Pretty good, in that old-fashioned "Oh God why is the screen full of me exploding?!" kind of way.

A charmingly inventive puzzle game that has you synthesising chemicals from raw materials by designing circuits. It starts of simply enough, but soon you're having to make individual reactors and connect them in one production line, and sure enough, everything gets confusing.

But each level, no matter how complex, is just so satisfying to beat. I can't think of another puzzle game that matches the feeling you get when your intricate little circuits join up to produce the final result.

It's around 6.02x10^23 times more fun than actual Chemistry.

A consistently amusing, over-the-top RTS with fun units, nice sea combat and B-movie humour. If you like grinning death-zeppellins, armoured war bears, giant samurai robots and shrink-ray helicopters, then this is for you. And tesla coils, of course.

I'm not sure if it quite bests Red Alert 2 (particulalry with the Yuri's Revenge psychic brilliance), but it bloody well tries its hardest. Combine that with meaningfully different factions (in terms of construction and units), and you've got a blast of a game.
