InstantSonic again with some gaming goodness! Released in 2003 for the PC, PS2, and X-Box, Beyond Good and Evil is a game in a genre all it’s own, mixing platforming, racing, stealth, action, and adventure into one bag.

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.” Continue Reading

Secret has found this little free game called "Within a Deep Forest", why not download it and check it out for yourself?

Runs great on a netbook or laptop. Not really great replay value, but awesome on the first go. If you’re really good, you can beat it in a few hours. Can be frustrating at points, but it’s overall a really fun game. You control a bouncy ball, a failed expreiment by an evil scientist. The scientist plans to detonate a bomb that would destroy the world. It’s up to you to stop him.

More from Jeffrey Piatt…

Both are Apogee’s only edutainment titles and are one of the last of the old style of educational titles. put out in 1992 and built with the same engine that powered the Duke Nukem games. The plot centers around the Gruzzles witch steal either all of the numbers or words. In Word Rescue you match words to pictures by jumping over rectangles along the level witch plays like any other platformer to exit each level you must correctly match all words to complete the key to the exit. the game keeps a non violent feel by having you slime the guzzles making them go away instead of killing them. Math Rescue plays much the same way you have to collect numbers and solve math problems to exit the level. Both allow you to play either as a boy or girl. both also split episodes in classic apogee fashion as separate exe files. The low system requirements make it a excellent game to install on to an older computer to give to a young child. Apogee sells both as download-able games bundled with dosbox
