undeadcow: How are the Grotesque Tactics games?
I only played the first one.
Game play - it is good. It is a tactical RPG, can be compared to the types of FF Tactics and Fire emblem. Mechanically, the game is fine, and there are too few games like this on the PC.
The problem is that the story and the "humor". They are both atrocious. I like this types of games quite a lot, but the story actually put me off playing further than a few maps in. Seeing that it was not getting any better, I uninstalled it. It is a shame, though, as I actually enjoyed the mechanics of it.
Leroux: Hm, I already have Scratches and the other ones don't really interest me, except Chains, maybe. What's good about it?
Chains? It depends. It is just a little falling block puzzler type of game, but it is fairly competent for what it is. If you like this types, then it is OK, if you do not then stay away. It is one of those games you potter about a bit in for 1/2 hour now and then if you need to fill in some time. It is based on color, and it tries to be varied with the screens. I like it for what it is, but don't expect anything grand or groundbreaking. See the video on the Groupees page, and you see all there is to it.
Though, sometimes I like a simple little game like this to relax with, and as such it is not bad at all.
