You might think of Sigma Chess 6.1 as 'chess on steroids'.
Probably not the game of choice for the chess novice such as myself,
Sigma Chess is the sort of game that ought to bring back the thrill of
the 'hunt' for chess enthusiasts and plain 'ol gamers alike.... [Continued]

The Seattle PI reports that Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, is
without a doubt, the hot game of the week. I would challenge that and
say this it could be the hot game of the month. I've played this game
many times over at my brothers home. Folks, it is just plain fun.
Something cool is always going on, you are not likely to find a game
that meets with this sort of quality... [Continued]

If this game was to be described in a word, what would it be?
Generic! Yes, this game does not really seem to standout at all. What
is it with Xbox games lately? Ever since Halo 2, it is like they
figure that the rest of the game selection can safely remain crap and
no one is going to mind. While the developers did in fact try to make
Blinx 2 an improved version of... [Continued]

I have to tell ya. judging from what I am reading about Katamari
Damacy. I believe that it is has to be one of the stranger games out
there for the PS2. Oh sure, the game play is pretty good and the plot
received more than a fair rating. Still, the idea of playing a game
that involves 'rolling around' sounds a little too much like Sonic the
hedgehog to me.... [Continued]

If it wasn't for the folks over at PopCap Games, I would have
nothing to do to kill the time of the day where there is nothing much
to do but trim my toenails. Now instead of pulling out the old
faithful toe nail clippers, I can play a few addictive and fun games.
All of their games are free to play Online, which is always a good
thing. If you find yourself becoming too... [Continued]

A puzzle game that is is described as both mentally challenging,
yet relaxing at the same time. Hmm, how the heck does that work.
Regardless, PRWeb indicates that puzzle game Smart Lines is supposed
to be a lot of fun. Who knows, maybe I will have to give it a try
before giving my final thoughts on it. Still, 'mentally challenging,
yet relaxing'? I just don't get that.... [Continued]

Could this be the sign of trouble from Microsoft's gaming sector?
I don't think so. The news about MS selling off Indie Built is more
than likely just another way of cutting down on non-productive depts.
Now, I must say that as an Xbox owner, MS needs to desperately get
some good original titles as Sony continues to mop the floor with them
at every turn. At this point, MS has Halo 2 and that... [Continued]

For kids my eye! This sounds like it might be fun for just about
anyone who decides to try it - with kids present of course. Cyberchase
is described as a Character-Driven Adventure Game for kids. While it
might be a little weird to play this by yourself I suppose, it is the
sort of game that parents can play with their kids and not have to
worry about nodding off.... [Continued]
