Zak and Jack: Showdown at Monster Town Review
Monster Town is under attack by evil monsters in Mac game Zak and Jack: Showdown at Monster Town. It is a colorful, fun shooter game full of action and speed. There are good monsters and bad monster in this comical play, and you must help Zak 
and Jack, two good monsters, defend their beloved Monster Town. The 2 of them are creative inventor types who can rig up shooting machines in order to beat down the massive invasion of the enemy.
The play is simple and straightforward with the crazy contraptions used to defend the town. Just click to shoot while you move Zak and Jack up and down on their invention. It’s not as easy as it sounds because the evil villains constantly at different positions keep coming at you until you shoot all the monsters. After each level the swarm of bad guys increases exponentially rising high and low.
In addition to this mega invasion there are the bosses who can cause much harm and havoc to the invention causing you to lose the level and restart. Don’t fret, keep at it and you’ll eventually beat the levels getting a high percentage of accuracy. This percentage is important to complete each level so don’t shoot willy-nilly at anything. You can always get good power-ups to assist your fight, but beware of the red ones. They are not helpful.
Zak and Jack: Showdown at Monster Town is an arcade, shooter Mac game with so much action you’ll need to take breaks after so many levels or you’ll get completely exhausted with finger cramps. You need to be able to think fast and act even faster in order to outsmart the countless invasion of evil monsters. Take the challenge and help Zak and Jack defend their Monster Town.

Atomic Cannon Review
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

Air Assault Review
Air Assault is a game that is really retro and really cool. This action-arcade helicopter shooter reminds me of the classic arcade shooters where you basically shoot at will to destroy everything in your path. Air Assault is very simple and easy to play, the only directions that are needed are given at the beginning of every game. You use the mouse to control the airplane, left click shoots bullets, and right click shoots missiles. I would recommend turning down the sensitivity of your mouse (if it is up too high) because the helicopter does fly around wherever you drag the mouse.
What makes the game interesting is the ten different types of power-ups that are provided. These include blue wrenches that fix your helicopter, blue shields that add strength to your hull, a yellow lightning that makes your guns more powerful, a yellow double gun that adds a second gun, orange rockets that add more rockets, purple squares that auto aim the guns, purple stealth bomber that gives you invisibility and a secret purple marker that you will have to play the game to find out what it does.
Gameplay is simple. Try to make it through the level as you destroy as many enemies and scenery (barracks, bridges, antennas, etc.) to gain as many points as possible. Like all arcade games, you have a certain amount of lives to make it through the level. You can see the damage to your helicopter in the lower left corner, as green means your ok and red means you are in bad shape. I thought this was a cool feature as most games like this would generally only have a gauge that calculates the amount of life. Air Assault tells you where and how bad certain parts of your aircraft are damaged. Just a neat little feature that enhances the game. Although I only played the demo, I thought it seemed a little easy, but I think it gets progressively harder as the game continues. Other than that, I had no other problems and give Air Assault four and a half stars out of five.
Features of Air Assault:
- Classic Arcade style Helicopter shooter
- 32 different enemy types
- 10 different upgrades

Star Defender 3 Review
The evolution of a space invade arcade game changes very little so why do they continue to make these plays? Because they are fun and you can see the improvements between the old arcade games and the present day video games. Look at Galaga and see the improvement and details in Warblade. Yes, the basic play is the same, the fun is the same but wait until you see the graphics, details and the sheer numbers of enemy aliens in Mac game Star Defender 3.
You are a rookie pilot sent to the outermost section of the galaxy known as Kenuriam. Everyone knows nothing good comes from that system. You are wary but take on this assignment for the good of planet Earth and mankind. You fight hard and furious against the 
invading alien Insectus race with your lone ship. They come at you in different waves of every formation known in outer space. Some move horizontally and vertically, while others will loop, stall, swoop and circle around the dark, starry sky in ominous patterns. They’ve also sent their biggest and baddest bosses to wipe you and earth out of the universe and beyond. Luckily there are power-ups galore and the weapons of mass destruction are available to you if 
you can catch them. They are missiles, mines, nuc bombs, 500 points, time and more to help aid you in your quest.
The game board is an overhead view of your space ship at the bottom of the screen. The never ending, spiraling enemy attackers will try to overcome your single ship and gain access to Earth. Be sure to post your highest score on the worldwide Hall of Fame.
Star Defender 3 may be similar to the old time arcade shooting games but with its fantastic graphics and more power-ups than you can imagine, the play is still intense, frantic, frenetic and just plain addictive. The only thing that will slow down your play is the hand cramps you get from shooting an infinite amount of alien devils.
Features of Star Defender 3:
-8 Huge Missions
-Progressive System of Bonuses
-Aliens to Blast

Swarm Gold Review
Swarm Gold is an outerspace action shooter that puts you in the pilots seat! Take your little space ship and try to collect all the EZT coins in your sector of the galaxy. When you have collected all the blue EZTs you can go to the exit portal, which allows you to continue on to the next level. Along the way, you encounter all types of obstacles which try and stop you from completing your mission. These include asteroids (large and small) and many different alien creatures. The creates you encounter range from the small and manageable Clag Scouts to the dangerous Clag Bots. It would be wise to avoid these aliens and especially look out for the Death Worms which is the most vicious, intelligent and deadly creature in the game.
There are four different levels of difficulty in the game (Kids Mode, Normal, Hard, and Insane). After you choose your difficulty, you can proceed on your campaign and begin playing the more than 100 different levels that Swarm Gold has to offer. In addition to the multitude of levels, there are all kinds of power-ups scattered throughout the game. These include shields, free lives and of course, weapons upgrades. The initial gun that comes on your ship is useful, but is also slow and needs time to hit the targets. You can find all kinds of other guns, like assault rifles, shotguns, autoguns, flamethrowers and mines that will aid you in defending your ship. Additionally the game has a multiplayer mode that allows for up to eight players. I am not sure exactly how this works but it seems like a cool idea and definitely is something that enhances the replayability of Swarm Gold.
Personally, I really liked this game. It was a simple point and click shooter, where shift propelled you into space. This was a cool idea but one should definitely use a mouse because the pad on a keyboard is a little cumbersome. I also had some difficultly avoiding asteroids, which pop up in inconvenient places. It is nice to have some obstacles, but when I am taking more damage from inanimate objects instead of the enemies, I think something needs to be changed. Maybe it was just because I wasn't using a mouse, but that was a big problem for me. What I did like was the blue and red cursors that pointed your ship in the correct direction. The blue cursor led my ship to the nearest EZT and eventually the exit portal. The red cursor was equally as helpful, as it pointed out an enemy that was near. Overall, this was a solid game and I would give it four out of five stars.
Features of Swarm Gold:
-Over 100 Levels
-Enemy Aliens
-Lots of Weapons
