Epic Rail

Image
Here comes a puzzle on rails, if you have played Airport Madness and enjoyed it this takes elements from there and combines it with the flexibility the game concept offers to create a sometimes fast paced, time and logic based puzzles. There's something really special about Epic Rail, the creators have incorporated an option for color blind people. So if you are color blind person can play this game, as a symbol is displayed instead of colors. The game offers 34 levels of rail madness, each level offers so much variation, in terms of what you have to do so you can move to the next, its no cup of tea getting to level 34 forget about beating it. The game is built around you having to direct the train to a particular station to complete the level. Each compartment of the train has various colors and you need to activate junctions to reach that particular color station. Easy concept, but the elements at play make this game extremely immersing and no cake walk! Enjoy Epic Rail! Epic Rai...

Skinny

Image
when i first saw a screen of the game, I was like, should I play this one, would Skinny be good enough for the site, but soon I was hooked onto Skinny's adventure with the story line intertwined with the game. I had not played Coma so I wasn't familiar with Thomas Brush's style of games, but after playing skinny I ended up trying Coma as well and will give it a complete go prior to putting it up here. Ok now lets take a look into what skinny has to offer. You start off with a basic mission where your son looses his marbles, the son looks like the end character as well which perhaps was not intended to be noticed, as it has nothing to do with how the story line proceeds. You are a robot taking orders from a character called mama, who has people connected to the system, a touch of matrix here. There is a lil girl that helps piece together the story and a anti climax end, but along the way while your playing you are definitely wondering wtf is going on at points of time. The g...

Run from the Sun

Image
Sometimes these tiny simple games that have fairly simple concepts have elements that make you just keep going at it again and again, to try beating your previous score or go further or unlock everything prior to giving up on it. Run from the Sun is one such game, all you have to do click at the right time to launch your rocket from one rotating planet to the other. That sounds like a drag, but with the element of time, a huge hot sun trying to catch up with you and don't forget the gravitational forces of the planets pulling your space ship towards them and throw you off track, make this game more fun to deal with. Then you have a few elements thrown in to spice up the game play, planets rotating at different speeds, stars that give you bonus points and also occasional UFO visits when you complete a fair amount of flying time. Talking about incentives, the more you fly, the cooler space ships you unlock. Its getting hot now, time to take off again! I ended up trying to...

Kingdom Rush

Image
Tower defense games are one of my favorites, but nothing much seemed to evolve in this genre until now. Yes finally a tower defense action packed game that will keep you clicking and glued to your screen till you finish it off. I kind-of ignored the story, you are on your way to destroy an evil wizard thats basically ruining your kingdom. So apart from that you have four base towers that offers a wide variety of upgrades. You also have a basic upgrade screen in the menu that allows you to choose to make upgrades that will effect the entire artillery or marksmen section. Apart from that you have two specials, ones reinforcement and the other a meteorite strike, both these have cool down periods so have to be smart how to use them. Like all TD games the placement of towers is essential but this game also provides you with rally points allowing you to move your defenders if they are required elsewhere. Let me tell you that the game is tough, I did a few levels no normal and then...

Alice Is Dead: Chapter 2

Image
The mind-numbing fairy tale continues in Alice Is Dead: Episode 2. The dazed Rabbit is back to further explore Alice's gruesome death in Wonderland. Those of you who haven't played Alice Is Dead: Chapter 1 should do so before getting to this one. The classic rustic game art has made quite an upgrade with a lot more attention to detail. The GUI is unadorned and lacks Instructions. Maybe they assume everybody has played Part 1 already. The game is as interesting as ever, though. The level of difficulty has been upgraded too. The game takes some serious nail-biting twists and turns before any of the truth is revealed. In fact, you'll never expect what happens at the end. Wonderland adorns a dark, evil avatar that's more evident than the first part. Any children who have been charmed by Alice in Wonderland's innocent beauty are sure to have nightmares should they play this game. But this fanatical fairy tail doesn't end here. There's a third part to look forwar...

Warzone Getaway 2

Image
Ever fancy playing a terrorist trying to escape the army in a Hummer? Well, your dream comes true in Warzone Getaway 2, an action packed game that will have your palms sweating as you try and save your behind from a host of military vehicles. From machine-gun wielding soldiers on dirt bikes to fighter jets and attack helicopters, this game doesn't allow for any lapse in concentration. There are 2 play modes; one takes you through levels in a regular ‘upgrade and play’ fashion, while the other is an Endless gameplay option, where you spruce up your vehicle only once before the game and then survive as long as you can. I could only manage 14 levels of the regular game. You earn money at the end of each level which you must use to upgrade your gun, buy weapons for your Humvee, repair it, and increase its strength. But use your money wisely. You don’t earn too much in each level and the military only gets stronger, with newer, more powerful vehicles being sent after you. You have a ran...

Aero Rumble

Image
After all the fighter jets, attack helicopters, and armoured tanks, comes a refreshing change with Aero Rumble. Using a combination of keyboard and mouse controls, the game is mediocre and just about made it on to our site, but for some your hands can be glued to your machine for a nice long time. The game begins easy and gets harder as you move along. The enemies need more shots to be destroyed as levels progress, but no new enemies appeared for as long as I could survive, just increased numbers and strength. The enemies are weird, too. There’s floating landmines, ground units, and the best of all, these huge ancient flying birds that look like Teradactals with giant heads. You also need to collect health, bombs, and points that float amongst the chaos. The health power-ups are few and far between, so try not to miss one. Besides that, the GUI is beautiful. Aero Rumble really gets you into the whole medieval sci-fi space and does it well. The use of colours and backgrounds couldn’t be...
