Vault Tile Puzzle Solution
The first three tile puzzles are simple — just match the corresponding tile grid with the corresponding painting, and flip the tiles matching the images of men in hats.
Looking towards the center of the large room housing three of the puzzles, here are all three solutions. “X” indicates a flipped tile, while “N” tiles should be left alone.
Northernmost Puzzle:
X N X N X

Later on, you’ll have to deal with an even more insidious puzzle. The Image Puzzle is much larger and easier to screw up, just follow our grid.
The numbers indicate in what order each tile should be activated, while “NN” tiles should be left alone.
01 02 NN NN NN
03 04 NN 05 06
NN NN 07 08 09

“From the File Vault” is a recurring feature on GameFront in which we dig into our file archives and dust off a hidden gem for your downloading pleasure.
Though this is technically a demo for a game that will probably never exist, Undertown serves just as well as a free PC action game. Its small team of Spanish developers clearly have artistic talent, and although the gameplay can get repetitive, Undertown is definitely worth the price.
Watch this play through of the singleplayer campaign:
Awkward sword grip notwithstanding, the way the main character casually strides into battle reaches levels of badass normally reserved for Chuck Norris. Couple that with the slow-motion effect reminiscent of the movie 300, and it’s surprising this 270 meg package can contain this much awesome.
The game reminds me of Hunted: The Demon’s Forge in many ways — the action dungeon-crawler with puzzles elements, the shield breaking mechanic, and the main character resembles the bald, tatooed protagonist of Hunted.
When you finish the short campaign, you can play a survival mode in which you fight waves of monsters.

Game Informer's vault is full of historic gaming treasures, and houses over 11,000 different games spanning from the Atari 2600 to the current generation of systems. In Vault Diving, an ongoing online feature, we're going to give you a glimpse into our prized collection. Today, we start off with the Japanese version of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, which celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
While this game lives in the shadow of Ocarina of Time, it stands on its own as a classic entry in the Zelda series. Game Informer's copy of the game was played extensively when it launched in 2000, and its case is a little rough for the wear, but it still has all of the contents included in the original packaging.
