Quality in Simplicity
This is yet one of the best word games since Text Twist. The game is based on a famous word game called Word Factory here in the Philippines and of course from the original Boggle game in western countries. This PC game version is broader in scope; it has lots of features to enjoy.
Making it interesting are the fascinating game add-ons like medals, status points, and the variety of three gameplay modes which includes the Match Mode that allows you to battle against different players from around the globe (you need an internet connection to make this possible, of course).
If you don't have an internet connection, you can play with the Challenge the Computer mode. You can also adjust the level of difficulty of the CPU for your interest.
Though simple as it really is, Boggle brings into the game more exciting twists and higher comprehensibility. You can calculate your progress with your status, battle against multi-level players, and earn rewards for accomplishments, e.g., finding a seven-letter word, gaining 200 points, earning 25 points in a single battle, etc.
The graphics are well-defined. It gives a relaxing environment of a distinct word game. Music is as well commendable. It gives you a relaxing aura as you play.
The exceptional element I find great about this word game is its gameshow-inspired talking host which gives you a feel of a real-time battle.
Boggle is a game I recommend for those of you who love word games specially those who enjoyed playing the tray-game of Boggle or Word Factory. It is simple but demonstrates QUALITY and EXCELLENCE with its comprehensibility and special features. |

"Elements" is a compound of uniqueness, greatness, and excitement
Dash games, find-the-hidden themed games, and match three games - if you're fed up with all those three, enjoy an exciting new twist in casual gaming here in this uniquely creative game called "Elements".
The concept of the game begins with the four elements of the universe (as taught by the Greek philosopher Empedocles): the fire, the earth, the water, and the air. With this concept, one progresses through the game in pursuit to discover the fifth mystery element and all the other undiscovered elements of nature which you will use to formulate the Elixir of Life, a hypothetical substance that is believed to turn one's mortality into immortality.
The game may appear hard to understand during the first levels of the game, but as you go through it, you will eventually discover its primary goal: to combine all similar [small] elements in the board into one big element.
The game may seem easy during the first rounds, but as you go further, you'll be going through hell. There is a clever mixture of logic, find-and-seek skills, and numerical analysis as well. In this game, there is no such thing as "game over", instead there are things like delays, time-consuming parts, deluging rounds, wrong moves, and many other factors that will test your logic skills and even patience. Also, a board in some levels may surprise you with countless tiles [which you all have to combine] and may make you feel bored or exhausted.
The graphics are outstanding. The backgrounds are captivating, like those in 3d screensavers. The elements are finely detailed. The music and the sound effects are bewitching. These factors just add to the fun and excitement.
If you're looking for fast-paced gaming experience combined with uniqueness, greatness, and excitement in one package, this addictive game is just for you. |
