Wire Robo
Wire Robo (henceforth known as WR) is one of, if not -the-, most innovative space shooters I've ever seen.
Sound: The music in WR is nothing original. Just the same techno beat (ok, so it's slightly different), you hear in most Japanese sh'mups. Sound effects in WR are neat, but not incredible. The explosions sound enough like explosions to make you think "that's nice", but not enough to think "wow". Thankfully, though, WR's sound is by far the worst part.
Graphics: The visuals in WR were superb, if a little pixilated. Background scenery in this game looks like what it should look like: space. Heck, the explosions are a good enough reason to download this game, even if it didn't come with game play! Of course, it does come with game play. And, while the graphics are quite a bit of eye candy, they don't stand up to Techno Sylph's beauty.
Game play: When's the last time you've used a grapple in a freeware game, let alone a space shooter? Well that�s exactly what the basis of this game is: using a grapple. Here's how it goes: You take on the role of a robot in space, with enemies and meteors spread all around. Your job is to (with the help of radar) "swing" over to your enemies, and attach on to them. Then, while attached, swing left and right a lot (this will make you shoot with each turn of direction) until you have vanquished all of your enemies in that stage. Your health indicator is a sleeping little girl in your upper-right hand corner. I found Wire Robo to be quite difficult. There's many an asteroid and villain that needs destroying. Sometimes, the large enemies shoot heat-seeking missiles, and the missiles will even shoot normal bullets! It's crazy! The control scheme is essentially simple ('z' to use your grapple, 'left' and 'right' to turn.), but still takes a while to master.
Bottom Line: Wire Robo is one of the best space shooters I have ever played. It has great, but pixilated, graphics, average sound, and ingenious game play. Download it if you are a fan of space shooters, or want to play something that takes a step from the norm.
Note(s): Download is at the bottom of the page linked to in the download section.

Worm Wars 2
Worm Wars 2 is a massive improvement over its prequel. Packed with more enemies, more weapons and more features, Worm Wars 2 is a totally different game. Even with more action on the screen, all the speed problems that lagged its predecessor are gone. Following up on Worm Wars 1, the game revolves around the war between the worms and ants. You again play as the commander of the worm army.
The graphics are better than before. The levels are more detailed, and the same cartoon look is still there. There are even well-drawn cut-scenes explaining the story before each level. Sound is much better, and there are more background music themes. The only problem with the music is the temporary lag is creates when it repeats, though you shouldn�t notice this often.
Controls in the game have gone through a massive improvement since Worm Wars 1. Now your commander worm moves and fires by pointing and clicking with your mouse, which really simplifies things. You can no longer control your units, but the units are intelligent enough on their own. There has been a massive speed improvement � commands are issued instantly, and there�s no longer a lag.
The interface has also been completely re-done. The opening screen adds a �cool� dimension to the game, and loads much quicker. Everything looks nicer, and buttons are placed a little more conveniently and in a way that will please the eye.
One of the major differences between Worm Wars 1 and Worm Wars 2 is how you get additional units for your army. There is now a money system, in which you pick up money in order to buy units. Instead of buttons to control units and picking new ones off the ground, you now pick up money and use those buttons to buy them. There are many new units you can use, such as helicopters and mine layers. Another addition to Worm Wars 2 is the ability to control turrets. Your commander worm can take control of stationary turrets to deal enormous damage to the enemy ant ranks.
Bottom Line: Worm Wars 2 is a much better and improved game than Worm Wars 1. A must get for action/RTS fans.
Presentation: 9/10 � The interface is creative and is pleasing to the eye. There is no included documentation, but this is partly made up for with the training mode.
Graphics: 10/10 � The graphics have gone through a major haul-over and look gorgeous.
Sounds: 8/10 � The background music is great, but the normal sounds can start to feel monotonous.
Game-play: 9/10 � Worm Wars 2 is a fun game, but does lack the ability to control your troops � something I would like to see in a game like this.
Lasting Appeal: 8/10 � There is now a customizable skirmish mode, but there is only one map that can be played on. Worm Wars 2 is a hard game to beat, and will deter some people.
The Rating: 8/10 �A good mix of action and strategy, and the cut-scenes make the story enjoyable. Still, the game is too hard to beat � I couldn�t even get past the first level.

Wormlings
Wormlings was created by Daniel Schlyder for an Allegro Size Hack
Competition in which the games author must make the best game possible and yet keep it under 10KB. Well, maybe all games should have this restriction (j/k, of course) because
Wormlings is one of the best multi-player games around. That's an
especially good thing, since there is no AI at all, as that would have caused the game to go over the 10KB mark.
The gameplay in Wormlings consists of you and up to 3 friends (total of 4 players) to take the role of worm-like lines of different colors. There are balls bouncing around the screen with you as well. The idea of the game is to stay alive as long as possible by not bumping head-on into any of your opponents or any of the balls. Your worm is consistently growing with each
second, so it gets pretty hard after a while, since the screen will be almost full at times. This leads to very simple, yet strategic game play, as it is alot of fun to trap your opponents with your own worm's body, forcing them to crash. Of course, you also must avoid getting trapped yourself. The game is very customizable so you can adjust EVERYTHING in the game to
suit your taste or crank up or down the difficulty.
The graphics are surprisingly good for a game this small. While nothing will make you say "Wow!", this games is by no means ugly. Animation is also very fluid, but occasionaly it got jerky. Could just be my PC, though. There is no sound, one of the few prices that must be paid for having such a small game with this much overall quality. Still, it hardly detracts
from the game at all.
Bottom Line: Excellent. Despite having had to spare a couple of things (AI and sound), which would have possibly gotten this game a 9, it is still an extremely fun game to play with your friends. Each player only takes up two buttons, so four can squish around one keyboard and not be TOO uncomfortable. Two thumbs in the air, pointing towards the heavens.
Note: The file that I am giving you for download is not the 7KB version, which is the original one made for the competition. If you want that one, you can get it at the author's homepage.

Yokoy DM
In Yokoy DM (Ye old knights of Yore - Death Match), your objective is to kill all your opponents (other human players), with weapons that you buy along the way, or if you prefer the weapons you start out with. You may also buy armour, to get up experience points. You can play up to 4 players, on 5 different maps. The game also has a lot of options, ranging from how much experience you start out with, to much money you get in the money bags. What I like best about Yokoy DM, is that the author has managed to make a nice RPG, and then add a great real-time action feel. Yokoy features 5 different game modes, good 2-D graphics, nice sound, and great game-play. This update (v1.4) includes features such as AI-controlled enemies in deathmatches.
NOTE: This game isn't very gory, but it does feature quite a bit of blood.
