Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: GAME BOY

Do we really need an intro to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire? By now, you probably know everything there is to know about it. The Game remains faithful to both the book and the movie. You can play as either Harry, Hermione, or Ron and let the magic be unleashed.
For Graphics i might say that Harry and the gang have never looked better-they look like the real actors now! The Environment and the spell effects also show off good details in some of the levels.Some of the action slows down, however, when there are two many enemies on screen; but otherwise Goblet of fire is bloody brilliant visual treat.
The Game is pretty linear: finish one mission, and it's on to the next. Most enemies are beaten by simple button mashing techniques, making the game bit ho-hum. The best part of the game though, are the varied levels and the co-op mode. One player just doesn't do the game much justice.

Its is more fun if you play with your siblings r friends , and combine spells to double your fun.
Sound especially the voice acting is pretty good, and the lines are right on the character. Ron states the obvious, While Hermione reminds us why she's the smart-aleck of the bunch. The sound effects of the spells are very crisp, and are just how you would imagine they would sound.

Overall, it is a very short game that you'll never had a hard time finishing. On the heels of an awesome book and a great movie, this gaming exceeds the passing mark. Sure the movie and the book is a tough act to follow, but the game is really just too simple to deserve a better score.

Taking Risks

Taking Risk is something that most of us are afraid of but why do we dislike it? For me, it is simply because most of us are afraid of what will happen after taking it. Taking Risks will not give you any assurance and there are only two possible outcome which is either you Failed or you succeed but according to Arina and in her article about “Why Do We Dislike Taking Risks?”, We should not be afraid of taking risk as long as we know how to do it well. What we need is courage and an optimistic attitude to handle everything. We should be aware of failures too and accept it whole heartedly no matter what.

WACCA

WACCA BY NEC

Here's another cool gadget. With the design flair in mind, the eggheads at NEC came up with the "Wacca". Wacca is a gadget, an accessory and a fashion statement that records the wearer's activities through out the day with pictures and videos. Think of it as recording your whole life in a digital format so you can access(or blog) it whenever you please. Amazing!

Jump Higher

My sister is a member of Cheer leading Squad and we are very proud of her. But one time, she told me that she’s having a hard time doing some tricks that requires her to jump high. She’s blaming her self for being a short-legged. It seems that she is very frustrated at that time and how I wish I can help her out with her problem. Fortunately, while I was searching over the net, I found a site that offers training programs that will help an individual to jump higher. This really took my attention and I found it very interesting knowing that their training was proven effective. My sister would be very happy if I tell her something about this. This will surely motivate her to continue her passion in cheer leading.
