Welcome to linuxreviewsandguides.blogspot.com

Having been a user of Linux for a while now, I know there are plenty of sites for technical information, but sometimes I have struggled to find a site that offers just general reviews, guides and help. Hopefully, over the coming months this blog will build up a great collection of all things Linux to help new and old users alike.

Although I am concentrating on Ubuntu variants, I'm sure there will be something here for everyone. It's early days yet, and I am more than willing to add any contributions! Please follow the blog and keep up with all things Linux.

Here is a list of output you will find on the site:
* General Linux software reviews.
* Various Linux distribution reviews.
* Tips on installing various software.
* Weekly news round-up (On Sundays).
* Linux game reviews.
* Guides

And so much more!

Linux Game Review - Gweled

There are some games that should just be on your system regardless if you use it for gaming or not. Solitaire, Mines and... Gweled, a really nice little Bejeweled clone for Ubuntu Linux systems.

Bejeweled has caught the imagination of people of all ages for many years now, and there's nothing better to take the boredom away when you have a few minutes to spare or when you are talking to people online and need to be doing something else at the same time.

Basically then, Gweled is a clone of the original Bejeweled, nothing more and nothing less. That is, however, not a bad thing as Gweled is as addictive as you would expect.

Graphically, its a nice looking game, or as nice as you would expect a Bejeweled clone to look. You have a choice of three sizes to the game too, so you can make it small and unobtrusive or a big mother taking up a huge part of the screen. The sound effects are just right and there is a nice tune very reminiscent of Bejeweled 2 theme.

This game can be downloaded from the Ubuntu or Mint Software Centres. As usual, I don't rate the games out of a number system, I just let you know if you should play them. So, go play this now! It's a great little time waster.
