Quest For Booty is a mini-adventure, a $15 game not available through stores but only as a download through the PlayStation 3’s online service. As short as it may be, it will only take a night or two to complete, the game offers the same robust experience in terms of its gameplay and cut-scenes as the full length Ratchet & Clank titles. There’s platforms to jump, enemies to battle, traps to avoid, puzzles to solve, and full-scale battles to survive, all while off-beat characters deliver silly jokes and moments of dry wit. It’s more of what fans of the series enjoy and all there will be to tie them over until the next full-length adventure arrives in late 2009. [More]

With most of the puzzle rooms I showcase each Friday, the task is to simply find the hidden items and use them in the right order, but in Casual Gameplay Escape you will be confronted with a serious set of puzzles, each designed to be their own casual game. There are no items to find, no coloured tiles to collect, and no secret spots to click on, to escape you'll need to solve the puzzles themselves. Good luck. [More]

You are a Wolpertinger and your best friend Kaes, a kind of meatloaf, has been kidnapped by the meat-mafia in order to discover his recipe, so you must set out across fantastic lands to save him. The Adventures of Tinger is a robust platform game where you must use your arrow keys and spacebar to run and jump over billy goats and up into trees to collect coins and other items. With a sausage-gun you can also shoot enemies instead of jumping on their heads. You can load the susage gun with a variety of ammunition and pick up special hot sauces for new skills. It's a fun game with a great sense of humour and well-drawn cast of characters. [More]
