GeForce GTX 295 review - BFG -
Product: | GeForce GTX 295 |
Manufacturer: | BFG |
SKU code: | BFGEGTX2951796 |
Information: | website |
Street price: | 499 USD |
You know, it's built for gamers ...
A couple of weeks ago we had the honor of bringing you guys a review on the GeForce GTX 295. And that article proved one thing, it's going to be welcomed into the high-end arena with open arms. It's impressive, it's fast, and heck it even looks good too.
Today however we are re-writing the preview, and will make a fully fledged review of it. For this full review we'll grab a BFG GeForce GTX 295. Everything we could not talk about will be covered and obviously, some additional benchmarks are now included, making this a new review on the GeForce GTX 295 final product.
It does not end there though because today we'll bring you yet another article, GeForce GTX 295 Quad-SLI, heck we just had to give that a try for the sake of it as well. So we took the fastest Core i7 platform money could buy us, made sure we had a 1200 Watt PSU in there and started testing Quad SLI. But again, that's covered in another article though. This one will be all about one single, yet dual-gpu based, GeForce GTX 295 versus it's competition.
And you know what guys? I'm excited as I love the high-end gear and the gaming that goes along with it. Also for this this review, we have received a new final driver, GeForce Forceware 181.20, and I'm happy to report that in several scenarios... it made the games roughly 10% faster than the preview we have shown you. Now though 10% might not sound like a lot, trust me... in the high-end game... it's pretty frickin significant.
Anyway, enough of the introduction, let's have a technical look at the product, look at power consumption, noise levels, temperatures, photos and obviously the performance it'll poop out on your monitor. And sure, we'll overclock it a little as well... You guys ready?
Have a peek at BFG's offering, and then head on over to the next page please.

I decided to cancel my Dish network service a week ago and Dish sent me "prepaid" boxes(you have to pay $15 return fee per shipping label charged to you Dish account!) and also sent equipment return instructions. They wanted back the receivers, LNBF, remotes, and a switch. What confuses me is on the instructions it says the switch would be on the outside of my house and my system may or may not have included a switch or the switch may differ. The switch in the instructions is a VideoPath Multi-Dish Switch model DP34. I followed all the wires around my house and did not find one like that but I did find these little plugs(they look like cable line splitters). The plugs are called Holland DPD2 and DP Plus Separator. I found two of each and one of DPD2 is on the outside of my house. Are these the switches that they want, if not should I send them back anyway to keep from having to pay equipment costs? Thanks for your help
No those are diplexors and separators. The DP34 is likely near the sat antenna. That is an older switch so if you had a newer D500 or D1000.2 or D1000.4 antenna installed/upgraded, the installer likely took that switch when he/she left after the upgrade as it probably would not be needed. If the LNB is in an inaccessable location to you, you are not expected to risk life and limb to return it either. Just tell them it's where you cannot retrieve it. The DP34 looks like this: Dish Network DishPRO DP34 Switch
Thanks for your quick reply. The picture you had was the same as in the instructions but to be safe I looked all around my house and roof just to be sure. I didn't find anything resembling a switch and my system is pretty new so I probably never had one. I just wanted to be sure because Dish sent me a letter saying they would debit my account BIG time if I didn't return their equipment. Dish probably wouldn't have forced me to go up on the roof and remove their LNBF but I bet they would have dinged my account for it and just didn't want to chance it. One thing why do they care so much about that LNBF? Is it worth a lot of money, can you steal channels with it or something? It seems that if they wanted it back so badly they could have sent a technician to come get it. Dish acts like it's a made of gold covered in diamonds. LOL!
They want back what they can reuse. the lnb's for the plus are the same for all antennas. The switch can still be used. Like when I got the 1000.4 antenna yesterday and the dish replaced, a super dish, is no longer used. The lnb's were removed and kept by dish, and the dish and its hardward ended up in the trash at the curb, and was picked up a few minutes later. Norally pickup is about 7:30am, but it was late because of streets still being closed from a weekend afair near here. My other two dishes and the DP44 were mine and I have them all (to sell on eBay)
Thanks for all your replies and your help. You all have a good night. I have to get some sleep I have to get up extremely early tomorrow.

THEY'VE gussied up the old neighborhood, re-siding houses and putting in new windows and roofs. They've even given it a fancy new name: Black Creek Village. But most people still refer to the working-class neighborhood in Niagara Falls, N.Y., by its old name, Love Canal.
Although federal environmental officials announced last week that the area is clean enough to be removed from the Superfund cleanup list, the memory of deadly chemicals bubbling up through the soil lingers -- except perhaps in the minds of the people who have recently moved into the neighborhood. Would anybody buy a house in Love Canal? ''Oh sure, absolutely,'' said David Stefik, a local estate agent. ''They call it Black Creek Village now but in the real estate community what they say is, 'Yeah, you bought a house in Love Canal.'''
Nearly 1,000 families had to be evacuated, and most of their homes were demolished. But about 250 houses were renovated and resold. As the cleanup drew to an end, prices crept up. Two years ago, three-bedroom ranches were selling in Love Canal for around $45,000. Last month, one in the same area sold for more than $75,000. ''The market will always come back,'' said Mr. Stefik's father, Robert, who is 80, ''if you live long enough.'' Anthony DePalma

