I play-tested a ton of games over the year. These are five that held my attention better than all the others.
1. Wik & The Fable of Souls
This is one of the most unique arcade adventure games I've played in ages. It's not too often the hero saves the day by using his tongue. As a top 10 finalist for the 2005 IFG competition, it gets my vote for number one from games featured here.
2. Mah Jong Quest
As I've mentioned previously, Mah Jong is one of my favorite solitaire games. The unique twist added by Mah Jong Quest updates the tile matching classic nicely.
3. Magic Vines
Several games released over the last year piggybacked on the color matching concept. Magic Vines gets my vote as the most creative implementation.
4. Space Taxi
An update of classic concept with roots dating back to Commodore, Space Taxi is a challenging arcade adventure behind the wheel of futuristic public transportation.
5. Ricochet Lost Worlds
Block breaking games started the arcade revolution ages ago and remain one of the best ways to waste 15 minutes of company time. Ricochet Lost Worlds updates the classic concept with stunning graphics and mesmerizing music.
