Armadillo Run

Fantastic physics-based puzzle game.

Runs even on pretty rubbish PCs.

Buy it.

(Or download the demo first if you don’t believe me.)

ZAngbandTk (PC)

After a bad, bad run of very early deaths Giles XX was doing relatively well – he’d reached level two – until he opened a door and a wildcat pounced, killing him in two hits. This game loves to kill.

F.E.A.R.

Just a quick go. I’ve taken my PC off my TV and put it back on a monitor and instad of speakers I’ve plugged headphones in. It’s improved the experience greatly. With the sounds so loud and close the scary bits are more unnerving and the fighting bits are just immense.

Good stuff.

Really is bed time now, though.

Rise of Legends Demo

Decided to download and install this. It’s been a very long time since I got into an RTS. Hated it at first, but then I remembered it was an RTS, not a shooter and readjusted my expectations of how long things should take. Once I’d got back into the right mindset – build base, gather forces, then venture forth – I started to really enjoy it. Especially as I won, despite my hero having been killed at the start. It’s a rather generous demo, too, as there was another level after that one. Unfortunately, I didn’t do so well and a giant salamander wiped out my whole army. So I quit.

You know, if this was available for less than twenty quid, like most PC games, I might be tempted. But it’s one of those odd expensive PC games, so I don’t think I’ll buying it.

Runs really smoothly on my PC, too, though it doesn’t really look anything like the screenshots I’ve seen. PC games, eh?