Prosper: Grade 'B' For August Consumer Confidence, Back To School ShoppingMonday August 26th, 2013 - 12:07PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
According to Prosper Analytics and Insights, consumer confidence fell in August, two points on its scale, to 37.8, putting it above the figure for August of last year but generally lower than the sentiment expressed in 2013 surveys the market research firm has conducted. Prosper noted, however, that the August score was the second highest for the month since the recession. Consumers continue to focus on practical, need-based purchasing, but that trend has remained stable even showed some evidence of declining slightly, particularly in the vacation month of August. Still, that is unlikely to lead to a surge in consumer spending on back to school. Consumers responding to the Prosper survey said they will spend less this year than last on back to school— $632 versus $689— but the 2013 figure is the second highest in since 2008, the market research firm maintained. Prosper pointed out that about one out of three consumers 18 years of age and older shop for back to school.

Delaware River, West Branch
I'll also be posting this in the 'Northeast' section, since it borders states....
I have some free time this weekend and want to make a trip down to the West Branch of the Delaware. People have told me it's great fishing, but I have no idea where to hit up. Does anyone have any recommendations of locations or a good website about the area? Any help would be great. Thank you!!:worthy: |

Behind the Scene of River Road (& Weekly W*nners)
First, the Westbank. New Orleans is (I'm told) kind of like New York in that it's not a single city but a conglomeration of individual neighborhoods, each with its own personality. Most of Orleans Parish (we have parishes instead of counties) lies on the "east bank" of the Mississippi River, between the river and the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain. A sliver of Orleans Parish--the neighborhood of Algiers, primarily--lies on the "west bank" of the river.
The reason I put "east" and "west" in quote marks is that, in New Orleans, directions are a joke. If you ask how to get somewhere, a local will tell you it's "toward the lake" or "toward the river." Because of the way the river winds through the city, and depending on where you are when asking directions, the place you're looking for could actually be north, south, east, or west. Here's what I mean.
You can see the blue of the lake up at the top of the image, and the ribbon of Mississippi River winding through the bottom. The yellowish portion of the map is Orleans Parish and, off to the southeast, you'd be able to travel into Plaquemines Parish.
So, the phenomenon of the "east bank" and the "west bank" is not actually a local's way of telling direction. If you look at the map, the "east bank" is everything north of the river and the "westbank" is everything south of the river.
Adding to that confusion, New Orleans is not laid out on a grid. The streets tend to wind and curve to follow the river and sometimes change names. I lived on Carondelet Street in uptown. If you followed the street all the way through the CBD (central business district) and into the Quarter, when it crossed Canal Street its name changes to Bourbon Street.
Is it any wonder people have trouble finding their way around? DJ knows the area well, but Alex has gotten lost in each of the first two books. By the time Elysian Fields rolls around he seems to have gotten the hang of NOLA directions.
So....did you win a book this week? (And if you're waiting for books from me, I know I sound like a broken record but I'm way way way behind in my mailings. I've also had some books purchased from Book Depository around the holidays just flat-out go missing (waves at Eli), so I don't know what that deal was. I spend a huge amount of money on postage and books for this blog, so I'm going to have a talk with Mr. Book Depository and find out what the problem is.
If you see your name, please email me at suzannej3523 at gmail dot com and I'll get you in my winners list.
MARISKA won The Madman's Daughter.
ALLISON won Marie Brennan's A Natural History of Dragons.
SULLIVAN McPIG won Revel.
Congrats to the winners!

