If you were puzzled by
puzzled 1 prepare to be puzzled by
puzzled 2 too, and if you weren't puzzled by
puzzled 1, you might not be puzzled by
puzzled 2, but if your are that might leave you puzzled as to why 1 was not a puzzle, but
puzzled 2 is a puzzle. Puzzling. What is not a puzzle is why I think my "Z" key might be broken [

You might have to use the keyboard (cursor keys, and <space> for actions), rather than using the ol'
point'n'click in
Frengers, it might be a very thinly veiled promotion for the band
Mew, but look how cute the little stick bird you control is. Ahhhhhh......
It's damn cold here at the moment (rumour has it that it's going to snow, but the
BBC weather disagrees) so I'm thoroughly in the mood for, the rather lovely,
Winter Tales. Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to guide the skiing snowman across the snowscape by laying out a path for him - the longer the path, the more points you accumulate. You get the idea I'm sure. It's rather like some other games where you guide balls through pipes, and the like, but about a billion times cuter [
NOTE: Flash 8 required, before you tell me it doesn't work].
For the sake of economy I'm condensing the news that the forth, and final, episode of
Death In Sakkara is out now, and the third episode of
The Seven Noble Kinsmen is due out today (not yet though) into one BBC
point'n'click game update. Consider yourselves updated.
By now it's a familiar story, this
point'n'click adventure might be called "
Escape The Tower", but you start by escaping a room, there's a computer on a desk, and a clue in the wastepaper basket. You really must know the drill on these things by now. This is a nice looking example, but I think it's about time for some fresh ideas in these games [

Everyone who has sent
Nothing Stays Lost Forever into me has said pretty much the same thing - "haven't started playing yet, but it looks interesting", and I'm in much the same boat. It does look interesting, but I haven't left my desk yet (in the game). Anyway this
point'n'click is all about the Bermuda Triangle, a good mysterious subject for a game, and is a trailer game for some US television series which hasn't started yet, and which I assume will take sometime to reach UK shores [

Help caveman/cavewoman
OgOg surive in the land of Ogg by finding food, shelter and fire in this little
point'n'click adventure (well keyboard and click to be more accurate) [

Currently the
Never-Ending Riddle doesn't quite live up to it's name as there are only 5 levels (including
the root), but the idea is that the puzzle grows daily with players puzzle submissions - so why not pop over and see if you can solve the exisiting levels, then put your thinking hat firmly on your head and come up with your own new level? Quite a cool idea if it takes off [

The
River IQ Game did the rounds a while back now, but for some reason I never posted it. It's the old puzzle of getting everyone from one side of a river to another using the limited space on a boat/raft being careful not to leave "bad" combinations of people together. This is made a little tricker as you have to work out what the "bad" combinations are as you go along [

In the rather odd, but cute,
point'n'click world of
Kapabo Chase you've just taken an assistants job in the Pure Color Animal Park toy making factory. Odd. Everyone in the office seems unable to hang on to anything as they've all lost something, so I'm figuring you have to find all the lost items. At the moment I'm in a clicking frenzy with the woman who's lost her hat in her locker (derr!), but she won't let me look in her locker to find it [

Update: *slaps* forehead. The "lost" items have been stolen by Kapabo who you are chasing. Hence the name. Doh!
I'm not saying
Joe In Space is the easiest
point'n'click game I've ever played, but I did finish it by accident while I was looking for a good image to take a screenshot of for the illustration for this post. As you can see, I also failed to find a good screenshot. Oh well, it'll stave of those withdrawal shivers you get when you don't point'n'clcick for a while for a few minutes (if you don't rush).
It really seems to be a slow
point'n'click week this week. Are you guys keeping them to yourselves, or are we going through a pre-Christmas gaming drought (or is everyone addicted to GTA on their PSP like I am)? Anyway some good news is that Part 2 of
The Seven Noble Kinsmen is out now, with part 3 to follow next week. Be warned though, you have to have already finished part 1 to unlock part 2.
