I am curious if anyone has any suggestions for relatively low powered "Break" type games, preferably ones I can get cheap through amazon. It is nice when you are working on something and want to stop for a while.

I presently have Hoyle Board Games and of course the standard stuff with windows.....suggestions for others

World of Goo!

Defcon!

Starscape!

You can find some fun Risk clones out there if you look - the unofficial ones like Turborisk have AI that doesn't suck, but you have to do some googling to get a hold of them.

Soldat is a good cheap multiplayer action game that some people really, really hate and others really, really love. But you can jump into quick deathmatch, bang out a round in two minutes, and go back to work, and it runs on just about anything made by man.

You can try Crimsonland, N or Hell Fighter if you hate your fingers, but I personally have some fond memories of all three.

Dice Wars. It's fun, and it's free. Of course if you feel like dropping coin I'll echo Stark and recommend World of Goo as well.

Strange Adventures in Infinite Space & Weird Worlds (its successor) from digital-eel
Fun little space exploration game. Random events and some interesing mods gives it a good replay value.

Soldat. Easy to play, easy to mod, really badly coded too.

Soldat and Defcon of course.

Tee Worlds is another nice little sidescrolling deathmatch game. Sort of a combination of Kirby, Quake and Bionic Commando.

Depending on how easily you get frustrated, I would suggest N. Even I can only handle dying the first ten or so times on a level before close it in disgust. I generally start half an hour later.

Multiwinia is supposedly quite good. IIRC Stark has dropped the monies for it so maybe he can confirm.

So many memories of just slamming my fist on my desk because of that FUCKING game.

I almost finished it. But I won't go back, no.

It's hilarious. I almost tear my hair out in frustration and blood pressure jumps up, but for whatever reason I can't stop myself. The feeling of finishing of THOSE levels is practically orgasmic.