It seems like all of the "old" cities in the US are hard to navigate (although nothing beats Europe). In San Francisco, it's the hills that are the obstacle course. Some streets end before the crest of a hill, but they pick up on the other side with the same street name and you just have to know which ones don't go through, or are so steep that you don't want to be driving up them LOL. I used to live in the City so I know my way around, but my hubs gets endlessly confused by this.
I know you were talking last week about how to get more exposure for the Sentinels series. River Road was reviewed (very favorably) on All Things Urban Fantasy today. That should give you a bump.RepliesYay--thanks for passing that along, Jen! They didn't like Royal Street (I'm talking major dislike) so I was waiting to see what they'd do with River Road. I do think RR is a stronger book, so I'm glad to see it got a good review!
DeleteRight, I remember that review, and I have to admit that it pushed Royal Street down on my wishlist. I'm so glad I finally did read it for myself. I enjoy reading blogs, but I've learned to take the reviews with a grain of salt. So often, they rave about books I'm not wild about. Plus, most blogs have several reviewers these days, so they are not consistent. I often will agree only with one particular reviewer on a blog and not the others. I also ignore the ones that rave about every book they read. I mean, c'mon, if you tell me you "loved, loved, loved" every book you read, you are either lying, or you don't have any literary taste at all.
DeleteYeah, reviewing books is a subjective business. I tend not to review many books on this site anymore, and I don't review any book I don't honestly like because as an author I'm not in a position where I'm comfortable criticizing other authors. The trick on the real review sites, I think, is finding a reviewer whose tastes seem to match yours most of the time.
Fun post, great looking street map. Someday I'll get to New Orleans. I grew up on the Mississippi in Davenport, Iowa, part of the Quad Cities. You would be going thru Rock Island and Moline and streets turned into Avenues and Avenues turned into streets. One city had streets that ran North & South and the other city had them run East & West.
ReplyDeleteI much prefer cities that aren't laid out on a grid pattern. Grids are pretty souless while winding roads and changes of names give a place more personality and history. But I could be biased being a Londoner and London is not an easy city to navigate at all - but it does allow you to find some of the most wonderful places through getting lost or moving off the main roads slightly...
ReplyDelete^^ i really appreciate discover all these details.
For the bookdepository you need to act fast, i think you have between 30 and 40 after teh shipping date ( not the order date) to tell them if didn't receive it. before they gave you the choice of a resent or a refund ( now perhaps it's only refund i don't know)
for example in my case i can't ask before 25 days ( because it's the time they need to wait until declare it lost)... i think but i'm not sure that after 40days it's too late
you need to check ( it's for that reason it's always better to send the info so we can check when it's effectively shipped)... my christmas gift disappreared too but i got my refundRepliesAck! Good to know...I will follow up with them ASAP.
Deleteyou need to give them the number of the order in the subject ( they answers really quickly usually in less than 24h)
DeleteI have reported a book missing after 3 months without problems. And there was no trouble at all in sending it again. I do love their helpdesk.
Of course, nowadays it takes 3 to 5 weeks for a book to reach me. I could go and fetch them myself faster ;)

Automating Government with e-Governance
Linux provides true business value to governments through lower costs and better information security as well as proven interoperability through adherence to open standards. However, increased language support is required to increase Linux usage in many government agencies throughout the world. Some government agencies, such as the Israeli Ministry of Finance, have taken a proactive approach and enlisted the help of Sun Microsystems and IBM to add Hebrew support to OpenOffice.org.
Additional attention should be paid to simplifying the steps to add additional language support to the various Linux applications in order to further advance Linux adoption by government agencies. Finally, improved documentation will provide the needed boost to the many open-source supporters itching for a chance to add their favorite language to the many already supported by Linux.

Miss use of e-governance
Dear Sir, I am really impressed by the content of the paper , fluency of its language and clarity with which the advantages of open source software has been brought out.
I would however like to know how to built up various checks and balances in the system of e-governance so that a power hungry high govt. official or a over ambitious political leader can not miss use the system to sbotage public interest for their own gain.Knowledge is power and power is a double edged sword which if used wrongly can do erepairable damage to the socity.Obviously this can not be done by firewall or anti virus softwares, something special is needed to avoid the power hungry and anti social maniac to gain control of e-governance.This danger may not be apparent at present but we can not rule out such catastrophe in distant future.
Please let us know how such balance and checks can be built in the system so that catastrophic decisions either by gogt. or by hackers may be detected and screened out.
Thanking you
Yours faithfully

Re: Automating Government with e-Governance
The article made good reading. I want to know some more technical info. May I request you to take out some time to answer these queries:-
Is the solution totally in Unicode including data storage, sorting, and display using opentype fonts?
Which is the font used? Is it a truetype font or opentype font?
What about the keybaord input? Which IME did you use? What is the layout being used?
The diagram shows that the database server used is Delixus Linux PostgreSQL. Is it different from PostgreSQL? Did you use Kannada sorting on this? If so, is the sorting perfect as per Kannada sorting order?
Expecting an early reply from you.
Thanks and regards,
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Alcantara is composed of about 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane for giving increased durability and stain resistance. The appearance and tactile feel of the material is similar to that of suede, and it's easy to confuse the two. That is until the suede is a couple of years old and starts to get shiny, crack and fade. Production of Alcantara is actually done in a carbon-neutral factory, and doesn't rely on animal products. The complex non-woven manufacturing process yields a supremely soft, long-wearing surface that is now used as an original seat covering material by such as BMW, Maserati, Lamborghini and Audi, and more. Give your seats a freshening, or protect the seats in your new car with a set of Alcantara Custom Seat Covers. The rich, suede-like center sections are flanked by sides of long-wearing, luxurious leatherette. Custom-fitted to your vehicle, they install in minutes and will be difficult to distinguish from original upholstery.
Cover the Seats, don't Hinder the Functionality. Coverking designed Custom Seat Covers to deliver maximum comfort and keep the vehicle seats' features, such as the airbags, seatbelts, and even electric massage, fully functional. It was of vital importance in cover creation process to provide the client with full functionality of the car seats. That's why Coverking's Custom Seat Covers are compatible with seats having integrated airbags, headrest, armrest and console covers. Custom Seat Covers for middle and rear seat rows are also available, offering an option of folding down seat back and a free access to the trunk. Unlike simple cutouts made in other seat covers, the flap prevents wrinkles, preserving the shape of the seat. It is made of the same material as the seat cover to match completely. What makes these Custom Seat Covers distinctive from others is that they can be easily removed along with the seat from the vehicle, remaining on. With the seat cover on, seat backs and bottoms can be moved and adjusted inside the car as well.
299.99The Coverking company was founded in 1986 in Southern California by an Industrial and Electrical Engineer, that previously worked in Aerospace Defense industry. Utilizing the latest CAD/CAM systems borrowed from Aerospace industry, the company managed to shorten the manufacturing process from nearly a month to nearly a single day. Since its launch, the company made a huge leap and has purchased several automotive companies later, some of which dated back to 1974. The company started with Dash Covers products and extended its products line with Custom Floor Mats, Custom Car Covers, Custom Seat Covers and Custom Sunshields. Growing production volumes did not change the company's main focus – creating high quality products that will serve their best to the customers and their vehicles.

