			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Whenever you are bored and you are looking for something fun to do, you can choose to play a video game. There are many types of video games…some of them are really complex these days, with a very advanced graphic and game play, and these kind of games usually come on CD-s or DVD-s and they need to be bought. But there are also a lot of fun free games that can be found on the internet.</p>
<p>&lt;-300&#215;250 Medium Rectangle &#8211; center-&gt;</p>
<p>Since they are free, and since they are made with the flash technology, they don’t have such an advanced graphic and actually they are quite simple. But this doesn’t mean that they aren’t fun to play and some of them can be really addictive. There are all sort of free online flash games, with so many topics. Some of them are sports games, others are fighting games, other are driving games or puzzle games or card games and so on. Some of the most popular ones are the driving simulators. So you can drive day to day cars, racing cars, boats, motor bikes, jet skis and so many other vehicles and you can even drive trains.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ghost-train-ride-big.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4992" title="ghost-train-ride-big" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ghost-train-ride-big-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></center></p>
<p>Today we are going to discuss about some <strong>free online train games.</strong> You can find some of them on this site: <a href="http://www.realrailway.com/">http://www.realrailway.com</a> . Just visit the site, and then go to the “Simulator” page. Here you will see a list with all the games from the site that you can play. But even though you don’t understand Japanese, you can still play a game. Just click on one of the game images, and in the next page click on the big “Start” button.</p>
<p>It will take some time before the game loads, depending on your internet connection. Some games have many displays (such as time display, speed display, distance display and others) and you can turn the ones you want on or off. The objective of the game is simple…you have to get from one station to the next one in the time limit. So on the screen you will see the station where you start in, the station where you have to get to and the hour you have to be there. You will also see the speed that you are going with, the time that you have left, and also the distance left to that station. To drive the train you can use the keyboard or the mouse. Actually just in some of the games you can use the keyboard.</p>
<p>Usually you have to press the down arrow key to accelerate, the up arrow key to brake and the left arrow key for neutral. While pressing the keys you will notice that one of the handles from the dashboard will move. And that is the acceleration and brake handle, which you can also use with the mouse. Just press on it and drag the mouse up or down to accelerate or brake. While accelerating you will see a green icon with the sign P, and the speed will grow. When you are in the neutral position you will see a yellow icon with the N sign.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/train-on-track.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4993" title="train on track" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/train-on-track-189x300.jpg" alt="" width="189" height="300" /></a></center></p>
<p>When you activate the brake there will be a red icon with the B sign, and when the brake is pressed all the way down there will be the sign EB (emergency break). So just start you train, accelerate, and get to the other station in time. But be very careful when you approach the station, because you will have to break much earlier (especially if you have a big speed). If you over pass the station, the game is over. In front of you (on the front window of the train) you will actually see a real movie filmed on the rail station. Even though it looks like a bad quality movie, the driving sensation will be quite nice and realistic. So enjoy these great train simulator games from the site, and if you know some others that worth playing, tell us all about them. Have a nice day!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The internet is a huge network that is spread all over the world. First it was used just in the United States of America, for military and scientific reasons, but today we can all benefit from the wonders of the internet. Today there are so many things that you can do on the internet…for example you can search for any kind of information, or download music, pictures, movies, or communicate with other people from any part of the world, but you can also have a lot of fun by playing some free online flash games.</p>
<p>&lt;-300&#215;250 Medium Rectangle &#8211; center-&gt;</p>
<p>These are really cool games, that are quite simple to play and to understand, and also really addictive. They are made with the flash technology, so they don’t have such an advanced graphic. But they are easy to make by the producers, and that’s why you will find a flash game related to an event that happened just a few days earlier. And this is because there are a lot of flash online games that are inspired by real characters or events. But there are so many more other types of games…some of them are just for the kids, others just for adults, but most of them are to any person no matter their age.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/free-online-games-for-adults.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4957" title="free-online-games-for-adults" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/free-online-games-for-adults.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="250" /></a></center></p>
