Didn't even try yet

[Shoonay]

Ah, come on you guys, the game is well worth it!
It's like RodLand meets Mario meets Prince Of Persia Sands of Time, imho. With more puzzles and even more time-based puzzles

And don't care about the "rescuing the Princess" bit, it's not about that, that's just a methaphor for the simple casual player that want's to finish&forget about the game.

I just played it, it's indeed very nice. I only needed a bit of time before I discovered the time forwarding/backwarding

I also played Crayon Physics Deluxe today, just great

[Harrison]

Oh yeah, Crayon Physics is great too.

Have you also tried World of Goo? That is a great little puzzle game. Peggle is also pretty good.

There have been a lot of games released by smaller games developers recently. Thanks to the Xbox 360 and other online communities that are giving individuals and small companies a platform to release their projects on.

Another I really enjoy playing is Plants vs Zombies. I mentioned it elsewhere on the forum. You really need to try that. It got some great zombie horror film humour.

I downloaded the 2 Physics, Puzzle Games torrents from UG, they also include World of Goo and Tower of Goo. Oz played it last time. I also know Plants vs Zombies, but don't have it yet.

I also know Plants vs Zombies, but don't have it yet.

Don't try it, please, don't, never!



It's awfully addictive, so many items, mini-games, puzzles... arghhh!

[Harrison]

So true. Reading about the game, or seeing a couple of screenshots has you wondering what all the fuss is about. But as soon as you start playing it you suddenly realise how addictive it is after you look at the clock an a couple of hours have past.

And it just keeps introducing new things all the time so it never get boring. First you are in the front garden defending your house, then you are in the back garden with the introduction of water and swimming zombies, then you find yourself on the roof! It just keeps going. And then you get introduced to cultivating your own plants and buying additional plants, tools, protection etc... It just gets more addictive the more you play.

It soon becomes clear why it got such good reviews and scores in the press.
