Blocks (&quot;Meteos&quot;) fall down from the top of the screen and start to form stacks. The player can move blocks up and down in a stack using the stylus, or alternatively by using the control pad and A button.<br />
<br />
The player aims to line up three or more matching blocks. When a horizontal or vertical row of at least three blocks is formed, the row of blocks will ignite and turn into a kind of tiny rocket engine. The rocket then pushes the blocks above it towards the top of the screen. To lift a large amount of blocks, additional rows of blocks must be formed in a quick succession (secondary ignition). Also, if an ignited pile of blocks falls back down and, in doing so, causes another set of blocks to ignite, the pile will boost back up again, wider than before. This is called a step jump.<br />
<br />
The goal of the game is to lift blocks past the top of the bottom screen, turning them into sparks at the top screen (orbit). If any column of unignited blocks grows beyond the top of the bottom screen and is not dealt with, it's game over (annihilation). When a stack of blocks gets dangerously high, the stack will flash and the game will sound a warning signal, until either the game ends or a quick action by the player averts the disaster.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>30 Jan 2007 11:02:14</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Brain Age</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/brain-age/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/7/73178cd8dd041c5bd2059a8f47381d1d_sq.jpg" title="Brain Age Image" /> Exercise is the key to good health, both for body and mind-and now there's finally a way to make mental exercise simple, fun, even competitive.

Marin and her father, Tarin, explain to him where he is, and after he sets out to reclaim his sword, he encounters a mysterious owl... The owl cryptically warns Link about the perils this island faces should the Wind Fish be disturbed from his slumber, and thus Link decides he must do something to save them.<br />

This owl guides him throughout the rest of his journey, slowly helping him uncover just what exactly is going on. Link learns that, unfortunately, in order to save the islanders he had grown to love, and to set himself free, he must also end a dream, a romance that he might not want to...

A tragic, touching tale that is told in the simplest way, Link's Awakening is a dream that I'll always hold dear to my heart...<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>08 Feb 2007 11:34:05</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Puzzle Poker</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/PuzzlePoker/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/0/08f53d7e54ea089af01c90f93caa0fbc_sq.jpg" title="Puzzle Poker Image" /> Twenty five cards in five rows are dealt to you. You quickly spot the cards for a Full House and arrange them onto one line to form a hand. That was easy! Ch-ching! Five hundred chips. Now you spot four Kings! That's worth 1,000 chips. You start moving them onto a single line, but it messes up your Full House. OK, a little bit of finesse, and you are able to save both the Full House and the Four of a Kind. Now you notice the clock running down. Do you cash in or take a chance to get more points, maybe losing what you already have? You wonder what kind of scores your friends in your Club have. Will this hand be good enough to compete?<br />

Certain scenes are omitted, but it sticks close to the original plot for the most part.  The game uses the SCUMM system that was used in Maniac Mansion before it.  This system involves choosing certain verbs to interact with objects and people in the game.  However, this game features something that no other adventure games of the time had.  The &quot;Indy Quotient&quot; system gives the players points based on how they solve certain puzzles.  This gives puzzles multiple solutions and adds replay value to the game.  Also included in the game are action sequences where Indy must fight to get by guards.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>06 Feb 2007 06:09:19</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Sam &amp; Max: Culture Shock</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/cultureshock/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/c/c268d13d3c5d39dfb79b62f1c18eb328_sq.jpg" title="Sam &amp; Max: Culture Shock Image" /> Sam &amp; Max - a 6 foot dog in a 3 piece suit, and his hyperkinetic rabbity-type-thing pal - are self-dubbed &quot;Freelance Police&quot; who scour the globe for odd mal-formed versions of evil to defeat, though usually by accident. <br />