| Posted by Janice | (Lodi, CA)I have been using my seat covers about 1 month now and I would, and have, recommended them. Before I bought my seat covers I did a lot of looking around and comparing. I did not want cheap looking seat covers but neither did I want to spend a lot of money. I am not disappointed with these. They were easy to install and it took just a few minutes. I was originally looking for seat covers because the leather on my driver's seat is torn. A friend saw the seat after the covers had been on and she thought I had had the seat replaced. After I told her they are seat covers she looked again and could see they are. She was very impressed with how good they look. The only problem is that my front passenger seat also has buttons for the seat controls but the cover for that seat covers those controls. The cover can be lifted up a bit so we do have access to the controls I just wish the covers came with an option to allow easier access to those automatic controls as the driver's side does. I was not as impressed with the head rest covers and do not use them.

While the game may seem intimidating at first, with its grid of all sorts of numbers and the occasional boulder, it is actually deceptively simple.
Talk about your misnomers! With a name like The Mind Bender, you'd think you were in for an epically long and devious puzzler. Instead, you get a simple, breezy platformer that should make for a nice break from the some of the more intense offerings we've reviewed lately.
Warbears is back with a brand new adventure in Warbears: Mission 3! Training has ended and the 'bears are tasked with an important job: save a group of hostages from a vile band of "animal creatures that can talk".

Instead of walking around a room turning over objects and poking your nose in every corner, in Ambivalence your goal is to unlock a very secure-looking door that sits right in front of you.

Items you find on one side do not transfer to the other, creating a unique collaboration-style atmosphere where you are your own partner.

Anyone that has been visiting this site for a couple of years will likely remember the amazingly popular Hyperframe from 2005, a 3D logic puzzle of connecting same-colored blocks on a 3D cube with unbroken non-intersecting lines.

Yoshio Ishii has just released a sequel to his enormously popular and quite elegant puzzle game Hoshi Saga. There are 36 new levels in which to find the star. Nothing very difficult, just exceptionally creative interaction design like the first one. This one is sure to please.
One of the fastest-growing genres in casual gameplay are hidden object games such as Mystery Case Files and the Hidden Expedition series. Fortunately not all developers are content to copy the same idea, place it in a new setting and throw in a few new items. Forgotten Riddles: The Mayan Princess is one such game, combining an intriguing storyline with dozens of riddles that must be solved in order to learn which items you're supposed to locate.
Speck Oppression is another unique an creative entry, qualities that are becoming standard expectations when learning of a new Komix game on the loose. The idea is to gather energy to fully charge a collector and to unlock the next level. You do so by manipulating the beautiful 'specks' that inhabit this game world.
The latest Grow game from On of Eyezmaze! Need we say more? This is without a doubt On's greatest work-to-date, and in it he embodies an optimistic philosophy. Following the correct order of things will lead to a society where men and women get along happily, the environment is protected and technology is harnessed to discover the secrets of the universe.
As if to whet your appetites for the upcoming game design competition, game authors have been putting out a number of excellent ball physics games. The latest offering is Ramps, put forth by web designer Tyler Sticka. Your mission is to guide a ball from the drop pipe at the top of the screen to the exit pipe at the bottom using — you guessed it — muffins!

