A colleague gave me the link and I was hooked at the first level..hehe. It's actually a promotional site for the new movie The Seeker (now showing in cinemas) so it's kinda cool that they came out with the idea to embed a game in the site. There is another interesting feature on the site too, which I'll touch on later.
The how-to-play is pretty simple; place mirrors on the grid and rotate them to reflect the light to lit all torches to complete level; it's the where-to-place that can be tricky at times. And watch out for those TNTs!! They go KABOOM when light shines on them and you'll have to restart the level. To make it more challenging, there are a few types of mirrors, the ordinary 90° angle, a triangle that will reflect light into a two-way 90° angle, a parallelogram which reflects light into a 45° angle. Thus use the correct mirrors at the right locations to have the light reflected correctly. Easier said than done...sometimes. =þ
There are 20 levels to complete and though the levels continue to increase after 20, they are actually a repeat from level 1 again *bummer...would love if they have more levels but well, it's not an actual game site afterall so will have to make do with just 20. Also, the site actually remembers which level you had previously stopped at - provided you used the same PC again obviously. User-friendly, huh? So no worries if you can't complete all 20 levels in one seating...you can always continue the next day ;)
I only checked out the promotional site after playing the game (I never heard of The Seeker before that *sheepish) and interestingly the site has some "exclusive" content that can only be accessed IF you manage to unlock them. How? By arranging signs in the correct sequence. There are 12 sequences in total and nop, they don't make life easy by putting it in the site. Instead, the sequence can be found in the world around us e.g. their promotional posters, signboards, etc. You gotta keep your eyes open and look out for them. *ahem actually... google and you should find forums where people share their findings (& answers!) Anyhow, it's still a creative way of making people look at their work.
Oh as for the movie, it's an adaptation from The Dark Is Rising Sequence, a novel by Susan Cooper. Quoted from GSC website, "The movie tells the story of Will Stanton, a normal young man who moves with his family from America to an English village There he learns he is the last of a group of warriors who have dedicated their lives to fighting the forces of the Dark. Traveling back and forth through time, Will discovers a series of clues and Six mysterious Signs which lead him into a showdown with forces of unimaginable power. With the Dark once again rising, the future of the world rests in Will's hands."
Almost like another Harry Potter in the making, huh? But it's my cup of tea nonetheless..hmm maybe I'll check it out in the coming long weekend and post a review later kekeke...
My Rating:


(For the game..)


Rarely do I watch anything to do with sports except for the occassional football matches where certain clubs are playing (like the game between the Red Devils & the Blues last Sunday), or when a certain No.23/No.7 is playing for club/country..*winks
Last Thursday, I was tempted again to go for a 2nd round of Sushi King's promotion when my colleagues decided to give it a try after failing the evening before due to long queues at one of the outlets near our workplace. Alas, it was not meant to be as there was already a few groups of people waiting in line when we reached. And with only 1 hour of lunch time to spare, to join the crowd was definitely out of the question!

PS and I couldn't resist the temptation and decided to go on Tuesday evening. It was already 7.30pm by then and there was quite a crowd waiting at the door; even our names had to be on the 2nd page of the waiting list! Nothing we could do but wait.......when this dude in front of us (who was with two other friends, a guy and a gal) turned around and asked "How about we join up and get a table? And you can pay 10% of what we eat later on.", kind of in a its-the-best-idea-i'm-such-a-genius-your-loss-if-you-don't-agree tone.
1) People usually come in a company of a minimum of 2 (There are people who came alone but that's another story.) Unless you have 4 people or more, you don't get to sit at booth-like tables but only at the sushi bar. There are more seats on the sushi bar than there are tables.
3) So to agree to such a deal as joining up for a table is absurd, and to entertain the idea of paying 10% of their meal is hilarious!
Come to think of it, there are a few possibilities as to why the dude did what he did:
b) The guy was hoping we were bad in maths..LOL. Cheap meal is good, cheaper meal is better!

sense of taste and smell, who not only loves good food but is a great little chef as well. A series of mishaps later, Remy finds himself separated from his clan (including his father, Django, and cute brother, Emile), and ending up in Paris, home of the finest restaurants and greatest chefs in the world. He soon find himself in his hero, Auguste Gusteau's namesake restaurant, a 5-star restaurant once but is now a so-so 3-star. Here he teams up with Linguini, the garbage boy-turned-chef but who does not possess any culinary skills, and the two formed a bizzarre alliance to become the greatest chef in Paris.
There is one mishap after another throughout the entire adventure but every single one of them brings laughter to the viewers, tickling them funny. With a fantastic plot, humourous dialogues, mouth-watering recipes, and most captivating of all, jaw-dropping visuals, Ratatouille sure is cinema-worthy (even better when you get a buy1-free-1 deal@8bucks like I did =þ) for both kids and adults alike.
