[Crush The Castle 2]

Fabulous, but not as fantabulous as the original.

I completely agree with ChemicalReaper, but the reason I'm giving a slightly higher score is a compensation for huge the effort. I had the same problems, but I think the reason the people in this sequel have been made harder to kill is because there were many circumstances in which the people in the first game were a little TOO easy to kill, but they went a bit overboard when I had the little issue of huge chunks of metallic beams crushing a dainty princess but for some reason she still stays all neat and pretty. It looks great, and from a mechanical standpoint, it's a fantastic game, but really doesn't pay much respect to the original, which is quite a sad circumstance. I'm glad that the castle pieces can actually be destroyed now, and the huge number of castle-building possibilities is quite cheerfully large, with the new features letting the castle-building players have a lot more room for creativity. But this is still drowned out by the overdone gameplay, overly beautified scenery, and way too much stuff. Props though, because despite its issues, I do see this as an awesome game, and I also enjoyed browsing through the player-made castles.

One last thing: while reading through ChemicalReaper's review, I was sort of reminded of how Ben Croshaw reviews games on ZP... Lol

[Living room escape]

Entertaining

The cool thing about this game is that you're not supposed to just look for logical connections between items and puzzles, but you have to be creative while you think too. This was a helluva fun and funny game. Great job. :)

[The Fog Fall 3]

Brilliant! I can't wait for Fog Fall 4!

As always, consistent with the theme, the look, the atmosphere, and the elaborate challenges. I love the Fog Fall series now more than ever, and this third installment an absolute WIN! Cheers, thanks for posting this, and good luck with the fourth installment!

[Thing-Thing Arena 2]

This game...

I love this game. I've been revisiting this for years. lol
Highest score I got in Super Survival is 7711 kills. Top 1 back in Oct. 29, 2009.
I miss that record. :D

I guess the only negative part in this game is... well... I can't think of anything, honestly. :D

[1066]

Outstanding!

Calabria001 has a lot of good suggestions, but I like the fact that each faction has their own weaknesses to exploit and the strengths to make up for them. Although, these weaknesses do seem a little bit to easily. And about the Archers, well, they don't exactly do as much damage as they should have. A barrage of several hundreds of arrows ought to have been able to kill more than a 120+ in a group. But despite these little ignorable bits, the game is a shining example of what a strategy game should be

I love this game, and if only there could be a way to make this an actual board game I think it'd start challenging the very core of chess. Excellent work, and I'm glad to say I will be revisiting this game for many times to come.

Oh, and Ian Holm for the narrator? AWESOME.
