Cleopatra: a Queen’s Destiny
is a Point & Click adventure game, taking place in Alexandria, Egypt, 48 BC. The country is divided by civil war pitting Cleopatra’s supporters against those of her brother and husband, Ptolemy, who is ravaging the country.
In this climate of terror, Thomas, a young apprentice to Akkod, Cleopatra’s astrologist and astronomist, falls in love with his master’s daughter. Graphics are good — older kids to adults.

Get Stoned 3D for your next coffee break
Stoned 3D is a fun casual game with amazing 3D graphics and addictive gameplay. Your task is to catch as many falling blocks as possible and to hit the appearing dinosaurs for a good bunch of extra points.
Although it’s pretty mindless, it takes your mind for a break whether you play a short one, or a long one. Graphics are good — all ages. Full story : 3Dgrafix in Cologne, Germany See the See screen or video demo
The Curator’s Game
Thomas Hoving, director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1967 – 1977, wrote Master Pieces with Lori Stein and Kate Learson in 2005 to bring a favorite game of his to the public. The book is a great way to learn and appreciate what makes these works true masterpieces by looking at their details, reading a clue, and then guessing the artist.
This may not impress you as a game — it takes a bit more intelligence than the typical game. Good. Maybe you’ll learn something. Definitely for young adults to adults. Full story : Ballast Lane Applications See the See screen or video demo
The Free Balls
Hardcore sports Coach Timmins wants you to juggle as many sports balls as possible to prove your worth. Bounce different balls (soccer, basketball, bowling, and more!) a number of times until they burst! Be careful not to let them drop, or Coach Timmins will give you a verbal whipping!
This really is a challenging game. The balls are physics enabled and can bounce against each other for a bigger challenge. Tap the balls to bounce them up, or flick them in a direction for more precise control. A whole new spin on Tetris. All audiences.

Chutes and Ladders remix
Created in the vein of board game classics such as Chutes and Ladders, Fluke HD pits players against one another as they race to get all of their game pieces across a given board before one another…
Not my cup of tea… seems like just another game with a bird’s eye view of a landscape, moving pawns around. Yet there is some variety and diversion once into the higher levels. Graphics are excellent but at times difficult to understand. Definitely older kids or adults. Full story : Local Aliens LLC., Dhahran, Saudi Arabia See the See screen or video demo
Blowfish Bay
Blowfish seem to be in vogue these days. Yes, yet another bubble puzzle game. You’d think we’ve got enough of these.
Blowfish Bay is a fresh puzzle game with many twists and turns. Easy enough to start – just follow your gaming instincts and pop the bubbles by matching three or more of the same color. But don’t be fooled, the game quickly grows to be quite tricky and takes guts, grit and gills to master. High score hungry gamers will be pleased to learn that progress and scores will be tracked so that you can gloat over your friends petty achievements. All ages.

Banzai Blowfish
Okay, another Blowfish game … this one with a twist and slightly more hard-edged graphics. Seems like you’re always in iPhone mode! (Best on the iPhone)
Banzai Blowfish is an addictive game that not only depends on your ability to think two steps ahead, but also tests your ability to react quickly to the many twists and turns entwined in this fun game, suitable for all ages. — Mindless fun for all ages.

No Gravity
Originally released as a PSP game, players will love the fast action as they work their way through thirty-one dangerous missions in a spaceship, in an attempt to save their people. The game pits the player against evil forces who have unleashed a mind-altering sickness across thousands of colonies.
This is the kind of game that frustrates me to drinking. It’s difficult and takes some real coordination. Strikingly beautiful graphics and sounds … seasoned gamers only. SEE the video below! Full story : realtech VR – Montreal, PQ Canada See the See screen or video demo
