From early childhood right through to adulthood we love to play with puzzles.  We like the way they challenge our thinking and exercise our minds. It is vital to play puzzles and enhance our skills.

We have short listed a batch of 5 puzzles for you that you must try out this week.

This is a classic pacman game with modifications and variations that enhance your experience of Pacman. It is endless runner puzzle game.You’ll play as Pac-Man and you’ll move through an endless map as you avoid ghosts, gain temporary powers, and increase your score. If you fall behind, the “glitch” will eat you and must start over again.

They are The Walking Dead seasons one and two, Game of Thrones, Minecraft: Story Mode, The Wolf Among Us, Tales from the Borderlands, and The Walking Dead: Michonne. These are all episodic, point-and-click puzzle games that take the genre to the next level. They feature masterfully done story telling with puzzles and obstacles that are easy enough for anyone to do, but challenging enough to be engaging. Each game has five episodes of content to play through and they all have good graphics, excellent voice-over work, cut scenes, story lines, and they all seem to do a good job keeping in check with the franchises they come from.

Hundreds is the kind of puzzle game that only really makes sense on a touch screen: you’ll need to tap and hold expanding circles to make the grand total add up to 100. And they can’t run into other circles or obstacles while growing, nor can they smash into hazards.  It starts out simply enough, of course, with empty areas and static circles. Before long, everything is moving, there’s ice in play, and you’ll need to hold multiple circles at once to make them grow. Still, as chaotic as Hundreds can get, it requires careful planning and execution.

Zynga has a long line up of fun, multiplayer puzzle games. They include Draw Something, Words With Friends, Chess With Friends, Hanging With Friends, Gems With Friends, and WordStreak. These are more simple titles that let you do things like play chess, Scrabble, match-three, and other types of puzzle games online with friends. They’re easily accessible, you can play with friends or with strangers, and the mechanics make them quick and easy to play. They’re also family friendly, entirely free to play, and will challenge you in different ways.

Touch devices offer a sense of tactile interaction that a gamepad or mouse cannot, and that’s put to good use in The Room, a much-loved mobile original. In this first-person adventure, you’re tasked with solving a selection of 3D puzzle boxes, each of which is loaded with things like locks, codes, hidden doors, dials, and other brain-taxing mechanisms. And it’s never just one solution: the challenge is finding which approach unlocks the next opportunity, and so on and so forth—all while you rotate the box, focus on clues, and seek out curious details to explore. It’s very haunting and atmospheric, as well, with great graphics and cleverly designed boxes. And if you dig the original, The Room Two picks up where it leaves off.

We’re still anxiously awaiting the launch of Miitomo, Nintendo’s first Android app ever, but in Japan, the app has already gone live in its respective app stores. For those curious to see what they’ll be getting themselves into when the app formally launches in your country, you can download/install the Japanese version to play around with in the meantime.

 We did just that. The app is built around creating your own little Mii character (a virtual avatar you build to look, sound, and even have the same personality as you) then making friends. After that, your Mii character will help facilitate conversations between you and your friends, being the social butterfly you never knew you had in you.

Of course, there is tons of in-game currency for adding clothes to your wardrobe and keeping things fresh. You obtain coins by logging in, answering Nintendo’s weird questions, and doing other normal things inside the app. It’s fairly interesting and we can’t wait to see how it all comes together once, you know, we have actual friends in the app to interact with.Before you download, some things you should know about this version. First off, it’s the Japanese version but don’t worry — it’s been completely localized in English (although you can only choose Japan for your country). Second, the data from this version likely wont carry over to the official app that launches for your region. In either case, we recommend checking things out, just be prepared to uninstall the app once the official version goes live for your region later this month. Cheers!

 LETS CAVE IN AND HAVE A GAME PARTY TONIGHT
 

Dead Effect 2
It may not be wholly original or game-changing, but Dead Effect 2 brings the polish and shine of console first player shooters to Android. Wander around a space station that's riddled with the undead and test your problem-solving skills as you try valiantly to survive. What really makes this game worthy of inclusion on our list is the graphics. They are simply stunning. If your device is up to the challenge, there's no way you won't be impressed the visuals that Dead Effect 2 has on offer. The controls and mechanics can be customized, so be sure to check out the options for doing that if they feel a little lightweight or clumsy to you.

Hopeless: The Dark Cave
Horror, comedy and cuteness combine to great effect in this shooter about a small group of incandescent blobs in the middle of a dark cave, trying to fight off an endless horde of dark-dwelling monstrosities.

There is no end to the game as such, you just collect coins to upgrade your weapons arsenal for the next go, and do your best to keep the cute little fellas alive. The game is not for the faint-hearted because watching the brave blobs get swallowed up one-by-one by the darkness can be heart-rending.

