Street Fighter Vs Mortal Kombat
— I
have just seen this flash movie, although it has been around for some years. It is an amazing tribute to these two great games, and obviously the characters of the superior game win the fight.
If you have never seen this short movie, it is a must see. It brings back some memories. Click on the picture for the best five minutes you'll ever have in some time.

Better Flash Gaming Experience
— I have made some modifications to the Flash Games Arcade, hoping to provide you with a better playing experience.First of all, I made the screen wider. With the current graphic card resolutions, I can surely accomodate another column for listing games on the home page and so reducing the height of the page that you have to scroll down to. Also because of the wider page, you also get a larger playing area, which is definitely the largest gain of this exercise. I have also added a search feature, which you can use to help you find a particular game instead of having to scroll down looking for it.
In a less drastic change, I have also reshuffled the information on the page header in order to gain a little bit of additional pixels for the important stuff. Now stop reading this and go play some flash games!
Future Trends
The year of the Android
— Recent mobile OS ratings show that Symbian is the clear winner in market share* with 57.1%, followed by RIM 17.4%, Windows Mobile 12%, Linux 7.3%, Mac OS X 2.8%, Palm OS 2.3% and the remaining 1.1% covered by minor vendors.That is all set to change drastically within the next year as Google's Android is set to make its appearance. Whatever the features that it will provide, Android is sure to take a piece of the cake because people will be inclined to try it out. With news of the first Android-powered phones starting to hit the market, the time when the androids take over the earth will soon be upon us.

Starcraft
— Whilst most probably I will be either doing one of this year's sixteen school assignments or studying for the final exams, you lucky bastards will be able to enjoy Starcraft II when it is released in 2009. I don't consider that fair at all.As Blizzard (the game's developers), in my opinion, are dropping hints that their massive game World of Warcraft is starting to loose its power financially, they will surely give their best shot at making Starcraft II the best RTS game ever. And you know what? In all probability it will just be that way.
There's not much detailed information about how the game will really work out yet, but it's bound to appear some time or other on the official Starcraft II website.
