Playfirst presents us with another solitaire-based puzzle game, which interestingly has a theme of archaeological expeditions throughout the ancient world.

The basic message: This is the other good tripeaks game. If you are into tripeaks, you probably already own it. If you like solitaire, you should probably check it out.

Not every casual game needs to have a great storyline backing it up, but this one is all the better for it. This game is an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s longest novel, Death On The Nile, and its plot is revealed in a series of still cut-scenes depicting the characters as unmoving “talking heads” while [...]

Meta-games are all the rage these days. Apparently, simple games just aren’t good enough for casual gamers anymore.

That’s the fun! You never know. Well, Peggle is what Pachinko would be if it were a zany after-school special [...]

I remember when glorified math calculation games passed for edutainment, and you were lucky if there was any game at all in your “educational games.” Well, educational entertainment has come a long way since those days, and if your regular favorite games are too complex for your children or you don’t want them spending lots [...]

Shoot cannons at an invading armada of ships, destroy incoming cannonballs and raiders, keep your castle walls from falling… what’s not to like? And you do all of this by simply clicking your mouse. For having such simple gameplay, Battle Castles is surprisingly fun.
