There must be a error of some sort, today is Saturday.. All I see is Equation Wizard 1.2. which I'm sure is not a game :( Unless it's for people who find maths entertaining :O
Also there was no game on last week Sunday(August 26, 2007)
Come on think of us folks who like games :) and don't listen to those who complain about the games :)

I'm not complaining,
might be just me, but the games aren't as good as the software ...

I agree with BOTH of you. Most of the applications are targeted to a limited audience. Even screensavers have a broader interest. I already have plenty of games (and screensavers) to choose from. I don't "need" anymore games. I've stopped recommending GOTD; because, some friends & others I've told about it lately complain to me that there's no games or anything else that interests them. I am starting to agree with them...
The few times there have been anything I might want, I've had to wade thru obvious frauds wasting space & time posting their "spam". People have complained and offered solutions too long. I miss some of the "regulars" comments. This forum has less pollution and more familar names I can trust.
(Thanks for letting me "vent" ) 8])

There was a time when there wasn't a game offered with the regular software offered every day or even just the weekends. So I can't say I miss it all that much. The game section is nice... but I always looked at it like it was a "plus" to the regular site anyway.
GOTD won't always have what I'm interested in for games or for regular software. But occasionally both sections do have something I'm very interested in. How can you moan about not getting a game when they're piling up on your computer for testing anyway? O.o "Testing" implies you aren't even playing them. Just a freebie pack rat? eh.. nm.. idc.
Personally I like the bigger downloads for the games. They're usually a bit better than the "cube" clones. But there are those that like the cube games too. 100% of the ppl will never be happy 100% of the time.

the problem is that most "good" games are the ones that are already "successful", such as halo, war craft, need for speed,...ect
you have to buy them because they (EA, micro,bizzard) don't need anymore people to "test"
softwares are the other hand, I never heard of direct access, conpect draw, sticky password, wirekeys, aimdersoft......
those are good softwares worth buying, but I never heard of them.
correct me if I'm wrong, but the point (at least what it is suppose to do) is to let companies be known to customers
Some compaines are not "as good" such as double games, but once in a while I'm am pleased with the software provided (the only "good" games I liked were, ball 7, battlesnake, hacker evolution, and magic tea)
anyways, for people who keep complaining....GET A LIFE!
if you like a software, BUY IT
they don't work for free!
if you keep buy it, look for freewares, almost every game/program has a simlar freeware
I'm not complaining, might be just me, but the games aren't as good as the software ...
Get a grip. You obviously prefer much more in-depth and complex games; That's fine. Ignore the games, move along. But some people like the smaller games, especially when all they want to do is take a short break. (I'll also note that none of the games you mentioned are puzzle games ;>)
Most of the applications are targeted to a limited audience. Even screensavers have a broader interest.
Mistake number one: You can't please everyone. I know you're not talking about making everyone happy, but the variety is a good thing. There's a LARGE amount of software offered here that is completely useless to me (the password keepers, for example - I just write them down on paper - my home isn't that insecure!) that others were just slobbering over. Yet you don't see me complain, and that's because I know I'll have my turn. If you really think you're going to get software you like even more than once per week, you've gotten greedy and there's no question about it.

problem is that the non complex games usaully are freeware. I'm sure that you can find a freeware that is simlar to the one you have to pay (who knows, maybe the paid one copied from the free one)
That's kind of a weak argument, since you can find freeware of about half the software out there. And yes, copying often happens (both ways); Sometimes some companies even try to get away with branding and selling GPL software without also giving the source nor proper credit. Tsk.

there are a lot of quailty freeware that may be even better then trial ware
and yes, you can find freeware of more then half the software out there, the difference is that most of the times the freeware are not as stable, graphics suck (games), no support...ect