<p>So today we are going to discuss about some <strong>free online games for adults.</strong> We are not allowed to discuss about porn games, but there are still many other games that are not suited for kids. And these are usually the games that involve a lot of violence, fighting, shooting or blood. One of them is the “Cubi Kill 2”. In this game you play the role of a guy that just got out of jail and now he is at  his new job.</p>
<p>But you were caught watching some porn movies, and you are called in the secretary’s office…and she will probably fire you. And that’s why you need to kill her. Using the objects in the room, you can choose to set her on fire using a spray can and a lighter. Now you got really angry, so you can move on the another office and kill some more people. You will also be able to use other weapons, for example you can blow up the head of your boss using a shotgun. And then you can continue walking through the building (in the cafeteria, the toilet and so on) and search for people to kill. This is a cruel and bloody game, so that’s why it is recommended only for adults.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/free-online-games-for-adults-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4958" title="free-online-games-for-adults-2" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/free-online-games-for-adults-2-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></center></p>
<p>Another bloody game is the “Day traders of the dead”. In this one you must walk from one level to another and kill all the zombies and creatures that are getting in your way. You can use a lot of weapons and you will also get bonuses and upgrades as you advance in the game. The action of the game is seen from above, and after killing some of the monsters there will be a lot of blood on the screen. And let’s discuss about one more game that is suited for adults, and we’ll take the “Madness death wish 2”. Your goal here is…of course…to shoot and kill as many people as possible. The graphic of the game is all in black and white, and the blood is the only thing that is colored. So you will be able to see it even better, and satisfy your thirst for blood.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The great phenomenon which has taken control of our lives, called the Internet appeared many years ago. First it was used for political and military purposes, but then it began to expand more and more in the United States of America, and then all over the world. It was used in different domains, and with time every country gain access to the internet. Now there are billions of users every day, and they use it for almost any purpose, including for reading news, communicating with friends all over the world, to buy and sell, to make money but also to have fun and relax.<br />
&lt;-300&#215;250 Medium Rectangle &#8211; center-&gt;<br />
The subjects of the games are now very diversified, and they can satisfy everyone&#8217;s needs and wishes. First of all there are the games for children, but with time appeared a new category of games: the games that adults play when they are at work, just to have some fun and relax after a long day of working. If you are a fan of sports, you can choose from many types of sport games such as: football, tennis, volley, golf and so many more.<br />
<center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4190" title="funny-games-sakaki" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki-284x300.jpg" alt="funny-games-sakaki" width="284" height="300" /></a></center><br />
If you like adventures you can choose from many kinds of action games, where you can solve mysteries and crimes, or you can shoot bad guys or save princesses from the negative characters. If you like cars you can make races with the computer, or with one of your friends, and you can choose from a big variety of vehicles such as rally cars, karts, motor bikes, dirt bikes, trucks, boats and even ski jets. There are also dancing games, where you have to make the characters dance as good as possible or make them sing. To make the fun even bigger, the creators of the games included some very popular characters in the games. For example you can play soccer with David Beckham, or you can make Tony Blair dance or get George Bush in shape, by putting him to jog, to jump, to stretch and to do other crazy things. If you are a fan of music you can choose a music game, where u must sing the correct notes of a song just by pressing your keyboard. There are also games made especially for children, with funny characters such as monkeys, penguins or Santa Claus. And there are also games dedicated for the girls where they can dress or do make-ups to famous characters, such as Barbie, and other teen idols for example Britney Spears of Paris Hilton.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4191" title="funny-games-sakaki2" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki2-300x225.jpg" alt="funny-games-sakaki2" width="300" height="225" /></a></center></p>
<p>An example of this kind of girly game is called &#8220;Sakaki&#8221;. As you might think when you read it&#8217;s name, it is a Japanese game. Japanese have always been famous for their great imagination. Everyone knows about the interesting Japanese cartoons, called &#8220;manga&#8221;, and there are many fans of them all over the world. Some of the most known cartoons by kids all over the world are: Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Dragon Ball and many others.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4192" title="funny-games-sakaki3" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki3-300x59.jpg" alt="funny-games-sakaki3" width="300" height="59" /></a></center></p>
