Suggested strategy and free puzzle and logic games??
 

Would anyone be able to suggest any good strategy games (like starcraft or warcraft), that I can buy at my local electronics shop here in Toronto (like Futureshop or Electronic Boutique).

I am looking for also puzzle and logic games that help to help develop lateral thinking, and that will help you to develop the mathematical and functional aspects of your brain. Mainly for computer chess games (with beginner, average, experienced computer oponents, and online member base) If this is online I would not mind. Also any other puzzle or logic games that are free for download for the computer, or anything else you have to suggest.

Thanks!

Hmm, civilization?

I'd mention Fritz (Chessgame) as well, but you already said chess ^^

Well I want suggestions for CHESS too, stuff from beginner to advanced :D

Well, as said Fritz would be my choise.
You can define nearly every aspect of the computer's strategy if wanted, and specify the difficult level from beginner till überprofi.

Do you happen to have a url to where I can purchase it?

there may be older versions of it on ebay maybe :)

You also want checkers and/or backgammon. :)

And on that note an open challenge to anyone who wants a game of checkers can PM me ;)

did you try WarcraftIII ? if not then you should (for WCG ^^), Starcraft is also good it's legend. Rise of Nations or Age of Mythology is ok too

I bought both starcraft and warcraft, and in LOST the cd and box for starcraft, I dont have the expansion pack for warcraft, but did have the broodwar expansion for starcraft :( I miss starcraft.
I am an avid checkers player, and do not understand backgammon :P

I challege thee to a duel of checkers oh Fusion of drk ;)

I will only accept if there is an entry prize of a Custom Title (Talk xenon into it).
Will this game be held on Yahoo?

Hehe persuade stefan and i'm in ;)

lool,

nice try Arunan, but you won't get a title just to fulfill deans request for playing a game with him ^^

How about if I play a game of checkers with you?

Stefan doesn't play checkers. He plays chess - "the game for kings" - if I can borrow one of his quotes :(

Chess > Checkers

I can play him in Chess :D and yes Chess > Checkers

Which version of Fritz do you use?

Hehe, sure we can play a game of Chess when i have more time again :)

I used Fritz 7, but i think i should install it again on my new pc ^^

Risk and 3 other people make for a long night of strategy and planning, so what if it dos'nt play on a fancy screen or make noises via a speaker? It is still one of the best games ever made imo ;)

Hehe I used to play risk all the time with my mother. It's a great game, best played on the good ol' fashioned board :)!