Pile O'Bubbles is a new action/puzzle game from the creator of Gravity Pods, Keith Peters of Wicked Pissah Games. It combines fast reflex mouse clicking with a bit of thinking to create a game that's brain wrenching with a touch of (very) old-school arcade style as well.
Venice Mystery is a new casual game download that puts a new twist on mahjong. Instead of clicking identical tile pairs at random, you choose from a small menu of tile types, then click matching tiles on the playing field. To complete the puzzle you must unearth a set number of keys buried beneath the piles of blocks. Set against a Renaissance mystery, it's enough to tickle any gamer's fancy.
Switchball is a 3D action/puzzle title in which your goal is to guide a rolling ball to the end of each stage, solving puzzles and crossing treacherous pathways all the way. The game places a heavy emphasis on realistic physics using the AGEIA engine and looks absolutely gorgeous to boot. It's an extraordinarily well-made title that balances action and puzzle solving for a thoroughly engaging experience.
Tower Bloxx is a captivating action/puzzle game originally created for mobile phones. Using the mouse button you must drop pieces of a skyscraper from a swinging crane at the top of the screen. Stack the blocks neatly or you'll be in for a tough time as the building reaches toward the sky and sways in the wind. A quest mode lets you build an entire city one building at a time and also adds a little strategy to appease the more hardcore gamer in you. It's a near-perfect blend of casual and serious gaming that everyone will enjoy.
Gemsweeper is a casual game of picross (picture crossword puzzles) created by Lobstersoft. Your goal is to uncover hidden treasure by breaking rocks to help Topex reconstruct the temples of El Dorado. Stones are arranged in grids with sets of numbers above and to the left that serve as clues as to which tiles contain gems and which are cursed. Bash cursed tiles with a hammer, then grab gems from the rest of the grid to complete each puzzle and re-build the temple, one brick at a time!
Timebot is an action puzzle game entered into our recent game design competition. It's a game in which you must guide a robot throughout several levels. The objective is to roll onto switches that open doors or materialize platforms and make it to the exit within the time given. The replay mechanic in Timebot turns what would otherwise be a simple platform puzzle game on its head and creates something truly outstanding.
Intriguing, complex, well-planned, fascinating, and fun, Time Raider is a multifaceted game, part puzzle, part timing, and part reflex, where no one of these parts dominates over the other two. As a result, it has a broad appeal to fans of different types of games, and is one of the most creative entries to be submitted to our recent game design competition #3!
A while ago we asked Rob Allen to come up with a banner game for us, something reminiscent of his amazing Hapland series, with which visitors of the site could interact and have fun with while here. We wanted a goal-oriented game that involved lighting all of the letters of the Casual Gameplay logo, and he took the proverbial ball and ran with it. The result is what you see now at the top of this page.
Trapped is a series of 5 adventure puzzle, maze games that start with a minute long "training level" and progresses to 30 minute long (if you play it ten times and memorize the maze) high quality casual gameplay experiences. You are a lonely little arrow, trapped, as the title suggests, in a maze full of simply-shaped enemies set on keeping you there for eternity. Escape if you can.
ReMaze starts off easily enough, with only one corridor down which to guide the white squares. Then there is another, and another, and soon you are caught up trying to navigate several mazes at once, not just to reach the goals, but to reach them simultaneously. Then comes the red death. One misstep and you're toast!
Sick of all of this sudoku nonsense flying about the place? Need a break from all this one-of-each-in-every-row-column-and-square rubbish? I've got the perfect solution for you... sorta. Kakuro—or Cross Sums or Sum Totals, depending on what school of puzzling you were raised in—is another number puzzler that has gained popularity in recent months.
Your plane goes down on a mysterious and seemingly deserted island somewhere off the radar charts, and it is up to you to find a way to 'Escape from Island' using only the resources available to you. Thought-provoking puzzles and a well-illustrated environment together create an atmosphere ripe for adventure and captivating gameplay.
Dream Chronicles is a sensual delight, an intellectual challenge, and a very engaging twist on adventure, seek-and-find and puzzle games. It's been compared to Myst and Uru, and whilst it's certainly not as demanding as those mainstream titles, I found Dream Chronicles even more enjoyable.
DayMare Town is a strange and oddly deserted town that gives the unsettling feeling that eyes are peering from around corners. It is drab and dreary, not a very pleasant place to be. But now you're stuck, and you'll do anything you can to leave.
Gravity Pods is a physics-based vector shooting/puzzle title created by Wicked Pissah Games. The goal is to fire a projectile and hit a target across the screen. Barriers are usually in the way, but by using gravity pods you can bend the path your projectile takes to send it virtually anywhere on the screen.
A Flash version of the classic Denki Blocks originally made for the Game Boy Advance. The goal of each level is to maneuver blocks of the same color so that they touch. Use the arrow keys to move the entire set of blocks around the screen. Immovable black squares can be used to prevent certain blocks from moving, allowing you to separate adjacent blocks from each other. The twist here is that when blocks of the same color meet, they fuse into a single block. Although this is the ultimate goal of the game, you'll have to be careful, as you can easily render a level unsolvable through premature fusions. With 100 levels, Jelly Blocks contains more than enough puzzler goodness to satisfy the hunger of anyone.
Everybody likes flinging around barrels full of toxic waste, right? Toss, tumble.... Oops. Well, perhaps not in a real environment, unless you are a law-breaking factory owner with questionable ethics. But, when tossed across a gorgeous fantasy landscape, lined with carefully placed adjustable platforms and forces, it isn't so bad. When you get to clear the way with dynamite, and watch things explode... now we're talking.
