Joost van Dongen will release Proun aptly described as a downloadable tube racing game later this spring for the PC. You are racing against time on the outside of a tube while avoiding modern art like obstacles by rotating your position using the control buttons or arrows. Proun looks very interesting, unique, addicting and fun. Proun belongs in any city’s museum of modern art. Dongen, Proun’s game developer combines beautiful art with challenging eye hand coordination with speed. You can still download Proun’s beta here.
Proun’s price is to be determined.
Frogames, an indie game developer, have joined the pay what you want business model faction for their downloadable racing game called MiniOne Racing. MiniOne Racing offers players a 3D racing and we would say balancing game. The game player doesn’t simply race around a track which you will discover on the first level. MiniOne Racing’s opening level requires the game player to race and balance along a narrow wooden dock above water. We fell off 6 times in the first 2 minutes of track. Consumers can download Minione Racing for their PC or Mac and they get to pay what they want.
Here’s the game trailer:

Game Review by Shane Mooney
Game Rating = 3/5
Smart, simple and surprisingly easy, ‘GabCab’ shows promise as a highly addicting downloadable game reminiscent of classic arcade games such as ‘Frogger” in it’s ease of play. The game revolves around a taxi cab (you) which picks up customers and delivers them to their various destinations by means of mouse clicks. This starts off as an easy task, but as the gas runs out and customers expect better standards in higher levels, ‘GabCab’ becomes more of a challenge.
Three Reasons to buy ‘GabCab’:
#1 – It’s easy to play. Simple controls and easy to grasp objectives, this downloadable game is perfect for players of any age and skill level.
# 2 – Cheap price. At $6.99 this game won’t leave a hole in your wallet. The website also offers a free hour trial version. This gives you the option of trying out the game before splashing out the cash.
# 3 – It’s addictive. After paying your money you want to have a game that doesn’t become boring after two or three levels. This game provides an easy game play that will keep you playing over and over again.
Three Reasons to avoid buying ‘GabCab’:
# 1 – It’s repetitive. Each level is pretty much the same thing over and over, only becoming harder by customers expecting better standards and gas running out more quickly.
#2 – Annoying soundtrack. The soundtrack is not the easiest to listen to in the word, and the sound is better kept on as it makes it easier to identify when a new customer is looking for a cab.
# 3 – Too easy. While it’s ease of play might be a good reason for lesser skilled gamers to buy this game, veterans will find it a walk in the park which poses little challenge.
Overall, ‘GabCab’ is definitely worth a look. It’s creativity makes it different, which is rare in toady’s gaming world. The graphics are what you expect from a DivX 8 game – not great but highly tolerable. The soundtrack can get extremely annoying at times, but is better left turned up to hear when somebody is looking for a pick up. It’s definitely playable, and does get you hooked (something you’d expect after paying $6.99).
‘GabCab’ gets a score of 3/5. It loses marks for it’s soundtrack and repetitiveness, but is definitely not a bad game. It’s a game which is probably best suited for young children.

“Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” was one of the seminal games of the early PC game craze. It was one of those games that every kid had to have and it practically started the “learning games” genre. Blendo’s new downloadable game “Air Forte” fits right into that inestimable game genre.

There is Dr. Hugo’s Factory for making cute little mechanical companions of all sorts. Plus it is packed with plenty of humor. You will get to control five robots as they search the factory for clues as to how to open a mysterious metal box found. There are flamethrowers with deviously clever puzzles.Creativity with innovation exudes from this game. The sounds are so pleasing to your ears and nothing about them is annoying. Once or twice while I was playing the sound skipped. It is not very obvious and can be dismissed. (more…)

Alice’s Tea Cup Madness Game Review by Danny Kalis
Game Rating = 4/5
Alice’s Tea Cup Madness is a game much like the popular “Diner Dash” series. In this game, players are Alice (from Wonderland), running a Tea shop, and attempting to serve all your customers in a timely and efficient manner. Customers are all characters from the Lewis Carroll classic including the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, and the Cheshire Cat. If Alice’s customers are not served in the correct manner they will leave or attempt to steal from her. Success, in the game, is based upon goals for each day at Alice’s tea shop, which are attained by properly serving a majority of customers in a given time. Goals increase in difficulty as the game progresses throughout over 60 challenging levels. (more…)
