I LOVE Miniature Golf, and Silver Putt uses a basic Miniature Golf for the design, and NAILS IT. You can create your own miniature golf course, the editor is a little clunky, but not too bad, and I sure as heck couldn’t do better. I

Vector Space Armada: Review
Another Silverlight based game at the excellent site: Mashooo Vector Space Armada, sounds good. The initial feeling was one of the 1980s and playing the vector games in an arcade. Then my mouse ran away from the screen and the little vector

Review of Terminator
Another silverlight based game at the excellent site: Mashooo The Terminator game had a good feel to it, and an excellent menu that blocks you from going to levels before you are trained, which is a good thing. The initial level felt like it could
