GemCraft Chapter Zero

One of my favourite games from last year was the addictive tower defence game GemCraft Chapter One. This year the makers have created the prequel to it - Chapter Zero. If you're anything like me then you'll have forgotten that the original game was loosely fitted around a storyline - and this game is a continuation of the same storyline backwards. I for one was certainly wondering how all these gems obtained magical powers and this instalment sheds exactly no light on my puzzlement.
Anyway, Chapter Zero is very similar to Chapter One, but with a load of new levels, a load of new enhancements and a load of new bonus towers on each level.

Shift 3

The title of this, the third game in the Shift series, won't come as a surprise to many; Shift 3 is incrementally titled after Shift and Shift 2. It introduces a new element of adventure with the PDA powered map. There are also a load of new achievements to attain and even a couple of secret characters to unlock.

 

Stickman Odo 1

It turns out that Stickman Odo was actually Stickman Odo 2. Stickman Odo is shares the same level of random guesswork as its older brother. However it's also humorously violent in a cartoon violence way and only takes about five minutes to complete, so is well worth a look.
 

Shift 2

After a weird opening Shift 2 quickly picks up pace and is a very good sequel to Shift. More puzzles and more strange in game text and a few extra things to interact with. Now there is also a level editor, medals and a high score table (which is of course impossible to get on).

If you're interested in board games then this site will no doubt be of interest to you. There are many many games listed on here from traditional games such as chess and Monopoly, through to more modern games like the Settlers of Catan and Puerto Rico.

 

Shift

A clever platform game where the floor is the roof and the inside of blocks is also the outside... Umm... Control the character with the arrow keys and then use the shift key to invert the man about the floor he is currently standing on. Collect keys to open gates and avoid the spikes (both sides of them). There is an in game timer from which you can find your score and plenty of in game text about the in game timer (almost all of which can be completely ignored :-)
