Powerpets is a virtual pet site launched in 2002 by Tony and Liz Routliffe (known on the site as 'TheMetal' and 'Sweetfire', respectively). The site attempts to entertain and challenge players while educating them about the care of real-life animals, the plight of endangered species, and the Routliffes' ongoing construction of a humane animal shelter in Ontario.

Plot


In the fictional history of Powerpets, animals were once strong, intelligent, talking creatures who derived their abilities from a naturally-occuring substance called vitara juice. Unscrupulous entrepreneur Padam Snide established an industrial chemical plant in the city of North New Barkston, poisoning the supply of vitara juice and turning it into radioactive slime, which retains only a fraction of the original juice's potency.

Players and their adopted virtual pets (and their pets' adopted virtual 'minis', smaller companions who can purify slime and increase the happiness of their pets) advance in the game by completing a series of scavenger hunt-like quests and other games. The rewards for successful completion of these games typically come either in the form of puzzle pieces (which assemble to form treasure maps), or one of five stones. A player with all five stones may gain access to the interior of the industrial plant. Powerpets has just Introduced the 5th and last stone; The Emerald stone.

Roleplaying and Romance
With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I thought it would be a good time to take a quick look at sex and romance inside massively multiplayer online games, where players celebrate everything from birthdays to weddings. Although it may not fit the stereotype, gamers are not immune to love, and gamer couples are becoming more common all the time. Most games do their best to keep it clean, but those seeking something more risque have a few virtual worlds to choose from as well.

Multiplayer Strategy Games 101
The ability to compete online with other players is becoming a common feature in recent strategy and sports games. Strategy games give you control of entire armies and empires, rather than just a single avatar. Sports games let you guide your team to glory, or test your driving skills against others on the track. We've got some basics for people new to this kind of gaming.
