Room
You wake up in a strange room, with no food or water, and you need to escape???? Not the most original plot in the world of the point'n'click game (although some would argue this is the only plot they have), and not the most original name either. The Room? I'd have hated to have been at the endless brain-storming sessions where they came up with that one: "Fu*k it. Lets just call in 'The Room' and get down the pub". On second thoughts perhaps I wouldn't have hated it so much...

Anyway my ranting aside, which is probably brought on more by a lack of sleep, and excess of stress this week, more than anything else, this seems to be rather a good game, and after a short playing session it has me stumped, which is always a good sign.

I have in my possession a morse code crib sheet, an un-useful penknife, a skull, a light-bulb, a shiny thing I think is a water-bottle, and a Chinese book. I also think I need to do something with the wooden board with the switch and the twisty things in the picture, but lord knows what. Any ideas my game-addicted friends?

As usual hints, tips, questions & rants in the comments for this post. [game by nnesoft].

Blasteroids
Blasteroids has many power-ups that makes it entirely different to Asteroids...well, ok, it's almost exactly the same, but if you're going to make a game almost exactly the same as another one Asteroids is a good one to pick. 'X' to shoot, <space> to bomb, cursor keys to move (volume up on headphones is also quite nice).

Exmortis
First things first - don't even bother clicking on this game until it's dark in whatever time-zone you're in. Also I recommend waiting until you're on your own, and preferably you should crank the sound up too. Having spare underpants to hand is also advisable if you are of a nervous disposition. That's the prerequisites over and done with on with the game...

I was a bit dubious at first whether exmortis even was a point'n'click game, it seemed like a simple, if very spooky, flash toy with no real purpose, until I found the locked safe and figured there must be something more going on than I realised at first. Even now (I haven't completed the game), I'm not totally sure what the eventual goal is, but a little point'n'click experience has taught me that it's almost certainly to escape the house (express solution: don't enter the house at the begining and walk away while you can!).

So far I've reached the library (pictured) and figured out that I need to collect some symbols - I don't think I have them all. Post hints, and ask for help, in the comments to this post, but for now I'm off to bed (to have nightmares) and I'll be trying to complete this one in the morning. [hosted at newgrounds].

PS. Ultra-simple first hurdle hint: click 'play this game' on the newgrounds page to play this game!

The House
Another day, another point'n'click game. And you thought Monday was going to be boring? Anode Et Cathode the same people who brought you Le Bureau now bring you The House (La Maison?). This one looks harder than Le Bureau, and I haven't got very far with it in the 5 minutes I had to tinker with it, hopefully I'll complete it tonight after work, by which time I'm sure a whole walkthru will have been posted in the comments for this post (go on guys'n'gals).

Update: Due to a server outage at work I actually got this one completed in the morning, and thanks to all the comments posted now there's probably a complete walkthru if you want to trawl thru for help.

The Blue Chamber
If you haven't pirated the password paid the yen to play it yet I highly recommend playing the blue chamber, another room escaping installment from the makers of the crimson room and the viridian room, which is now out to play (ethically) for free.

PADI Sky Diver
Scuba gear, an axe, a paddling pool and some skyscraper rooftops: all the right ingredients for a little game of 'sky-diving'.

PandAventure
Panda's little adventure is an ultra-cute little point'n'click game which I know is one of Allegra's favourites. It's not too taxing on the brain or the mouse finger, but it'll give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside. My only hint, should you need it, is that finding and using the flute is the key to the game.

YoPpi the AliEn
So you're ultra proficient at point'n'click gamery now are you? YoPpi the AliEn is darn cute, but very easy to complete (I managed it in about 5 mins without any hints), so for a challenge I'm starting the stopwatch now. Go...[ta allegra].

Shoot The Cliche
Shoot The Cliche is a nice little shooting game from those nice Dutch folks over at flabber, although shooting cute little domo kun and avoiding the awesome burninating power of trogdor is a little disconcerting.

Brain Hotel
Visit the brain hotel with the same people that gave you a case of the crabs... not, as it appears, advice that means your next stop will be the doctor's surgery, but some more point'n'click gaming fun.

Quick Brick
Not quite Tetris, but not that dis-similar, Quick Brick is an addictive puzzle game in it's own right which has already used up far too much of my time.

Appletini-lympics
"Gulp whenever Dr. Cox calls J.D. a girl's name..." The rules of the Scrubs drinking game are a sure-fire way to get drunk in less than half an hour if that's what you call fun.
