All-Time Highest Rated Games Tagged '2007' on The Great Games Experiment http://www.greatgamesexperiment.com/css/logo.jpg en-us Echoes is sort of a blend between Asteroids and Geometry Wars. Like in the classic Asteroids you control a space ship floating around somewhere in space, trying to stay alive while asteroids are flung around. But unlike Asteroids, Echoes has some extras.

Instead of just small and large asteroids, there are four asteroid sizes (ranging from mini to enourmous) comets, meteor storms, asteroid belts, planets (with moons), black holes and the sun. There are also both energy and weapon power-ups.


Echoes is created by Binary Zoo, creators of mono, Duo and DUOtris.

]]> 10 Apr 2007 02:46:54 In this 4th generation of the pokemon game series, once again you play as a boy or girl dreaming of becoming a great trainer. You set out into the world of Shinou with the task of catching, training, and possibly breeding strong pokemon. You will need these in order to beat the eight gym leaders in this game, after which you are able to challenge the Elite Four and the current champion to become the new reigning champion.
But along the way you will get involved in the plot of Team Galaxy, who intends to awaken a legendary pokemon. This legendary pokemon, like in Ruby and Sapphire, depends on the version of the game you own. Namely Dialga for Diamond and Palkia for Pearl.

Check out the group for Pokemon Fans of the World!

]]> 20 Jan 2007 06:10:37 Original game and graphics by John Gymer of Kingfisher Software. This was a originally a Public Domain release for the Atari ST.

Simply collect all the eggs on each level to progress to the next.

When you walk on tiles they become cracked and cannot be used again.

It is possible to scroll the lines/colums of tiles (CTRL+Cursors) so don't worry you cannot trap yourself surrounded by broken tiles.

Careful you don't get caught in the spider's web or you will be stuck for a moment.

Avoid the baddies or you will be a dead duck.

This game is probably more suitable for children, but can give quite a challenge on later levels.

Simple but effective gameplay.

]]> 31 Jan 2007 01:52:40 Sonic brings his trademark speed and attitude to the Nintendo Wii in his first solo adventure since 1991. In Sonic and the Secret Rings, Sonic finds himself in the colorful and vibrant world of the Arabian Nights tales.

The mystical world within the story of the Arabian Nights is being erased by an evil genie, the Erazor Djinn. The latest chapter talks of a blue hedgehog from another world coming to save the vanishing world. With help from Shahra, the genie of the ring, Sonic embarks on a new adventure to save not only the world of the book, but also to save himself, his very life force burning away after an attack from Erazor.

]]> 31 Jan 2007 01:59:55 The world's most popular party video game is getting a lot crazier in Mario Party for the Wii! Whether you're shaking up cola cans or lassoing barrels, you and your friends will be drawn into the action like never before using the Wii Remote.

All new features/boards! Mario Party for Wii also includes dozens of new mini-games, six new party boards and many new game modes.

]]> 31 Jan 2007 01:42:19 Empyreal Nocturne is a 3D aerial action game in which you combat enormous flying monsters by commanding a legion of birds.

Each flying monster, called Hydra, is a series of nodes connected together. You must defeat each weak point node to destroy the entire monster.

The design of the game is influenced by "Shadow of the Colossus". You battle enormous creatures that initially appear to be insurmountable. It is also partially inspired by "Rez" in the sense that they are both non-traditional, abstract shooter games.

]]> 11 May 2007 03:13:53 This is a very simple concept game with minimilistic almost DOSlike graphics, but hopefully with a hook of playability to have you coming back again just for the ride.

Click grouped blocks to make them disappear from the playfield - the number of blocks in the group (two or more) will determind the score given. More blocks together = higher group-clicking scores.

clicking on a single block will cause a 1000 points pentalty to be taken from your score.

If you remove an entire column then a free-column bonus will be awarded for the duration of the free state.

More blocks are being pushed into the playfield from below, slowly at first but then faster as the game continues on, until it is very frantic indeed.

If you need more blocks and the blocks are being pushed on to the screen to slowly then use mouse button two, or the space bar, to bring them on faster. You may want to do this at the start of the game, but once the speed is higher this will be the last thing on your mind!

The game is over when a stack reaches the score-line at the top of the screen.

STOP THOSE STACKS!

**This game is 100% freeware and not to be sold!**

]]> 14 Feb 2007 04:53:32 L.A.2 is Kenta Cho's first flash game, an action game based around the theme of Conway's Game of Life.

Like all of Cho's recent games, it's an abstract shooter. You control your ship with the arrow keys, and have to avoid any blue and green squares coming at you. To defend yourself you can release so called gliders by pressing and holding the Z key. Any green squares that are touched by the brown glider will become brown as well (and any they touch will become brown and so on). When you release the Z key, all brown squares explode. The more brown squares there are, the more points you get.

To understand the behaviour of the groups squares, and how they move, a passing knowledge of Conway's Game of Life, and its rules might be helpful.

]]> 08 Feb 2007 11:03:09 Grand Theft Auto IV is the upcoming tenth installment of the Grand Theft Auto video game franchise, announced to be released by Rockstar Games on October 16, 2007 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. It has been confirmed that GTA IV will run on the RAGE game engine, the same engine that powered Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis. The game is being written by Rockstar president Dan Houser.

Lazlow Jones, who has played the voice of the radio presenter 'Lazlow' in GTA III, Vice City, San Andreas, Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, is labeled as part of the cast for the game. Also listed as part of the GTA IV cast is Navid Khonsari, who voiced the porn host in Max Payne and has also voiced characters in GTA games as well, including pedestrians.

Peter Moore, head of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business division announced that Rockstar Games is working on two downloadable packs for GTA IV exclusively on the Xbox 360, which will probably be available within months of the game's release date. Moore described the downloads as "epic episode packs," and not just an extra car or character. A press release during the conference said that the packs would add "hours of entirely new gameplay" to the game. Industry sources have said that the packs will be almost as long as Liberty City Stories. There have been no details on pricing of the downloads revealed. The nature of exclusivity on these episodes is still in vague detail. It is possible that the Playstation 3 version may also include two of its own exclusive episodes as well as unlockable content unlocked by the PS3 version.
