Sudoku is a logic-based, combinatorial number-placement puzzle. In classic Sudoku, the objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called "boxes", "blocks", or "regions") contain all of the digits from 1 to 9. The puzzle setter provides a partially completed grid, which for a well-posed puzzle has a single solution.

Completed games are always an example of a Latin square, including an additional constraint on the contents of individual regions. For example, the same single integer may not appear twice in the same row, column, or any of the nine 3×3 sub-regions of the 9×9 playing board.

This is your last chance to grab the latest Epic game freebie (which ends this afternoon 1st Oct 4pm UK time) Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: The Complete Edition. It's actually a re-hash of Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Platinum Edition released over a decade ago, which was removed from sale two years ago when a dispute between Atari and the developer went legal. The latest iteration has support for 1929 x 1080 displays and wide screen, otherwise it's the same game. Later this afternoon we get a dystopian adventure game called Pikuniku.

Windows XP is claimed as a supported system, but it is wrong. The installer does work under Win XP, but the game does not.

I thought this would be great, so downloaded it.

I had a go at playing but, well, all you can do is click through the numbers until the correct one shows green. There's no real challenge and no real effort.

The background is also intensely annoying, also the music.

So, for the first time ever with a game I've downloaded from here, I uninstalled after only a few minutes.

It now seems that all your games and programs are being blocked by Google Chrome saying "can't be downloaded securely". I have concerns when a file that downloads is stopped let alone when my antivirus stops me from installing a file. Please let me know what's going on because I will not download a program that is stopped by any virus, malware program.

Anthony Cavalieri,

Hello Anthony,

The game giveaway team have never given away a game infected with malware since the game side of the project started early December 2006. There has be over two thousand games given away since then.

Most of the weekend games now come from sites like MyPlayCity and TooMky Games, though we also occasionally get limited giveaways with Steam keys (e.g. big name games like Conan Exiles and Warhammer 40000: Vermintide 1 & 2, The Last Roman Village, Fallen ~Makina and the City of Ruins~ & Immortal: Unchained to name a few). These employ low level adware (not the Steam games) so that they can pay the developers of the games money for allowing them to give the games away for free. This adware isn't malware and is never installed to your system. It is self contained within the games installed folder. Most of the games we get via these sites have had some of the adware removed. The weekday games used to include the Falcoware installer which also included low level adware and also didn't install this adware to your system. The Falcoware installer has recently been removed from the giveaway versions making it free of adware.

The adware that is present in the weekend games is probably being detected by your security which then blocks the installation. Also present in the weekend games is a Themida wrapper, which is more likely the culprit that is causing your security to block the download or installation because Themida code can also be used to hide real malware.

Simple download and install. Background music is occasionally entertaining, but often distractingly irrelevant. However! the background psychedelic display is irritatingly distracting--or maybe that's part of the game: can you think while colors are whirling and flashing and changing behind the numbers? As for the game itself--this is aimed at intelligent novices...meaning that if you know how to play the game you don't need the clues; and if you're experienced then you don't want the clues. Otherwise the clues tell you where you went wrong. None of these points are bad, in and of themselves. But you can't turn them off! And you only have 40 games to play with. What's the point? There are other "infinite" games for free.

A correct Sudoku puzzle must have only one solution. The Level 2 puzzle has at least 4 solutions to it. This game is very poorly designed. I solve at least one Sudoku puzzle a day and it's very frustrating to work on a puzzle that doesn't work correctly. I'm deleting Sudoku Forever! Sorry!

Wow. What an absolutely annoying version of Sudoku. The music seems to be a loop that lasts about 15 seconds, a happy happy jingly annoyance. While you're playing a board there are these doodads that swirl and pulse in each corner AND on top of your playing screen all the time, for no reason I can see other than to disrupt your attention. There are NO instructions at all. Even things like entering the number you want into a square. So far as I was able to tell, you have a choice:

Left click on an empty square, and it enters a '1' in the square, and it immediately tells you that you are wrong or right by coloring the square red or green. But what if you didn't want to enter a 1? What if you had figured out it was a 4? Why, left click again, and it'll turn it to a 2. And tell you that that's another wrong answer. Click. 3. Wrong again! Click. 4. Blessed green, hurrah.

Second choice: right click on the square. And it enters a 9, and tells you that that is right or wrong immediately. Click again -- 8. Nope, that's wrong, too. click. 7. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

And that seems to be it. There's no way to just put in what number you want. No way to keep it from reporting you are right or wrong. There's no possible way to 'lose' or go astray for even a moment. In essence it forces you to work your way up or down to the correct number and tells you at each step if you're right or wrong. Why think at all? Click on the first empty square. Keep clicking on it until it finally turns green. Then start clicking on the next empty square until it is green. And then the third, and then the fourth....

You know what this game basically is? The equivalent of those carnival games where you can play tic-tac-toe versus a chicken. The chicken doesn't know how to play tic-tac-toe of course, all it knows is to keep pecking at its trigger until a kernel of corn drops out. That's what this game does, but this time you're not cast as the mark playing tic-tac-toe.

I refuse to be the chicken.

D/l and Installed. I soon uninstalled it however due to the pulsating circles. OK if you don't mind getting a headache whilst playing!!

Hey, WhiteRabbit. Question on the Comments: do "people" pay attention to Comments, ages after the product has been offered? It usually takes me a while to complete some of the games.

DianaAspenHill,

Hi Diane, Please excuse the late reply.

Probably not, but it may be worth posting a comment in the forums where it is more likely to be read.

One of the worst game ever seen, dont bother

Reply | Comment by Harry – 4 years ago – Did you find this comment useful? yes | no (0)

I occasionally play a game of Sudoku and one of the main ways that I solve a puzzle is by noting the possible numbers in each box, then eliminating them until only one number remains. As far as I can see (from the video and the screenshots) this game doesn't offer that facility - which is extraordinary.

So I won't be downloading this one.

Any chance that we could have a griddler/picross/nonogram game, please? We've had The Wolf's Story and Egypt Picross - Pharaohs Riddles, but another like these would be great.

My advice to the game creators is to remove the red and green indicators. Sudoku is a thinking game -- it is liked by people who like to *think* and solve the puzzle. But with red and green indicators, one can just simply go on clicking in a cell and stop clicking when the indicator turns green. That's BORING!!
