Kenny's Adventure is a classical sample of an adventure game featuring walking, shooting and searching tasks in more than 60 levels and three worlds. The game uncovers a story of a boy who has set off on a journey to find the lost crystal his grandfather told him about. A player's task is to travel undersea, collect artifacts and fight enemies in order to finally find the lost crystal that brings luck to his owner. 

In terms of so-called micromanagement, or restaurant games, 2006 was even more fruitful. Many developers produced a number of diner-dash-like titles based on the same scheme: they created new graphics and characters, while game play basics remained untouched. A title character (yep, that's a rare type of casual games with a live character!) is to accept and fulfill customers' orders to make customers happy at a time limit.

Archipelago is a challenging match-3 game from CTXM. You are to pop the required number of cubes at each level to save the invaded islands of Archipelago. Pop the cubes as well as you can to get more then 20 awards. The game can be played in two modes: Quest and Arcade. The beautifully-rendered graphics of the game is what makes it a stand out from the rest of puzzles and arcades.

Mirror Mixup - picture puzzle from Ip Eye Games. You are to flip the parts of the picture to make the whole one. There are 4 modes in the game: Mixup Mode, Custom Play, Memory Quest, and Impossible Mode. Almost every level of the game is a challenging one. There's no time limit, so you have tons of time to find the ways to deal with the task. The UNDO button is a very helpful one. Mirror Mixup is a highly polished puzzle game that would be a great challenge for nearly everyone.

Time to review the most dynamic and crazy-paced games that make your brain and fingers work. We're talking about arcade games. Compared to puzzles and strategies, arcade games have not seen such a great boom in 2006. Just like a year ago, in the latest Luxor you would create color matches of multicolored balls and smash them. Yet game graphics, ingame physics have seen tremendous changes. So, why not gazing at the best of arcades and seeing what was new about these games in 2006?
