DuzzQuest 2 - Final Screen
When you complete DuzzQuest 2, you'll be treated to a dance sequence! Funny game (sometimes rather bad taste but always funny), took about an hour to complete I guess. Some good puzzles, great intro sequence and fun graphics. "My First Scrapbook" ma...

You may not know this, but Duzz is a crazy Aussie guy many moons ago released the very funny game DuzzQuest (I reviewed it here way back in June 2004). Half a decade has now passed, and having saved the world once, Duzz if back in a new adventure ca...
Masters of Sound
Another short but fun game, Masters of Sound is an amusing way to spend half an hour. Some of the puzzles do rely on a little bit of pixel hunting, but at least it's all logical. Don't expect amazing graphics but the animations are fun and the way ...

I told you earlier about this little one room adventure game, and it took me maybe 20 minutes or so to complete it. The puzzles aren't particularly difficult and there's not a great deal to it (it's designed as a "snack-sized" game after all), but w...

First Thoughts - Shai-la of the Sith
Have had a look at Shai-la of the Sith now... looks and sounds pretty good but then you'd expect that as most (all?) of the GFX and SFX are ripped from commercial titles. The gameplay was just starting to get interesting when it crashed. At the mom...
Freeware News - "Kingdom o' Magic" Remake
I have to admit that I don't remember playing the original game, but so far this looks like it's going to be amazing (and possibly the biggest AGS game ever made) - check the development log here and grab the demo here. (Just to warn those with slow ...
Thoughts on "Chatroom"
This intriguing game made with AGS is set in - you guessed it - a chatroom. In fact the whole game simulates a chatroom, where you have to uncover the mystery of what's happened in a post-apocalyptic environment, where "bots" are threatening to dest...