<p>The Japanese creators included these kind of characters (which have a specific look, that you can find only in the Japanese creations) into the computer games as well. And of course the simple flash games have the same specific Japanese look. You can notice this, the first thing you enter into the Sakaki flash game. After the game is loading (directly from the Internet, or from your computer), you will see a funny looking Japanese girl, with big eyes (something specific to the Japanese manga-s) wearing only her underwear. If you are a parent and you think that the fact that the girl is almost naked will affect your younger children, you don&#8217;t have to worry about this, because it is a non-sexual nudity. The girl is not wearing anything, because this is the actual goal of this game: to dress the character exactly the way you like.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4193" title="funny-games-sakaki4" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki4-300x137.jpg" alt="funny-games-sakaki4" width="300" height="137" /></a></center></p>
<p>As we mentioned before the game is dedicated for young girls, but it won&#8217;t be a problem if a boy plays it. Maybe this way he will learn more about girls, and about the way they dress, and this might be helpful for them later in their life <img src='http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>You can begin with any body part you want, but of course it is better to begin with the head. You have a variety of hats and caps to choose from. They come in different colors and shapes, and the most interesting is the one which looks just like a cat&#8217;s head, with cat&#8217;s ears and eyes. After you choose the desired hat, all you have to do is click on it, hold the mouse button pressed, and just drag it in the desired place. You can even place the hat on the girls hand, or wherever you want, but of course it is recommended to put it on her head <img src='http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki5.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4194" title="funny-games-sakaki5" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki5-300x222.jpg" alt="funny-games-sakaki5" width="300" height="222" /></a></center></p>
<p>After choosing the desired piece for the head, you can move on to the torso. Here you have an even bigger variety of objects to choose from. You have t-shirts, blouses, under vests, dresses and even a one piece bathing suit. They have different colors and shapes, so any girl should be satisfied with them.</p>
<p>After you pick your favorite clothes for the torso, you can go to the next category. Here you can choose from a big variety of pants, jeans, skirts or dresses. The most glamorous of all it is a big and pink dress.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki6.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4195" title="funny-games-sakaki6" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki6-300x99.jpg" alt="funny-games-sakaki6" width="300" height="99" /></a></center></p>
<p>After choosing the appropriate dress, skirt or pair of pants, of course you can&#8217;t leave your character barefooted, so you really must put some shoes on her. You can choose from many type of shoes, boots or sneakers, and they also come in many colors and styles.</p>
<p>If you don&#8217;t like the way the girl is looking, you can reset the clothes at any time during the dress up process, and you will have all the clothes at their initial position, and the girl naked as you found her at the beginning.  After you are really sure that this is the aspect that you want for the girl, all you have to do is press the &#8220;next&#8221; button. Then you must enter your name and press again the &#8220;next&#8221; button. But it doesn&#8217;t end here, because now you can choose a background for your girl. You can spray it however you want, and you have a big palette of colors to choose from. After you are done, just press the &#8220;ok&#8221; button, and you will have the girl in the exact way you dressed her, and she will be placed on the background you made before.</p>
<p><center><a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki7.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4196" title="funny-games-sakaki7" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/funny-games-sakaki7-300x221.jpg" alt="funny-games-sakaki7" width="300" height="221" /></a></center></p>
<p>If you want, you can dress her again, in a different mode, and you can do that by pressing the &#8220;play again&#8221; button. During the whole gaming process you will be accompanied with Japanese music. But if you don&#8217;t like it you can press the &#8220;stop&#8221; button, or turn the volume lower, by pressing the buttons from the player situated on the upper left side of the screen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If I look back and think about Trainz, there are two things instantly showing up in my mind. Well, maybe three &#8211; Transport Tycoon Deluxe, Trainz, and Railroad Tycoon 2. No, I won&#8217;t say anything more than just those names, because each of them has a pretty long history behind it &#8211; at least for me &#8211; and I don&#8217;t want to write a &#8220;Gaming Bible&#8221; here and now, all right?<br />
<a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/trainz2009beta.jpg"><img src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/trainz2009beta.jpg" alt="" title="Trainz Simulator 2009" width="450" height="160" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3001" /></a><br />
Trainz 2009 is going into beta, as over 1,000 registered members from TrainzDev.com have been invited to join the test group, with more to follow. Tony Hilliam, Auran Games CEO, said &#8220;<em>We&#8217;re thrilled to have reached our Beta milestone, and the early feedback from testers has been extremely positive. We have built up a fantastic community over the past 8 years since Trainz began and everything is pointing towards Trainz 2009 being our best ever version.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The list of new features in Trainz 2009 looks like this:</p>
<p><em>- The largest ever collection of quality routes, locos, rolling stock and scenery.<br />
- Twice the detail &#8211; trains, terrain and textures in higher resolution.<br />
- Optimizations allow twice the scenery detail as well.<-125x125 Button - right-><br />
- New ground clutter and decals add gritty realism to your world.<br />
