Rapid Reflex Game Review

Michio Kaku said, "The human brain has 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10 thousand other neurons. Sitting on your shoulders is the most complicated object in the known universe." I think a close second is the United States federal tax code. Seriously, it's a mess. However, if given enough time and study, even the most complex can become simplistic. Ironically, the most simplistic can become exceedingly complex if no time is allowed for the human brain to think it through. In this game, you'll be asked to do something very simple very quickly. Expect a challenge.

Arena Gladiators Game Review

You are the owner and trainer of gladiators. You have fought in the arena yourself, killed and survived. You were awarded your freedom and your future.

Fish to Fish Game Review

Milton Berle said, "If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?" And why do I have no hair on my head, for that matter?

We adapt to overcome and to move forward. In this game, you will transform one fish into another, but be fast!

EquiLogic Game Review

In this Puzzle game, logical thinking and simple math is all that's required, but that doesn't mean it's an easy challenge.

In Review: Father Geek’s Monthly Newsletter (May 2014)

Another month has slipped by like a ninja in the night...or a ship...or a ship full of ninjas. It's May and that means Spring in Southern Minnesota is "kind of" here. Last year, we had one bugger of a snowstorm in May that took down trees and had many people questioning their decision to live in the upper Midwest. Throwing caution to the wind, as it were, everyone in Minnesota is now wearing shorts. Temperature be damned...
