Balloons threaten monkeys, and you coordinate their defence.
I’m big on tower defence games, and this is a very good one.
The Flash version is liked. The Steam version is disliked. Maybe the more adult multiplay on the Steam version would make it worth some money, but not at its price.

A great MMORPG with spectacular mechanics but no endgame.
I had a lot of fun with it way back when, but my most recent visit had me wandering around in circles for an inexcusable length of time. An utter failure. Still highly recommended.
I still have more offline notes I have to clean up and upload..

A MMO whose defining qualities are its maturity, user base and low system-requirements.
Recently focusing entirely on endgame, to the detriment of all earlier content. Instead of improving the game in measurable ways, its developers use desperate psychology to string along its user base. DO NOT PLAY unless you’re already playing. Then DO NOT STOP.
Once anything comes along that’s decent, haul ass and bring everyone with you. Consider, for example, Guild Wars 2 – (2012 game).

A fine tactics game.

This is a generally crappy game. Several elements of gameplay are annoying, or take too many clicks or whatever. Sigh.

todo – make a proper page
A particularly good scroll-and-slay type game. Pseudo-rpg, with character improvements via weapons and equipment.
Decent game. Has a fair amount of complexity but it’s manageable. The camera controls somehow don’t work for me. A bit repetitive until you get into things properly.. and then it’s fun.. repetitive but fun. Crap-assed ending.
