Raquet Sports Party

Wii - Ubisoft
Raquet Sports Party offers Tennis, Table Tennis, Badminton, Squash and Beach Tennis in various different game modes and locations, to keep swinging your Wiimote fresh for multiple gaming hours.
WiiMotion plus controllers can be used to increase realism and accuracy. Gameplay requires no button presses (once you are in a game swinging of the Wiimote is all that is needed). Different strokes can be used for advanced players e.g. lob, top spin, drop shot etc, but forehand, backhand and serve will cover most shots.

Plasma Tree
By BillGameBase
PC (opens in a browser) - mhepekka
A lovely touchscreen (or any other pointer method) activity, requiring minimal input. Touch the screen (or left click when using a cursor) to start a new tree shoot growing. Fill up the screen with as many or as few as you like.
Due to the open nature of the activity and lack of any sort of time element, it lends itself well to pointer control and selection practice.

Music Catch 2
By BillGameBase
PC (opens in a browser) - Reflexive Entertainment
Music Catch 2 retains the simplicity (sound, graphics and gameplay) which made the original so appealing, whilst adding new songs, levels and a few subtle new features.
The aim, as before, is to move your target around the playing area, collecting as many of the shapes which appear as possible, whilst avoiding the red ones. Each level last the length of a song (which impacts on the frequency that the shapes are released). You will progress the level no matter how few points you gain. After each level you will unlock new songs, shapes, patterns and motions from which you can create your own levels. Your progress will be retained next time you visit the site.

Shoot 1UP
By One Switch
Xbox 360 - Mommy's Best Games (80 points Xbox Live Indie Arcade)
Bullet-hell shooter Shoot 1UP is a ferocious one or two player Xbox 360 game. It has some slightly saucy graphics, great game play and stonkingly good accessibility features.
The aim of the game is pretty basic: Blow up enemies, collect power-ups to get more powerful, avoid enemies and their bullets, score high. That's about the size of it, played against imaginative backgrounds and frenetic music. Rowdy!

JazzBall
By One Switch
PC Windows - Graeme's Free Games (freeware)
JazzBall was written after a suggestion was made to us by Sandra Robertson. She wondered if the old Microsoft game JezzBall might suit a more accessible interface and could perhaps become a fun game that both her children could play. Thanks to Graeme Singh taking up the challenge, they now can. Nice.
The aim of the game is to draw horizontal or vertical blocks across any available gaps, avoiding being hit by balls whilst you do so. If you manage to reach both sides of the gap without being hit, a section of a hidden picture will be revealed. Manage to reveal the majority of the screen and you'll progress to the next level. You can use your own pictures too, which can be immense fun.

Tig Duels: For Extraordinary Gentlemen and Such Etc.
By One Switch
PC Windows - Oxeye Games (freeware)
En Garde! "Tig Duels: For Extraordinary Gentlemen and Such Etc." is a wonderfully silly one-switch fencing game for two players.
You can tease your opponent, attack, retreat and block all using a single control. You can even play against people on-line. Such duels are initiated through a slightly more complex interface to get started, and involves slapping a glove across your chosen opponents face!
