 United States of Pool (new) – Cue up and travel across America accumulating postcards in different cities playing United States of Pool, a realistic computer simulation for Mac of the popular 9-Ball Pool game. USOP features 1 & 2 Person Arcade Mode, which only loosely adheres to the rules of 9-Ball. In 1 Person Arcade Mode, players will be required to earn a specific number of points before being able to travel to the next U.S. city. Arcade Mode also features bonuses: a superball, which is a “crazy” ball that changes the physics of it making it bounce more and is much faster than usual. Star bonuses earn you more shots and points. 2 Person Mode is the straight up game of 9-Ball. Download it now and run the table. Note: The Esc key will take you back to the main menu. Download it

 Mythic Marbles – Before people played games on their computers and game consoles, actual physical games existed. Really! Marbles was one of them but since we’re indoor computer gamers, the next best thing to do is to play it on our Macs. In Mythic Marbles play with all your marbles and use (don’t lose!) your marbles located at the bottom of the board to knock the rest of the marbles away. Don’t run out of marbles before you hit all the others off the board. By the way, watch out for the black holes and walls. 100 games. Download it

 The Three Musketeers – Following a faithful adaptation of the original novel by Alexandre Dumas with the same name, The Three Musketeers, an excellent RPG adventure and action game, will place you during a time in old France when chivalry was king, and jabbing someone through the heart with your sword was all too commonplace. Take on the role of d’Artagnan, on his way to Paris to fulfill his dream of becoming a Musketeer of the Guard. Along the journey team up with Athos, Porthos and Aramis. From there, the plot begins to thicken and you and your new swashbuckling Musketeer friends must manage to somehow thwart the evil Cardinal Richelieu as he sets out to dishonor the Queen. Duel enemies, fire muskets, gather goods and money, and take on the numerous side quests. Download it

 The Clockwork Man – Steampunk comes to you in the form of a hidden objects game for Mac, which is a refreshing example of setting itself apart from and above the rest of the games of this category. In The Clockwork Man, Miranda Calomy, an aspiring engineering student in 19th century London, receives a letter from her grandfather Cornelius, who is a famous scientist living and working in South America. Her grandfather is in need of some items for a project he’s working on. Although he’s ordered them, they’ve mysteriously disappeared and Miranda is to gather another set of these parts and bring them over to South America herself, accompanied by her trusty little steampunk sidekick, Sprockets. The game features unique zoom-in and scroll across game play along with strange science experiments, flying airships, steam-powered machinery and engaging puzzles. Download it

 County Fair – County Fair is a tycoon game/carnival simulation, which is one of the best made games of its kind. Being the sole surviving relative of a sickly businessman, you’ve been called upon to manage an empire of county fairs. Take control of creating the coolest amusement parks you can while keeping an eye on the bottom line. You will only be limited by your imagination and organization skills, if they’re not up to snuff. Once you get a hang of all the mechanics (the tutorial is indispensable), you will have a blast setting up the teacups, ferris wheels, shooting gallery, and much more – and providing the necessary good eats carnivals have to offer: deep fried candy bars, funnel cakes, pizza, cotton candy and anything else fit for the mandatory carnival tummy ache.

 Escape the Museum – Museum-phobic players of hidden object diversions can breathe a sigh of relief because the object of this game is to get out of the museum, fast! While Susan Anderson and her daughter, Caitlin were meandering around the museum, a 7.6 magnitude earthquake shook, rattled and rolled the city. They somehow get separated and it’s pure chaos in the shattered museum. Your mission in Escape the Museum is to not only help Susan to reunite with Caitlin but also to navigate the crumbled building locating a collection of artifacts scattered over 60 levels. Escape the museum offers a very long game play and features adventure and puzzle elements, which add considerable variety in the game play. Download it

 World of Goo – My mom pronounces the word, “good” as “goo” because of her thick accent. So, when I hear “World of Goo,” a puzzle-y construction game, “good” does comes to mind but here it’s an understatement. World of Goo is rather a world of greatness. Getting your hands on black (or green), sticky blobs of jiggly goo has never been more entertaining. Using realistic game physics, build structures so that a required number of goo balls can get sucked up into an escape pipe. In a style that reminds me of Cartoon Network colliding with Edward Gorey, World of Goo offers clever writing, whimsical graphics, music and effects, and thoughtfully designed, complex levels.

 Jets N Guns Gold – Guess what this game involves? Right. Jets and guns! As an award-winning action side-scrolling shooter, reminiscent of arcade games, Jets n Guns Gold embraces a few simple concepts: kill, destroy and explode. You play as a fighter pilot in space who has to take down an entire army of enemies by yourself. You probably don’t need to be warned that there will be blood and gore and as soon as you begin you will love every minute of it all. Make sure to take advantage of customizing your ship, arsenal and their capabilities. Massive destruction is alarmingly addictive. Download it

 Kickin’ Soccer – There aren’t many casual sports games for Mac but I don’t think it’s because of a lack of interest. There’re just hard to find! Luckily for gamers in search of something retro, sporty and fun, there’s Kickin’ Soccer. For the true footie fan, Kickin’ Soccer takes you back to the top down perspective arcade games that were so popular in the 80s. Yup, this is when games involved more key controls and coordination! Slide, pass, dribble and shoot using simple combinations (arrow keys, z and x). The game features one and two-player modes, including an “arcade” mode where players compete one match at a time, and a “cup” mode that lets you play one country’s team (from a roster of 16), each with specific skills, trying to win the World Cup. The two-player mode lets you battle it out with another opponent on the same keyboard. Download it

 Emerald City Confidential – In this city of Oz, you won’t find the lollipop kids or singing, dancing munchkins. Oh my. And you won’t need to follow the yellow brick road but you will run into the Scarecrow, Lion and Toto. That being said, they’re not exactly how you remembered them during your childhood watching the story of a Kansas girl realizing there’s no place like home. Here in this Emerald City, you play Petra, a detective on a job to solve a mystery and unravel a conspiracy. Follow a case through five chapters full of puzzles, witnesses, suspects, and allies in this twist on a timeless classic. Download it |
