The attackers are coming! They're trying to fight their way into Area 51 and it's up to you to build the defences and stop them getting in!

Vector Tower Defence
The aim of the game is to eliminate the Vectoid threat before they reach the end of the path. You do this by constructing towers along the path to attack oncoming Vectoids. Success is not based solely on the types of tower you select, but where you place them and what upgrade and bonus options you take.

Deskop Tower Defence
Desktop TD is a flash based TD game, that pays homage to a few Warcraft 3 tower defense maps. You have to stop your enemies, or 'creeps', from travelling all the way across the screen. Tower pieces can be purchased and placed on the map to kill the creeps before they make it across.

Computer Games are like Drugs
Did you know that computer games are like drugs? According to Boris Johnson MP they are. Last December he wrote a rather lengthy article comparing computer games to drugs and blaming computer games for the increasing illiteracy of our Nation.
Boris wrote:
It is a shock, arriving at university, and being asked to compose an essay of a couple of thousand words, and then discovering that you can't do it; and this demoralisation is a major cause of dropping-out. It's not that the students lack the brains; the raw circuitry is better than ever. It's the software that's the problem. They have not been properly programmed, because they have not read enough.
It sounds now as though young people are units on a production line through school being programmed to suit the needs of the nation. If the MPs have this view on schooling no wonder illiteracy is increasing. Could it just be that schools are not engaging children and young people, or perhaps that some parents believe that it is the school's job to educate their children and that they should have no need to help them (my parents are not like this).