Atomas
Give hydrogen the Midas touch with this captivating little puzzler. Simplicity is often best when it comes to puzzle games, and Atomas works on this very simple foundation. You start with some measly hydrogen, and use plus and minus atoms to turn it into helium, then lithium and so on, until you end up with some of those good old precious metals like silver and gold. It's easy enough to start out with, but it will soon having you Googling the periodic table in a bid to learn where best to place your atoms to trigger the most satisfying chain reactions. 

The first person motorcycle game that rewards you for close calls. The handling feels realistic

Boom Beach
From the creators of Clash of Clans comes Boom Beach. Like in Clash of Clans, you must build and defend your base while building up your forces to attack and conquer enemy territories. The battles that go down on Boom Beach are among the best you can get on Android, because the order and the type of units sent really make the difference between victory and defeat.

The gaming community has always said that playing video games has more positive sides to it than the negativity portrayed by the non-gaming community, it is a debate many psychologists have also taken up. This time around, we have something to support the latter.

A research has been published in the Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology Journal where they have worked on any connection (direct or indirect) between the time spent playing games and the intellectual functioning/ school competency.

A group of researchers from Paris Descartes University and Columbia Mailman School of Public Health formed a team together and completed the study that reveals rather astonishing (for the non-gaming community because well, we have known it for a good long time already) results.

So the answer to their question “is time spent playing video games associated with mental health, cognitive and social skills in young children,” reveals that not only do the two things have a connection, games have a positive impact on a student’s level of intellect and competency.

One of the fellow researchers, Katherine M. Keyes, who is a PhD and an assistant professor of Epidemiology at the Mailman School of Public Health, says:

If we have put a figure on it, the study reveals that those who play video games have 1.75 times better odds at high intellectual functioning and as much as 1.88 times better odds at high school competency.

Based on this study, gaming has the potential of making you almost twice as intellectual and competent in school as you would be without having been a gamer.

Pokemon Sun and Moon was revealed recently, and only a few details are known about the upcoming game that is scheduled to release later this year. The reveal was accompanied by a very short trailer that didn’t show the game itself, although it did show the development process of the game.

The trailer revealed at the Pokemon Direct gave fans a very short glimpse of Pokemon Sun and Moon. Although the trailer was short and not very informative, there are a couple of things fans may have noticed. Below are some of the things we know so far about Nintendo’s latest game based on the video.

New Vehicles?
Part of the trailer showed some concept art of several vehicles that fans should expect to see in-game. The vehicles could just be in-game objects, but there is still a possibility that they could be used as transportation. Giving players access to anything more than roller blades and bikes would signal a new era for the main franchise of Pokemon games.

Pokemon Yellow, Blue and Red Compatibility

The trailer also revealed that the original titles, Pokemon Yellow, Blue and Red, which were released on the virtual console recently, will be compatible with Pokemon Sun and Moon. Via the 3DS app Pokemon Bank, players will be able to transfer first-gen Pokemons to Pokemon Sun and Moon.
 

More Players Worldwide
Near the end of the trailer, it was revealed that Pokemon Sun and Moon will be available in nine different languages including English, Japanese, French, Spanish and Dutch. Though not entirely impressive, this offers more players the chance to play the game, which could also mean that there will be a ton of other Pokemon trainers to battle online.

Better Graphics?

The franchise transitioned into 3D graphics back in 2013, and the visuals became impressive since then. Several shots from the trailer showed some areas in the game, including an all-new Pokemon Center. Additionally, the side and back of the Pokemon Center is also seen. This could mean that Pokemon Sun and Moon might have a fully rotatable camera for the first time.

Pokemon Sun and Moon for the Nintendo 3DS handheld console has been officially announced. The news comes via video - Nintendo's preferred form of communicating news to its fans. Dubbed as Pokemon Direct the video showed off a slick montage of Pokemon games over the years. It ended with an announcement for Pokemon Sun and Moon - two games whose existence was leaked a day ago.

"As you saw in the video the all new Pokemon games, Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon will be released on the Nintendo 3DS worldwide in 2016," said Tsunekazu Ishihara, CEO and President of The Pokemon Company. The video showed off a Holiday 2016 release window.
The games will be available in nine languages - English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Korean, and Japanese along with Traditional and Simplified Chinese. A move that acknowledges the need to move beyond the series' established markets.

"We hope that through Pokemon players can overcome language barriers and interact with other players from around the world," Ishihara continued.

 

Also classic games in the series, Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow will be available from the Nintendo eShop from February 27. These editions will take advantage of the Pokemon Bank - the series' online Pokemon storage service so players can use them in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon.

It could have been great game from Ketchapp! although playing it gives you bit of excitement initially ,but after a while you feel bored. With size of 9Mb,this game comes with decent graphics and response time.I personally felt that there might be chance of multiplayer in future,but for now our rating is 6/10.

