Mac Games – reviews and game downloads

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.

Can you remember the good old days when video games were simple and fun? Well, I’m too young to remember that, but if I was a little bit older I would remember games like Titan Attacks more fondly.  This game is like the new Ford Mustang, it feels familiar but is so much cooler and feels so much newer.  Titan Attacks is a basic clone of Space Invaders, but brings the old into a new era.

The object of this game is to prevent the invaders from taking over earth.  You are in a tank that shoots bullets and bombs.  As you destroy more and more invaders, you gain money to buy upgrades in catagories like guns and shield.  This gives you more protection against the waves of enemies that drop down from the sky.  As the levels continue, the enemies get harder to destroy and come at you faster.

Titan Attacks, like Space Invaders, is an arcade game.  The highest score wins the game.  Personally, this game reminds me of good times down at the arcade.  This game is extremely addicting and lets you autosave the game, if you have to quit suddenly.  The only problem one might have with this game is the originality factor, but I saw it as a new and improved version of a classic. I would give this game 4 stars out of 5.

Santa Claus needs help from you in Santa’s Super Friends, an action filled Mac game. A problem arose with one of the production workers at the toy factory and that person was fired. In retaliation Stanley Reek stole all the toys days before Christmas. You have to help the elves make enough toys for all the good children in the world.

There are 2 modes to this lively game with seasonal type music. A conveyor belt snakes around the workshop bringing different colored toy parts down the line. You must match the color and the pieces to make one complete toy. The brown teddy bear must have a brown head, body, right arm, left arm, right leg and left leg. Initially there are few colors and few parts to complete a level in the Quest mode, but that slow work stops quickly and there are more parts, more colors and different types of toys coming down the conveyor belt. You must put together a number of toys before the level is complete. In Survival mode parts keep coming down the line until they reach the warning sign and ends the game.

Since there are 3 difficulty levels, children and casual gamers can both enjoy this play. It does get challenging in the higher levels because Santa is in a hurry and needs his toys as soon as possible. This is a fun play at any time and being a Christmas theme is an added plus.
