Animated Bounce
Animated Bounce is a game similar to Blobby Volley - but nowhere near as good. It's missing the charisma and finesse that made Blobby Volley so...average (; that game is way overrated :P). One of it's most painfully obvious shortcomings of Animated Bounce is its lack of mouse control, making moving around your side of the court tediously slow. And, unlike the roofless, free Blobby Volley stage, the ceiling in AB serves as a burdening entrapment for the ball. Yet another difficulty I had with AB was the awkward physics. At times the ball would barely go above your head - and at other times it would skyrocket to the roof; and I'm talking about being hit at the very same velocity at the very same place. The ball also moved relatively slow, making the gameplay monotonous. And, as the mustard on this anchove and peanutbutter pie (okay, it's not that bad, but still), the graphics are only slightly above average.
With just a few tweaks here and there, this game could be great. But, as it stands (and especially when compared to Blobby Volley), there's far too many flaws for this to be considered "worth the download" for anybody but die-hard Blobby Volley fans.
Note: Though I fully support my review, numerous people have told me that they love this game (even before this review was posted). Opinions do differ, and I have this itching feeling that some of you will disagree with my review. I'm just reminding you that my review doesn't necessarily reflect those of the general public.

Aurora Dibularos
In Aurora Dibularos, you drive a hovercraft. Your goal to achieve a high score by avoiding the obstacles while collecting the stars. Each star is worth 1 point and will restore fuel. The graphics and sounds in this game give it a nice feel. This game lacks the array of power-ups, enemies, and secrets found in most similar games. However, it is still an enjoyable game.
Big Bumpz
I believe that I am about to enter the world records as the first person in history to use the words 'charming' and 'backyard wrestling' in the same sentence: Big Bumpz is a charming game in which you must take your character from the gritty backyard wrestling world all the way to the championship gold. Doing so is no easy task (duh). As any pro will tell you (and in this game, they will tell you), making it in the wrestling universe is no easy task. To quote one of your character's lines from the game, "It takes hard work and courage to be a wrestler". By hard work and courage he must mean 'doing flying headbutts off sky-scrapers and leg-drops through glass windows off roofs'. If you grinned sardonically while pushing your 'friend' down the steps in Stair Dismount (available on Gamehippo), then you will cackle maniacally when you play Big Bumpz. Let me make one thing clear right now so that some of you don't get disappointed when you actually boot up and start playing the game: There is no actual wrestling is Big Bumpz. By that I mean that you shouldn't come in expecting unleash an array of suplexes and piledrivers on your opponent, because there is no opponent. The entire game revolves around you 'proving yourself' by doing insane stunts. Wrestling matches consist of you having your 'opponent' to use as an additional obstacle. Although I waas skeptical at first, Big Bumpz manages to pull this off because of a multitude of factors. First, Big Bumpz does not try to pretend that wrestling is real. All of the matches are admittedly staged, so having the other guy stand there while you drag him around and throw a table and a ladder on top of him does not seem so awkward; secondly, the game manages to twist around the goals variation enough so that you hardly ever actually realize that all you're doing level after level is basically the same thing with only a slight alteration; and thirdly, lastly, and certainly not leastly, is the storyline. Sure the basic story may be a simple 'start-from-the-bottom-and-work-your-way-up-by-sweat-and-sprains, but for some reason it really appealed to me. Perhaps it was because of the funny dialogue, or maybe it was the so-stupid-he's-loveable main character, but the story really did something to get me to push through the entire game.
Now down to the technical stuff. Graphically, Big Bumpz gets the job done with some nice, if not particularly impressive, clean 3D graphics. It basically looks like a very early Playstation game, maybe a bit worse in some respects. The camera can be pretty annoying at times, but there are quite a few angles, so you can easily fix it if it centers itself in an inconvenient spot (with the number keys). The controls while walking are strange, and sometimes the character starts moving in a seemingly unrelated direction to the button you are pressing. However, considering that sudden movements and reflexes are not very important in this game, the controls are really not a problem. There is fair amount of object clipping, but you can actually figure out ways to use this to your advantage (think piling tons of objects on top of each other for huge scores). One really nice graphical touch that I liked was your character showing damage as he gets more and more injured.
The sound in BB is certainly better than average, but nothing to write home about, to be sure.
Bottom line: Big Bumpz is a one-of-a-kind game. Certain people will definitely enjoy it more than others, but everyone should give it a shot. It may take a little while to get the hang of, but once you do you'll ralize how fun it is. I found it best when played for 15 minutes at a shot, on and off.
PC REQUIREMENTS: 3D card and Direct X7. Strong processor recommended.
Booger Bungee
Booger Bungee is a whacky bungee jump game. You score depending on how artistic your jump is. Some easy tricks are stretch, bend and twist. For higher score you need to master tricks like "Big Poppa", "Supafly" and "Santa".

Bowling Game
This is a decent bowling game. It has nice graphics and sounds sort of realistic. This game allows up to 2 players. Single play causes the computer to join in. Unfortunately, the author chose to make up his own variation on the scoring system. He explains that trying to figure out how to use the real ten-pin bowling system gave him a headache.
