Bar Games offers a lighthearted and somewhat quirky collection of bar-themed games. In the game you can play five bar games: Liar's Dice, Wet 'n Wild, Last Call, Air Hockey, and Pick-up Artist. Includes both single and tournament play. While some games rely more on reflexes than strategy, others do require thinking and memory (Liar's Dice and Pick-up Artist, in particular). The graphics are fine; The various types (especially in the air hockey and in the beer story) are sometimes excellently animated. We'll leave the lively but unfortunately squeaky PC sound out of the equation. The individual parts of the games are interesting, funny, “harmless” and pleasant.
