Written by David Brunskill, the first Proteus adventure pits you as a student at the Academy of the Grand Wizard Eleutheria against an evil and powerful Wizard called Belenghast, the Ruler of Darkblood.

Proteus - The Tower of Terror. Can you defeat the Ruler of The Tower of Terror?
In this classic interactive Gamebook adventure, you are at the Academy of the Grand Wizard Eleutheria. You have learned a great deal of magic, of the power of reason, and the martial arts. Now you yearn for a challenge. You have heard stories of the town of Darkblood, to the East, apparently ruled over by a great but very evil Wizard. The idea in your mind becomes more exciting - to journey to Darkblood. You wonder what you will find there...
You leave the hut as the sun rises, and look at the Tower ahead. It is a forbidding structure, and reminds you of a volcano. But you press on, determined, pushing your way... until you reach the foot of the Tower. A stone archway is ahead of you, and beyond that is darkness. You take a torch from the wall. Lighting it, you walk back, through the archway, into the Tower of Terror...

Wine Discovery App Wine4.Me Takes Guesswork Out of Buying Great Wine
A new article has been published at prMac.
Wine Discovery App Wine4.Me Takes Guesswork Out of Buying Great Wine - Published on 06/12/14
VineSleuth has introduced Wine4.Me 1.1 for iOS, a mobile wine discovery app that makes selecting and buying a delicious bottle of wine a breeze. Wine4.Me does this by analyzing characteristics of the user's current favorite wines to create a unique taste profile, which is then used to provide a personalized ranking of all of the wines in the app's database. Wine4.Me's wine selections are widely available at many grocery stores and wine outlets.
Houston, Texas - VineSleuth has introduced Wine4.Me, a mobile wine discovery app that makes selecting and buying a delicious bottle of wine a breeze ... every time. Wine4.Me does this by analyzing characteristics of the user's current favorite wines to create a unique taste profile, which is then used to provide a personalized ranking of all of the wines in the app's database. Users can then filter their results by grape type, color, food pairing, and more. As the user rates wines they try, the app learns from these ratings to be more precise with their taste profile and in turn with rankings.
"It can be a huge challenge for casual wine drinkers to find a wine they are sure to like-- they don't know whose palates and opinions to trust," said Amy Gross, Founder of VineSleuth. "With Wine4.Me, we've removed the uncertainty by offering truly personalized wine rankings based on the individual's taste profile. We know they'll love these wines because they're based on what they already like."

Wine Discovery App Wine4.Me Takes Guesswork Out of Buying Great Wine - Published on 06/12/14
VineSleuth has introduced Wine4.Me 1.1 for iOS, a mobile wine discovery app that makes selecting and buying a delicious bottle of wine a breeze. Wine4.Me does this by analyzing characteristics of the user's current favorite wines to create a unique taste profile, which is then used to provide a personalized ranking of all of the wines in the app's database. Wine4.Me's wine selections are widely available at many grocery stores and wine outlets.
Houston, Texas - VineSleuth has introduced Wine4.Me, a mobile wine discovery app that makes selecting and buying a delicious bottle of wine a breeze ... every time. Wine4.Me does this by analyzing characteristics of the user's current favorite wines to create a unique taste profile, which is then used to provide a personalized ranking of all of the wines in the app's database. Users can then filter their results by grape type, color, food pairing, and more. As the user rates wines they try, the app learns from these ratings to be more precise with their taste profile and in turn with rankings.
"It can be a huge challenge for casual wine drinkers to find a wine they are sure to like-- they don't know whose palates and opinions to trust," said Amy Gross, Founder of VineSleuth. "With Wine4.Me, we've removed the uncertainty by offering truly personalized wine rankings based on the individual's taste profile. We know they'll love these wines because they're based on what they already like."

Lexulous Spells Its Way To 6 Million Users And A Super New Version
A new article has been published at prMac.
Lexulous Spells Its Way To 6 Million Users And A Super New Version - Published on 06/12/14
Popular crossword game Lexulous has unveiled new version Super Lexulous that reimagines game play and adds major bonuses. In the game update players will receive more tiles and a larger board. Additionally, Lexulous is enhancing the social features of the platform by adding photo sharing, in order to cater to its community of users that have already shared 500 million messages. The new update in Super Lexulous also includes push notifications.
Cupertino, California - Lexulous, the popular crossword game, has announced reaching the 6 million user milestone and the launch of a new version called Super Lexulous. This new version will help users improve their skills by analyzing player's game play after the match is over. Users are now able to view all the moves they played and see the best moves they missed, helping players become Lexulous experts.
Lexulous is an extremely popular game, with more than five million games played in April 2014 alone. Additionally it's a very social app, with over 500 million messages shared between players. Now Lexulous is taking social to the next level by allowing users to share pictures as well.
Lexulous, is an online crossword game and mobile app. The game allows users to play with their Facebook friends, random players, or against the computer. "The Lexulous community is a happy one with new users joining everyday, the game is very challenging and fun for people of all ages," said Lexulous co-founder, Rajat Agarwalla. "Our game allows people to connect with each other and especially unites families and friends."
In the new Super Lexulous update players will receive a total of 178 tiles instead of 89 tiles they get in Lexulous. The game board will be 21x21 grid instead of 15x15 as in Lexulous. The bigger board has more premium squares, for example, quadruple word and letter score spaces. This enables players to score a higher total. Strategy wise, it will make more sense for players to focus on premium squares rather than bingos (using all given letters to create one word), as the importance of a 50 point bonus is slightly reduced.
One important feature of Lexulous is the push notifications. The game allows users to play their turn and close the app. Then, after their opponents play their turn, Lexulous sends a notification to inform users they can pick up game play. Users can pick up the game across multiple devices and even finish their game play via email. This makes it easy to play multiple games at the same time. Some extreme Lexulous fans play over 100 games at once.
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 11.9 MB
Pricing and Availability:
Lexulous Word Game 5.11 is $1.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.
