Engineering.com Games

Each game on this site could have its own separate review, but most of the ones played for this review were of good quality and generally thought-provoking. On the simpler side, JECT is a balls-and-obstacles game, like Pong for the new millennium with an Angry Birds-type slingshot thrown in. Cargo Bridge is a bridge-building engineering app with somewhat dubious connector qualities, but it's otherwise appealing and educational. On the character-driven end of things, Fractured is a platform-based game that seeks to reunite a lost boy with his mom, but it doesn't seem to ever load. Ninja Mushroom is a logic platformer based on a masked fungal dude who must avoid property-endowed obstacles to reach a golden stump, all in tune to a relaxing soundtrack. Knightfall 2 is a humorous, spoofy quest that starts with our unfortunate hero getting kicked out of his thatched-roof cottage by his "Princess" (wife) who then throws the game rule book at him. Battles are played out on rotatable Rubik's Cube-like puzzle boards with deadly rats, curing potions, and keys for exiting once the goal is reached. The beginning tutorial is too long, and the font is a bit hard to read, but otherwise it's entertaining. Although quality does vary a bit, the site is definitely worth checking out as most games have educational value.
