The Geekwad: Games of the Galaxy

The Geekwad: Games of the Galaxy is a collection of bizarre mini-games aimed squarely at players who enjoy their arcade action with a generous helping of nonsense. Rather than building one enormous adventure, it throws together a variety of short challenges, each with its own rules and sense of humor. The result feels like somebody emptied a drawer full of strange game ideas onto the desk and decided to publish the whole thing. The presentation is colorful and playful, while the gameplay switches between different styles often enough to prevent boredom. Some challenges are immediately entertaining; others require a little experimentation before their appeal becomes obvious. That inconsistency is actually part of the charm. This is not a serious simulation or a grand role-playing epic. It is a wonderfully odd collection designed to keep you amused, preferably while your dignity slowly disappears during the more ridiculous mini-games.