- More tools in Surveyor to allow easier terrain deformation and track laying.<br />
- Improved physics and easier re-configuration of locos and rolling stock.<br />
- New user interface and Help system putting Trainz power into the hands of everyone.<br />
- Improvements to Content Manager Plus to make organizing your content even easier.<br />
- Embedded web browser allows more interaction, more information, more immersion.<br />
- Trainz Exchange Community Portal for online chat, blogs, wikis and &#8220;scrapbooks&#8221;.<br />
- Screenshot and video capture functions to help capture and share your experience.<br />
- Enormous content update to ensure maximum compatibility between versions.</em></p>
<p>If you hurry up and pre-order, you will also get access to the Beta, as well as a 60% discount for Railroad Lines, Bus Simulator and Ship Simulator, as well as 20% off to purchase Engineers Edition. Pretty cool, huh?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let me say only one word: <a href="http://www.bioware.com/" target="_blank">Bioware</a>. If that doesn&#8217;t ring a bell, it means you got your first computer earlier this week, or maybe you got here by mistake. Anyway, let&#8217;s see a few more keywords: the Neverwinter Nights series, <a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/mass-effect-launches-today-for-xbox.html" target="_blank">Mass Effect</a>, the Baldur&#8217;s Gate series, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, shortly known as &#8220;KotOR,&#8221; or even Dragon Age: Origins. While the others have been released already, Dragon Age is still under development, and I just heard some hot and interesting news about this incoming RPG from Bioware. Want to hear about it?<br />
<a href="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/dragonagebioware.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2443" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/dragonagebioware.jpg" alt="" width="455" height="250" /></a><br />
Dragon Age: Origins is expected to be the &#8220;spiritual successor&#8221; to Baldur&#8217;s Gate, with party-based combat, a deep story, and lots of things to customize. According to Bioware&#8217;s CEO, Ray Muzyka, &#8220;Dragon Age: Origins is a dark heroic fantasy that doesn’t pull any punches. Our fans are in for the most emotionally intense gaming experience we’ve ever created, and we hope to surprise them with just how dark and gritty it gets!&#8221;</p>
<p>Expected to arrive in early 2009, Dragon Age has a very nice feature list, now confirmed in a press release, as you can see below.&lt;-250&#215;250 Square &#8211; right-&gt;</p>
<p>- <strong>Epic Party-Based Combat</strong> – <em>Dragon Age: Origins will introduce an innovative, scalable combat system, as players face large-scale battles and use their party’s special abilities to destroy hoardes of enemies and massive creatures.</em></p>
<p>- <strong>Powerful Magic</strong> – <em>Raining down awesome destruction on enemies is even more compelling as players apply “spell combos,” a way of combining together different spells to create emergent unique effects.</em></p>
<p>- <strong>Deep Customization</strong> – <em>Players will develop their characters and gain powerful special abilities (spells, talents and skills) and discover ever-increasing weapons of destruction.</em></p>
<p>- <strong>Your Story, Your Way </strong>– <em>With its emotionally compelling story, players choose with whom they wish to forge alliances or crush under their mighty fist, redefining the world with the choices they make and how they wield their power.</em></p>
<p>- <strong>Origin Stories</strong> – <em>Players will select and play a unique prelude that provides the lens through which the player sees the world and how the world sees the player. The player’s choice of Origin will determine who they are and where they begin the adventure, as they play through a customized story opening that profoundly impacts the course of every adventure. </em></p>
<p><center><br />
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kahEOIDzZ0M&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kahEOIDzZ0M&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
</center></p>
<p>Leaving the feature list aside, the cinematics look great, as you can see above. With this, I rest my case, and think harder about making a day last 48 hours, so I can have enough time for Bioware&#8217;s games that I missed so far, but especially for those that are currently in the makin, like Dragon Age&#8230; Any comments?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Simulating the real world in a game gets more and more interesting, because the processing power games can use these days allows much more than just amazing graphics. The sad part is that most realistic simulations don&#8217;t take full advantage of this, trying to focus on numbers and AI and leaving graphics aside. Exactly the same seems to happen with Space Station Sim, a game expected to arrive in a few days, that tries to place you inside the International Space Station&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-2308 aligncenter" src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/spacestationsim.jpg" alt="Space Station Sim" width="465" height="349" /></p>
<p>&lt;-250&#215;250 Square &#8211; left-&gt;Developed and tested together with NASA personnel by Avanques Software Publishing, Space Station Sim will be launched across the United Kingdom later this month. What is this all about? Here&#8217;s what the official press release says:<br />
&#8220;Space Station Sim challenges players to embark on a new age for man amongst the stars as they build a home 240 miles high, while flying at 17,500 miles per hour.&#8221; Not just &#8220;another simulation,&#8221; don&#8217;t you think?</p>
<p>Even more interesting, it may be possible that NASA will use the game for &#8220;future mission planning.&#8221; If you play well, who knows&#8230;maybe you end up as a space mission manager!</p>
