtual hand is really easy. Just place the cursor where you want it and click and hold the mouse to proceed to the power selection. To gain 100% actuary, release when the cursor is at the centre of the power metre.When you get a shot spot on you receive encouraging cheers and applause from the apparent onlookers in the saloon. If you miss a shot the crowd shout out “You can do it” amidst loads of oohs and ahhs! When you hit the boss and the game is over you get a round of applause. Whoever gets the highest score wins!
Some great sound effects to support a really funky and addictive darts game.