Azada combines elements from a number of casual genres to create a game that's one of the most unique titles I've played in months. Take a point-and-click game such as Myst, then combine it with item hunting from Mystery Case Files and throw in a dash of short puzzles just for fun. Everything is so elegantly combined that you can't help but keep playing, both to uncover the rest of the story and to experience more puzzles.
A new puzzle game with a distinct ARG smell recently popped on the scene without much known about what it is or who is behind it. Ethan Haas Was Right is a mysterious Flash-based website that presents a series of 5 unique puzzles, some original and some rehashed versions of classic puzzle games. Even if you don't care for alternate reality games in general, there's enough here for a few sessions of casual gameplay.
Bart Bonte's entry into the second Casual Gameplay Design Contest, Chicken Grow, once again showcases the mosaic-like artwork we have come to love from his games. The game centers around one impatient-looking chicken, waiting for you to feed and water it. Doing so requires you to solve two puzzles—one to turn on the water and the other to release chicken feed from a machine.
Flashxed manages to breathe a little life into the familiar block-matching puzzle theme with a new mechanic: block dragging. You're presented with a set of bricks with colored orbs sparkling inside. Drag blocks left or right one at a time, and if two or more blocks of the same color touch, they smash and crumble away. It's extraordinarily perplexing at times, but that challenge is what makes it so fun.
A lecturer at The Guildhall at Southern Methodist University in Software Development for Games, Jeff Wofford has been working in the games industry for over 10 years. He has also just released this addictive little Flash puzzle game that plays like a cross between a tangram and a sliding block puzzle.
In Red White Yellow, the objective is to create groups of the same color in quantities of 6 or more by dropping the falling blocks into place. However, like its name suggests, Red White Yellow is also the order in which you must clear groups from play. It's a unique new twist to the new generation of falling block puzzle games popularized by Lumines. The selectable soundtracks make this game really special.
Bloxorz is a simple idea for a puzzle game that is beautifully executed. The objective is to tumble a rectangular block through each stage and deposit it into the square hole at the end. Using a series of bridge-opening switches, teleporters, and block-splitting switches, solve the puzzle each stage presents to move on to the next of the game's 33 levels.
Puzzle fans rejoice! A sequel to the critically acclaimed action puzzler, Professor Fizzwizzle, is here and it's HOT! Just released by Grubby games, Professor Fizzwizzle and the Molten Mystery picks up where the first game leaves off and presents over 200 fresh new levels to sink your puzzle-loving teeth into.
Ring Pass Not is an original new puzzle game by indie developer, Sandhill Games. The objective: fill the magic circle with tiles by matching adjacent tiles by their color or symbol. Score bonus tools and power-ups by completing special combos of tiles, which will help you advance further in the game with its 30 unique and increasingly more difficult levels.
Ricochet shooting stars across the sky to light the heavens and unlock levels in this dazzling new action puzzler by Hero Interactive. Starshine is a game of rays and angles in which the objective is to light all of the stars to advance to the next level. You have but a single shooting star in your arsenal to fire from anywhere along the outer edge of the circular field of play. The path your shooting star will take depends on the type of stars it comes in contact with.
A missile is launched and it is up to you to solve the mysteries and rituals of The Shrine and save the world. In this amazing and well-produced point-and-click adventure by Aztec, you will encounter lots of items to find, hidden rooms, and various contraptions to activate and control. Cut scene animations reward you at various stages along the way.
Just when you thought you had seen the last of the Submachines for a while, Mateusz Skutnik comes around full circle and delivers another installment in one of the best point-and-click room escape game series on the Web. Submachine: Future Loop Foundation features music from a band of the same name (Future Loop Foundation) and it sets the mood very nicely for another enjoyable adventure.
Loose the Moose is the latest point-and-click, escape-the-room game from Bart Bonte. As with most other games like it, the premise is a simple one: you're in a room, you need to get out. You will have to be observant and think logically to solve puzzles that lead you to your escape.
Designed for our recent "grow" themed competition, Rob Allen of Foon.co.uk sent word today that he has finally finished his entry, and we have been scrambling ever since receiving his note to come up with a prize to award him for the latest entry ever. Eye Defence is an action puzzle game with elements of both Grow and Hapland rolled into one.
Hoshi Saga is a simple game of discovery. One part point-and-click and one part puzzle game, the objective in each of the game's 36 stages is to find the star. How you go about doing that is different for every stage. The task is up to you to figure out how. Just right to get those brain cells jumping with inspiration and excitement on a Monday.
Dr. Steel has enlisted the talents of Starkraven Madd to take the task of growing his robot army and transform it into a stimulating puzzle game for the masses! It's a simple matter of placing the fuses in the proper slots to provide energy to the mysterious robot growth chamber.
Well, it's happened again. You've gone and gotten yourself stranded in the middle of enemy territory, surrounded by mines, turrets, and electrified Tesla gates. As usual, your only hope is to get to that little flag, even though all it ever seems to do is take you to another enemy-filled battlefield. Hmmm... Your steering mechanism also seems to be stuck, so you'll have to let the terrain dictate your path.
