Gemsweeper by Lobstersoft is a colorful puzzle game. I have to admit that at first my attention was drawn by the graphics and background design, which are very impressive. Then a tutorial started which vividly showed all the game rules and I felt comfortable playing within minutes.
But I think that it may have been a bit too long for a tutorial. The rules of the game are not really that difficult to understand.
The game board consists of cursed tiles and gems which are all faced down. A player needs to uncover the pattern made of gems and break the cursed tiles. There is always a numerical hint along the side and top for each row and column showing how many gems are in the line and you must find out where they are using this info.
It actually seemed very easy at first and I didn't think I would spend much time on this game. But the further I went the more difficult and challenging the levels became. At the beginning it was 5x5 tiles of rows and columns, later 5x7, 10x10 and then more and more. I even got Time Penalty for trying to open the cursed tiles several times, and by that time I knew the game was not as easy as it had seemed at first sight. If you get Time Penalty many times you can even lose a level and then you have to start all over again. So do not click on tiles randomly, you can smash a gem with a hammer!
But what is the game goal? It is in helping Topex, a mythical statue, reconstruct the temples of his hometown of El Dorado. And you travel from one lost city to another somewhere deep in jungle earning score points and treasure hunting ranks. One thing which definitely should be mentioned is Professor McGuffog who helps you with the hints and rules and sometimes makes cheesy jokes. Also he can repair a smashed gem with the Magic glue for you (You can see how much magic glue is left - at the bottom of the game screen there are yellow pots).
Gemsweeper offers over 200 unique puzzles to solve which will definitely remind you about your childhood when you made your own puzzles in a puzzle board on a table or floor and not on a computer.
On the whole, I would say I had a lot of fun playing this particular game.

Best Games of the year 2005
In the year 2005 we noticed how a lot of games appeared on the market, games which sold well, and the big companies were bought by bigger ones, thus games with long history disappeared, but in the same time we noticed that some of the best games ever were released.
In the year 2005 we noticed how a lot of games appeared on the market, games which sold well, and the big companies were bought by bigger ones, thus games with long history disappeared, but in the same time we noticed that some of the best games ever were released.
The top of the Best Games of 2005, started to form on many sites at the end of the year, and at the beginning of year 2006. Fans gathered, and they voted the best games from all around the world.
The best game of this year came out to be Civilization 4, though it began spreading quite hardly on the market, and although it had some bugs, it continued to be considered the best game by most of the gaming sites having no 1 in top of the Best Games of The Year. Continuing with other games and moving to the FPS genre, where Call of Duty 2 became the best, having a huge impact in the gamers' community, appearing on many dedicated servers. We can also consider Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to be by far the best action – adventure game of 2005, with an excellent story line, world and graphics.
In the Role Playing Games' domain, the best game is considered by most magazines to be Dungeon Siege 2 and the best MMORPG, surprisingly, not World of Warcraft as you would have expected, but Guild Wars, a game you should play if you never did. It didn`t have the same advertising advantages of World of Warcraft, but in some points of view it is better than it. Age of Empires 3, a game with an excellent continuity, leads the Real Time Strategy section. This time action does not take place in the age of ancient empires, but in the age of the colonial empires of America. Graphics and sound are excellent, and so is the game play, we notice how Microsoft learned from previous versions.
Best racing game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, because of its superb graphics, which attracted more and more fans, making it one of the most popular racing games. Best Simulator is considered to be Silent Hunter 3, which beats, by far other simulators on the market. An advice for those who didn`t play these games, is to buy and play them. Any game deserves a little attention, but when we come to those that are in the top of the best games, we recommend that you should not miss the chance and play them.
