   <title><![CDATA[Bad Piggies 1.2.0]]></title>
   <link>http://bad-piggies.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Bad Piggies</strong> is a spin-off of the popular <taglink type="program" country="en" id="305373">Angry Birds </taglink>game. This time the pigs take center stage in a physics-based puzzle game that plays out very differently to Angry Birds.</p><p>The swines in Bad Piggies are on the hunt for eggs again. This time they're on a desert island and must construct vehicles to help them negotiate the mountains, caves and other hostile terrain. It's your job to help the piggies piece together their makeshift craft to guide them through each level.</p><p>There are 60 levels in Bad Piggies, set in the same format as Angry Birds (i.e. you need to complete a level and try to get three stars in order to progress to the next). At the start of each level you're given various materials with which to construct a vehicle. These objects include crates, wheels, umbrellas, fans, and TNT.</p><p>The idea of Bad Piggies is to make the construction at the top of the hill, then release the vehicle towards the goal line. As it flies down the hill you can use the objects you attached to help manipulate the craft and guide the pigs to the stars and ultimately to the goal.</p><p>Bad Piggies is a completely different challenge to Angry Birds. The hit-and-miss approach of the catapults has gone and instead Bad Piggies requires more mechanical thinking. This in turn makes the game less appealing for some. You can no longer just turn on the game and start wildly flinging your fingers around.</p><p>Bad Piggies is more of a labored process of working out what materials you have and how to join them together to deal with the obstacles facing you and collect all the stars. Some would argue that the satisfaction you get out of Bad Piggies doesn't warrant all this brain energy.</p><p>Graphically, Bad Piggies is bright and colorful and in keeping with the Angry Birds style. There are fun cut scenes featuring the hapless piggies, and the music is chirpy and catchy.</p><p><strong>Bad Piggies is a challenging physics-based puzzle game, though it's often complex tasks may put some people off.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Bad Piggies 1.2.0" href="http://bad-piggies.en.softonic.com"><strong>Bad Piggies 1.2.0</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Angry Birds Star Wars 1.1.2]]></title>
   <link>http://angry-birds-star-wars.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Angry Birds Star Wars</strong> is an officially licensed Star Wars-themed game, which sees the famous birds meet characters from the movies, including Dath Vader, C3PO and R2D2.</p><p>It's a second trip into Space for the annoyed avians, following on the heals of <taglink type="program" country="en" id="3340125">Angry Birds Space</taglink>. Angry Birds Star Wars retains some of the Space physics of the previous release, and there are new <strong>special abilities</strong>, including the use of the force, and light saber-wielding.</p><p><strong>Presentation</strong></p><p>Fans of the original movie, <em>A New Hope</em>, will adore Angry Birds Star Wars. It follows the plot of the film, taking you to all the iconic locations, including <strong>Tatooine</strong>, <strong>Hoth</strong>, and the <strong>Pig Star</strong> (modeled on the Death Star). The Angry Birds are themed around the heroes such as <strong>Luke Skywalker</strong>, <strong>Obi Wan Kenobi </strong>and <strong>Han Solo</strong>, while the piggies dress up as stormtroopers, tuskan raiders and the like.</p><p>The locations and characters are gloriously recreated, and this, coupled with music from the original score, makes Angry Birds Star Wars the best presented version of the game series so far.</p><p><strong>Gameplay</strong></p><p>The basic gameplay in Angry Birds Star Wars is still the same as the original <taglink type="program" country="en" id="305373">Angry Birds</taglink>. You launch birds from a catapult at a structure in order to smash it and destroy the bad guys. Stars are earned based on how easily you achieve this, and progress to the next level.</p><p>There are some <strong>80 levels</strong> in Angry Birds Star Wars and getting through them will take you a long time, even though the first few levels on Tatooine are very easy. There are some fun <strong>bonus levels</strong> too, in which you can play as C3PO or R2D2.</p><p>The gameplay in Angry Birds Star Wars has been tweaked a bit from previous versions of the game. You can now use the force to slow down your bird in mid flight, or swipe your light saber to break objects, for example.</p><p><strong>Verdict</strong></p><p>Despite these interesting additional gameplay elements, there's no disguising that Angry Birds Star Wars plays very much the same as previous versions. While fans of the Angry Birds franchise will enjoy this, others will find the game repetitive, frustrating and tiresome.</p><p><strong>There's no doubt that Angry Birds Star Wars is a lavishly-produced arcade game, which fans of both the game and the movie will fall in love with.</strong></p><p><h3>If you enjoyed Angry Birds Star Wars HD perhaps you'd like to see some of the other <a title="" rel="nofollow" href="http://onsoftware.en.softonic.com/angry-birds-movie-tie-ins-wed-like-to-see">Angry Birds movie spin-offs </a>we could expect in the future (according to us!)</h3></p><p>Download <a title="Angry Birds Star Wars 1.1.2" href="http://angry-birds-star-wars.en.softonic.com"><strong>Angry Birds Star Wars 1.1.2</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <link>http://farm-frenzy-pcgames-en.