You can try this game but don't expect much of thrill or adventure out of it.

The game have three interesting modes :

Strategies : Fight against computer or player.This is simplest of all,and is in a least entertaining. All you need to do is stop opponent and enter into his side of runway. More of your sheep reaches  the end of the runway, the more you score..

Resource : This mode also comes with two options,you can  play with your friend or computer..I personally am a biased toward this mode,its concept is great and you have option to score more even tho your sheep are weaker than opponent. Consume the grass and beat your opponent.

Duel : Ahh... finally this is the coolest mode in bump sheep, the battle of two sheep.When the countdown is over, you need to tap on screen at the right moment to beat your competitor. hit fast and hit hard.. But don't get too excited..it can strike lightning on you !!!

Bump Sheep is decent game which you will enjoy playing with your best buddy. The UI is good and response time is great. Playing against computer can be bit boring, and here is tip always choose black sheep !!   But the saddest part is you can not switch the mode once you start.. If we have to rate it, we will rate it as 7/10..

Concept needs iteration I loved the way, the designer got the inspiration from sheeps. And the re spawning system which drives the game play is quite good too. A little more work on aesthetics would have bagged a five star rating from me. ~ Rahul Soni 

 

After expressing her keenness to play Teen Patti with Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan, Bollywood actor Sunny Leone now wants to do the same with the Indian smartphone users. The celebrity has partnered with Gamiana, a game developing company, to launch her very own Sunny Leone Teen Patti app.

The game is available on the Google Play Store from December 3.

Being one of the few celebrity-branded mobile games, Sunny Leone Teen Patti combines two of India's popular hobbies -- Teen Patti and Bollywood.  The game allows the players to play different variation of Teen Patti, create private tables for their own unique play sessions gatherings, as well as chat and trade unique gifts with other players. Players can also earn Sunny Leone digital collectibles as they level up.

"I love my fans and always look for new ways to interact with them. I noticed many of my fans play Teen Patti on their mobile phone - so I was excited about the idea of creating a cool casino experience specifically for them," said Sunny Leone. "I worked with Gamiana to create a place I would visit with my friends. I wanted it to be elegant, a little flirtatious with a sense of humour. I hope my fans will come play with me there", said Sunny Leone in one of her tweets.

"We wanted to create a Teen Patti game that is reminiscent of the glitz and glamour players would associate with Las Vegas or Macau," said Vishal Golia, CEO of Gamiana. "At the same time we wanted to give a very contemporary Bollywood touch that would set the bar for Teen Patti games on digital platforms."

Teen Patti is a basically an Indian and simplified version of Poker. It is fairly popular in India, something that Leone and Gamiana believe can be used to create a game that is hit with consumers.

The Microsoft Surface Book has one more surprise for those who plan on purchasing one. According to CNET, the Surface Book also has Nvidia graphics card that is probably one of the best things PC gamers may find on the next-gen laptop. 

The presence of the said feature has given some of its users the idea that it may have also been designed to use as a gaming platform. One setback of the Nvidia graphics card is its installation on the keyboard part of the device, disabling it once the Surface Book's monitor is detached.

Although Microsoft and Nvidia shed some light on the said chip, neither of them disclosed what type of graphics hardware it really is. One thing is for sure, the chip is a specially designed graphic hardware, something that is not used on a regular basis and on other Microsoft devices.

the presence of the Nvidia graphics card is a sign that the Surface Book is also intended as a gaming platform, this can be backed up by the latest Alienware Alpha and Alienware Steam Machine. Both are equipped with the Nvidia GPU that was similar to the Nvidia GeForce 860M GPU. The said GPU can take on at least 1,920 x 1,080 pixels of full resolution gaming.

When Microsoft announced the Surface Book, they tagged it as the ultimate laptop, and, indeed, it took the market by storm, leaving the Macbook sitting on the shelves.

Now, the Surface Book, which highly recommended for the business world, seems to have also tagged along the world of gaming by integrating a feature essential to PC gamers.

A test done by PC World showed that the Surface Book is not twice as fast as the Macbook, but is, in fact, three times as fast as the Macbook. Despite Microsoft not disclosing its secret for creating an incredibly boosted laptop, somehow, it may have something to do with the GeForce chip that was used in the Surface Book.

The GPU installed under the keyboard of the Surface Book has been the game changer between the Surface Book and the Macbook.

Heading on to the real deal, PC World both tested the Surface Book and Macbook 13 by playing "Tomb Raider" from Steam. Ultimately, the Macbook flunked by running only on 24fps whereas the Surface Book showed an impressive 74fps. The Nvidia graphics card is not created for gaming alone, as it is also intended to cater apps that demand high-quality graphics.
