The Apprentice - Los Angeles
Posted by Mayling Tan on May 16th, 2007 in Reviews

If you’re a great fan of ridiculously rich billionaires with equally atrocious toupees to match, surely you must know of the latest offspring from the reality TV series, The Apprentice. I’m personally not inclined to the series but I do stumble upon it channel surfing occasionally. I was really curious to see how this show [...]

Burger Island
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on May 15th, 2007 in Reviews

Burger Island is one of those games with an odd “push and pull” effect. Like the best arcade action games, it tests your reflexes as well as your memory in rapidly assembling increasingly complicated recipes. A really addictive game would usually have you glued to your screen, reluctant to pull yourself away. But Burger Island [...]

Big City Adventure - San Francisco
Posted by Mayling Tan on May 14th, 2007 in Reviews

All those familiar with Where in the World is Carmen San Diego would have played this game before. Or were you like me, a dorky kid who was glued to the cartoon series back in the 80s searching for a certain pin-striped Wally? Since then, a plethora of object-finding games have already been unleashed upon [...]

Monarch - The Butterfly King
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on May 11th, 2007 in Reviews

You’ve probably played or at least seen some variant of the classic match-3 game by now, so let me just skip to the meat of this review: This game retreads familiar mechanics, but it’s a splendid retread indeed with gorgeous graphics and cunningly designed levels. Monarch – The Butterfly King incorporates the same tile-clearing and [...]

Secret of the Seas
Posted by Mayling Tan on May 9th, 2007 in Reviews

Secret of the Seas is one of the latest offering from developers Flowplay, and they invite you on an action packed puzzle adventure to retrieve the lost crown of the last Inca King. You see, years and years ago, the crown was entrusted to Mr. Hidalgo, but by some fluke, he lost it. And as [...]

Fairy Godmother Tycoon
Posted by Nick Kojima on May 7th, 2007 in Reviews

I will tell you this upfront, this is not going to be a long review, because we see no point in it at all. This is one of the most polished and beautiful casual games we have seen in months, and we really think your time is better spent playing the demo than listening to [...]

Fairy Jewels
Posted by Nick Kojima on May 6th, 2007 in Reviews

This is one of those games that just snuck up and surprised us. It looks, on the surface, like another bubble-shooting clone, and honestly the marketing copy didn’t do it any favors. The opening screens and wrappers were also bland enough that we had prepared ourselves for another of the many, many games we simply [...]

Dream Day Wedding
Posted by Nick Kojima on May 5th, 2007 in Reviews

Yep, it’s a clone. The screen looks shockingly similar; the object selection is in the same place, even the hints and the clock are in the same place. If there had been a Big Fish logo at the beginning and a title of “Mystery Case Wedding” you wouldn’t have blinked an eye at it. There, [...]