The graphics and box art were designed by Chahi, while the music was composed by Jean-Fran&Atilde;&fnof;&AElig;&rsquo;&Atilde;&sbquo;&Acirc;&sect;ois Freitas.<br />
<br />
While not a great commercial success, Another World was innovative in its use of cinematic effects in the graphics, sound and cut scenes, with characters communicating through their facial features, gestures, and actions only. This cinematic style granted Another World cult status amongst critics and fans.<br />
<br />
The protagonist of the game is Lester Knight Chaykin; a young, athletic, red haired physicist. Lester arrives at his high-tech underground laboratory during a thunderstorm, and continues to work on his experiment using a particle accelerator. Right before the particles reach their intended destination, lightning strikes the lab and interferes with the accelerator causing the unforeseen teleportation of Lester to a barren alien planet.<br />
<br />
The player can control Lester using the keyboard or gamepad using four directions buttons and two action buttons: one for main actions, and one for jumping. Depending on the player's current position, movement, and status, the main action key performs a variety of actions including attacking and interacting with Lester's environment. At the start of the game Lester can only kick to attack, but later he can acquire a gun. While the movement keys normally make Lester run, the game also features sections where the player must swim, roll, or drive a vehicle. The player only has one life, but there are multiple checkpoints he can return to by entering the relevant pass code given at each one.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>10 Dec 2006 09:53:52</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Myst IV: Revelation</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/Myst4/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/7/78f64f1ed845c0a869e684793f64daad_sq.jpg" title="Myst IV: Revelation Image" /> <div class="user_quote"><blockquote class="user_quote">Within the visually awe-inspiring world of Myst, a gripping family drama will slowly unfold.

Interstellar travel was non-existent, and many star systems descended into a near-barbaric state, buring coal and gas for energy, and growing food directly from exposed topsoil.<br />

In 11,203 GY, a treaty between the Empires of Tremain and Galium formed the Third Galactic Union. Ships of the Stellar Patrol (a pseudo-military wing of the Union government on Tremain) began exploring the galaxy, searching for the human civilizations that are the remnants of the Second Galactic Union.<br />

Despite selling only 650,000 copies worldwide, Ico received strong reviews, and has become a cult hit among video game enthusiasts.<br />
<br />
Ico is noted for its highly individual artistic style. Key factors contributing to the game's absorbing atmosphere include the absence of any HUD; a bleak and washed-out use of color; low key use of in-game music, played only in selected scenes of the game; and atmospheric, ambient sound effects in the background. It makes effective use of minimal dialogue and story to forge strong emotional connections with the characters and environments in the game. It includes action, adventure and puzzle elements. The game also has a notable fictional language which has been theorized to be backwards Japanese.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>08 Feb 2007 09:19:24</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Sid &amp; Al's Incredible Toons</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/incredibletoons/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/d/db43b3c585d83f02b2d65cff2a788d93_sq.jpg" title="Sid &amp; Al's Incredible Toons Image" /> Sid &amp; Al's Incredible Toons is a funnier, cartoon version of The Incredible Machine.  It is your job to solve 100 Rube Goldberg style puzzles by placing pieces in the right spot.  The puzzle goals range from letting Al E. Cat(haha) catch Sid Mouse, helping Sid reach his cheese, or simply blowing one of the characters up.<br />
<br />
Sid and Al aren't the only characters in the game, however.  They are joined by other cartoons such as Eunice the Elephant and Bik the Dragon.  Each character acts as a different puzzle piece and is used in a different way.  Eunice, for example, will toss things that hit her trunk, while Bik will blow fire any time something hits him.<br />
<br />
There are a variety of different objects used to solve the puzzles, and they range from realistic to cartoony.  There are conveyor belts and pullies to get things where you want them, but there are also guns which will cough out bullets.  Once you master all 100 puzzles, there is also a create-a-puzzle mode where you can make your own crazy contraptions to stump your friends.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>25 Jan 2007 05:20:42</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Triptych</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/triptych/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/e/e7db72555a4fbaf1367ee267dee5d9ae_sq.gif" title="Triptych Image" /> Triptych is a fast-paced physics based block dropping game that will keep you coming back for more.

As blocks are destroyed, connected blocks are freed to move independently and blocks above will fall to fill the empty spaces. Unlike other puzzle games, the game board is a living entity where the blocks obey the laws of physics.

