I don't know if I'd call
The Control Panel a
point'n'click game, it's far too much of an oddity to be categorised, although you will be doing a lot of pointing and clicking while you play. It makes a little more sense if you know it's by Shaun Salzberg, author of the very different, but equally as weird
planets. Anyway I hope you have some success with it, personally my brain has started to leak out of my ears trying to figure the thing out [

Ouverture Facile isn't just another online puzzle game where you have to change the URL to progress to the next level, although you do have do a bit of that, this one also features some nice flash elements which really adds something to the whole experience. Oh, and it's in French, did I not mention that before? Well you might have guessed from the name anyway. "
Ouverture Facile" is French for "Easy Opening", which I would think is probably telling us that the game is easy to open, but difficult to close/finish. Bonne chance mes amis! [

I know
BF Goodrich make tires. Sad fact fan that I am, I also know they are one of this year's type suppliers for the
WRC. Unfortunately neither of these facts helps me in the company's
point'n'click game, imaginatively entitled the "
BFGoodrich Game", where you have to find the four tires for the car against the clock.
In
A Sunken Ship's Tale you use
point'n'click techniques to uncover the tale of ...er... a sunken ship. Hmmmmm.... educational.
"The future of technology is wireless... such as the Walkman". I'm enjoying a
Strong Bad renaissance at the moment. Why haven't I read his sbemails for so long? Anyway I'm happy to be back up to speed - Strong Bad's
technology lesson is a classic.
Yizhi as you non-english-language-phobes might guess from the name is not in English, I think it's actually Chinese. Don't quote me on that though, I've made mistakes before. Anyway the game, as far as I've worked out so far can be done even without a knowledge of Chinese, although some of the hiding places are a little tricky and small. Fortunately our friend the [TAB] key works for all you cheaters out there. Not that I tried that. Obviously. Some cheater told me. Honest. Oh before I go, as I've clearly forgotten to mention it so far, this
point'n'click game is in the "escape the room" style, well "escape the cell" in this case.
Another teaser for an excellent game coming soon... This time I have news from
Ben, creator of the superb
Exmortis (play it now if you haven't already, or play it again to catch up - it first came out in 2004), apparently the sequel is 75% complete, and he hopes to have it fully complete by the end of February. I can't wait, hopefully it's as spooky as the last episode, judging by the eye candy he's sent through it certainly looks as good, if not better than the original. Here are the sceenshots I'm drooling over now:
Podstar.Runner offers classic
sbemail to dowload onto your video iPod... awesome! The only thing is I don't have a video iPod... Can you play m4v files on a PSP? I don't have it with me right now to try it out, but I suspect the answer is "no". I want
Strong Bad on my PSP now! Bring on Pspstar.runner! [

Can you find the jewel in the
Tower? A really very nice looking
point'n'click ('n'drag) adventure with some spooky, but simple, background music. Note: Lazylaces' posting of this game does not mean we generally endorse "rescuing" jewels from
other towers [

More from the creators of "
Messiah From Darkness" in "
Exodus Core". In this
point'n'click adventure (actually you use the cusor keys, [SPACE] for actions, [SHIFT] to run) you guide a young Japanese lady around a deserted deep-sea biosphere, well I say deserted, I have seen 3 dead bodies, a tentacle creature thing hanging out of the ceiling and a woman with some kind of mutating face, so there's no need to feel lonesome.
Messiah From Darkness is the
point'n'click sequel to
12 Doors, which means another great game that you don't quite understand, at least if your only language is English anyway. Both
Jay and I are stuck at the crazy omnipotent god with all the arms (pictured above) - has anyone managed to progress beyond this? [

If you are looking for an easy
point'n'click adventure then
The Legacy Of Pliskin is ideal. It still takes a while to complete, and is quite an entertaining romp, but linear enough to pretty much guide you to the end with no hassles [
