Challenging, beautiful to look at, and a fun way to spend any spare time you might have while remembering the joy of being able to fire up a game and just play without the need for any 600-page guide from Prima, Mars Miner has bombed its way onto my laptop, permanently.

GreenChess
Writer: Michael Jones
Simple, elegant, and a great way to help you learn, adapt, and eventually grow in your understanding and skill-levels, Green-D Software's (appropriately titled) GreenChess is a game that I would have killed for when I was but a fledgling member of my high school's chess club.
Allowing players to adjust the appearance of the board and game as well as the skill-level of the artificial intelligence that acts as your opponent, allowing you to save and look through logs of any games you might play, and the ability to save in mid-game and finish at a later time, GreenChess should do well with people who might otherwise like to take up the game of chess, but hesitates because they don’t think it is something they could easily learn. It’s certainly got me thinking about dusting off a few brain cells.
Rhombis
Writer: Michael Jones
Irbis games’ Rhombis takes the standard puzzle game and flips it on its side - literally. Filled with beautiful graphics and over 80 levels of game play, Rhombis plays like a beautiful homage to Tetris. Like all the best tributes, though, it takes a moment to remind you of something, and then it spreads its wings and takes flight.
