Game of the Week: Penguin Diner 2

June 3, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This week’s game is Penguin Diner 2, a (by the author admitted) rip-off of Diner Dash, and a sequel to Penguin Diner.

It puts you in the shoes (or skates as you will) of Penny, a penguin waitress, who has finally returned home to create the perfect diner. And this involves adding tables, comfy chairs, decorations, speed skates, top chefs, and themes to the diners in various regions of the South Pole.

A funny game, very reminiscent of Diner Dash, but the way the penguin guests attract your attention is the best: a friendly “Helloooo”. Good for a couple of hours of quick reaction fun.

Game of the Week: Papa’s Taco Mia

May 27, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This week’s game of the week is Papa’s Taco Mia.

In this game, you win a taco eating contest, and the first prize is… your own taco shop. I know, I’d rather win that car or boat, but no, your reward is working.

In the taco shop, you have to take orders, grill the meat, and finish the taco with the customer’s toppings. The faster and better you do it, the higher your score and tips are.

The game is very reminiscent of Papa’s Pizzeria. No big surprise, they’re both from Flipline Studio. The differences between the two games are not that big, as they even seem to use the same customers in both games. The toppings are a little easier in Taco Mia, but the grilling/baking is definitely easier in Pizzeria.

Give it a try (on both games), and see which one you like better. Happy grilling this weekend!

Game of the Week: Paper Train

May 20, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This week’s game came to my attention because a version of this (older) game was released for the iPad.

Paper Train is a combination of puzzle and reaction game, in which you control sets of trains being unleashed on a railroad track drawn on paper. You control the trains by switches and signals, and in some cases there are trains you can’t control at all.

A nail-biting game (will this train pass in front of the other or get hit), that is addictive in it’s “one more try” principle.

Game of the Week: Angry Birds – in Chrome

May 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This week an older game, that used to be an install. Now it’s available in Google Chrome: Angry Birds.

Rovio stated in the keynote on Google I/O 2011 that when the Webstore would be fully operational, they would make the Mighty Eagle available as well.

I guess that’s all I need to say about that.

Oh! One more thing: there are several Chrome levels built into the Chrome version.

Have fun!!!

Game of the Week: Stuntpilot

May 6, 2011 By Leave a Comment

This week’s Game of the Week is a nifty little acrobatics game called Stuntpilot.

You’re piloting a stunt plane, that flies through a series of rings. Touch a ring, and you have to bail out of the plane. Each level gets progressively more difficult, with hot air balloons, zeppelins, towers on the ground and more difficult placement of the rings.

A sometimes frustrating game, but fun to spend a couple of hours on.
