Top-five handheld games for 2012

With the Nintendo 3DS, exciting new games for the Nintendo DSi and huge changes to the phone gaming scene, 2012 is sure to be the best year ever for handheld games. Here are five of the best handheld games to grab for 2012.

Super Mario 3D Land
Anyone who’s been looking forward to the next great Mario game needs look no further. While the hand-holding nature of Mario Galaxy left some disappointed and New Super Mario Brothers was a little too easy, Super Mario 3D Land has been hailed as a return to form and the true sequel to Mario 64.

Pilotwings Resort
Pilotwings and Pilotwings 64 are both legendary for their intense challenge mixed with breezy aesthetics and funky music. Pilotwings Resort gives us the fun of Pilotwings 64 with modern graphical technology for a challenging and enjoyable gaming experience.

GTA: Chinatown Wars
An older DSi game, but as of 2012 it remains the best handheld sandbox game. If you haven’t played it yet, you can get it for a bargain now on DS, PSP or your phone.

Ziggurat
From fledgling Action Button Entertainment studio, Ziggurat is an in-the-works game for the iPhone set for release in 2012 that promises to redefine what you think about action games. While press on this game has been scant thus far, it’s sure to blow the doors off the industry on release.

CANABALT
This browser game can be played on an iPhone app and it can keep you hooked. You tap the screen to jump from roof to roof and just see how far you can go in a post-apocalyptic world. It sounds simple, but it’s amazingly addictive, like Super Mario meets Tetris, you will keep coming back to this one.

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Technology

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a cryptographic protocol that provides communication security over the Internet. SSL encrypts the segments of network connections using asymmetric cryptography for privacy and a keyed message authentication code to ensure message reliability. Several versions of this protocol are used in many applications that are done over the internet. These applications include web browsing, email, Internet faxing, instant messaging and voice-over-IP (VoIP).

Secure Sockets Layer was developed by Netscape for transmitting private documents through the Internet. It uses a system with two keys to encrypt data ? a public key that is known to everyone, and a private key that is known only to the recipient of the message. Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer support SSL while web sites use the protocol to obtain confidential user information, such as credit card numbers. Websites that that require SSL connections start with https: instead of http.

Websites that regularly handle confidential information, such as credit card numbers and consumer addresses, should check whether the host provider that they are considering also offers SSL solutions.    To check if the host provider’s SSL protocol is reliable, one good resource would be web hosting reviews.

Web hosting reviews, such as Host Gator Review, are independently run sites that provide unbiased ratings on a web host’s services. Apart from star ratings, host reviews also publish invaluable feedback and comments from the host’s past and/or present clients. Web host reviews help other consumers determine if a particular host can indeed meet the security requirements of their websites.

Review Gadgets Online

Everyday, a new gadget is introduced in the market. It could be a mobile phone, a camera, a laptop, an electronic reader – the list is endless. With all these new items, finding one that would best meet your personal needs can be a challenge. Luckily there are websites that focuses on reviewing the efficiency of these new toys. Gadget review pages usually focus on one gadget at  a time (ie: just phones, just cameras, just laptops). These sites contain images of these gadgets, reviews from other users and links to where the item can be purchased. These websites are great resources as they help others decide on what to buy.

Those operating gadget review sites need to make sure that their websites are hosted by reliable host companies. Finding a good host company can be tricky, considering the number of firms operating in the market, but there is a way to narrow down the search and this is by checking web host reviews.

Web host review sites, just like gadget review websites, are independently run and are designed to give people more information on the services of web host providers. Like gadget reviews, host reviews also rate the services of web hosts by giving star ratings; publish both good and bad user feedback and comments; and also have links which will lead viewers to the host’s official website. These host reviews, such as Host Gator Review, are readily available at any time and can be accessed by anyone free of charge.
