Gabriel Knight 3: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned (Windows)

Supaplex (DOS)
Probably the game I spent most time with of all games!
The Good
The game contains much levels, which have a slowly upgoing difficulty, but never is too easy that you get bored of it. All levels are replayable at any time which makes it fun to play a level again sometimes when you want.
The graphics were for the time it got released really good and especially very smooth. Also the game engine was very stable and everything always went the same way so you could calculate to solve puzzles.
Me and my family spent at least 500 hours on playing this game, from which 200 hours with levels which we didn't save yet (it counts the time you spend on not-saved-levels) but i'm pretty sure we spend at least as much time at replaying levels. With some friends after school, take turns on saving a level, that was fun!
The Bad
I liked allmost all of this game except maybe that some levels might be slightly to difficult or even close to impossible.
The Bottom Line
One of the best, most addictive and best designed puzzlegame of the past century. Fun for hours, for kids and adults. Everything a game should have is inside. The concept is taken from Boulderdash - but it's a damn good clone, so who cares!

Torin's Passage (Windows)
One of the most entertaining games for all ages!
The Good
This game contains very good humor, as well for old as for young people. The appearance of the Bitternuts in the 2nd world is one of my favourite game-moments. Also the story is thought out very well. You have questions all the time and they get answered right at the end of the game. The voice acting is really fantastic too. It's a game for all ages, that's what's so wonderful about it, everyone can play it. I love the way boogle is included in the game too. I can keep going on this way, I like allmost everything about it!
The Bad
Well what didn't I like? Maybe it was a little bit too short, and some of the puzzles were a little bit confusing. And the interface looked weird and was quite too big. For the rest it was a fantastic game.
The Bottom Line
A great and entertaining adventure which can be played by adults and children. It contains cartoonish humor for children as well good text-jokes for adults. Some great parodies on other characters are for adults too, like the Bitternuts, a fifties-tv-show parody.
