Slay is a strategy turn based game based upon a hexagonal board. It is increadibly simple in its play and I have been playing it for nearly FIVE YEARS... That classifies any game as addictive.
It has won a number of awards and if nothing else is worth buying as a stand alone game.
However, I would recommend buying the "Everything Windows" package for $40. Sean updates his games and adds new ones all the time. When he adds a new game to the "Everything Windows" package existing customers get the upgrade for get this... FREE! You cannot beat that price long-term. Download the package and see if there aren't at least three games in there that you will play for years to come. I know I still am!

Just Another Video Game Reviewer Blog... Oh joy of joys!
There are thousands of Video Game Reviews out there. Why on earth am I starting another one? Because almost all of them DO NOT review the types of games that I play. If you are looking for the review of the latest XBOX game or other console game you are in the wrong spot! I do not own a console nor do I plan on buying one anytime soon. That is not to say I have a problem with these types of games it is simply that I do not play them very often.
I mostly play casual games available on the PC. Those are games that are not normally sold in big retail chains.
If I am playing the game it is addictive and it likely it is thought intensive or mindless arcade action. The key word there is addictive. Perhaps not on the initial glance, because I have one that I initially disliked because the trial version was unwinalbe [yes, that is not a "real" word, I know it and you know it; but who cares you know what it means and so do I so keep reading and stop critiquing my spelling... ;) ] and frustrating. That game is called Slay and it was created by the independent video game designer extraordinaire, Sean O'Conner. He has several titles by the way and I will discuss them all; some good some average and others that are just not my style... See my next post for details.
