&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;To Celebrate the United State’s Birthday and to help out during this Recession, we’ve decided to give away the Magic Toy Chest absolutely FREE!  That’s right.  Our family themed physics puzzle game is completely free thru July 5th, so tell your friends.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.graduategames.com/blog/the-magic-toy-chest-is-free-thru-july-5th.html" target="_blank" class="postlink"&gt;CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes it takes a little while to get the hang of a game and start to enjoy it.  The Magic Toy Chest is one of those games that doesn’t necessarily hook you in the first 30-60 minutes. That’s why it has received good reviews and a Bytten Gold Star Award, but hasn’t necessarily been selling up to its potential.  I just want more people to experience this homage to the incredible machine and hopefully nab some new followers and fans along the way for our next title.[/url]

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Lo and behold - the first fullscreen images from the current development version of &lt;a href="http://getmagi.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&amp;amp;t=305" target="_blank" class="postlink"&gt;ArcMagi&lt;/a&gt;! It's still a bit rough around the edges, and most of the spell icons are obviously placeholders, but there you go.

There's also a relaxing audio meditation for anyone too stressed out to play the game.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;After months of tweaking and expanding, Tribal Trouble 2 is ready to throw away its beta tag, but it will keep growing. Since the last release, two new connected quests have been added. Your urge to loot your rich neighbors ends up in an unexpected alliance that will bring you far away from home in search for great riches. The Hall has been updated further so it is now possible to see who is playing, and a new quick stat islands has been added, which pits you against an equal opponent on a random 1 vs. 1 island.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What's new:
&lt;br /&gt;
------------
&lt;br /&gt;
- New quest: Gone Looting.
&lt;br /&gt;
- New quest: Mines of Niflheim.
&lt;br /&gt;
- Quick start island in Hall.
&lt;br /&gt;
- Players playing a game are grayed out.
&lt;br /&gt;
- Timeout on waiting for players.
&lt;br /&gt;
- Pathfinder improved to allow movement over far distances.
&lt;br /&gt;
- Crash bug fixed on The Chant - part 2.
&lt;br /&gt;
- Prices reduced.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;The school is being invaded by aliens, and only the girls of the Science Club can save the day! Blast monsters in turn-based combat using science-themed superpowers like Big Bang (Physics) and Spam (Computers). Customise your characters when they gain levels to improve your favorite skills.

Travel through time and space, explore distant planets, and get home in time for supper! (Or at least breakfast.)

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Koonsolo is starting production on &lt;a href="http://www.koonsolo.com/news/?p=18" target="_blank" class="postlink"&gt;their next game&lt;/a&gt;, but as you might know this can costs a lot of money, especially for a small game developer.

Take control of the prototype &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Grapple Buggy&lt;/span&gt; piloted by Nova Commander &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Javeya&lt;/span&gt;, and her alien co-pilot Drozo to explore the newly discovered VALD-END 317. The distant planet seems to house massive amounts of &lt;span style="font-style: italic"&gt;Tetravaldisae&lt;/span&gt;, known to its harvesters as ‘Vald’. Used to create fuel for faster-than-light travel, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Vald&lt;/span&gt; is the single most valuable commodity in the known universe.

&lt;br /&gt;
The New Homeworld Armada and the Drozo Empire have formed a strained alliance to confirm these portentous readings sending the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Grapple Buggy&lt;/span&gt; and its team into action for the first time. Can the Drozo Empire be trusted? Has &lt;span style="font-weight: bold"&gt;Javeya&lt;/span&gt;’s government thrust her into a compromised situation? Will VALD-END thwart both species schemes?

&lt;span class="postbody"&gt;Reconstruction of the Viking Hall has started and the first updates are available. The map now shows how many players are on each island so you don't have to visit all islands to find out where the action is. It has also become possible to create your own rooms so it is always possible to play against the opponent you want. The gameplay has also been fine tuned be more fair.
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
What's new:
&lt;br /&gt;
------------
&lt;br /&gt;
Number of players on each island shown on the Hall map.
&lt;br /&gt;
Players can create their own rooms in the Hall.
&lt;br /&gt;
The Lur Blaster will no longer lose energy if he is stunned while playing a tune.
&lt;br /&gt;
Initial cease-fire period reduced in treasure games to avoid tower axemen rushing.
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
