Plinx Quickie.

This is a Public Service Announcement.

Portal, one of the best games ever, is now free to download on PC or Mac. I'm sure nearly everyone has played it now but if there is anyone out there who is still yet to experience its splendour, for god's sake get it now. It's free until September 20th so shake a leg.
Grab It Here.

On the 1st Day of PlinXmas!

Hey, so... Um, remember how I used to write this blog sometimes? Then remember how I didn't write it for about 6 weeks?
Yeah, I'm not sure how that happened, but it got harder and harder to write a new post because I felt like I'd need to explain why I had been away for so long and there isn't really a reason.
So I am coming back now, with a bang! I am resurrecting, not only the blog, but the PlinXmas Advent Calendar!



So yeah, after 6 weeks without a single update, I am going to furnish you with something fun to look at/listen to/play with/smell EVERY DAY from now until Christmas Eve.

Hopefully that'll coax you all back. Here goes:

In what must be one of the smartest opening gambits on record, I am going to use the first day of this online advent calendar to direct you to a different, much better online advent calendar! Truly, mine is the greatest strategic mind of all.

Anyway, this advent calendar is different. Each day is a small segment of a charming platform game starring a snowman called Chubby, and when you complete each 'level', you get free content from an assortment of indie games! Today for example, I got some wallpapers and avatars from a game called Chick, Chick, Boom. Sweet!

Play Mission In Snowdriftland!

Anyway, I'm back. Let me entertain you throughout the festive period.

What do you give a reindeer with an upset tummy?

ELKa Seltzer!

Freebies.

Evening. Something a little different today. Instead of providing you with links to web games, I've got a chance to get some full downloadable games for free. These are games that would normally cost a fair bit, and they're free if you download them before the end of the month. There are four games on offer, I've downloaded two of them and they're both ace. I'll give you a bit of info on these two if you need some incentive.

The first one is Azada. It's a puzzle game that was voted the best of it's kind on the Big Fish website. It's a series of puzzles that are represented as pages in a book that contains the spirit of an adventurer called Titus. I'm fully aware of how lame this sounds, by the way. The fact is that you don't need to pay any attention to the story, you can just go through the puzzles, unlocking more as you progress. There are many, many flavours of puzzle and the majority feel really good to solve. I've been playing for about a week now, it's compelling.

Secondly, there is Hidden Expedition: Everest. This is a game of the 'hidden object' genre. What this means is that you will be tasked with finding a series of objects that are skillfully blended into the scenery. Having played loads of one-hour demos of this kind of game, I can attest to the fact that they're really bloody addictive.

Anyways, if either of these (or either of the other two on offer here, 'Fairway Solitaire' and 'Spa Mania') take your fancy. Instructions on how to claim your free downloads are HERE.

This is a heck of a deal. If you go for it, enjoy!

Normal Plinx service will be resumed shortly.
