Today I wanted to do something a bit different. I will be giving you a few video game related links from around the web that I found fun or interesting.
Kongregate is my flash game site of choice with over 2000 games. Desktop Tower Defense 1.5, Feudalism, and Momentum Missile Mayhem Ultimate are a few of my favorites.
If you are interested in what goes on in the world of video game politics the one place that is required reading is GamePolitics. The game politics blog is well written and it is frequently updated.

Shareware Game Review: Astral Masters
Astral Masters
http://astralmasters.com
This game is similar in feel to a collecting card game, the free sample game offers unlimited game time with a limited access to cards. Registration is inexpensive and it adds quite a few cards to your library.
The cards represent spells that summon creatures or they have other game play impacts such as creating direct damage or healing your creatures. The game can be enjoyed as a single player game or online multi-player, this adds replay value to the game.
The game is similar enough to Magic the Gathering to draw comparisons, but dissimilar enough that it does not feel like a clone. The spells are placed into four basic categories based on the traditional elements; fire, wind, water, and earth. The elements are well balanced and each has unique strengths and weaknesses.
Pros: Easy to learn, yet deep game play. The ability to have network or Internet multi-payer adds to the value of the game.
Cons: While the game does have some dynamic adjustments in order to fine tune the cards and add new cards they tend to be infrequent.
Bottom Line: If you enjoy Collecting Card games you will love this. This is a solid game that will keep you up at night 5/5
