Tactics 100

A different kind of Chess: Tactics 100.

It's like a cross between Chess and Final Fantasy Tactics (or similar game). Move your pieces (of which you've got four different kinds) and attack your enemy. First you move all your pieces, then your enemy moves his. Use the special abilities to full effect to ensure victory.

Luminaria

Blast them away: Luminaria.

The game plays somewhat like Asteroids. Move with the keyboard, aim with the mouse, and shoot anything that moves.

Slingeren

Strange little game: Slingeren.

Another "filler" game: You point and click the mouse to shoot one of your two rubber bands, and swing across the "landscape" (as you can see from the screenshot, there's not a lot of eye candy, to say it mildly). Simple, but fun.

Tower's Tactics - Deity's Throne

RTS meets RPG: Tower's Tactics - Deity's Throne.

You start with a single hero and up to two soldiers. Each quest/level is played in a real-time-strategy kind of way. Your troops get experience and learn skills (special attacks, healing, etc.).

The game saves your progress, so you don't have to start all over again whenever you play it.

Nightstrike

Defend your bunker: Nightstrike.

As usual for the "castle defense" subgenre, you earn money to upgrade your weaponry. This game, although the graphics are quite good, is somewhat lighter than similar games - and that's not necessarily a bad thing.

B29 Assault

Scrolling shooter: B29 Assault.

Fair gameplay and neat extras. The fact that the game doesn't just scroll up but also down may seem awkward at first - and for some reason it's harder to survive (at least for me) - but you'll get used to it quickly.

Tanked Up

A different kind of racing game: Tanked Up.

You steer your tank with the keyboard and shoot at the other tanks with the mouse.
