I don’t like this one. It’s really simple. You have an objective to defend for a certain amount of time. If you manage to survive, you get some cash and experience, which allows you to buy new weapons and costumes in the main menu. This is all there is to the game. There is no campaign or story. You just repeat the same few levels to earn new upgrades. It looks nice, and it seemed like fun on paper, but after trying it out for a while, I just find it to repetitive. I’m not going back to this one.

This is as point-and-clicky for an adventure game as It can get. You control a cute little robot and help him escape from danger, deal with some criminals which used to be his high school bullies and maybe get the girl? I’m not sure yet. What I like most about this is that you have a combination of logic based puzzles that appear in other games and actions that actually seem realistic in the situation you find yourself in. At no point in the game did I have to just randomly click around and hope that I will stumble into a solution. The game is small, so I’m in no rush to complete it, but I definitely plan to enjoy it.

This is just your basic causal game from Popcap. Most people probably know of it, or have played a similar game. Basically, you are a fish that eats smaller fish, which makes you get bigger, which allows you to eat bigger fish that would otherwise eat you. There is about 60 levels and a loose story that you follow, but nothing important. Basically, you are after a strange sea creature that seems to leave destruction in its way. It turns out its some sort of alien fish which you end up eating, thus saving the world. Anyway, the game is pretty fun for a single walkthrough at fast to complete, so I guess I can add it to my list.

This is another Indie game that I find extremely fun. It’s a physics based puzzle game where you control a space ship and fly it through various caves and tunnels. During the game, you collect various parts for your ship, which you can then add or remove on special locations in the level. This allows you to solve different puzzles. You have your regular ship engines, a stronger version of these engines, tractor beams, repel beams and similar items. I managed to complete 7 out of a total of 14 levers of the game. I plan to finish this one really soon.

Instead of Bioshock, I tried this game. This is how a PC game should be like. No bugs, no crashes, just smooth gameplay all the way. I went through the tutorials just in case something changed from the previous two games (it didn’t) and then started my first mission. I had to build an export economy based on farming, which means I was supposed to build a few farms first and then, once I get some more money, build some canneries and other factories. Since canneries can also produce canned fish, I added a few of those to the mix and the first mission was completed fast. Over the past few days, I managed to get the time to finish about five more missions and get a few achievements on the way. This is definitely a quality PC game that I recommend to any fans of this genre. I just hope I’m able to complete it before my exams start because it might otherwise affect my performance in that area, if you know what I mean.

I’m done with this game for now. It’s a great and fun game and I really like it but the bugs are just too many to ignore. It literally crashes every few minutes for me. It can happen anywhere at any time. Until a proper patch is out, I will not play this game.

This one is interesting. It’s a platformer in which the character (a little girl) moves by herself and you put items in front of her to help her avoid and pass obstacles. You put stuff like planks, stairs, jumping shoes, fans and slingshots. Each level has a number of fireflies that you can collect, and when you get a total of 100 of those, you unlock a bonus level. You don’t need to collect any to get to the next story level though. It’s an interesting game and I managed to complete about 15 levels, but I’m not sure if it gets repetitive or tedious after a while. For now I give it a four out of five.

Over the past week and a half, I played this one sporadically. I think I got to level 4.3 or so, but I’m not sure at this point. I unlocked a total of 3 mini games, and the latest plant I got was a windmill type plant that blows away fog and balloon zombies. I definitely like the game so far, but as I said, I’m in no rush to complete it.

This one got released recently and, since I loved the first one, I got it as soon as possible. I hope to complete it this week, unless it’s much longer than the first one. I don’t remember if I played the first one on easy or something, but this one feels much harder. I actually have to hide and carefully plan my strategy before engaging enemies.  It’s loads of fun to play like this so I consider the difficulty a big plus. However, there is no real penalty to dying as there is always a vita chamber nearby so if you don’t care, you could just keep rushing in over and over again and pass an obstacle that way I guess.

This is a fun little game that I probably won’t be completing any time soon. It’s a variation of a tower defense game with, as the title says, plants and zombies. The levels are short and fun so I will probably be playing it when I don’t have the time for anything more serious. I might complete it one day, but don’t expect it anytime soon.
