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?

]]> 19 Nov 2006 11:59:39 Mystery Case Files: series Somewhat of virtual rendition of the popular "I spy" books, the eqully renowned Mystery Case Files series makes up for a simplistic concept with great attention to detail and production values. Clicking your mouse button to find hidden objects in locations littered with useless junk comprising the backround may sound tedious-and in some cases it really is-but MCF draws the player in with purpose, placing you in the role of a British detective. Interestingly enough each picture is actually part of a crime scene and the objects littering it are bits of evidence: find them all and you'll nab your suspect.

]]> 27 Nov 2006 04:32:10 Zep's Dreamland 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 "blocks" 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.

]]> 28 Nov 2006 01:56:10 Planetfall After the fall of the Second Galactic Union in 1716 GY, a ten-thousand-year dark age settled upon the galaxy. 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.

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.

You are a native of the planet Gallium. Although it is one of the most politically powerful worlds in the Union, Gallium is no garden spot. In fact, the Gallium Chamber of Commerce brochure entitled "Ten Great Reasons to Visit Gallium" ends on page 3. The author ran out of reasons after listing just two.

For five generations, your family has served in the Stellar Patrol. Your great-great-grandfather was a High Admiral and one of the founding officers of the Patrol. It was taken for granted that when you came of age you would join up.

Now, more than a year after signing up, and two months after being transferred to the S.P.S. Feinstein, you are still only ranked Ensign Seventh Class. You superior officer, Ensign First Class Blather, has been making your life miserable. You're begining to wonder if you're really cut out for the Stellar Patrol...

]]> 03 Dec 2006 10:02:40 Quintets Quintets is a puzzle game with over two hundred pre-designed levels and an arcade mode which creates its own random and unique levels each time it is played.

The 'quintets' themselves are the small pieces used in the game, each one consisting of a different combination of five smaller blocks.

The object of the game is to fill the playing area of each level by using all of (or as many as required) the quintets available to you. Each 'quintet' can only be used once on each level, and on most levels they can be flipped or rotated before being placed. The in-game tutorial levels allow the player to slowly familiarise themselves with the controls and strategies of the game.

The size and difficulty of the levels slowly increases as the player becomes more familiar with the game and the subtleties of how the 'quintets' fit together in different ways.

]]> 06 Dec 2006 08:56:33 Obsidian An adventure game like Myst, but with full-motion video. The puzzles range from simple to ridiculously difficult, and can sometimes be frustrating with subtle clues.

The art style is surreal, and that's an understatement. The advertising campaign was amazing, including magazine ads and tv spots.

The best way to buy it is to search around... it appears not to be widely carried.
