The name Tower Bloxx Deluxe gives no clue as to how cute, simple, and strangely wonderful this 3D puzzle game is. You live in a city of Tower Toons, cartoon people who love tall apartments and skyscrapers. The problem is, most buildings in the city are old and falling apart, and Toons are leaving fast. [...]

Let’s face it, I’m a big fan of the Build-a-lot series – two award winning casual games that allowed the player to construct an entire neighborhood, earn lots of cash from selling real estate, and admire his or her own handiwork from a birds’ eye view at the end of it all. The feeling of [...]

Being someone who has a liking for business simulations and arcade entertainment, click-management games have a special appeal for me, because they bring in nicely the best of both worlds. These games fix my cravings for fast-twitch action and management all at once. While Helen Gardener isn’t exactly anything too grand, I did still have [...]

It’s been 3 years since your last vacation, you’ve been working yourself to the bone and you desperately need a nice long break. Who hasn’t had that thought? Our heroine here ran into exactly such a situation, but little did she know that her flight to paradise was just the beginning of another long journey.

Beebo is a busy little “beeficiency expert” who travels from one bee hive to the next, helping [...]

Some of us are very critical of games coming from well-known films or television programs. Some things appear best through stylized camera angles and cinematic storylines, observed from a third-person’s view. However, plenty of this is lost in the crossover to interactive media, largely because being “interactive”, it requires you to participate actively in the [...]

Dairy Dash, as the name already suggests, is another spin-off of Diner Dash published by Playfirst. The story begins with the Smiths deciding to take up a relative’s old farm, and that’s where you come in. Your job is to click-manage their efforts to make the best they can out of it. Also, true to [...]

Farming Frenzy is a real piece of work with plenty of real solid click-management and arcade elements. It’s the sort of game that makes you rethink a genre believed to have no more new room for re-creation.

Ever wished there were more people who played your favorite board games with you? Well, here’s an alternative: why not play against the computer? It has an excellent memory of the achievements you obtained playing the game, is a challenging opponent, and supplies a rich multimedia experience on top of the classic gameplay you know [...]
