Keep the zombies out of your house no matter what or they’ll eat your brain! Plant vs Zombies, an unique play, is not only fun, but it will get very challenging as the levels go higher. The cartoon artwork will alleviate any blood and gore worries you may associate with walking zombies. The only concern for young kids may be when the zombies are beaten will lose their heads and body parts.
The play is to click on the available seed packet, drag it to the green sod, plant it to stop the zombies. Clicking on the suns will gain you more seed packets. When you plant sunflowers, it will produce more suns to click on. After a certain number of points, you will get different packets to stave off the monsters. The pea shooters can down the zombies, the sunflowers produce only suns (but are needed to increase your score to access more seed packets), cherry bombs will blow up your enemies, potato seeds only block and slow down the zombies, freeze shooters are similar to pea shooters but more effective, purple devourers will eat the zombies and more seed packets will become available as you pass each level. Some plants shoot, destroy zombies and others slow them down. You decide where to plant each type of seed depending on what they do.
The higher the level, more zombies will be lumbering towards your home. Some zombies with poles can vault over your barriers. If they should get passed all your blockades, the last form of defense is the lawnmower. It will mow down the zombies in that path.
One of the mini games is the bowling for zombies with potatoes. The potatoes will roll across the top of the screen. When you click on a potato, drag it to the sod path where a zombie is walking towards the house. It will roll down the grass and knock over the zombie. This is a fast action game and you must quickly grab a potato and use it appropriately. The red, hot potato will explode the zombies but they are few and far apart.
Plants vs Zombies is just a fun action packed game and nothing more. Well, maybe you would like to protect your brain from being eaten so it’s prudent of you to keep pace with destroying the dreaded zombies.

As in the first Miss Teri Tale mystery, Miss Teri Tale: Vote 4 Me is deep in mystery and political rivalry. Miss Teri after a successful run, with her latest novel, thanks to the kidnapped dog, Jason, is now fully immersed in her new life in Peeking Town and its suburban idiosyncrasies. She is helping her neighbors take care of their dog, filling in for the dog groomer, breaking in and searching homes. This time around she is more familiar with her neighbors but as in any small town there are always new people moving in.
Miss Teri Tale: Vote 4 Me is a hidden object Mac game with mini puzzles cleverly incorporated into the main play. You begin in Teri’s home searching for her notebook. The spiral notebook will list the hidden objects you must find in each scene. In every room there will be 3 clovers to find and use as hints. Next you will look for her cell phone. This will tell you how much time you have in your search. Then find the map and you can click on it to tell you where you are in the town. There is a set amount of time you have to search each scene, but this should not be a problem since you will have more than enough hints if you find the clovers.
A different seek and find play is not in a room, but on Teri’s computer desktop. You will need to find all the Jason files and put them away, and the emails will let you know what you need to do. The blue arrow in the lower right will take you to her diary. In addition, the ballot box will let you know who votes for whom.
There are a few action games in between the hidden object plays. When you get to Karma Pet Shop you are asked to take over the duties while the proprietor goes on an errand. You will need to bathe, dry, groom and feed the dogs. You must do it before they get impatient or you will be starting over again. As in the first game, you will be asked to figure out combinations on locks to enter someone’s home or locked room. There’s also a shooting game with anti virus nurses shooting computer “bugs” entering your computer one by one.
Miss Teri Tale: Vote 4 Me is a fun hidden object game with a lot of side puzzles very similar to the first version. The scenes are clear, almost like photographs, and the objects are not all easily visible, but always enjoyable to search for. This Mac game is lively and interesting to play. Take some time and get to know the wacky characters in Peeking Town, USA by searching their homes and getting their votes.

Would you like to own a battle droid? How about two or three? How about an armada of laser firing pillboxes of doom? In Droid Assault, the choice is yours, take a lone warrior bot into battle or bring the whole gang. Droid assault is an arcade-formatted shooter that allows players fight off numerous amounts of droids in a cybernetic world. Run around firing laser at the waves of enemies or better yet make some of those enemies your allies. The story line to Droid Assault is simple: make it through enemy droid levels of doom without losing all your droids and you succeed. The only other thing left to do is continue to survive the onslaught of more opposing droids and more obstacles in the way that just seem to never get any easier. Along with that the controls are not for the laidback type of gamer. In fact the multitude of shooting, aiming, and running around is tough to follow with keys and a mouse pad at first. However many experienced gamers will just relate the controls to a PS3 or Xbox controller and adapt to the funky feel over a few practice rounds.
Fear not readers, the game is not a fight to always progress past one difficult level with handicapped controls. Instead the farther one goes in Droid Assault is usually determined by their tactics at the start of the game. By utilizing your transfer power and taking a few hits to defeat everyone, the end result is the vaporization of anyone that stands in your way.
A key factor in succeeding in Droid Assault is the hacking power. By transferring a robot’s power into another robot, the hacking process allows control over any enemy as long as the player has more transfer abilities to spare. This lets players to rear an army of buddies that waddle around the screen getting into trouble or fighting the enemy. This seems infinite at first, but little did I realize that the power should be used sparingly. The essence of success comes with not only with the mass destruction of all the other bots, but with patience and wits on the machine battlefield the loss of your guys compared to the level makes the chances of winning that much more.
Overall Droid Assault has the feel of an arcade game that has me putting in more and more quarters to be able to grab a high score that I can brag about. The thrill of dodging lasers while hijacking foes is quite addictive and has me wanting more. Droid Assault gets 4 out of 5 stars for its break fast pace and boxy little death-bots.
Features in Droid Assault include:
-50 Levels of mayhem
-48 Types of droids
-20 Different weapons of destruction
-17 Kinds of powerups
-4 Boss levels
-High Scores that are worth fighting for!

We, at Macgames.org, decided to change it up a bit, and videotape a blogger playing Mac game Atomic Cannon instead of writing about it. The variety and originality of the weapons are a strong draw in this army game, but the ultimate goal is to win your wars. In order to win, you take your knowledge of physics and aim your tank at the correct trajectory and power to hit your opponent. You take turns shooting at each other, but if you miss, you don’t need to worry since it takes multiple times before you or your opponent can be destroyed.
The graphics although simple are impressive when large chunks of earth are destroyed by a bomb. The landscapes are changed with the multiple bombings between you and the enemy. Other weapons will build up land creating a high mountain. Some weapons will affect your enemy over time like the radioactive bomb.
The sound effects are terrific and authentic to the play. Atomic Cannon is an awesome play without the usual blood and gore. It’s different but still loads of fun. Hope you enjoy the show.
Features of Atomic Cannon:
-85 Weapons
-26 Landscapes
-Multiplayer Mode
