Darkwind Media released the beta demo of a downloadable physics platform game called Blocks. The game player has to deliver blocks on a delivery platform using left and right thrusters. However the game player can’t use the thrusters at the same time so success comes from balancing the force of the thrusters in the direction of the target without toppling the block in the wrong direction. Its an interesting downloadable game offered only as a demo now for both the PC and the MAC.
In recent times, the Internet has become awash with puzzle games designed to captivate their audience for short periods of intoxicating fun. Mole Control, designed by Remode Studios, is a perfect example of a generic, yet very fun, addition to the PC puzzle game family.
Remode and Blitz 1UP released Mole Control, a logic based Minesweeper like puzzle game. You are the driver of a buggy tasked to find and dig up moles in the lawns of a town called Molar Creek. So far Mole Control looks interesting enough but we will post a full review in a week or so.

The Magic Toy Chest, by Graduate Games, is an extremely innovative game which uses physics to literally “get the ball rolling.” With this game, players can use tutorials, play and even create their own levels, play them, and submit them to the company through email.

Springworld Challenge Game Review by Matt Bird
Game Rating = 3/5 Balls
SpringWorld Challenge isn’t what I’d call this game. I think I’d rename it to something along the lines of ‘A Cautionary Tale for Drivers.’ Doesn’t click? Oh well.
