Seemingly the follow up to
Heart Key,
Heaven's Key gives you another chance to do a bit of room escaping to hone your
point'n'click skills. And to brush up on your Japanese. And it's against the clock. Good luck [

Well I
post one game for download and another arrives almost immeadiately in my inbox. Perhaps there is an untapped source of
point'n'click adventures here? Anyway, the first challenge with
Wonderworld is to work out how to download it - while you can chose to play in a variety of languages (including English you'll be glad to hear) the download site is in Norwegian. Look for "Nedlasting" (Norwegian for download) in the right hand column, and you shouldn't have any problems. Once you have the game loaded the idea of the thing is to save the world (that old chestnut). What could be simpler? [

I don't normally feature games for download, but
Out Of Order appears to be worth it, as it's quite a big
point'n'click adventure for you to really get your teeth into. Oh, and did I mention it was free. No? Well it is. The game starts with you (and, curiously, your bedroom) being kidnapped, with the rest of the bizarre plot stemming from that. I'm sure you'll work it out. One word of warning, despite the cartoony graphics and wacky music, there are a few mildly adult jokes so don't unleash it on the (young) kids. You should enjoy it though [

The winter olympics might be over, but that doesn't mean you can't get a bit of practise in for the biggest event,
Puppy Curling. What do you mean you can't remember watching that one on television? It was there. Honest [

Sleuth is a text based adventure series (although the site has some atmospheric graphics) where you can solve mysteries, form agencies and anger political factions. You have to create a detective, but it only takes a few minutes, and while you have to register, you don't have to leave an email address if you don't want to. Be warned though, you have to subscribe (i.e.
pay) for what look like the juiciest adventures, but I guess that's a decision you can make once you've played the free bits [

There's some confusion over the proper name of this little
point'n'click game, I'm guessing because very few of us speak Slovakian. I've heard it called "Escape The Lonely Island", "Escape The Beach" & "Ostrov", among others, I've settled for "
Ostrov Island". Anyway, whatever it's called, you're definately stuck on an island, and it's a Slovakian island, which makes understanding all the little notes and instructions a little tricky. Unless you're Slovakian, of course [

I'm not even sure how
Prince Of Pension gets it's name as I don't know enough Russian, and by "enough", I mean "any", to work it out for myself. Anyway I assume the name has been correctly translated by some one, and it doesn't stop you enjoying this
point'n'click game (although I suspect it makes it a lot harder). All I've worked out so far is that there are 3 levels of difficulty, dpending upon which character you pick at the begining (they get harder as you go down the page), and it's important to jump over obstacles as you lose a life if you bump into them. Oh, and perhaps most importantly, while you use your mouse for picking objects up, you need to use your cursor keys to move around [

Another slice of
point'n'click quality for you from the
Escape to Obion team with the release of
Episode V in this great series. From what I understand there's no slow down in the rate of production (they were running at one episode a week), but the delay on this has been due to hosting cost issues (no need to tell me about that one), so if you enjoy the series you might want to visit their
donation page [

If you like puzzles you're probably still stuck googling, examining picture properties, etc with many of the wealth of puzzles that have been released recently, but I'm sure your massive brain has room for some more - so here's 32 levels (currently) of
The Ultimo Puzzle. Good luck [

I've been a fan of the
Flickr service for a while now, and now there is a great game called
Fastr based upon it. It's very similar to
Guess-The-Google, you have to guess the common theme word from a group of pictures, the pics are revealed one by one, and the sooner you guess the common theme word the more points you gain. Also with
Fastr you can see your scores alongside other folks currently on-line which adds a nice competitive element to the whole thing [

The Hills Have Eyes Game is probably not one to share with your kids. Featuring, as it does, shooting attacking mutants. You might even want to skip it if your scared by that sort of thing. Anyway for the rest of us it's time to crank up the volume, turn down the lights, and get your favourite teddy bear to hand for reassuring cuddles...
In the
The Hills Have Eyes Game you try to escape from a mineshaft, shooting the mutants that try to stop (and eat!) you. The game is more
Doom, than
point'n'click, although it's not a million miles away, especially if you've played some of the scary ones. There are a few bonus items to collect, especially useful are the batteries which you can use in your flashlight, if your flashlight batteries run out the mutants get you. Apparently mutants have excellent night vision. Eeeeek!
One further word of warning - the controls involve using the mouse for looking (and shooting), and the cursor keys for movement. If you are playing on a laptop, like me, you might want to leave this one until you are back at your desktop machine, unless finger pain is your bag [

Thought your cursor pointer was safe? Well
Cursor War has just been declared. The opposing side has great jumping skills, iron girders, guided missiles and so much more on it's side. All you have are top mouse *skillz* from all those point and click adventures you've been playing. Good luck [
