Go is an ancient board game that originated in China about two thousand years ago, which has only recently become quite popular in the West. Like chess, it's got a few simple rules, but involves a lot of strategy and planning.

With iGoWin you can now play Go on your PC against a computer-controlled opponent. The game starts with a new game right after launch – no introduction or tutorials - so if you are a newcomer to Go you may feel a bit lost. Luckily iGoWin is thoroughly documented. The Help section includes all the rules you need to know to play the game and even some basic questions to make sure you understand them.

iGoWin doesn't require installation and is the kind of simple, straightforward game that's perfectly suitable for a short break from work. I still miss being able to play against another human opponent though, which always makes gaming a lot more fun.

If you're looking for something different to play during your coffee break, give iGoWin a try.

The game has a visual style that perfectly combines realism and playability. The result is one of the best looking Mahjong games available, and it's a joy to play!

As a kid, I used to love playing Monopoly with friends and family. Its combination of classic board-game fun and cut-throat boardroom capitalism made it the perfect accompaniment to growing up in 1980's Britain. So when I had the chance to test Monopoly Here & Now, I leaped at the opportunity to revisit my old haunts: Bond Street, Mayfair and Marylebone.

Monopoly Here & Now is an updated edition of the popular classic, featuring the same reliable gameplay and board, with updated locations, utilities and situations. For example, the likes of "Go back to Old Kent Road" in the London edition have disappeared, to be replaced with problems surrounding credit card bills, legal fees and trust funds. Naturally, the amount of money dealt with at every stage in the game is quite different too: you can't buy a property for $60 like in the old days.

The design of the game is immediately familiar, but includes numerous new elements such as animated characters and pieces. Actually, the animations start to become slightly annoying after about five minutes (and you can't deactivate them in the options menu). The music and sound effects which permeate the game can be deactivated, which is lucky because they're irritating after about five seconds. Elements of the game like mortgaging and auctions are fairly well implemented, though I was surprised that whenever the computer made a move, the alert window still read "Click on a property you would like to mortgage", making me think I had to do something.

What worried me most about Monopoly Here & Now was the atrociously bad luck I seemed to suffer while playing. I mean - going to jail five times in one game?! Also, it is rather difficult to steal from the bank if the bank is controlled by a computer.

In all seriousness, Monopoly Here & Now is a fun re-telling of the classic game. It is let down somewhat by its repetitive animations and sounds but it'll probably prove more attractive to children who might not understand the use of Fenchurch Street Station or Baltic Street, for that matter.

An amusing, fun new edition of a board game classic, let down only by its sound effects and music. Ideal for families.

Having become addicted to the Scrabalicious Facebook app, I'm now somewhat of an expert when it comes to playing board games over the Internet. Net Dominó is almost as addictive as the word game and if you've always loved seeing spots in front of your eyes then you'll be chuffed that you downloaded it. Although the graphics and sound are very simplisitc, the playing possibilities are immense.

The game allows you to pit your wits against friends (or total strangers) online, using your cunning and guile to lay down your pieces at the right time. One of my favourite features of Net Dominó though is the option for creating 'bots,' computerised players which can be customised to give them different difficulty settings. This is a great tool for training in the ancient art of dominoes and will give you a better chance of kicking butt when it comes to hooking up with your buddies online.
