Silverlight @ Miniclip.com

Zombomatic - Silverlight @ Miclip.com

Silverlight is now present at one of the most famous casual gaming websites: Miniclip.com. And it is a puzzle! Just my kind of game :)

It is just another version of that games where you must join some pipes to complete a path. Can be entertaining though. It is called Zombomatic.

Well thought Microsoft, a good way to make people aware of Silverlight. Although putting it in a Flash gaming website looks like a desperate measure to tell every one “we’re here! Silverlight can be like Flash”. Maybe in the future. Still hard to code, and no improvement from the user perspective when compared to Flash. I’m waiting for Silverlight 2.0 :)

Sam & Max - Abe Lincoln must die

Posted on 12:40pm 1/02/2008 by Bruno Silva in Funny, Games, Software

I’ve found an hilarious game which is part of a series of video games. This is the 4th episode, and unfortunetly it is the only one that is free :(

I’m talking about a point-and-click game (my favorite kind of game) where you must explore the scenarios and use objects to accomplish your objectives. The story and the dialogs between characters are very funny. They use a lot of the USA stereotypes in the argument.

I must say that I was stuck in the first minutes while playing (it is pretty hard), but it is worth using a walk through to follow the story.

I leave here some screenshots.