<p>&#8220;The game begins in the Mission Control Centre, where the player launches new modules and components, recruits crew members, organises supply missions and manages the project budget.&#8221;</p>
<p>Priced at £19.99, Space Station Sim will arrive to PC World, Amazon and Play.com, as well as to Avanquest.co.uk later this month.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the games I will never forget is Transport Tycoon, and despite the fact this can&#8217;t be happening, every time I see a game involving the &#8220;tycoon&#8221; word, I have to take a look at it, even if it doesn&#8217;t have anything in common with that brilliant title I just mentioned. Supernova 2: Spacewar is the game I want to tell you about today, and it comes from Tycoon Games, but this is not the only link to Transport Tycoon, because this space wargame is combined with a resource micromanagement simulation!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/supernova2starwars.jpg" alt="Supernova 2 Starwar" /></p>
<p>&lt;-125&#215;125 Button &#8211; left-&gt;According to Riva Celso, programmer/designer of Tycoon Games, &#8220;After the first title, I wanted to shift genre completely, making a turn-based space wargame, integrated with a resource macromanagement part. I wanted to keep the management part simple, with global variables affecting your whole empire rather than managing every single planet. It is my first game for the Tycoon Games website, which will feature exclusively strategy, simulation and war games.&#8221;</p>
<p>Supernova 2 has the following features:</p>
<p>- Two selectable factions (Blue Army and Blood Legion) each one with unique tech and units<br />
- Macro management part using resource distribution<br />
- Tech research tree to discover multiple items<br />
- Spacemap to explore and conquer other starsystems<br />
- Full starsystem including planets of various kind: lava, barren, gaia, water, gas, and more<br />
- Turn based battles with different battlefield conditions for great replayability and unique emphasys on turning / facing<br />
- Easy Training Camp option to learn all the secret of the wargame part<br />
- Upon study of alien relics you&#8217;ll be able to use unique special weapons that do special damage<br />
- Unlimited lifetime updates!</p>
<p>All the above is available for PC and Mac users, for a mere $25. If you want to purchase, download a demo, or find out more about the game, there&#8217;s only one answer to that question: <a href="http://www.tycoongames.eu/">TycoonGames.eu</a>!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Afraid of starting your own business? Apart from money, you surely need some practice, before anything else, and while business simulation games may not teach you a big deal, they will surely help you get relaxed. Just hink about this &#8211; it&#8217;s not about building a media empire, a restaurant, managing a hospital or a prison, and not even a zoo! Did I say &#8220;zoo?&#8221; Well, that&#8217;s close&#8230;</p>
<p><img src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/paradisepetsalon.jpg" alt="Paradise Pet Salon" /></p>
<p>This time, we&#8217;re talking about managing a pet salon, and your competition with the evil Pet Corp. The purpose? To turn your small corner spa, Paradise Pet Salon, into a huge success, while having fun at the same time!Although it may sound like a child&#8217;s game, I know a lot of adults who are into playing games without blood and gore, and since I am not crazy at all about Zuma and those like it, I suggest them to try <a href="http://www.bigfishgames.com/download-games/2088/paradise-pet-salon/download.html">Paradise Pet Salon</a>.</p>
<p>The system requirements are decent, with Windows ME being on the supported operating systems list, and a 600MHz processor with 128MB being just enough to run the game!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people don&#8217;t like contests. OK, I understand that, but I&#8217;ll never understand those that say &#8220;I never win&#8221; to justify that. I don&#8217;t like football, for example, but I don&#8217;t say it&#8217;s a bad, ugly, or boring sport. Anyway, I love city building games, although I wasn&#8217;t able to find enough time to play my favorite, Sim City, in the last months, and it&#8217;s obvious that I wasn&#8217;t able to try any new games from this category either. Anyway, I won&#8217;t miss the contest I will tell you about today, you can bet on that!</p>
<p><img src="http://www.playerzblog.com/wp-content/citiesxlcontest.jpg" alt="Cities XL Contest Banner" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how to enter the contest, because that&#8217;s why you are here, right? First, you should know that the contest is open to all registered members of the <a href="http://www.citiesxl.com">CITIES XL website</a>. Next, you should grab your camera and then submit your pictures with residential buildings in the dedicated <a href="http://www.citiesxl.com/index.php?/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,6/func,showcat/catid,29/lang,en/">contest forum</a>.</p>
<p>Here you have the official rules:<br />
- Every picture must have been taken by you: if you win the contest, we will ask you to take some more shots using different angles. We will need these angles to model the building for the game.<br />
- We reserve the right to not consider buildings for intellectual property reasons or other rules violations.<br />
- We are only displaying your pictures , and therefore Monte Cristo is not responsible if your images violate your country&#8217;s laws.<br />
- Buildings must be residential: from a simple house to a 20 or more story residential building (we may in a future contest ask you for other building types).<br />
- We reserve the right to remove any building that doesn’t fit the above requirements.</p>
<p>The prize? Well, for now it&#8217;s only known that &#8220;the winning buildings will be modeled and textured by our graph artists and included in CITIES XL on day 1,&#8221; but there may be some surprises waiting, too!</p>
