[Escape From Work!!]

Easy... but fun.

Quite a fun game, with good interactivity. Easy to beat on the first go by picking the most sensible options, but still worth playing a couple of times to check out the other possibilities. (For some reason I expected the guy to get butt-fucked if he chose the 'go to the mountains' option, but instead he died, so that was a nice surprise!) Music gets annoying after a while, and angular graphics make all the characters look severely retarded. But defects aside, this game's certainly worth a look-in.

[Destroy the School (Demo)]

Definite Potential.

A rather engaging game, which definitely has potential, but needs more development. Good sound and graphics, great theme! Could really do with a few more rooms and a proper ending. This started off looking extremely promising, but as it got to the locker scene it began to appear rather more rushed. Still, I'd jump at the chance to destroy my old school any day, so it certainly echoed the right sentiments there!

[The Crazy Al Gore Game]

Am I Missing Something?

This "game" has got to be made by a Republican, right? Why? Because it uses a poorly designed and executed computer simulation to draw attention to the fundamental flaws of the Democratic Presidential campaign. Either that or this dire piece of animation was a serious attempt at making an interactive game. I sincerely hope it was not the latter, since my idea of "interactivity" encompasses more than being able to move a sole graphic in a singular direction. If the creator of this piece is a Democrat, then I can only suggest he resign at once before he brings his party into disrepute...

[The Suspicious Cop]

The best possible fun without a gun!

This is a very neat little simulation. The graphics are far better than those used in Gibson's "Customer Service" entry, and the sound is extremely effective and atmospheric. The game is supposed to teach you about "real life negotiation skills" and this is the only aspect I would query. People are not as predictable as computer simulations, and the number of choices available to the user is rather too limited to reflect this diversity. But don't take it too seriously and it's a great fun game which you'll probably find strangely addictive. And I'm sure your fingers would welcome a break from those 5000-clicks-per-second shoot 'em ups!
