The Great Gatsby Gets the Flash Game Treatment
When I booted up my computer today I never expected that I would stumble across a game based on the novel The Great Gatsby. But the fact that not only does something like this exist, but I can actually play it while I should be working, is just one more reason why I love the internet.
The game might not approach the novel in terms of complexity or depth, but did the novel feature a boss fight on top of a speeding train? I think not.
If you are interested, you can play the game here.
Review: Small Worlds (PC)
Small Worlds is a browser based casual platformer that was created for the Jay is Games “Casual Gameplay Design Competition #6″. While it can be finished in just a few minutes, it is one that has stuck with me for days.
You are alone on what appears to be some sort of science fiction base. The base appears to have sustained heavy damage and it’s up to you to restore power to one escape pod. You do so by traveling into different worlds where missing pieces of the station have been lost.
Micro-Review: Super Karoshi (PC)
With all the crazy technology at our disposal, gigabytes, gigahertz, and gigagodzilla, it is too easy to forget how fun and challenging even simple little games can be.
Super Karoshi is one of the best of the many flash games that are available on the intertron tubes. The goal of the game is to murder Karoshi. This is accomplished by jumping into spikes, getting slammed in the head with a hammer, or eating too many cheeseburgers. Like the best puzzle games, it forces your brain to think in new ways to accomplish your goal of killing Karoshi. Each level forces you to think outside the box in a variety of ways, so that every time you think you have begun to figure out what is going on the game throws in another unique little twist.
