Featured Games of the Week
Today’s games can be found at the Featured Games section in the main page of BGames, which means that they are pretty much unrelated among themselves. ATV Offroad Thunder is a racing game, obviously, in which you control an ATV. The good news is that unlike other similar games, in this case not only can [...]
Board Games Revealed
One thing that can be said about Board Games, is that almost anything can fall in that category, if given the right characteristic. The following are an example of it. React is a game that, like many others, may remind you of renowned classic Tetris. However, this one comes with a twist: the challenge has [...]
Oldies Fun
What’s in a word? What do we mean when we talk about something that is ‘classic’? When I first found the category at BGames, I immediately thought it would be full of flash versions of the first developed video games. However, the dictionary definition of the word tell us that classic is something “of the [...]
Original Misc Games
Reviewed games are usually varied because that is sort of the purpose of the blog, but when it comes to miscellaneous games, that is simply a defining characteristic. These four games are varied in nature and in kind, thus offering a different challenge in each case. Behind Golden Bars is a simple game that gets [...]
SpongeBob who?
The thing about entertainment is that when somebody finds an idea that works, the rest of the industry teams up to systematically extract everything they can from it. That is how one ends up playing a whole morning worth of SpongeBob SquarePants flash games. Truth be told, I know very little about this cartoon. I [...]
Top Rated Action Games
Today’s Action games have a little bit of everything, which guarantee something for everyone. Agh Zombies is a mix of 2012, 28 Days Later and Shaun of the Dead (but without the Mayan calendar, the virus, and the romantic comedy bits, respectively). This platform game is set in London, 2012, and civilization as we know [...]
Skateboarding Games
The Sports Games section is a comprehensive place, in which you can find something on almost any sport in the whole world. Skateboarding is usually a fan favorite, mostly because the sport itself requires such a skill than most of us will never manage to get a trick right even after practicing it every day [...]
Special Review: Mahjong
Mahjong-based solitaires are one of the main reasons why I am grateful for having a computer; otherwise, I never would have come into contact with the game, much less played it. For those who are not familiar with it, let me cover the basics: unlike other solitaires, which require at least a deck of cards, [...]
Unconventional Racing Games
The one thing that has been a constant while reviewing games is the fact that categories never are what they seem. That is precisely what happens with the Racing Games category: you have mostly what can be considered as stereotyped games, but you also have other games. Some of them barely meet the pre-established criteria, [...]
Top Rated Shooting Games
The selection of today’s games has to do, as the title of this entry indicates, with their rating. These are the four top rated shooting games featured at BGames, and you will find pretty soon why. Crush The Castle PP is an upgraded version of an old game, that is likely to remind you of [...]
