"Nancy Drew: The White Wolf of Icicle Creek," from Her Interactive Inc., is the 16th installment of the girl sleuth's series of mystery games for PC. Once again, a solid game plot makes up for not-so-solid graphics. The game comes along at the same time as the recent released movie ''Nancy Drew,'' with a completely different plot.

The video-game version finds Nancy undercover in the Canadian Rockies in the dead of winter, posing as a maid and cook at the Icicle Creek Lodge in order to investigate a strange series of accidents that have all but driven the place out of business.

Aside from some nifty puzzles, mind power and memory is king here. It's really quite testing and if you can put up with the hokey dialogue long enough, you'll soon be sucked into the atmosphere of intrigue.

A workout for your face

Nintendo DS players in Japan can now exercise their facial muscles to have nicer smiles and livelier expressions. A digital camera that comes with the new ''Face Training'' game fits into the dual-screen, handheld machine to show live video of the player's own face on the right screen while an animation of a woman's face illustrates exercises on the left screen.

The 16 types of exercises called ''facening,'' designed by beauty expert Fumiko Inudo, take about two to 10 minutes each to complete. Nintendo Co., the Kyoto-based maker of Pokemon and Super Mario games, recommends playing ''Face Training'' no longer than 15 minutes at a time.

The new game is part of Nintendo's efforts to appeal to a wider audience, including women. Overseas sales plans are still undecided.

Web site lets Christians comment on their faith

A new Web site is bringing together Christians from around the world to upload, share, watch and comment on their faith. GodTube.com launched only last week, but creators say it is already attracting a half-million unique visitors a month and drawing more people on an average Sunday than does the largest mega-church in the country.

A beta form went live in January, offering everything from sermons to youth-oriented videos. The company says it is the largest global provider of Christian programming, broadcasting more than 3,000 hours of Christian video each day on the Internet - the equivalent of 18 weeks of television programming.

"While the traditional church membership is shrinking, people are flocking to Web sites like GodTube.com as a stop gap to find answers," said founder and CEO Christopher Wyatt in a news release.