We here at Casual Gameplay have been fans of the work Yoshio Ishii has been doing in Shockwave and Flash for several years now. He may be best known for his Neko series of games (neko means "cat" in Japanese), though he has also created some of the best Panzo games as well. His latest effort is this beautiful and delightful game that will give your brain some stimulation as you play.
Logic puzzle fans of Minesweeper and the recently reviewed Slither Link will enjoy this latest logic puzzle design from Wouter Visser, author of PLANned. The rules of Count Out are simple to understand: derive the locations of all the golden squares on the board from the numbers given.
NOBuzzle Tree is a beautiful logic puzzle game that is based on a simple concept; but its simplicity may be deceiving. The 'grow' theme implementation in this game, apart from the obvious sprouting tree blossoms, actually has a similarity to an Eyezmaze Grow game: Each puzzle has a correct sequence that will make the tree blossom in full. Can you find it?
Slither Link by Luke Harrison will tickle the fancies of you logic puzzle fans out there. While Luke gets the credit for making this polished Flash version of Slitherlink, the actual puzzle was invented by the Japanese publishing company Nikoli. Nikoli is also known for popularizing Sudoku, and publishes a number of other similar logic puzzles.
Enter the Rental House and note the viridian green walls. This Japanese-made adventure offers a quality game play experience packed with puzzles that will force you to think logically. It is a straight forward game of its genre with only a couple of minor pixel hunts involved. Easy enough to complete on ones own, and yet challenging to give you about an hour's worth of fun.
OK, here's the scene: you're stranded with a handful of your best friends on some strange platforms suspended above an endless black abyss. You're understandably a little bit scared, all of you. You won't wander off onto a new platform unless you have at least one friend to go with you, and inevitably one of you chickens out and stays behind in relative safety—after all, they've seen some of the platforms drop away into nothing!
Welcome to Tonypa's school of game design. Start with a very simple gameplay idea; it doesn't have to be original, but the idea has to be simple enough for anyone to understand immediately. Include a few attractive graphics in a minimalist style of your own design. Add a pleasing and relaxing soundtrack. Toss everything in a box and flip it upside down. Voilà. Brand new game all your own.
Colour Connect is a game created by Matthew Dirks and submitted to our first game competition. It was initially comprised of only a single, randomly generated level, and it showed a lot of potential. Responding to the feedback he received from the first version, Matthew recently reworked the design into a full-featured, multi-level game that is both fun and addictive.
I think many people who frequent this site would agree: Tonypa is one of our favorite casual game designers. Grow Word, his submission to Casual Gameplay's second competition exhibits many of the characteristics that we have come to love about Tonypa's games: it's elegant, understated, and easy to learn but hard to master.
A match-3 action puzzle game with zoo animals and a memorable soundtrack. While the moody animals are a nice touch, it is the Quest mode which makes this game enticingly addictive. As the zookeeper, you are set to 10 different tasks by your angry little boss. With clever variations, an emotional lot of animals and an uppity, cigar-smoking boss, Kiteretsu's Zookeeper will keep you busy and entertained.
On from Eyezmaze just released a brand new game he made to celebrate the birth of a friend's baby, Galves Adventure. In this charming little point-and-click, adventure puzzle game, help baby Galves make it through to where the sleeping boss lion lay. Click on various items in the right sequence and at the appropriate times to advance the little baby up to the top, at which point a boss battle will commence.
Frog and Vine is a unique collection of puzzles entered in our second Flash game design competition by Matt Slaybaugh, creator of Escape to Obion. Frog and Vine is one of the more varied entries and features four types of puzzles that can be completed in any order. And if the name didn't give it away, each one involves frogs and/or vines!
Aqui Griffin delivered a visually stunning entry to our recent game design competition that is as easy to pick-up and play as it is to look at. enQbate is a simple puzzle game in which the objective is to highlight all cells in play by mousing over them with the cursor and then clicking.
At first glance, the latest offering from Taro Ito's GameDesign appears to be just another Tetris clone, but closer inspection reveals gameplay dependent upon color rather than shape. In Porolith Flash, the objective is to stack and group shapes of the same color together to remove them from play.
You sit yourself down in front of an odd looking, dusty old monitor that displays what appears to be a radar screen with a few colored markers and controls along the outer edge. There are no instructions to be found anywhere, just the thrill of discovery by pointing and clicking with the mouse. You can do no harm to it; nothing is going to break or send you whirling into space without a helmet. So leave caution to the wind and boldly go into Orbit.
A new game from Donut Games, creator of Castle Smasher, has just rolled onto the web: Chicken & Egg. All of the cute chickens have been trapped in their eggs by the Easter Bunny. It's your job to match like-colored shells together by sliding the eggs across the grid. When the pairs come together, they hatch, revealing a set of rather bewildered chicks!
From John Hattan comes BaffleBees, a quick, fun puzzle game for those on a coffee break. Be the best by ordering your bees around the hive until your entire honeycomb is filled with honey. The game has extremely simple graphics and almost zero sound. That said, it is fun and casual play. There are a multitude of other games on the site that are worth a look as well.
Matt Hammill's Gesundheit! is a beautifully hand-drawn, action puzzle game with a soothing toy-instrument soundtrack (you'll need it) and adorable sound effects. You play an allergic pig chafing under the invasion of hungry monsters from the mountains.The monsters can hear your footsteps, and if they see you, they'll eat you. But you have a secret weapon - your yummy snot!
