Wojtek is enthused about this tetris style online puzzle “Colour Triplets” and quite rightly too! A pretty simple casual game yet nicely done. It uses OpenGL so make sure you have proper drivers installed. You can find more games on this site that run nicely on netbooks, but this one is, in my opinion, the best one. The site offers online rankings, but there is little competition (at least for now). Unfortunately you cannot check your high-score in game – it opens your default web browser and you have to register in the service in order to play, but registertion is free and quick & painless.

Kyle G. reports on a classic platformer. “This is a classic platform motorbike game where the objective is simple: Collect the Apples and get to the flower in the least amount of time that you can. Be aware of obstacles like “KILLERS.” They are spinning spikes that will kill you if they make contact with your tires or your head. There are 18 levels available in the shareware version, and 54 levels in the full version ($9.95). The only keys thats used are the arrow keys and the space bar. Runs pretty good on a netbook”
F4LL0UT knows his games, and this one is simply superb! “While I’m not a fan of tower defense games in general, I instantly fell in love with this one. Zombies are invading your house and your plants are your main defense. Bigger hordes of more and more dangerous zombies demand cunning tactics and a wise choice of plants. Unlike most tower defense games this one has a very clever system of special zombies that can only be harmed in a certain way and also comes along with a an interesting way of gathering ressources. And a lot of randomness along with special plants that can be used rarely but have a chance of saving your ass in really grave situations make this game a very intense and dramatic experience. A whole bunch of minigames are further expanding the game, offering many many hours of fun.”
