Now this is a strange one.The whole concept behind Winning Streak is that it's you buy some scratch cards, then send them in, to possibly get on the TV show & win lots of money on-air.Now, this is the vexing thing -- this particular "game show" is terrible!To start, the presenter introduces each of the 5 contestants, they give us a quick run-down of all the people they know & dragged along (cue

Created by Namco in 1979, Pac-Man is one of the enduring classic arcade games - it is regularly in the top 10 games downloaded for mobile phones, and has spawned many spin-off sequels -- the most original being, in my opinion, Pac-land (1984, arcade), Pac-Man Vs. (2003, GameCube - in which the ghosts are controlled by other players) & Pac-Pix (2005, DS - where Pac-Man is literally drawn on the

AsteroidsAsteroids was one of the founding fathers of the shoot-em-up genre.Elegantly presented, Asteroids is drawn using Vector graphics instead of sprites. It can be imagined that its classy, white-on-black graphics would have glowed through any darkly-lit arcade as was common at the game's release (1979).GameplayThe player's control consist of clock- and counter-clockwise turning, a fire

Chess is a very deep strategy game -- in fact, it's been mathematically calculated that there are more possible chess games than there are atoms in the universe!Now that the drama's outta the way...Chess, in its current form, is played on an 8x8 grid, with squares alternating between black & white. Both players set up their pieces at the beginning of the game -- one row of pawns, the other with

Chinese Checkers is a very simplistic game of strategy.The main board is laid out as a six-pointed star, with 10 holes in each corner, and holes laid out in the hexagonal middle area.The aim of the game is to move all of one's own pieces (marbles or pegs) from one corner of the star to the opposite corner, while competing players attempt to do the same. Only one piece may be moved per turn, and

StackThis game is a simple game of strategic defense & offence, coupled with a little luck.Best played between 4, Stack gives each player 14 6-sided dice, with 4 colours (1 colour each). The players roll the 56 dice into the playing area, then take turns stacking dice on top of other players'.Only dice of the same number may be stacked; in addition, no stack may be more than 4 dice high (though
