GarageGames Reviews

Most people nowadays think of computer games as bloody, violent affairs, in which almost every task you must complete involves killing or destruction. This in turn discourages people who don't play games to try them out. The truth is that this is not the case, but it's hard to make a convincing argument. Thankfully, there are solutions at hand, one of which is GarageGames. A variety of simple yet entertaining titles awaits here, each designed as a fun way to waste a hour or two. We have picked out three nicely accessible titles that should provide you with some enjoyment.


Bridge Construction Set is an entertaining puzzle game. On each level, you will find a river over which you must build a bridge. This bridge not only has to stand up on its own but must also be able to support the weight of the vehicles that cross it when you test it out. Finding the right combination and arrangement of materials to create a viable bridge is a challenge, but your budget provides a limit on what you can do. The game can be difficult, but the feeling you get when completing a tougher puzzle is supremely satisfying.

Gish, quite weird name, very weird game.
Basically, you're a blob of gel. Your mission is to travel through the various levels, puzzles and mazes any way you can. Sticking to walls, jumping over enemies, sliming through small spaces and breaking floors. Gish is quite easy to control although doing a few things at once, eg. Moving, jumping then sticking to the roof, takes a bit of getting used to. The game is suitable for all age groups and will have anyone playing for hours. It's certainly worth a download, especially if you've never played a game like this before.

Marble Blast: Gold is a fun and easy to play game from GarageGames. The aim of the game is to lead your marble safely through the hazard strewn levels. The game gently builds up the difficulty and introduces new features such as power ups one by one so you never feel that the game is trying to swamp you with 101 things to do.
With about a hundred levels included you are guaranteed to be playing Marble Blast for a long time and you will feel compelled to keep returning just one more time. This game will certainly keep you entertained!


So there you have it. We at GarageGames believe that these three games in particular should provide gamers and non-gamers alike with plenty of entertainment at home, at school, or even at work, although we accept no responsibility for any glares you receive from your teacher or boss for playing instead of working! Even if these reviews haven't inspired you, we ask that you just take a few minutes to try the games out. You may be pleasantly surprised with them! We hope that you'll visit our website at
www.garagegames.com some time in the near future.
