Game du Jour is a "One Deal a Day" website for casual PC games. Every day of the week, GameDuJour.com sells one downloadable game at a steep discount.

Every week Blogcritics Magazine will bring you a look of those games, so you know what to expect when the featured game gets its 24 hours in the spotlight.

We aim to publish reviews at least one day before the game goes on sale at GameDuJour.com, so please check back regularly. But we will admit, as much as we love casual games here at Blogcritics, we won't be able to get to every title.

Gunstorm II
Writer: Kevin Cortez

Gunstorm II is a pretty fun action game. It plays in the same way the classic game Asteroids once did. You move your mouse left or right to rotate your ship, press the left mouse button to shoot, and hold the right button to move your ship with a boost. It's as simple as that. Players will enjoy moving the ship smoothly across the map and blasting constantly at enemies with one of the eight weapons available in the game.

I had a ton of fun with this one. The music, which kind of reminded me of 80s pop, or A Flock of Seagulls, was actually not that bad. This casual game actually had a band and singer to do their theme song!

Gunstorm II also includes many other game play modes that can be unlocked the more times you play the game. You can even play the original Gunstorm with the new weapons that are introduced with this sequel. I highly recommend this game, for its fast and addictive action, and fun game play.

Airstrike 3D
The ultimate helicopter game with great graphics and gorgeous effects awaits you!

You have not seen a helicopter game like this one before. AirStrike 3D: Operation W.A.T. is more than just a game. It is action packed, adrenaline filled, apocalyptic survival experiment for the daredevils.

Platypus
Collosatropolis has invaded the peaceful land of Mungola! All that stands between you and complete destruction is an antique aircraft called Platypus!
