You Will Be Missed Google Wave

August 5, 2010

I just found out that Google Wave is waving goodbye.  Google management said, We don’t plan to continue developing Wave as a standalone product, but we will maintain the site at least through the end of the year and extend the technology for use in other Google projects. I, for one, is disappointed with this update. Yes, [...]

My Blogosphere: The Current and the Past

July 18, 2010

Despite the numerous projects that I've worked on, there is a pattern to all this chaos and this has always been my focus since. A few things stuck out and one is blogging (or writing as others would prefer to call it). My passion to share knowledge to those who care to listen has always been there from the start. I've been very fortunate to have been given the chance to do so through this medium.

Social Game Guide: Some Walkthroughs

July 18, 2010

I'm listing quick start guides from major games that I've written for Gamezebo. There were some changes and a need to do a huge walkthrough for these games so the writer was credited and my quick guide was merged. Unfortunately, their site can't place two writers in a post so my name got lost in the process. To get credited, I'm including the links of those that I've originally written.

The Manila Linchpins Unite!

Social Games Guide: Baking Life, Chocolatier SS, Baby Town, Hello City

June 20, 2010

This week's games include a preview (my first attempt) of probably the first in the "human simulation" genre in Facebook, Baby Town. Other games include the usual baking game, yet another one for the city building genres and a move up for casual game lovers where Chocolatier invades the social gaming scene.

Social Games Guide: Cafe Life, Miracle Garden, Millionaire City, My Casino

June 14, 2010

This week's games are from the city building, restaurant and farming genres. One is geared towards gambling. I, for one, didn't enjoy the gambling game, only because I've never done it nor had the interest to start in the real world. Here are the quick start guides and tips written for Cafe Life, Miracle Garden, Millionaire City and My Casino.

Social Games Guide: My Empire, Treetopia and More

June 7, 2010

This week's games include a magical journey in farming, resource management, city building, and one that is part of the virtual pet genre. Still very new games and tons of features have been added into each one. I personally love Treetopia and My Empire because I am a city building fan. I love Fantasy Kingdom's colorful graphics and I love anything magical. Wild Paradise may not be my first virtual pet game but the actions needed to manage the jungle is appealing. Here are the links to their guides and some tips from each game.

Social Games Guide: Mall World, Ranch Town, Birdland

May 23, 2010

With my involvement in the social gaming arena for the past month, I never thought in a million years that I would be writing guides and tips. A push from a friend made me realize that writing about games (even if people think it’s not “professional” and “a waste of time”) is still writing. That being said, I am starting a weekly social games update to provide links of game guides and tips that I’ve written. This is the first issue.
