6. Playing GamesIn this section:
As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jackor Jacquelinea dull boy (or girl)!" Because we know that you, our readers, are anything but dull, this section of the book is all about playing games and having fun! Whether you want to take a few minutes to work off some energy with a quick game of Minesweeper or FreeCell, challenge yourself with the constantly changing layout and effects of InkBall, lose yourself for an hour in a game of Solitaire, or invite a friend or colleague to join you in a game of Chess Titans, Windows Vista is ready to play! If you're a devotee of the traditional Mah-jongg game, there's an intriguing one-player version called Mahjong Titans that you'll want to try. There are even some games that small children can play, either by themselves or with your help. They'll be learning about colors and shapes as they create fantastic confections in the Comfy Cakes game, strengthening their visual memory as they match tile patterns in the Purble Pairs game, and playing a guessing game in Purble Shop. Our young tester got the hang of all three games with a minimum of assistance from us, and she enthusiastically challenged herself by increasing the difficulty level. So without further ado...let the games begin! |
