Games

Games! That was any easy choice to make. I play the games on the internet all the time. I really love spades. I play on the internet and off the net. Spades is a card game and is so much fun. Spades requires four people to play the game and you bet on tricks. One is paired up with a partner. I played on yahoo for this project. I usually just play on AOL games. I tried something new for a change. I go as far as going into the championship. I usually play for an hour or two and than get back to my work. I played with four people in the game. Their names were logan 181, wassier and greenskin45. It was lots of fun. Unfortunately, I lost the game. Wassier and I were paired up against logan 181 and greenskin45. The game requires that you bid on how many tricks you think that you can get in the hand. Also, you have to play to 500. That is the winner. Once again, I played for about four hours which ended up being about 4 games.

I also played a game for single players called Bejeweled 2. This game was awesome. I love jewels and gems so I decided to try a new game. I played for about an hour, than my eyes started to hurt. There are many puzzles to choose from on the site. One has to match three or more gems of the same color and than the line disappears. The object is to get all the gems to disappear. That great thing is that there is a hint button you can press if you need help. One puzzle has hypo gems. If you match all four gems of the same color with the hypo gem, than all the gems of that color disappear. It is so cool. I now can not stop playing the game. Please try it out. I made it through all the three gem puzzles but not all the hypo gems, they are much harder. Well that is the world of the internet games.
