Mac Games – reviews and game downloads

Do you love that old Super Mario game where you jump around on the platforms and battle your friends. You know, the one with the TNT brick in the middle of the level to bail you out if the enemies became too overwhelming. If you know what I am talking about, then you will love Snowy Bear. This game is very similar to that game, but adds a new and interesting element. Instead of jumping on top of enemies to destroy them, you throw snowballs at them until they become one giant snowball. Once you do this, you kick the snowball, which jumps around the level and takes out the other enemies in its path. What is cool about this is that you can beat the levels very quickly but most of the time it is much more challenging to be successful with this type of attack.

The simplicity of Snowy Bear makes it great. Even though this game has been done before, it feels new and interesting. It is definitely something I could play over and over. The music is also upbeat the fun, something that can be enjoyed by the whole family. I would definitely say that the coolest part of the game is discovering the cool upgrades that you get when you destroy giant presents that drop into the level. Besides giving you extra points, these presents often give you something else like an extra life or in one case a helicopter that allows you to fly around the entire level and attack your enemies that way. There are also boss levels at the end of the stages which are both challenging and a good change of pace from the regular game. This is one of those special games that you know are just plain fun. I give Snowy Bear five out of five stars.

Running a candy factory is no walk in the park for Kate Gainsborough and her grandfather. The legendary candy factory is going through some hectic times as candy is flowing at an alarming rate from all corners. Trains and trains of candy orbs are in need of Kate to match up 3 or more colors to stop this candy madness from getting out of hand.

Sweetopia is very similar to the game Luxor I have previously reviewed on macgames.info. The matching and firing of color orbs is always very enjoyable for myself even if the games are near identical to each other. As every level gets more and more intricate and tougher, more power-ups and different locations to fire from become available to destroy those pesky candy trains. Overall Sweetopia is a treat worth buying and is a 4.5 out of 5 stars as I can not see myself getting bored with playing this type of game no matter how many variations I’ve played in the past.

Chef Ramsay may seem like one tough shell to crack on the outside, but we all know he’s a softie on the inside. In Hell’s Kitchen, you can unlock this never before seen side to Ramsay, as long as you keep the kitchen moving. Prepare dishes, seat customers, and always get your waiters moving, as Hell’s Kitchen is a race to please the almighty head chef Ramsay and climb the ranks to the top chef.

Tending to the restaurant while staying on pace with Ramsay’s expectations, in the form of stars, is not all that Hell’s Kitchen offers the player. Real recipes, no doubt from the show and Mr. Ramsay, are found on every level the player progresses to. You can work your virtual kitchen and learn to make actual food in your own home all in one place.

The dynamics of this game are simple: point and click to make the waiter attend multiple actions, and point and click ingredients to prepare and cook meals as the chef. Picking up the game is similar to the Diner Dash series yet the concept is different. Players must choose how to balance between making the meal or serving it. The switching of kitchen to restaurant floor can become a little overwhelming, but apart from being a major aspect of the game, it’s still very rewarding to time a meal right and make Gordon tear up from your excellence as a chef. I give Hell’s Kitchen a 4 out of 5 stars.
