Elf Bowling 7 1/2 - The Final Insult




Hold on to your stockings! The elves are up to no good and Santa needs your help to show those crazy elves what the true meaning of "strike" is. It`s quirky, hilarious bowling fun just in time for the holiday season! Compete in a crazy bowling game with the elves - oh that naughty Santa - serving as the pins and providing their own special, colorful commentary. With just the flick of your mouse, bowl to get a spare or strike, winning trophies along the way.
  • Unique bowling lanes.
  • Quirky avatars and pins.
  • Creative power-ups.



    I have to say that this was one of the most unusual holiday games I've played this year, lol. Different modes of gameplay allow you to play against a friend, against the computer or try the story mode for a bowling adventure! The game play is rather easy, which is good as I was incredibly distracted by the Elves and their sarcastic comments, lol.

    The graphics are bright and cheery, the sound is alright and the commentary of the Elves is just hysterical. Overall, I thought this was a very cute addition to the list of holiday games available!

    I give this game a 6 out of 10!

    Mahjong Holidays

    Mahjong Holidays (2006)


    This game was released last year, but I wanted to put it up as its a great holiday Mahjong game that I own and enjoy a lot! I don't play Mahjong games all that often, but when I need a break from Diner Dash: Hometown Hero, I need something quiet and relaxing, lol.



    It's time to ring in the holidays with Mahjong Holidays 2006. Break out the eggnog, throw a log on the fire, and settle in for some real mahjong fun! This festive version of a classic game will delight everyone. With three gameplay modes to choose from, your holidays can last even longer.
    • Create custom boards.
    • Holiday art and music.
    • 34,000+ layouts.
    Truth is I'll play just about any game with a holiday theme.. but there are ones that I actually like! This is one of them. If you didn't grab it last year, you can get it now! ;)

    Carl the Caveman - Christmas Adventure

    Christmas Adventure

    Carl the Caveman wants to enjoy Christmas, but when he wakes up eager to open presents, madcap mushrooms are on a rampage and treasure chests are scattered across the prehistoric world he calls home. So he picks up his trusty hammer and sets out on an all-new holiday adventure. As in his first game, Carl must push rocks, smash boulders and avoid traps in order to reach the exit in 60 all-new levels.

    Dragons, Goblins and crazed Mushrooms will try to spoil Carl's Christmas celebration, but he can dispose of them by pushing boulders onto their heads. He'll also need to collect keys that open locked doors and use magical springs and teleporters to reach higher ground. It's a challenge, but at least Carl will be able to appreciate the beautiful 3D winter wonderland through which he'll travel. Santa has elves and reindeer to assist him during Christmas. Will you help Carl the Caveman?


    Adorable, funny and holiday themed, what more could you want? Although platform games aren't generally my favorite genre, I really liked this one - mainly for the graphics and overall theme of the game! It's very cute! Some of the levels were a lot more challenging than I thought they'd be, but it wasn't frustratingly hard at all. Even if platformers aren't your cup of tea, I think you'd enjoy the demo of this game! :)

    Full version features:
    Christmas visuals bursting with color
    Toe-tapping holiday music
    Two campaigns: Snow Challenge and Winter Trap!
    60 all-new levels to solve
    Free updates and technical support



    Expansion pack available!

    Although the winter holidays are over, Carl the Caveman's adventures continue in a new expansion pack! This time our primitive protagonist, Carl, needs your help pushing rocks, smashing crates and avoiding traps. Can you help him through 50 levels of arcade puzzle challenges?

    Dragons, Blue Goblins and Mad Mushrooms will do their best to prevent our hero from reaching his goal, but you can get rid of them by using a hammer and pushing boulders onto their heads. You'll also need to open locked doors and use teleporters to reach new areas. It's a challenge, but at least Carl will be able to appreciate the beautiful 3D winter wonderland through which he'll travel. Will you help Carl the Caveman to enjoy the final days of winter?

    Note: This is an add-on for Carl the Caveman: Christmas Adventures. To play it, you need to own version 1.2 or higher of the full, original game.
