Chessmaster 10th Edition JC
Windows | Encore, 2008
Cool, but needs a polishing
Great program that sharpens up your game & schools you on the finer points. There are a few minor bugs, but nothing that affects the gameplay. Having worked as a game tester, these bits jump out at me. Bottom line: I trample my opponent much more often since getting ...

Crazy Machines: The Wacky Contraptions Game Win/Mac
Mac OS X, Windows | Viva Media, 2005
Super fun, Awesome Game
If you like building contraptions then this game is for you. I am a mechanical engineer and I love playing this game. Some levels take more critical thinking and problem solving, but that's what makes the game challenging and fun. You'll love this game!

Insaniquarium

Insaniddicted!
Kids may love it, but adults do, too. I'm so addicted to this game I see fish and coins when I close my eyes. My college kids downloaded it to try one night and spent HOURS sitting opposite each other on their respective laptops, intently feeding the fish and filling ...

A demo version of this came with my computer, and after a couple of days, I knew I had to buy it. Play it with a combination of skill, foresight, and patience, and don't let it frustrate you. You will be rewarded with more challenging levels. It's great brain ...

CD was in excellent condition. This game reminds me of scrabble, which I like to play, also.

More Brain Games
Windows | CSDC, 2006
Good game program.
The games in More Brain Games are definitely challenging. They're a little hokey and there is little positive reinforcement, short of scores that you can keep on the toughest set of games and only on that set, which is why I give it only four stars. But it does keep ...

Bejeweled
I enjoy playing this game a lot and so do my grandchildren. I play it mostly for keeping my reflexes in good shape and it helps me conscentrate. Very good for keeping an older person's mind alert.

Crazy Machines 2

Still Crazy After All These Years!
After all the negative reviews from folks who did not have the hardware to run this game, I thought it would be helpful to have a review from somebody who has actually played it for a while. In a nutshell, this game is awesome--both for adults and kids. The graphics ...

Chuzzle

Cute cute cute
Whoever designed this game had me in mind. For those who play it, make sure you leave your cursor on a chuzzle for about 30 seconds, and also let them fall asleep.

Risk II JC

Harder and more complex than the first Risk.
I have played both versions of risk and while I like both games this version is more of a challenge. You can play three different ways,1. Classic version can be played,2. Tournament, which has many levels with different missions on each level,3. Same Time, which is ...

Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor
Windows | Mumbo Jumbo, 2008
hidden object game with a twist
This game is loads of fun to play. Click in error and get a funny surprise. The reason I gave it a 4 star was because it is really short. It should be twice as long. Also, the replay is only several times. I see where they are coming out with another game of this ...

Monopoly 2008
Windows | Encore Software, 2007
Great Game
This keeps you entertain and it is like playing the actual Monopoly. The only thing is that once you land on a property you have to buy, if you choose not to you have to bid. Why can't you just pass and move along?
Otherwise great fun
