| The Ball | Tripwire Interactive (Teotl Studios) | 2010 | A clever puzzle/action-adventure game with heavy emphasis on puzzling and combat using the titular ball. The story is obviously slapped on top as beyond finding the ball, why the protagonist keeps going for miles and miles underground, dropping down immensely deep chutes with no way back and so forth is beyond comprehension and the initial curiosity one can blame on him being archeologist hardly explains why he doesn't just study what he finds and stick around the hole he fell in through to wait for the promised rescue (which he seemingly could've relied on quite easily). Ergo, if you want story, this is definitely not for you, if you want puzzles and different kind of combat on the other hand...***[b]Minimum:[/b] * Windows XP, Vista or 7 * 3 GHz CPU * 1 GB RAM * GeForce 6800 GPU * 1.5 GB HD space [b]Recommended:[/b] * Dual-core CPU * 2 GB RAM * GeForce 8800 GPU***[media=youtube]caIYXaKp-qo[/media]***[b]The Puzzles[/b] * [b]First Person[/b] – Playing from a first person perspective, you solve puzzles with the help of a large physics driven ball. * [b]Ancient Weapon[/b] – Use the ancient weapon to attract the Ball towards you, or use it to hammer the Ball toward objects and enemies. * [b]Obstacles[/b] – Push the Ball into areas you cannot enter and use it to help you survive the many traps and hazards.