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Farm Frenzy 2</strong> sees you assume the role of a budding farmer who starts with nothing and must build a successful business by managing lifestock and producing goods to export for money.</p><p>The game is set in a wonderfully colorful cartoon world with great sound effects and a cracking hillbilly-style soundtrack. If you've ever dreamed of moving to the country and living the simple life, then Farm Frenzy 2 might give you a taste of what you can expect.</p><p>Farm Frenzy 2 starts with you rearing a few chickens to produce some eggs and the levels progress to the point where you own bakeries, factories and keep cows, pigs and other animals. Each extra level adds one more thing to think about than the last, whether it's shipping products into town, flying resources in by plane, or caging and selling the pandas (?!) that prey on your animals. After a few levels the action in Farm Frenzy 2 can get pretty frantic.</p><p>Luckily, the controls in Farm Frenzy 2 are simple and largely require nothing more than pointing and clicking on a part of the screen you want to apply an action to (i.e. clicking the well to fill it up, clicking an egg to collect it, etc.)</p><p>After a while, Farm Frenzy 2 starts to get a little too difficult to keep up with and after playing a few levels your head gets a bit scrambled from all the fast-paced action, the infectious looping soundtrack and the sheer repetitive nature of the game.</p><p><strong>Farm Frenzy 2 is very well presented and great fun to play, although enjoyment quickly turns to frustration as the levels get more hectic.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Farm Frenzy 2.1" href="http://farm-frenzy-pcgames-en.en.softonic.com"><strong>Farm Frenzy 2.1</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Chaos on Deponia]]></title>
   <link>http://chaos-on-deponia.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Chaos on Deponia </strong>is a graphically beautiful point-and-click adventure full of humor and quite challenging puzzles.</p><p>The second game in a planned trilogy, Chaos on Deponia follows the exploits of Rufus fighting to save his scrapyard world of <strong>Deponia</strong>. The game has a beautifully drawn world, and characters are really well animated throughout. It's fully voice acted, and the whole script is stuffed with jokes.</p><p>The gameplay in Chaos on Deponia is the same point-and-click style that was popularized in the 90s. You move the story on by solving puzzles, which you solve by interacting with and combining various objects on screen. True to the genre, the backgrounds are largely static, while only characters are animated. You can highlight everything you can use in an area by hitting the space bar, which is very useful. Solving puzzles can sometimes feel very trial and error, instead of being logical. This is quite normal for point and click adventures, but it's still annoying.</p><p>The humor is constant in Chaos on Deponia. It's not the most complex humor, relying on slapstick and schoolyard techniques. After a while this can get tiresome, and Rufus, our hero, becomes hard to like. Hopefully in the next Deponia game, the writers will resist the temptation to put a joke in every line. Despite this, it's impossible not to be impressed with the detail and effort that's been put into Chaos on Deponia.</p><p><strong>Chaos on Deponia is a really well made point-and-click game. It's one of the best looking point and click games you'll play, and it's bigger and better than its <taglink type="program" country="en" id="3337149">prequel</taglink>.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="Chaos on Deponia" href="http://chaos-on-deponia.en.softonic.com"><strong>Chaos on Deponia</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

If you ever felt the secret desire of becoming a truck driver, now it's your chance: play Mad Truckers and make your dream come true!</p>
<p>This simple game will let you take the wheel of a large truck and go along the road completing every mission you're requested to. There's a total of 15 missions in which you'll have to deliver all kinds of goods to their correspondent destination. </p>
<p>The gameplay is so easy that it tends to get boring. Sound effects don't help either, although the music soundtrack is not that bad. In any case, Mac Truckers is fun for a while, allowing you to drive a huge truck and get over any obstacle on the road.</p><p>Download <a title="Mad Truckers 1.0" href="http://mad-truckers.en.softonic.com"><strong>Mad Truckers 1.0</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>Star Wars: The Old Republic</strong> is a massive multiplayer online role playing game from LucasArts and BioWare, giving you the chance to be the hero in a Star Wars Epic.</p><p><h3><strong>A new challenger</strong></h3></p><p>Many have tried and failed to beat <taglink type="program" country="en" id="323479">World of Warcraft</taglink> as the world's biggest MMORPG, but the might of the Star Wars franchise could make Star Wars: The Old Republic's rise inevitable. Will it offer a compelling enough story and gameplay to do justice to the name?</p><p><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5PAA4Dwdnaw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p><p><h3><strong>Be a Hero of the Republic or Empire</strong></h3></p><p>Set over 3000 years before the first movie, Star Wars: The Old Republic tells the story of a time where the Jedi and Sith are at war, alongside their respective Republic and Empire allies. The game promises that players will become a central part of that huge story. You will choose to side with the Jedi or Sith, and there is the usual RPG class system to suite different styles of play and personal development.</p><p><h3><strong>Boba Fett or Jar Jar Binks?</strong></h3></p><p>From gameplay we have seen, it looks like the gameplay is solid, with stylish graphics reminiscent of the colorful cartoon characters of World of Warcraft. It remains to be seen whether Star Wars: The Old Republic can recapture the magic of the first three movies, or will just be a fantasy mess draped in the lore of the Star Wars universe.</p><p>Download <a title="Star Wars: The Old Republic" href="http://star-wars-the-old-republic.en.softonic.com"><strong>Star Wars: The Old Republic</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[LEGO The Lord of the Rings]]></title>
