I played a lot of poker in high school. That was back in the mid-1970s. Poker for high school students wasn't like it is today. There was no Internet, no televised poker tournaments, and surely no legal poker rooms in New York where I grew up. For high school kids especially, poker was strictly an underground game illegal, forbidden, and compelling. For us it was like smoking cigarettes or drinking beer or smoking pot or getting laid. You wanted to do it because it was forbidden. And it was fun.
A favorite variety of the game back then was guts. We generally played it in the senior room of the high school a private room set aside only for seniors where we got away with playing poker because faculty didn't enter (unless they smelled cigarettes or pot). Small fortunes changed hands over this game. And we were all on very short bankrolls.

It wasn't all bullets and fighting, though. Stuck in the middle of the trailer were some cute and cuddly animals--and not the one-eyed freaks of nature of Spore. The familiar cybercitizens of The
Sims 2 were shown hanging around in parks and playing with something they haven't been able to since the original
The Sims game--pets...

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess reviewed FunnyGames, November 27, 2006Way back in 1987, a fat little boy (or possibly an elf) in a floppy green hat picked up his wooden sword, and went off to save
Princess Zelda. It was an enormous, revolutionary game that created the Action/RPG genre all by itself. I was only a lad myself at the time, but if I had been a video game critic back then I would have given it an...
...You must solve lots of classic Zelda style puzzles, lighting torches to open doors, burning spider webs that block your path, blowing up boulders with your bombs, shooting out the right bits with your bow, and using your chain shot to reach areas you couldn't before. Sound familiar? That's because it is, but it's still good fun, and
Twilight Princess Zelda maintains a respectable level of challenge, without ever being frustrating or getting you lost...
