Mac Games – reviews and game downloads

Learn to be an animal expert by playing the enjoyable Mac puzzle game Animal Genius. Use your vast animal knowledge to beat the game and win an animal. Go to different continents searching for and learning about the native animals in that area from steamy jungles to the frosty arctic.

There are many entertaining plays to try to outsmart the game. 25 points is needed to win a dolphin and you get different amount of points for each game depending on how well you do. So in order to get enough points, you must do the math by adding up the points you get from each game. The Creature Collector will give you a description like furry and you click on the animal with fur when they come out of their holes. This game is similar to hitting the groundhog on the head arcade game. Scratch and See will have you using your cursor back and forth to scratch out the gray in order to see what animal is hidden behind the paint. If you do not do this quickly, you may not be able to identify the subject behind the shield since it’s timed. Another game is the Maze Munch. This is where you run around a maze until you get to an opening and you try to catch a fly with your mouth. Ugh! No, the gecko catches the flies. Match-o-matics is another fun game. You match the coating of an animal or lizard to the animal. You will be presented bumpy, hard green coating, and you will be given animals at the bottom of the screen to match its skin. Another game is 10 questions. You will be asked 10 questions about one animal and you are to answer either yes or no before time runs out.

Animal Genius is an exciting and amusing as well as educational Mac game. The artwork and photographs are colorful and clear, the music lively and children friendly. The moves are simple and easy for kids to learn and enjoy. The narrators, both male and female, enunciate and speak clearly with enthusiastic voices. Kids can learn about different types of animals and also do a little math while playing the games. Animal Genius is full of fun games where your children can learn and have an awesome time.

Bust-a-Move has nothing on Luxor Amun Rising. Its fantastic continuous play will keep you captivated for a long time. That is if your hand, eye coordination is intact enough to shoot at the oncoming coils of colorful orbs.

The play is exactly like the other Luxor games with you shooting an orb at the snaking rows of balls. You shoot your sphere at a group of 2 or more like colored orbs to destroy and extinguish them from the row of balls before they wind quickly into the pyramid. In addition to avoiding the unthinkable, you must catch gems for points and symbols to activate power-ups. You can also right click to swap out your current ball for the next one if it is advantageous.

Speed and accuracy is the name of the game so you need to flex your nimble hands to ready them for the challenge of this shooter arcade Mac game. Don’t let the balls snake into the pyramid or it’s all over. Have a good time with Luxor: Amun Rising or any of the Luxor products. They are all good.

With a name like Fairy Treasure you would expect a light, slow moving magical game with lots of sparkly pixie dust. This Mac game is nothing like that. It’s fast, explosive and extra awesome. An arcade play with a story about good and evil, royal gems and fighting witches.

A breakout play with the bat shooter at the bottom of the screen. You move the bat right and left, click to shoot up at the bricks and walls surrounding gems, power-ups, good and bad bonuses. You cannot lose your ball into the river below or you lose a life. When you lose all your balls, you lose and the game is over. However when all the bricks are destroyed, you complete the level. Customize the difficulty for your own skill level and figure out how to shoot around the many obstacles.

The play is a fun arcade action with 120 levels plus bonus levels, lots of power-ups and bonuses both good and bad. The graphics are dark and gloomy looking—just right for this story of wicked, ugly hags, trolls and goblins. Even though I didn’t get into the tale much, I liked the game. This fast-paced, action packed shooting play is good fun for both casual and hardcore gamers.
