Magic Touch


You have to give 'em credit. The rate at wich Nitrome manages to put out high-quality games are quite impressive. Each one with a new concept and gameplay while staying true to the pixeldesign. Great stuff. Here's their latest. Draw the symbols on the ballons to keep your castle from being overrun by the robotic knights.

Tower Bloxx


Great stack-em-up! Choose between two game modes: Quick play or Build City. In Quick Play, you just have to stack building blocks as high as you get. In Build City, your goal is to build a number of buildings in the same manner. The better you build, and depending where you place them, the more people move in wich unlocks new buildings. So there's an amount of strategy involved as well.

Beethovens Hair


If you're itching to know more about a certain long dead german composer with a hearing impediment, this one's for you. Not so much a game per se, perhaps, but really cool infotainment-ish, and it looks pretty good too.

Stare out

This is the classic stare game except this time you use your web cam and compete against the frickin´ english rugby team. Since I´m sooo last spring I don´t really own a webcam, so I can´t say if this is a good game or not. But the idea seems interesting. Therefore I appeal to you, who does own a web cam, to comment it.

Acrobatic mud Diving


I don't know. Maybe I'm losing it or is in dire need of vacation again - but I really found this one funny.

Zeta Flow


What better way to kill a few minutes than with a retro looking space shooter? Nothing fancy here - just blast away and avoid getting hit by homing missiles, lasers, photon torpedoes, radiating multiple bombs and everything else that is thrown at you. And, oh yeah, I like the arcade-ish wire frame graphics. Stuff like that brings tears to an old mans eyes...

Haluz I and II

Some of my all time favourite games are the Samorostgames. (If you like point'n clicks and haven't tried them I hereby order you to do so). Here's a sort of Samorost clone. It's not as stylish and goodlooking although it tries to copy both graphics, style and mood. But never the less, they have their charm.
Haluz I

Haluz II

BMW PACE - Pursuit across Europe


Graphically this racing game is really nice - love the watercolour feel of the surroundings. Works remarkably well to, so all in all - a really impressive game. Allthough I got some hangups while loading and I believe you need somewhat higher specs on your PC than I currently got to appreciate it fully. Advergame for BMW, race across Europe, from Lisbon to Paris on multiple courses, choose single or multiplayer. Register and tweak your car and engine to be sure to beat your opponents. Invite friends to race against.

Zombieland


Aahhh! Friday at last, and what better way to leave you all for the weekend than by posting yet another Zombiegame! Kind of inspired by Gunrun and Zombiegrinder6000 . Load up and skate 'em to death! ...and good luck, I only managed to stay alive 'til level 6....

Japanese breakout clone with really funky music.

Asteroids Revenge III


So you like to play asteroids? Or Maelstrom? Getting off on blasting defenceless rocks in outer space, right...? Well guess what. The asteroids have had it with you and your lasers. They are pretty pissed off and are fighting back with a vengeance! Great little game that puts a twist on a very familiar concept.

Smileys Adventure


Cute one made by Agens to promote Windows Live Messenger for MSN Norway. Although the instructions are in Norwegian I 'm confident that you'll be able to grasp the idea. The intro is horrible, but the platformgame pretty darn nice. Roll around collecting stars and avoid hitting stuff that will kill you.

Bar Sports


This one won the Peoples choice Webby awards a while back. Nothing really new gamingwise but it does look pretty good, and it sure killed the better portion of my lunchbreak. Bar sports from ESPN - you know, the US sports network. Take your pick from such various events as Air Hockey, Bar Curling or Coin Toss.

Mouse in Danger


Hmpfff... i know what you're thinking. "Not another one of those guide the pointer through the maze without hitting the wall-type of games". Well, yeah. It is. With a twist. You see, it's quite tricky as you have to memorize the layout and go blind...

Jellybattle

Squishy advergame from Logitech by InBox. Sort of a followup to Jellyjumper wich we posted a while back. This time, you have adversaries and you might go head on with other players online as well. And oh yeah. I'm back from vacation.

Toxic


Nitrome has launched another brilliant looking game, but Toxic isn't exactly as entertaining as we are used to. The game play are not that challenging but it's certainly worth a round while we're waiting for Crysis. Godamn I´m excited!!

Papa's Pizzeria

Dive into the lucrative pizza business with Papa's Pizzeria. Ambitious (and I mean it in a good way) cut scenes. It takes a minute or two to understand the gui but then it turns into a nice and pleasant experience.

Gravity Pods


A ridiculous addicting game in which you need to aim correctly to hit the purple target and avoiding the obstacles. I really like the slow pased tempo.
