SLACKERJACK – Scenic
By Stuart Heritage on Thursday, November 27, 2008 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Scenic Oh, now this is more like it. This is as close to glorious as we think an online game can legally get. It's Scenic, and it's wonderful.
Scenic is a racing game that caught our eye for a number of reasons. Firstly Scenic just looks amazing - rich and deep and professional. Secondly there's the control system - by steering ...

SLACKERJACK – Flipside And now for a game with a name we don't like to say out loud because it sounds like American slang and we're British and don't want to end up sounding like the boy from the McCain Oven Chips adverts from a decade ago. Anyway. Flipside.
Despite the slightly cringeworthy name, Flipside is actually a smart little racer that takes ...

SLACKERJACK – Jelly Towers If we try and explain Jelly Towers to you, you might think that we've overdosed on cough medicine, taken a knock to the head and been struck down with night terrors. It's berserk. But here goes.
In Jelly Towers it's your duty to feed the Jydra some jelly. Not any jelly - the jelly must be exactly the size ...
SLACKERJACK – Zilch
By Stuart Heritage on Monday, November 24, 2008 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Zilch Zilch is that rarest of games - a near-impenetrable dice game that nobody can stop playing. Explaining the rules of Zilch would probably take up the entire internet, so here's the main thrust.
You have a bunch of dice and you throw them. Depending on the combination, you get points. You can bank some of the dice and throw the ...

SLACKERJACK – Chargeball You know what we haven't featured on here for a while? A transparent rip-off of a classic game that's got a new name and hopes nobody notices.
So let's fix that problem now by introducing you to Chargeball. Which classic game does Chargeball rip off? Break Out, that's what. But Chargeball isn't without its charms - for instance, you control ...
SLACKERJACK – Storm The House 3

SLACKERJACK – Storm The House 3 We can't pretend we're experts at these Storm The House games - in fact we think we're coming to Storm The House 3 completely fresh. Which might explain why we're so blown away by it.
Storm The House 3 is basically a siege game - you're stuck inside a house picking off the ever-increasing number of weird ...
SLACKERJACK – Starshine 2
By Stuart Heritage on Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 12:00pm | No Comment
SLACKERJACK – Starshine 2 You may not remember the original Starshine, but if you do, you'll know it pretty much created the concept of games that look like they're for children but are actually harder than nanoscience.
And Starshine 2 picks up exactly where that one finished - you have to fire a glowing ball into a group of stars, and each star ...

SLACKERJACK: Incredibots Ever since we saw Rocky 4 for the first time, we've wanted a robot. But, you know, not a robot that looks like it'd come into your bedroom and kill you in your sleep like the robot from Rocky 4.
Incredibots goes some way to realising that dream for us. Imagine Incredibots as a sort of online Meccano set that lets ...
