Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

Games are often thought to be a solitary affair, well this one certainly isn't, as your virtual life depends on it. You are in a room with a bomb that wouldn't look out of place in a Bond film. Luckily a friend of yours can print out the manual to defuse it. Most importantly though, they can’t see the bomb so you must work together to disarm it before it’s ‘bomb voyage’ for you both.

Kind Words

The misconception that video games are a waste of time still continues. In Kind Words you are in a virtual bedroom where you answer letters sent by other players about the problems they are having. You can decorate your letters with stickers that give you a toy to decorate your virtual room with. So that’s it really, but a kind word is all a person might need.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew

“Space, the final frontier”- a quote that seems as relevant today as it ever was. In Bridge Crew you and up to 3 other players take control of a Federation Starfleet ship. The 4 stations are Captain, Helm, Tactical or Engineering. Together you must run the ship and deal with whatever you come up against. You can choose between the USS Aegis NX-1787 or the Classic USS Enterprise NCC-1701 complete with colorful 60s decor and analogy buttons.
