Channel 4 and Six to Start are going to launch a new game called ‘Smokescreen’, this is a story about online privacy, identity and trust. In this 13 part web adventure, players must uncover a mystery on a fictional social network and in doing so will learn about some of the threats and opportunities posed by other people on sites like Facebook, My Space and Bebo. Sounds interesting already to me. Game play takes the form of a cutting edge simulation of familiar internet environments, also players will be able to explore websites, social networks, receive emails, Iming friends and also playing mini games.

Magic The Gathering: Duel of the Planewalkers
I’ve played ‘Magic The Gathering Collectible card‘ game for years. Over time I’ve built up quite a reasonable sized deck. I’m pretty excited to try out ‘Magic the gathering: Duels of the Planewalkers‘ the new game on the Xbox 360, after all how different could it be?. As a wizard I like the idea of unleashing my demon creatures and creating devastating spells to my enemy, so I set forth on my journey. My first impressions of the game as I play in single player campaign mode is that it is very similar to the collectible card game. You and the computer both start out with 7 cards in your hand consisting of various creatures, spells, monsters and lands. Although sometimes I would end up with too much land and not enough creatures and visa versa. At this point you can choose if you want to take this deck or if you want to change it for another.
