Naughty Gym Class

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

Naughty Gym Class is the new game from Games2win.com; the game features the classic combo mechanic which made Naughty Classroom popular.

The game is set in a Gym class, this time around your target is Coach Rodder the hunky Gym teacher. He is making his rounds around the class it is up to you to get him to change in his various avatars and turn into different schoolgirl fantasies!

The game features a search and click mechanic; you have to find the right item and then use it at the right time to activate a combo. For example, using the pliers on the floor panel makes the coach change into a carpenter and makes the girls in class very happy. I don’t want to reveal all the combos in the game in this review, so that is just one example I am giving. Time is your biggest enemy in the game and finding all the items and using them correctly can be a challenge in the time allotted to you.

The game features subtle humour and this time around will appeal to the younger audiences also.

Bottomline – It is a great follow up to Naughty Classroom but lacks replay value. But if you have not played the Naughty games this one is a must try.

Assassinator

UGC or User Generated Content is the buzz word where casual games are concerned. Not to be left behind in the rat race, Games2win.com has recently launched Assassinator - a simple game where you get to play the role of a level creator.

The game has 7 normal levels in which you need to destroy marks placed before you to clear each level, the way to do this is simple - draw lines using your sword and then click on play to release the deadly weapon. The weapon rolls down the line killing enemies, if you make a mistake drawing the line there is an eraser available to you to start over again. The weapon moves like a ball once thrown and travels faster when thrown downwards. The game challenges you with interesting obstacles like walls and fire which provide interesting obstacles and help during levels.

The UGC part of the game kicks in when the user clicks on the create your level button, here you actually get to design your very own level using all the characters and objects from the game, in my opinion this is the most fun part of this game. Each level you create is saved for other users to play; you can also send your level to your friends and challenge them to complete your level. You can also select from 4 different sound tracks to add to your level

The game has a very simple tutorial which explaining how to create your own level, at first it seems tough but once you get the hang of it you will be creating your own levels in no time.

Perry the Perv is your classic pervert, who loves checking out women’s assets…A well endowed woman is Perry’s dream come true, be it plastic surgery or not!

Perry the Perv employs a simple mechanic, and it is extremely easy to play. The game has a lot of ‘fun’ factor to it, plus it keeps the player alert all throughout. As it is so absorbing, the game has good replay value.

The game features 4 levels and each one is in a different setting like a bus, a club etc, to make it even more interesting.

Dress-Up games are very popular with women; it is every girl’s fantasy to dress up in a Bridal outfit. Games2win let’s you do the same with their latest offering Make Me over – Wedding Edition.

The game takes off from Make me over at least where the ‘wear and tear’ meter is concerned, choose the right clothes and your meter will go green else it will stay red. The game features 4 levels and also adds in the groom for good measure so in all there are 8 levels.

A unique feature of the game is you can actually put henna on the female characters in the game. The characters in the game have different body types ranging from thin to fat so as to appeal to a large audience.

We all know that dress-up games are hugely popular…Trial and Terror is a game which combines dress up with a little out of the box thinking, add in a dash of urgency, and you have your very own disguise game with a twist!

The game has 4 levels in all. Every level covers a different setting in which the protagonist must disguise himself to get away from various sticky situations. The player finds himself in different settings such as a storeroom, a kitchen, a broom closet etc and must use the object around him to disguise himself…

The mechanic is a simple one, simply drag and drop the so-called clothes onto the protagonist, Jack, to disguise him in the given time limit. The player must be resourceful enough to figure out what elements he can use to disguise Jack. If the time runs out, then Jack is left to face the music…
Play Trial and Terror and learn how to be the master of disguise!
