Robot Wants Puppy

After playing Robot Wants Kitty what better way to finish off your afternoon than to play Robot Wants Puppy. While the previous game was mysterious with it's lack of explanation, this game comes with a introduction sequence giving you details into the characters involved and their motives. This proves completely invaluable unvaluable, and the game plays very similar to it's precursor. The main difference this time being the addition of your newly aquired sidekick - the kitty.

Acheivement Unlocked 2

After the success of Acheivement Unlocked - a game where you play as a dark blue elephant to complete a collection of 100 tasks - there is now Acheivement Unlocked 2! In the sequel you play as a light blue elephant, and there are now 500 acheivements to unlock. There are also five "level packs" to purchase using the in-game coin system. Is it possible to have too much fun?

Robot Wants Kitty

Robot Wants Kitty is an endearing tale of one robot's love for his kitten. Evil alien-type things have kidnapped (kit-napped?) the kitten and it's your quest to return him/her. During the game you obtain various power ups which give you access to delve deeper into the alien's lair.

This classic platformer takes about twenty minutes or so and there's no way to save your progress, so when you have a spare moment why don't you help the poor robot out?

Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe

Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (or OpenTTD) is based on the classic game Transport Tycoon. You can build road and rail networks, as well as airports and docks and then instruct your vehicles to carry cargo between destinations. There are several AI opponents to play against, or you can play online against the community of players who have probably devoted way too much time to the game. OpenTTD has just reached a milestone in its history as version 1.0 is finally available. Apparently the game ends in the year 2050 but it would take about 24 hours of playing for me to find out, so I haven't... yet. Overall this is well worth a download if you enjoy micromanagement games.
