By BillGameBase
31-01-2012 | Huizen,
The Netherlands
The Nintendo wii game
The Explorer and the Mystery of the Diamond Scarab is available.
For the first time, children with and without visual impairment
can play together on an equal level. In addition to the positive
effect of playing unhindered with peers on the same level, this
game also contributes to improving motoric functions and physical
coordination. Royal Dutch Visio announced the game on March 25th
2011. Due to delay in the process of approval it was not
available sooner.
Pony Club Races
By BillGameBase
PC (opens in a browser)
There are ten levels to play against the clock in this Lego inspired one button (space) horse jumping game. Each level gets slightly harder with more or bigger jumps. Once you have selected your rider at the beginning of the game using the mouse you can then navigate and play the game using just the space bar.
Timing is key. However, if you miss time your jump and land on a fence or don't even leave the ground you will be able to continue without any penalty (except losing some seconds on the clock) and try the jump again. If you complete the course within the time you can press space to try the next level. If you don't succeed, press space to retry it.

Football Manager 12
By BillGameBase
PC - Sports Interactive/SEGA
Football Manager is a strategy game in which you are challenged to put your football theories and strategies to the test and take charge of the team of your choice and lead them to the top.
Football Manager 12 keeps up with the recent shift in direction of the franchise to make the game more accessible to those who may be less familier with the games or new to them entirely.
The interface consists of spreadsheet type layouts which can be tweaked and re-tweaked as much or as little as you like using cursor movement and single clicks. Most icons are small and some are very small, requiring accurate control of the cursor to interact with them. Some item dragging, such as moving players positions about, is used in the Tactics pages, but alternatives are available enabling gameplay to be entirly controlled using single clicks (see video below). In addition drop down menus do not require to be held open whilst you navigate them and scroll bars have up and down icons attached allowing you to scroll with individual clicks.
Deflektion
By BillGameBase
PC - GraemesFreeGames.com
Deflektion plays like a mix of the videogame 'Pong' and Air Hockey as you aim to hit your opposition players back board for 1 point or goal for 3 points. The first to reach 20 points wins.
Gameplay and menu navigation both require the use of just one button, key or switch to play. To change your paddles direction of movement from left to right or right to left press either the space bar, left mouse button or use a switch programmed to one of the previous two options.
