Gametap Thursday: Tube-It on the Futoshiki Shadowgrounds ... or something
GameTap delivers a sprinkle of random titles this week for subscribers. The two puzzle offerings, Futoshiki and Tube-it, are there if you need them, but the most enjoyment will probably come from Shadowgrounds. The basic gameplay of Shadowgrounds consists of running around and shooting things like Gauntlet in space -- and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
Futoshiki (Windows) - Another Japanese number filling game like Sudoku or Kakuro. Yes, yes, both those games were originally American, but you get the point.
Shadowgrounds (Windows) - A competent action game that has you blasting some aliens and generally having a good time.
Tube-It (Arcade) - The forefather to the BioShock hacking game. Connect the colors through tubes from one side of the screen to the other.
After the break is GameTap's list of free games, with Commandos 3: Destination Berlin being this week's new offering. With the money you save, you could do something in honor of Berlin ... like buying a currywurst. If you can't find one, make it yourself.
