Vista, Build 5308

by Victor Agreda, Jr. Feb 23rd 2006

It's been a day. Hands up, all of you who haven't slept, opting instead to play all night with the mostly-locked-down Vista build released yesterday. PCMagazine has already been playing with it nonstop, and they like the changes they see. I'll let you read the full article, but this version should be pretty darn close to the one we'll see in a few short months. I do hope Windows Explorer is being made more robust, as it fails pretty regularly on my XP machine as well. I doubt it'll crash as often as PCMag is saying here, but it is a little worrisome that it's still flaky...

Explorer "fails pretty regularly on [your] XP machine"? I think you need to get rid of the viruses and spyware. It's super stable for me and always has been on XP. Sure it does crash on occasion, but what app doesn't? It was horrific in 98, but not on XP.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
