101-in-1 Explosive Megamix Review

101-in-1 Explosive Megamix
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've played this game quite a few times now and I'm really enjoying it. I really like how you collect gold coins by setting high scores which then enables you to buy/unlock new games. The selection of unlocked games that is given at the start is very good, I think about 10 in total. After playing them all once I've been able to buy several new games, without struggling for coins, yet. The further you proceed the higher the cost is of each game :).
The difficulty of each games varies, some games I've been able to complete first attempt, as there is required score for each game in order for it be classified as cleared. However if you clear a game you can still go back and play it and earn coins for the scores you get. Also if you are unable to get the required score to clear the game, you still get coins for the score that you managed. On the other hand, I've attempted some games several times and still haven't reached the required score ;).
I've played so far about 25 of the games, and for all of them I've only had to use the stylus, so I'm assuming it's purely a stylus based game. For each of the games which I've played, there is an instructions button before playing, which is very useful. The instructions have been nice, clear and obvious :D.
The graphics of the game is very nicely put together. Also the game offers 6 languages, English, German, Spanish Italian, French and (I think) Dutch. I think if you like short fun games then you'll probably quite like this (each individual game is around 2 minutes), I think it's something which both kids and adults will have fun playing. :D

The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions Review

The Incredible Machine: Even More Contraptions
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Every once in a while, a company manages to release a simple puzzle solving or trivia based PC game that hooks a dedicated fan base everywhere. The Incredible Machine series is one of those titles. The Even More Contraptions edition comes with approximately two hundred puzzles arranged in order of difficulty and an editor that allows you to make your own contraptions.
If you're not familiar with the Incredible Machine series, it's a layman mechanical engineer's dream. If you've ever watched a movie with a stereotypical nutty professor that has a contraption set up involving ten to twenty devices all reacting to each other in a "domino chain" to complete one simple task you already have an idea what the puzzles are like. In other words, a can opener with a can of tuna causing a cat to move which pulls a string that starts a fan which blows a wind chime that somehow turns on the TV. :D
That's how the puzzles are set up but many of the key components are left out and provided to the gamer to figure out how to get the device to work and complete the goals listed. Many times your solution is completely different from the given solution and the game doesn't limit your creativity. Over a hundred different pieces are including various gears, fire starting devices, animals, platforms, floating mechanisms, etc. Only a few picked by the original programmer are included in each puzzle but if you make your own puzzles you can pick from any device in the game.
There are also various websites set up by fans that allow you to download different creations. A fun game that you can keep coming back to as you attempt to complete the many puzzles provided.

Polar Sports, Vol. 1 Review

Polar Sports, Vol. 1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This set includes Polar Golfer, Polar Bowler, Polar Tubing, and Penguins! My son did not like Polar Golfer. One full game (18 Holes) takes about 30 Minutes, and is VERY boring. My son was watching me play and got bored after the first 5 holes.The other Three Games are pretty nice, and are fun. And, you also have to install each game indivually, which takes up some time. But the price is GREAT, [..]

Tropix (Jewel Case) Review

Tropix (Jewel Case)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife asked for this game after reading other reviews, so I found it here and bought it. I never thought a game could be so much fun and addictive. She will sit for nearly an hour and play this game! It is basically a bunch of different games within a game where you try to earn money to buy tropical islands and then outfit your islands with stuff for your monkey to use. Some of the mini games are: solitaire, a shooting game called "Puffer Popper" and "Cascade" where you must make fruit matches of three before the entire board "freezes." Once you buy enough items to make your monkey "happy" you will earn new games to play. Our 5-year old even loves to play the games - and she's good at some of them.

Tropix Review

Tropix
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm a big fan of "puzzle" games, and unfortunately am frequently
disappointed, but this one was a pleasant surprise. You start off with
just a few of the eleven games available, and have to unlock the rest,
all the while earning enough to keep a cute monkey happy with food, toys
and creature comforts. The monkey is surprisingly engaging, and it is
amusing to watch him interact with what you have provided. The games are
simple, but a few of them are quite addictive. I especially enjoy the
word game, the bowling and the solitaire. There is also a fruit matching
game which gets quite frenetic, a somewhat lame version of Mahjong, a smooth playing version of Sudoku, a charming shell game, and four others
that feature stronger arcade elements (not my cup of tea, so I don't play
them as much). Overall, a nice varied title that is a good one to keep
handy for frequent short sessions of casual play.

Elf Bowling: Hawaiian Vacation Review

Elf Bowling: Hawaiian Vacation
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this to have when young ones are at the house during the holidays. I opened it to play and had an unpleasant surprise. The opening scene was heavy strobing. For someone with seizures, this was not a pleasant surprise. While most of the Elf Bowling games are lots of fun during the holidays, I feel others need to be prepare for the strobing and not have the same experience I did.

This game gives you choices of what to play, you may or may not like the choices but for the games sake you are playing against created players that you pick. After playing a few times I got the hang of it so it has become another game to take while i'm in one of those exciting places I don't want to be to help pass the time. And yes I have to say the game is fun.

When I played this game online dozens of times before i purchaced this I was still in love with it. With the purchaced this game for download the options are limitless and cool. And talk about full screen advantage. Man, you submerse yourself in the action and the background displays. if you like bowling I strongly suggest you get this game. And you can play all the lanes you wnat with any ball you want. Customize it the way you want it for maximum fun. So save $ on shoe rentals and stay home and create your own atmosphere and do save your muscles/bicepts. lol nothing heavy to carry. you feel like you are in your own bowling alley. I hope to purchase more bowling games like this. Good luck in your purchase of this game and God bless you. HAVE FUN!!!
