StormWinds 1.5 - Today's Time Waster

by Romeo Wahed Jan 18th 2008

If you enjoy defense games, you might want to check out StormWinds 1.5. It's the newer version of the original StormWinds, featuring more weapons and a new "campaign" mode.

It's different from other defense games in that instead of building a map full of weapons that automatically fire at enemies, you can only build up to four, of which you can only control one at a time. That means you have to pick carefully and work on your aim (if you've ever played Worms you'll be right at home).

As defense games tend go, the rhythm is predictable. You continue to thwart oncoming enemy waves, which get continually more numerous and stronger. Just remember, if you do spend all day actually beating the entire campaign, pat yourself on the back, pour a drink, get a breather, and get some work done.

This is probably one of the best flash type games I have ever played besides Xeno Tactics.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
