Today we have updates so far from Abandonia which has added Bubble Ghost. DOSgames Online added four games. Abandoneer has added Ultima II: revenge of the enchantress. Finally, both Noodan Free Games and Abandoned Gamesroom added three games a piece.

I went out the other day to get the new Sid Meier's Pirates! Xbox game. For some reason I missed the PC release that came out approximately a year ago. For those of you who have not played it - I highly recommend the title. I personally don't really follow the missions, I just cruise around the sea capturing enemy vessels and all their loot. It's a great way to pass some time.

While I was picking it up at the store I also grabbed a copy of the old CSI game thinking - I love the show, the game will be great! It turns out that there was a reason they were practically giving it away - the game is awful. The "game" basically involves going into an environment and moving the mouse around until it turns green showing that you can interact with something. You then collect the evidence and turn it into the lab for processing - and they do most of the work for you. Based upon the evidence that you "found" you can then request warrants and bring people in for interogations. Some of the biggest problems I had with the game is that it was so linear. As a Criminal Justice major I look at the crime scene in the game and immediately start thinking about what I would do in that scene - but naturally the game won't let me dust for prints or look for other trace evidence in an area the designers didn't determine to put any.
