Games

I’ve been playing a few online games recently, and Amy picked up Civ II again. I think she’s to 1500AD or so, and is busy fighting the Celts and Aztecs.

Some of the games I’ve been playing:

Desktop Tower Defense

A “Tower Defense” Flash game – you set up a bunch of towers that shoot at the bad guys who are trying to get from one side of the board to the other. Relies greatly on making a maze to hold up the enemies, and attack them while they’re being restrained.

Flash Element TD

A similar game to the one above, but the path is fixed. There’s also a neat interest mechanic, and your score is based on the amount of gold you have, so to get a high score, you should build as few towers as possible to get the job done.

No Gravity

This is a PSP homebrew (that is, it runs on all PSP’s that have firmware 1.5 or one of the newer Dark~Alex open edition firmwares) 3D space shooter game. You fly around in space, shooting at other ships, picking up stuff, etc. It’s quite fun, and very polished, with lots of different weapons and great graphics.

So yeah, I hope you waste a few hours playing these – just don’t blame me!
