Syberia 2 Mania for Pocket PC

Syberia has always been one of the better adventure games out there combining quarky automatons and industrial age era design styles and witty characters that make it worthwhile to explore the intricate locations fleshed out in great detail in the game. The first two games appeared in PC format and now it is available for the Pocket PC as well for gamers to enjoy with Syberia 2.

Kate Walker is an interesting protoganist, she was suppose to look for Hans Voralberg for an inheritance claim in the first game. After visiting this eccentric genious, who has a knack of making the most wonderful mechanical gadgets, including a talking train conductor, a megalomaniac Russian factory robot and many others, Kate gets even more entangled in his world as she travels in search of Hans' dream. Syberia two, the sequel to a satisfying original game, finally brings their quest to a conclusion and gamers would finally learn what all the intrigue was about in the end.

The storyline while linear is never boring and the well fleshed out vistas that represents each stopover in her train journey are as exotic as any. The premis of the story is loosely based on a fictional stone age culture who worships the mammoth, which for Hans has been an obsession since his early childhood when he found a mammoth toy in a cave. Kate soon gets enmesh and their goal leads them to find if this was ever true or not. Graphic wise it is great as none of the translation into the Pocket PC seem to have lost the richness as the PC version and should be a great point for gamers. In fact it must be one of the best graphic seen on the Pocket PC up to now.

If you have played the first game then this follow up is a must if you ever wish to know the ending. For newbies, there is enough back story conveyed along the way to enable you to follow the game without actually playing the first, though you'd be sore to miss out on it was great as well. Go get it now

Dreaming of a Loooonnnggg Holiday Abroad

Sigh its near Christmas and there's so much work. Today I had to pull in an extra shift after a heated talking to by the boss about meeting datelines. Ended me and three colleagues were in the office today and working away to get the report ready before Monday since I'll be headed to Kelantan on Monday for a workshop. My friends were all talking about the places they were headed to, several colleagues were saying they're going down Singapore for Christmas, haven't been there in 5 years myself. Another said they were going to enjoy the cool breeze of Cameron Highland (if there is still such a thing). My cousin just went to Langkawi for the weekend and the more well to do are abroad, including an aunt and cousin who got a great discount deal for their company end year trip to Chiangmai.

What would really hit the spot would be to head off somewhere far far away, something new, something different, something more exotic. Like the old grandeur of Europe, metropolitan scene in the Americas, having scones and English tea in the UK, anything. Planning a trip can be hell, some people like the pre planned trips where the sales agent does everything for you and they are just swept along for the ride, no hassle no fuss. the more adventerous rather take the road less travelled, book a flight, check out prices of hotels online for bargains, hop on with a suitcase of luggage and a trusty guidebook and the road is wide open for adventure. Either way, one does have to find out about things like prices, destinations, hotels, restaurants, places to visit, car rentals or even maybe 'time sharing', shudder.

Well some people say you can't trust all you read online, sometime you r dream vacation might end up being next Friday's 'Midnight Horror Theater', crummy inns, bad food, bad tickets, missed connecting flights etc. Times like these you'd wish you had a reliable all in one site to go and review and plan your holidays. For Europe and America HotelReservations.com looks like the perfect portal to go to when planning a trip to the west. Offering everything in on site like holiday comparisons, hotel price list, cruises, car rentals in various different major cities. Looking to take a cruise to the Carribean? Check out the site, and maybe even plan a shopping trip along your island stops. Fretting about flight schedules and room rentals? Check on the vacation planner and make sure everything is all smooth. The site lists various destinations, availability throughout the year and even allow you to compare prices and shop for bargains.

Since I haven't been anywhere in Europe,HotelReservations.com may be a useful guide to see what's good to visit and maybe even plan my future honeymoon, I always wanted to be in Rome, the culture, people, sights, history and sheer exoticness of being there. My sister is even going to the USA for her studies, maybe I can grab a bargain when she has her convocation in the near future. Else I'd visit France like my friend recently and get a vibrator, can't find those here, no sir. So go ahead and take a look at the site and see for yourself and get some helpful tips on travelling in the western hemisphere and maybe in the process grab some good bargains on a budget or splurge if you have the extra cash to burn. Mmm they have a worldwide phone number, wonder if I made a call will they be more helpful then some of the idiots I've encountered when asking about a destination, most probably anyone will be better than those.
