The
Dickens Game involves an amount of
point'n'clickery , but really it's more about read'n'learn than anything else. Still it looks good, and you can feel slighty more cultured once you have played (like we need too!), it's probably best for the kids though if you want them to learn a little more about literature [

Trapped: You wake up in a room... you don't know how you got there... you need to escape... It's a familiar
point'n'click room escaping tale that we've seen many times before, but we still love it. With
Trapped we've even seen the
game name used several times before, but this time we have a cheesy voice-over, which makes it a winner for me [

Codebreaker features 20 levels of url changing puzzle fun, and contains plenty of code breaking (hence the name), so you'll have to break out all those memories from the cryptography hut during the war. Unless they're all from reading "
Enigma", in which case I'm sure
Google will be willing to help [

Samare is only the first part of a much bigger
point'n'click game, and I'm not sure how much you can achieve yet (the pinnacle of my adventuring has been finding three star-like objects that I have been unable to use). However it's well worth a look as the graphics and music are well done and very atmospheric (your moving shadow character was a nice touch), and it'll be good to see how it progresses over time. Give it a try and see if you can get further, or find more, than me (I never found any illumination to enter the dark cave, or worked out if you can/how to use the dreamcatchers yet). And if anyone can translate some of the French text into English that would be cool [

Broken Sword Lost Scenes is a nice looking
point'n'click adventure (unfortunately there is no sound) that adds to the commercial
Broken Sword series. I recommend checking the "instructions and hints" section before you start playing as the controls are a little unusual, although they are easy to use once you know how. There's even an
official walkthrough if you get stuck [

Where In the World is another one of those URL changing puzzles, but this one has a theme; you progress through the levels by identifying landmarks and places from around the world. Maybe my geography is just good (I doubt it), but I've found it a breeze so far, but it's a nice little diversion none the less. My only warning is on the irritating pop-up/under ads which take a while to sort out at the beginining [

Additional Warning: Make sure your anti-virus, firewall, etc is up to date before you click to play on this one. I did not have any issues, but there are a few reports that some of the pop up/under ads contain some unfriendly items.
A quick update on a
previous post: I did like
N'Joy - 10TH Planet in Greek (a beautiful language to listen to), but it's now
available in English too for the linguistically challenged like myself [

Confusion abounds around
Gwen/Hell, but all you need to know is that it is a beautiful
point'n'click game, with some chilled sounds and music, and an, always great to have,
Samorost vibe. Click "map" then "game" to start the game.
If you really care about these things, and aren't already engrossed in the beautiful game, there are several areas of confusion around the game. First the name. I've seen it called "Gwen", and "Hell", I suspect that it is neither of these and it is actually something non-English. Which brings me to confusion number two: The game is billed as the "Chinese Samorost", but it was originally on a Taiwanese site, which then seemed to dissappear and I've ended up linking to a Russian hosted copy. Finally the game actually seems to be a mini web site with links to the team behind it and a few other items (which is why you end up clicking "map" then "game" to start), which made some sense when it was on the original site, but is a bit weird now the file is being hosted elsewhere. However all confusion aside, it's still a great game - although we'll probably all think it's too short [

Alien Grrrl is a
point'n'click game that sets out to be nothing to do with escaping rooms (see screenshot above), and instead gives us a good old treasure hunt. Why it involves us being an alien though, or why we are a "Grrrl" either for that matter (it's the alien spelling I'm guessing), I'm really not sure. Anyway my advice is be prepared to walk down lots of corridors [

A Fistful Of Revenge is a western style
point'n'click game - an angle on p'n'c I don't remember seeing before. There are few too many conversations for you to click through here for my liking (TV has destroyed my attention span), but I'm captivated by the cat nodding along to the guitar player. The plot behind the game is that someone has killed your brother, and your task is to find the "dirty son of gun" who did it and make him pay - which will mean finding a gun, and knowing how to use it. Good luck [

Goobike One-Off (note that is the right spelling) is the latest game from the creators of the
gotmail games, although this one is on a different website. In this one you have been in your workshop working on your shiny motorbike, but now you are trapped inside with it, which is your cue for some
point'n'click action [

From the creators of the
The Grudge 2 Game comes something completely different -
Warrior King, a fighting game. I'm not normally into these punch'n'kick'em'up games, but it does make for a great stress reliever, and also I found this one incredibly easy, which is good as I'm normally rubbish at them, and get embarrassed when I can't get passed the first screen. My advice with
Warrior King is to stick with punching as it seems to be way more effective and got me through a load of the game with maximum stress relief, and minimum effort [
