Zetrix: Tetris Reloaded!

Remember Tetris? That lovely game that many played so much that they saw falling bricks when they closed their eyes or even dream about them? Well, Zetrix is essentially a Tetris clone. Although it does add a couple cool neat things. The nice shiny new coat of paint for example. ^^

The other thing is that the blocks float on water. Water that can be raised and lowered with powerups. So, raising the water at the wrong time can cause you to lose the game. Other powerups include an extra points powerup and a bomb powerup. The latter can be a blessing or a curse. It's good when you messed up and need to fix it but bad when you are trying to do a huge combo. It just deletes the bricks that would've scored you more points. There are also new shapes that fall down.

Relive the good ol' days!

Neat Spin on a Beat 'em up

Rumble box is a 3d beat 'em up where the goal is to get out of a box. How? Since the characters are made up of little blocks, when you defeat them they fall apart leaving a pile of blocks behind. You must pile the bodies up until there is enough filling the box so you can escape. Watch out though! Some of the enemies have bombs for heads and explode when defeated.

Rumble Box is a fun little game that's easy to pick up and play. Thank you Digipen students!

Pile 'em up!

Secret Service Game

Black Shades is a neat little game where you must protect your white-clad VIP from being assassinated. Assassins, disguised as civilians, will randomly try to stab or shoot your VIP. You have to shoot them variety of weapons, tackle them, tackle your VIP out of harm's way, take a bullet for your VIP, etc. You also have some psychic-like powers at your disposal, including one similar to bullet-time which slows everything down.

Although it has blocky graphics, it doesn't matter much, because the rounds only last around 40 seconds. And it makes up for it with it's completely random city.

Try to beat my awesome score in this one! The superb score of... zero. I swear those knife guys come out of nowhere! ^^;

Note: Screenshot is from the game's website since it would not let me take one myself.

Protect [favorite famous person]! Dr. Wolfgang Von Bubbles, for example. ^^

Legos on the Computer and the Brain

What could be more blocky than Legos? That is what Blockland is about. You make a little Lego guy, you run around and build stuff. Unfortunately, this is a demo and you have limited blocks and no multiplayer.

In case you were wondering, in the screenshot I built a fort with an awesome green couch, a huge TV and an anti-gravity table with a sword. You can actually pick up the sword to presumably kill each other in multiplayer. =] There are lots of neat things you can add to the bricks like lighting, fog, transparency and emotes?

Build your own fort!

Bonus: Since I am on a Lego theme, try this falling Lego screensaver.

Defend stuffs with towers!

Vector TD is a strategy game where you place towers on a grid and then let a wave of enemies come and hope the towers stop them before they can get to your base and blow you up. XD

There is a lot of strategy in this game. You not only have to select which type of tower to place, but also where to place it to be successful. Some towers slow down enemies but do little damage. Others do massive damage but fire slowly. There are also special towers that beef up the surrounding towers.

Personally, I keep getting all the way to level 50/50 And then get obliterated. Let me know if anyone beats that last level. =]

Beat my score!

International block week!

Welcome to Block week. I decided I am randomly going to dedicate a week to loosly block-related games because it sounded like fun at the time. =3

Yay for Block Week! Everyone celebrate!

Dungeon Crawling in your Browser

Old school dungeon crawling! Yay! No pesky story to get in the way of your crawling in this game. Monster Den is a really cool flash RPG, which is similar to Diablo with its randomly generated dungeons, randomized loot, no random battles, and multiple levels of doom. It does differ from Diablo because you get to have a party of four, it's turn based, and you don't get experience.

Yep, no experience. Instead, you gain a level each time you get a level deeper in the dungeon. So, actually, you could go through an entire floor avoiding every enemy. This is a bad idea though, because killing enemies and finding chests is the only way to get new equipment. There is also a boss type monster on each level that gives rare equipment.

Slay them all!

Sam & Max: Abe Lincoln Must Die

Warning: The following may seem like an advertisment. I assure you, it is only because of my fanatical love of this game.

Sam and Max Episode 4: Abe Lincon Must Die. If you don't want to download it just because of the title, you have no sense of humor. Episode 4 is part of a six episode series collectively named, Season One. Cool beans, no? You can get the entire Season One for just $30 or you can buy individual episodes for $9. Except for Episode 4, which they're giving away for free. Hooray!

Sam and Max is one of the most funny games I have played in a long, long time. From the caffeine addicted, teenage senator of West Dakota, "You control the bubbles! The bubbles don't control you!" to the hypnotized president creating pudding embargos to Max, the "hyperkinetic rabbity thing" and his constant lust for cartoony violence and destruction. Every item in the background is funny in some way, shape or form.

The gameplay is standard point and click adventure stuff. From what I've played so far, it doesn't seem too difficult, which is good because it doesn't mean you have to wade through frusteration to get to the next big laugh. The sound is awesome. Nice music and cartoony sound effects. Every line is voice acted and well, at that. The graphics are fitting. Cell shaded, cartoony goodness. My only problem with them is I don't like the way the president looks... but, I guess that just adds realism. =D

Kill Abe Lincoln! It's what heros do!

Crayon Physics! Fun for the whole family!

Yes. The whole family. Except Uncle Steve, but nobody likes him anyway.

Play with gravity and crayons at the same time! My dream finally a reality! =D In Crayon Physics, you draw shapes to try to get your ball to collect the star in each level. Make another ball on a slope to smash them together to get it rolling in the right direction. You can even do advanced things like build a catapult to launch the ball into the air.

It is a really fun game. Although, it is kind of short. To remedy this, you can download fan made levels off of his site. The author has started working on a 'Crayon Physics Deluxe' which promises to have more levels, improved physics, improved crayons, and a better level editor.

There are also quite a few other games on his site such as one where you must time a sentence over and over in a mock word processor until an error pops up and you must curse into a microphone and smash the keys until it goes away.

Colorize stuffs!

Need an MMORPG fix? Rappelz for you!

Rappelz is a good free MMORPG where you choose to play as what is basically either a dark elf, light elf or wood elf. I did like this games tutorial levels which did a good job of teaching you how to play and figuring out the unique features.

The graphics are great. And there is lots of different types of enemies to be fought. The main problem I have with the game is the quests. They are a bit more repetitive than similar games. I've also heard that leveling slows way down after awhile.

Unleash your inner elf!
