Grow Nano v0…

vol2…

vol3…

The bears are back! Bringing War to enemies of peace!!! Guide our four furry heroes to success against vile “animal creatures that can talk”.

If you like this crap, you’ll probably be lukewarm at best about:

Warbears, and…

Warbears II.

A dark riff on the classic Grow games, complete with puddles of goo and industrial-type buildings. Note: May contain zombies!

“It is uncommon to fire all six shots of a revolver with great suddenness when one would probably be sufficient…”

A Halloween tradition: Deanimator… Good, clean, ultimately futile, Lovecraftian fun.

Hit shift to switch weapons after you find the shotgun. Reloading takes time (especially with shotgun) so time your reloads carefully. Empty the whole barrel whenever you get the chance.

New TG Motocross game from the guys at Teagames. Love it.

If, like me, you believe time-wasting activities should be largely pointless, you’ll probably like Feed The Head. Makes the hugely pointless Grow games series look like Halo 3!

It’s from VECTORPARK (yeah!), the good folk who brought us Levers and Park. Classics of the whatthehellamImeanttobedoing milieu.

Oh heck, while we’re on the subject, if there’s anyone out there who hasn’t been exposed to the Hapland virus here you go…

Number 1:

…number 2:

…and number 3:

Just being thorough. Have fun. Sorry.

BTW, Rob Allen, the creator of the Hapland Games, has also created a ‘banner’ game currently gracing the header of jayisgames. Just click away.

Ee-by-gum they’ve gone and done it again. The chaps at Stick Sports immediately jump to the front of the pack with their own baseball offering. The game play isn’t quite as sophisticated as this but it’s a much more complete game. Sign up for a (free) account and you can even create your own team with all your lil’ friends. Fab.

Still untouchable. The original, the best, Stick Cricket is a way of life!

A close second. Flash cricket.

A distant third. Pretty crap.

…and the less said about Ashes Bash the better.

This one is pretty much the best I’ve come across as far as game play and graphics go. The hitting is pretty good but the base running and opponent’s fielding is annoyingly unrealistic. And your little base running guys are morons. Also, there’s no pitching. Wish they’d make a full game of it.

This one is only full game, arcade style baseball game I’ve found with both batting and pitching. On the downside it’s very hard to score runs and very easy to stop your opponent scoring. The only score when I played came from weird little bonus games in between innings. The Japanese adverts are fun though.

Pinch Hitter 2. Fun. Hitting only, cartoon style graphics. Still, pretty addictive. Can’t finish it. Tricky.

Bullpen Blast. Great pitching action. Normally I don’t like games where you control the action with mouse movement but this one is pretty good. Again, I wish they’d make a full game of it.

Strategy only. Fun for a while but gets boring and tends to freeze up.

The latest in the weirdly addictive Grow game series…