Tower of Babblers, an entry by Lars A. Doucet in our second Flash game design competition, is one part puzzle, one part frantic action game. It takes the contest theme of "grow" and morphs it a bit into "build", incorporating cute fuzzy creatures into one of the most unique titles entered into the competition.
Created by Philipp Lenssen, Games for the Brain is a series of almost 40 different puzzle games to exercise and challenge your brain. It's a remarkably well-designed site that features a good variety of puzzles to tickle your gray matter.
For those who've been to Clack and back, it's time for another puzzle adventure with Clack 2, as Sean Hawkes has been busy finishing up the next in what is shaping up to be a series of delightful puzzle games. If you haven't already played the original, you may want to go do that first as it is an excellent introduction to these wonderful and original, Flash mechanical puzzle toys.
It really is amazing to see such creativity sprout from a simple word, as with the recent competition and its "grow" theme. Beginning with a very simple premise of expanding rectangles on a grid to connect them, Wouter Visser creates a unique and enjoyable puzzle game entry with PLANned. In this 18-level game, there are only but a few rules that you need to know to get started.
On of Eyezmaze continues to impress and amaze us with his game development skills, and Dwarf Complete is no exception. Perhaps his most ambitious project to date, the game was commissioned for the online RPG, Lineage II, and it even features dwarves from that game. Dwarf Complete is an amazingly good adventure puzzle game with quality, presentation and gameplay that all helped push this title to the top of the Best of 2007.
Earning an honorable mention in our 2nd Flash game competition is Rings and Sticks, a captivating and original puzzle game from designer Komix and created expressly for the competition. More so than any other entry in the contest, Rings and Sticks took the Grow theme and made it a fundamental element of the gameplay.
In Gateway 2 you again guide a robot, through a dream-like setting, in order to solve numerous and varied mini-puzzles for a seemingly unknown purpose (though a purpose there is, as you soon discover). Using well-placed musical cues and subtle environmental sound the author has created a virtual world that draws you in from the moment you launch the game. The setting and aesthetics are so enticing and mysterious, it doesn't matter at first that you don't know what your ultimate goal is (or indeed if you have one).
Sprout is a creative and original puzzle adventure game created for our second Casual Gameplay Design Competition. From the moment you lay eyes on it you know it's something special. The unique artwork for a Flash game has a paper-cut appearance that lends a storybook atmosphere to the game. This environment perfectly suits the role you play as a young seedling trying to find its way home. Sprout has everything we love to see in a Flash game: originality, a simple design, and a beautiful presentation.
More than just Dis or Dat questions, the quiz show with attitude has recently gone through an upgrade to feature complete rounds similar to the You Don't Know Jack CD-ROM games. Expect strange topics, off-beat humor and tons of backtalk from our favorite narrator. Brought to you by Jellyvision.
Block Quest, the sequel to Block Action, is a free online platformer game with hundreds of user-created levels to play. Run, climb and wall jump your way through the surprisingly deep variety of stages of varying difficulty and creativity. It's a very simple game idea that has turned to gold in the hands of its users.
You might have guessed that with a name like Growbal Warming, it is likely the next entry from our "grow" themed competition; and you'd be right! The game was designed and created by Richard Ohanian, a fellow alum of RIT, and it features gameplay that mimics the futility we potentially face with the problem of global warming.
Hewitt is a top-notch online adventure game that two developers, Casper Smith and C. Gianelloni, spent over a year creating. Their hard work is apparent: Hewitt looks and plays great and is a surprisingly long game. Aside from some fairly quirky puzzle elements Hewitt provides a solid experience for any adventure/point-and-click fan.
In what is probably the shortest installment of the Grow series to date, the minigame Grow Nano vol.2 from Eyezmaze is still full of charm. The mechanics are the same as other installments, simply click the items and hope you found the right order. This time around there are just three things to choose from: a cape, a headband, and a stick. Experiment to find the right order and see what happens!
This is one game that will destroy your social life. Join numbered blocks together to add their amounts and cause blocks with the same digits to vanish. As more bricks rise from the bottom of the screen, you must frantically add them together to keep the stack from reaching the top. It's more puzzle gaming enjoyment than I've had in a very long time, and the pacing is perfect to keep you motivated but not frustrate you. Nice visuals and really catchy music are extra special bonuses.
Stained Glass is a simple and beautiful logic puzzle with an arrangement of tiles in the right-hand "window", each in four segments, with each segment potentially a different color. You must arrange colored tiles in the left-hand "window" so that all of the colors match. When you finish one level you move on to the next, larger level. Another classic casual game by Taro Ito of GameDesign.

The big September issues are in full swing. You can almost feel the cool breeze (or maybe that was my dog). Either way, if you haven't yet received the giant books of a magazine in the mail you know them all too well as the ones that distract you in the grocery store line alongside the Reeses Cups & tabloid headlines that read "Stars Have Cellulite"…big shocker there!
The depressing thing about most of the September magazines is their price tag. Not the magazine itself, those normally run around 4 bucks, but the items inside like the $395 Brian Atwood pumps or $245 DKNY blouse along with the many other drool worthy pieces. Since the plan is to wear the items not place them in a glass box I'm afraid I'd have to pass on selling my arm for a FENDI bag or a pair of Paige jeans.
It is important to remember that trends are trends and while pattern pants are currently having their prom queen moment. That too will pass just like high school. So in order to get your fashion fix with fashion trends you can afford…here's to WINNING this fall.
