A Look at the Online Game " Acrophobia" - Page 4

This article really does no justice at all to the fun that there is to be had in playing Acrophobia. If you are reading this and find yourself yawning then you need to immediately click on this link Won.net (www.won.net), make the Acrophobia download in the Bezerk section and play this game! You’ll soon see how dry this article is compared to the real thing. You may even find yourself wanting to thank me for pointing you in the direction of Acrophobia. No thanks are necessary though, just send a blank check.

While at Won.net (www.won.net) make sure you check out You Don’t Know Jack – The Netshow. The online version is as irreverent, whimsical, insulting and fall on your ass funny as the CD-ROM versions are. You Don’t Know Jack-The Netshow is also free and like Acrophobia requires a painless download.

The guy doing the announcing/hosting for the show, Smitty, is incredible and many of the questions are incredulous. I could rhapsodize about just what it is that Smitty brings to the You Don’t Know Jack experience but it is truly hard to express. He’s sarcastic, insulting, and riotous and is actually most of the fun of the game. You are much better of experiencing him for yourself.

While this is a trivia game, Trivial Pursuit it is not! It is twisted, warped and distorted! If you happen to be one who excels at normal trivia games you’ll soon find out that, “ You Don’t Know Jack!”

You Don’t Know Jack – The Netshow has some risqué material, though nothing explicit, and you may not see it as being appropriate for the kiddies but you’ll have a blast, I do every time I play. Actually most of the humor is aimed at adults anyway so kids just might be more confused than anything else, or they could end up asking you some truly embarrassing questions.

If you do play You Don’t Know Jack – The Netshow (www.won.net), and play it you should, make certain that you play with someone you like, well you don’t really have to like them, because you’ll be asked to screw them. Play the game and find out!

Feedback requested: what is your favorite online game? Call it a survey, if you want, but I’m interested to see what you are playing while online.
