Vector Conflict The Siege

This is a fastpaced and addicting game. You are in control of a bunker and you have to survive until the end of each level. You shoot with your mouse, rotate with [WASD] and release bombs with [THE SPACEBAR]. All is pretty silent at first, but once planes are starting to drop bombs on you and kamikaze tanks come from all directions saving your bunker doesn't look like the easiest thing to do. The game has 3D vector graphics - yes, everything is made out of wireframes.

+ interesting graphics
+ very engaging, nice music too

- could have been more complex

How My Grandfather Won the War

This game presents a child's perspective of war and the world. You pilot a cardboard plane through a dark world, full of dangers. However, if you splash any bad thing with some of your "reality serum" (or whatever that may be, the game doesn't say) you can see things as they really are: nice and peaceful. The splashy thing is limited, but it regenerates over time, so use it wisely. The entire game has an innocent atmosphere, from the cardboard drawn graphics to the relaxing music.

+ really nice concept
+ cute graphics


- if it is not splashed enough an enemy might kill you and you do have a limited number of lives

The Gun Game

As the title suggests, this is a game with and about guns. Basically, you choose your gun and shoot from the firing area. You can play in either Campaign, Challenge or Warm-up mode. There are three campaigns, each with different purposes: shoot moving targets, kill another "hand with a gun" or kill the target with a very small amount of bullets. The challenge mode is also divided in three game types, my favorite being the Skill Challenge, where guns mix perfectly with puzzle. To get more guns, simply get more achievements.

+ addicting gameplay
+ many game modes
+ achievements

- might not work properly on slow computers
- the campaign is just too easy

Medieval Rampage 2

What we have here is a frantic game with tons of achievements. Just like in the first Medieval Rampage, you are an archer that shoots beasts. The game is quite addicting and has lots of different monsters and weapons. Boss fights appear every couple of levels. You can upgrade your character and weapons between levels in RPG style.

+ alert gameplay
+ diverse enemies and weapons

- it feels repetitive after a while

Air something

Shooters are usually alert, stresful games and very violent ones too. It seems that Air something's creator didn't know the rule because this is the most relaxing shooter I've ever played. The music is joyful, the graphics are clean and peaceful, none of the violence is there... Sure, you are a plane that shoots other spacecrafts, but even your projectiles seem harmless. As in all shooters, there are bosses and projectile upgrades.

+ nice graphics
+ good atmosphere

- minors bugs
- too few upgrades
- too short

SkyFyre

SkyFyre is all about riding your dragon and shooting all the monstrosities you encounter. It has some RPG elements: you can choose between 4 types of characters and you can upgrade your skills gradually. The graphics are pretty nice and the enemies are numerous. However, it's the kind of game in which you have to replay levels in order to buy vital upgrades.

+ cheerful graphics

+ upgrade system

- lack of diversity
- minor bugs (although the authors are updating it frequently)
