<br /><br />FROM : <a href='http://www.ugo.com/channels/games/features/wowsurvival/preview.asp' target='_blank'>http://www.ugo.com/</a><br /><br /> Aliens are invading our precious Earth. Not just any, run-of-the-mill B-movie aliens, but aliens from the mind of arguably the greatest director in this galaxy or the next: Steven Spielberg. This FREE Internet exclusive game focuses on the terrifying survival aspects of this summer's movie <a href='http://webmaster.waroftheworlds.com/click.html?c=SPHMTL' target='_blank'>War Of The Worlds</a>. Spielberg has teamed up with Tom Cruise yet again for a movie that is bound to give the hordes of summer moviegoers the creeps and willies. <br /><br />The game is an addicting, frantic race through a suburban world under siege by an intergalactic force of seemingly unstoppable might. Cars are destroyed, houses are reduced to cinders and the populace is afraid and confused. Although each mission has different objectives, they all share several goals in common. Players search the suburban wasteland for water, food and survivors. Once players gather everything they are required to, they then must safely reach the extraction zone. <br /><br />In the first level, players are tasked with just finding food, water and enough survivors before big freakin' alien explosions reduce everything to dust. The tricky part is that you never know where an attack is going to happen, so you must constantly keep moving all over the map as you pick up the items you need. Once you find a megaphone, rallying the citizens around you becomes a bit easier, and you can walk up to houses and pull the frightened people from their soon-to-be-destroyed homes. Once you have everybody rounded up, make your way to the forest clearing and then to the next level. <br /><br />The next level is a bit trickier. You must find survivors, but in addition, you must gather enough first aid and successfully cross the backed up highway overpass. Figuring out how to get over the overpass gap is the trick to this level. We won't give it away, but there is an object you must find that will help you cross over the gap successfully. <br /><br />The third level we got to preview is the parking lot escape. Players must gather food and water, but also find a can of gas and a working car to transport four survivors out of town. Finding survivors and supplies isn't that tough, but good luck trying to find a working car. The parking lot is loaded with abandoned vehicles, so finding the right car before you get killed is tricky. <br /><br />The last level we got to preview is where you must rescue scared children and find a place to hide. Scrambling around the abandoned playground to find supplies and kids makes for a frantic game, and once you find all your objectives, you have to get across the map to the safe house. As you run across the map, the whole world seems to be on fire as the aliens are just beating the Earth into submission. <br /><br />There will be more levels released as we get closer to the movie's premiere on June 29. There will be 18 boards total and the game will debut on April 14th. The game does a good job of setting the tone for the movie; <a href='http://webmaster.waroftheworlds.com/click.html?c=SPHMTL' target='_blank'>War Of The Worlds</a> isn't really about cool alien battles, it's more about the resilience of humanity. <br /><br />

You said it.
How to make a tripod:
1. Take a small wooden toy wheel (cheap in hobby stores)
2. Take three nails.
3. Figure the rest out yourself.
Pretty crazy.
