1up is like the cool, hip big brother to
other gaming Web sites. It has everything you ex-pect from a gaming
site—news, reviews, previews, cheat codes, walkthroughs, and bloated
flash interface! What sets 1up apart is its large user community. You'll
find blogs written by game journalists, regular gamers, and industry
insiders, giving you a full picture of the gaming world. |

The object of this addicting game is to
guess the company or organization by a fragment of its logo. It's harder
than it sounds. If you want to test just how well marketers have
emblazoned their brand image into your mind, take one of the many tests,
each with its own theme. Guess them all right and you get the honor of
having your name immortalized in the LogoGame Hall of Fame. Want to
improve your score? Watch more commercials. |

Omnipelagos connects the dots between
people, places, and even abstract ideas in a bizarre twist on the "Six

Bacon and Uma Thurman, but what about connecting Kevin Bacon and the
Mandelbrot set? That's tougher, but Omnipelagos.com can do it. |

It's nothing too fancy, but this fun
little flight simulator is a mash-up of Google Maps and a cartoony
plane. Fly around various towns or even the Moon and Mars, and don't
worry about strafing the terrain below—your weapons have no effect.
