Free Computer Game Recommendations

[Tom Saurus]

I think Pysol Solitaire is a good free game. I have it installed on all our computers. I works with every Windows OS, I have placed it. It offers a thousand different Solitaire Games and it is free. I have never encountered any spyware or adware and it is very light on using computer resources. Here is a link to where you read about it, and decide if you would like to put it on your computer system:

As always thought do give it and all other files a scan first for virus and such before installing.

I recently learned how to do Sudoku puzzles, actually from watching a YouTube video. Well anyway over at CNET, I found a Sudoku game that is quite nice for the computer. I caution you though, be careful with the installation as you could end up with Toolbars and other stuff that you don't want. Thankfully I was able to avoid that, I usually chose a custom install instead of full install because I want to know what all I am putting on my computer. The game is called "Sudoku Dream" and I find it quite entertaining. It is free, and if your careful it is spyware and adware free. Here is a link:

But as I mentioned above, be cautious and do a scan just in case. I chose grey as the background for the squares. There are lots of options, like different skill levels. You can have a blank grid and fill in numbers for a puzzle you found in a newspaper and put it the grid and ask the program to solve it for you in the event the answer wasn't included. A thing I really like, for some of the more difficult puzzles is the "Show/Hide Markup" option that is hidden in the Assist Tab. There are some puzzles if you were doing them by pencil that have several different number candidates for a particular box, and this can fill all this for you when you are playing this on the computer. You can save your games to continue later. For those who enjoy Sudoku this is a good program for your computer; I am sorry though that you have to be so careful during the install process, but that is the way things are sometimes.

If you have any suggestions or remarks please feel free to post them. I hope that these games entertain you and give you some enjoyment.

If anyone is serious about looking up games and stuff I'd recommend they check out ign.com or while its still around g4tv.com. Though x-play will be gone in the new year, . There should still be good game review sites out there. The game informer is the magazine that is associated with the game stop chain but I don't know what its direct online link is - probably can find it on gamestop.com.

I hope somebody here tried out those games. If nothing else those who are building a computer and installing the Operating System and software these two games which are free would be a nice addition. Though be wary of the CNET install process that you don't install stuff you don't want in the install process of Sudoku Dream.