The game was released on several platforms including PC, PlayStation, Game Boy Color, Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation 2.<br />
<br />
Edward Carnby's best friend, Charles Fiske, has been found dead off Shadow Island, a mysterious island near the coast of Maine. Carnby's investigation quickly leads him to Fred Johnson, who informs him of Fiske's search for three ancient tablets with the ability to unlock an incredible and dangerous power. Johnson pleads with Carnby to take the place of Fiske and reopen the investigation in order to recover the tablets. Carnby accepts the mission making it his life's goal to avenge Fiske's death and find the tablets.<br />
<br />
Carnby isn't alone on his quest. Aline Cedrac, an intelligent, determined young archaeologist joins Carnby on the mission to Shadow Island. This high-spirited adventurer has taken it upon herself to find the missing tablets, but is there another reason she was so determined to come to Shadow Island? Time will surely reveal the secrets and the intentions, so on October 30, 2001 they approach Shadow Island.<br />
<br />
From their first steps on Shadow Island in the cold winter night, Carnby and Aline are immediately confronted by terrifying, evil creatures that are determined to halt their progress. Throughout the course of their investigations, every step they take, every corner they turn, they are met with suspense, intrigue and a sense of impending doom. Relying only on their instincts and limited resources, Carnby and Aline must destroy this sinister evil and uncover the truth.<br />
<br />
The player takes the role of either Edward Carnby (a rugged paranormal investigator) or Aline Cedrac (a feisty scholarly type), and find themselves marooned on Shadow Island, a haunted place where the shadows are rumored to come alive. The player soon comes under attack from &quot;Creatures of Darkness&quot; that appear out of nowhere and seem to be living shadows. These &quot;Creatures of Darkness&quot; are eventually revealed to be reptilian, silicon-based life forms from the center of the Earth, an enormous world of dark caverns known as the &quot;World of Darkness&quot;. Shadow Island apparently contains one of the many entrances to this underground world. True to their name, the game's enemies are averse to light (which apparently turns them into sand), and this figures heavily in gameplay. Players can use their flashlight to repel certain creatures, and killing them is accomplished with such light-producing ammunition as &quot;magnesium bullets&quot; and &quot;phosphorus shells.&quot;<br />
<br />
Light plays a significant role in this game. One of the game's main gimmicks is the use of a flashlight that players can use to light up the game's darkened pre-rendered screens, revealing hidden details and uncovering items.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>11 Mar 2007 06:23:46</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Atlantis Quest</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/atlantis-quest/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/4/4ffc6bf838983244b03ecf60b1f13547_sq.jpg" title="Atlantis Quest Image" /> Are you ready for an exciting quest of adventure and discovery?

<br />
Since WarCraft 3 I have had a strange fascination with tower defense games. I really like slow strategic games with virtually infinite possibilities. To a passive onlooker tower defenses may not seem very in depth. It appears that you simply are placing towers next to paths to kill creatures before they can get to the center. In truth these games can be quite complex. You need to decide what towers to build, where, when and at what stage they should be upgraded. (and to which degree)<br />
<br />
Building the right tower a square in the wrong direction or a round to late can mean the difference between a stonewall and a leaky defense. If you are playing a team tower defense you will certainly be called a noob if you leak before the later rounds.<br />
<br />
This tower defense lacks tower diversity in that all towers only have a range and damage rating. It is much more exciting when you have towers that have special effects even if its as simple as a set of land and air towers. The one thing this TD does have that seems to be unique is a never ending cycle. Basically each round monsters get progressively stronger until they breach walls. This is great but it would be much better with a leader board.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>05 Mar 2007 02:04:07</pubDate>		</item>		<item>			<title>Zep's Dreamland</title>			<link><![CDATA[ http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/game/zepsdreamland/?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss ]]></link>			<description><![CDATA[ <img style="float: left; clear: left;" src="http://static.greatgamesexperiment.com/userimages/e/e672f7ad0f40bb32c20d55fa8b746f62_sq.jpg" title="Zep's Dreamland Image" /> The game consists of navigating Zep throughout a level to reach a certain location which allows him to advance to the next level. This is not such an easy task, however. Many obstacles will be in your path, and it is up to you to determine the best (and sometimes only way) to get around them. Zep has the ability to create special &quot;blocks&quot; by using the life energy from the ground he is standing on. By building the blocks in specific patterns, Zep can alter the landscape to his ability thus allowing him to reach his goal! Again, not everything is as it seems. Zep cannot build blocks while standing on top of just anything. There are many types of ground that restrict Zep's building ability. In addition to being able to create these special blocks, Zep can also destroy them.<div style="clear:both;"></div> ]]></description>			<pubDate>27 Nov 2006 07:39:38</pubDate>		</item>	</channel></rss>
