Wodan - The Trial    
Welcome to the world of Wodan. Here, all land is made up of colorful hexagons aimlessly floating on an endless sea. This land is inhabited by goofy looking men. As if it wasn't obvious, these men have one thing on their mind: domination.
Wodan - The Trial is a turnbased strategy game with an innovative set of rules. Once you start a game, a small world of hexagons will be randomly generated based on the guidelines you set beforehand. Each hexagon is evenly devided up between the players, and ownership is identified through each player's color. Players take turns recruiting soldiers, possibly combining soldiers, conquering enemy hexagons or soldiers, or the intense thrill of cutting down pesky trees. To add depth to the combat, soldiers can be combined to create more powerful variations. Soldiers of higher levels are used to kill lower level ones, while opposing soldiers of equal level can't move in to adjacent squares nor attack each other (until you get level four soldiers; this results in both men dying). You can also construct towers. These function as immobile level two soldiers that don't require the normal upkeep all soldiers use. When one player takes over every hexagon on the board, they win.
The graphics are simple but don't look bad at all. I like the graphics of the tiny men as they stand around, waving their arms without a care in the world.
There is no music in Wodan, and very few sounds. There are little beeps and boops when you conquer land and a silly, undescribable sound when you destroy soldiers or villages.
Up to eight human or computer opponents can be playing at the same time. Even more, you can play with other people on the same computer, across a network, or even through E-mail if for some reason you so desire.
Despite the unappealing graphics and near lack of sound, the game is a blast to play. Wodan should offer a lot of replay value, even if you just play with computers. The computer opponents can put up a good fight, but it's encouraged that you find some other folks to play with. To top it off, Wodan is a very accessible, easy to learn game with a small 741 KB filesize. After reading this, there is no reason you shouldn't be playing Wodan - The Trials afterward.

rRootage
rRootage was created by the makers of Noiz2sa, which fellow reviewer Da_Goat called a ,"breath of fresh air in the world of Japanese shooters"
because of its abstract like graphics. rRootage does live up to my expectations, it is just as refreshing as Noiz2sa.
The game takes shootem'up to a whole new level with its innovative 4 modes of play, they are: Normal mode, PSY mode, IKA mode and GW mode. I will not go into detail with the modes as explaining this will take quite a long time, but i would like to make a point that this game is really fun because of these modes. The thing that is lacking are real powerups. This is very similar to Warning Forever which I reviewed earlier. In fact, both games play very similar as you only face one enemy at a time and the enemy will re-spawn with improved features.
The graphics are good. The unique emerald-like design of the ships are the first of its kind i've seen. The world is set in a 'cyber-computerish' world just like Warning Forever.
The music is excellent and fits the 'cyber-computerish' world very well. The sound effects are standard stuff.
Summing up, rRootage is an excellent shootem'up. It has incredibly fast gameplay and excellent graphics with music that actually fits the theme.

xSynergy Gate
When I first saw Xsynergy Gate on the internet.
I immediately shunned this off as one of those typical
japanese space shooters game with just some eye candy
but no real gameplay innovations to speak of. And ho
was I wrong. This game is revolutionary in almost
every aspect.
First of, gameplay is quite different from usual. The
game plays from a slightly tilted down view (However
it is still vertical technically). There are the usual
specials, but these specials are quite cool to use in
my opinion. The one that really caught my eye was the
energy rope, which you will have to "grab" your enemy
with, then detonate it. Very cool!
The enemy's are quite typical in my opinion and have
that usual pattern. However their attack patterns are
quite unique, like the ship which sends waves of
energy blasts in a ripple fashion, which is quite fun
to avoid.
Graphics are impressive. Ranging from detailed
spaceships to ultra-neat explosion effects. However
the backgrounds are quite repetitive and dull
during the first part of the game. Not to worry though
as things get better with time. There is also a FPS
display at the top right hand corner. Which is a nice
feature.
The sound sector isn't a high point but gets the job
done.
The program though being a japanese game is quite
straight foward to begin with, not really alot of
options to meddle with except for resolution. And
those who don't like the ZXC control style will be
glad to know that the keys are configurable.
Summing up, Xsynergy Gate is a solid shooter game with
high production values and good innovative features.
Well worth downloading if you are
a shooter fan.
Note: not every screen resolution will work with your
computer. Keep trying till you find one which is
suitable.

.shot ( Dotshot )
.shot, or 'Dotshot' is a throwback to the good old days of handheld gaming when graphics were composed of black and white bricks, assembled to the form of space ships, race cars, pong paddles, or whatever else suited the game's content. Yup, .shot is probably one of the most ancient looking games ye'll find around these parts outside of the ASCII graphics of Nethack and Rogue; which means that the gameplay'd have to be purty durn god in order for it to attain it's 8/10 score and Editor's Choice award. And it is. What .shot lacks in graphics is made up for with sheer originality. Yes, it's a shooter, and yes, it's an aesthetically outdated shooter at that, but what this means is that the designers wasted less time on graphics, and instead spent their time well on the gameplay, which is almost flawless. The difficulty is perfect, the collisions are perfect, the sound is fownky -and maybe even a bit strange, when you hear such fownkiness coming from such an 'ugly' game, and levels are as kick-tushie as I've ever seen in a shooter; they're originally designed, with obstacles that you must maneuver around and some of the best enemy patterns in any shooter out thar to date. Don't be put off by the retro look of the game, if you like shooters at all, .shot deserves a download.
To download the Mac version of .shot, go to the author's homepage, accesible by clicking the game's title in the heading of the review; click on the 'Products' link on the sidebar; click on '.shot' from the list of games; and then just click the link that says 'Mac Version' or sumptin'. There, it's downloadin'.
No, I don't think you're all stupid (not -all- of you, at least)but the web site is in Japanese, and thus the step-by-step to the download link.