   <link>http://lego-the-lord-of-the-rings.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>LEGO The Lord of the Rings</strong> continues the series of family friendly action puzzle games, after LEGO <taglink type="program" country="en" id="100599">Harry Potter</taglink>, Indiana Jones, <taglink type="program" country="en" id="3346888">Batman</taglink>, Star Wars and <taglink type="program" country="en" id="320388">Pirates of the Caribbean</taglink>.</p><p>This demo lets you play through 'Helm's Deep', where our heroes in the fortress of Hornburg are under attack from the forces of the Wizard Saruman.</p><p>What we expect from a LEGO game is a fun take on the source material, and that is what you get with LEGO The Lord of the Rings. The gameplay is similar to previous games, with simple action and puzzles to work through. The puzzles are better suited to kids, since they can be tedious for adults. The cut scenes are as charming as ever, although in this demo they do stick very closely to the scenes in the LOTR movies. The dark tone of Lord of the Rings isn't a perfect fit for LEGO's humor.</p><p>The graphics are excellent, as usual. The scene on the battlements, with the army of orcs spreading out into the distance below is epic to look at, and there is some excellent use of perspective that makes the action even more impressive. Like Batman, LEGO The Lord of the Rings uses voice acting instead of just the noises and expressions that the series started out with. However, the voices are good, and don't detract from the game. It is still the animations and expressions that give LEGO The Lord of the Rings its funniest jokes.</p><p><strong>LEGO The Lord of the Rings doesn't look like a major development for the LEGO series, but it's another polished action puzzle game that will amuse adults and children alike.</strong></p><p>Download <a title="LEGO The Lord of the Rings" href="http://lego-the-lord-of-the-rings.en.softonic.com"><strong>LEGO The Lord of the Rings</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>

   <title><![CDATA[Max Payne 3]]></title>
   <link>http://max-payne-3.en.softonic.com</link>
   <description><![CDATA[<p><strong>You can pre-order this game now, which is released on June 1st</strong><br /><strong>Max Payne 3</strong> is an action game, pure and simple. Rockstar's sequel to 2003's Max Payne 2 stays true to the series, while looking every bit the 2012 blockbuster we expect it to be.<br /><!--#read_more#--></p><p><h3><strong>Gameplay</strong></h3><br />Max Payne 3 sticks to its third person shooter heritage. Bullet time is an essential part once again, in your quest to survive tons of enemies and scenes full of bullets aimed squarely at you. There are three aim modes - Hard and soft lock, and free aim mode for the pros out there. Hard Lock sticks your reticule to targets and moves with them, while Soft Lock makes Max target the nearest enemy.</p><p>The intense shootouts are told through flashback, as Max recounts how his life has hit rock bottom in the city of São Paulo. Cut scenes flow flawlessly into the action, which makes Max Payne 3 really immersive. I hope we see more of this seamless action in <taglink type="program" country="en" id="3332270">GTA V</taglink> too.</p><p>The various multiplayer modes include the excellent 'Gang Wars' that plays out like a mini saga between two gangs. Bullet time is well integrated into multiplayer too, so that anyone in your line of sight is also switched into bullet time when activated.</p><p><h3><strong>Graphics and Sound</strong></h3><br />Max Payne 3 looks great. It's full of visual effects that add to the downtrodden feel of Max's tale, and the environments are beautifully brought to life. Rockstar don't disappoint when it comes to acting and voices, and Max Payne 3 is no exception. Max himself is cynically hilarious, and the soundtrack fits perfectly with the sound of bullets rattling around the favelas of São Paulo.</p><p>The multiplayer in Max Payne 3 means you'll be playing the game for a long time to come, but the single player campaign too offers some significant challenge. Even with Hard Lock, this game gets tough, but makes it all the more satisfying when you succeed.</p><p><h3><strong>Overall</strong></h3><br />Max Payne 3 is a worthy sequel, with great acting, plot and atmosphere. The action is challenging and brutal, but always fun enough to make you want to try again. It may not be as original or revolutionary as LA Noire, but Max Payne 3 is a much more accomplished game and an essential title for 2012.</p><p>Download <a title="Max Payne 3" href="http://max-payne-3.en.softonic.com"><strong>Max Payne 3</strong></a> in <a title="Free software downloads and reviews - Softonic" href="http://en.softonic.com/">Softonic</a></p>]]></description>
