Build-a-lot 2: Town of the Year
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on June 9th, 2008 in Reviews

Unless you’re allergic to the topic of real estate, there is no excuse not to try Build-a-lot 2: Town of the Year. It’s a well-polished building game with both plenty of satisfying challenges and enough customization to make you feel totally in control once you get a handle on the gameplay. And if you’ve played [...]

For those new to Virtual Villagers, the game is a village simulator, where apart from caring and guiding the people of the tribe, you’ll also have to discover and solve puzzles to advance through the game’s narrative.

Fishdom Preview
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on June 7th, 2008 in Previews

Playrix Entertainment, creators of such games as The Rise of Atlantis and Atlantis Quest, have put a whole lot of love and care into a virtual tankload of aquarium fish in their latest game, Fishdom.
Much like other aquatic-themed match-3 games, such as Big Kahuna Reef, Fishdom challenges you to match undersea-themed tokens in a series [...]

Flash Friday: Robokill
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on June 6th, 2008 in Features

This week’s special Flash Friday focus is a new shooter with an old-school feel to it. If you remember our review of the classic Crimsonland, be prepared to hear a lot of the same things about Robokill.

Diamond Drop 2
Posted by Nick Kojima on June 5th, 2008 in Reviews

Let’s be upfront about this: Diamond Drop 2 is a classic style casual game with things that match, specials, and a time sensitive level dynamic. It’s even cliché enough to have gems. There is nothing in this game that is going to blow you out of the water with it’s incredible innovation, nor is this [...]

Safari Sketch
Posted by Jianyang Tan on June 4th, 2008 in Reviews

We often evaluate games based on originality—something refreshing is often good, because it means we’re in for a new playing experience. However, that shouldn’t be the only thing that makes a game good. In this case, it’s true that Safari Sketch is another game of match-3, just like Bejewelled. Your objective here is to clear [...]

Pastry Passion
Posted by Nick Kojima on June 3rd, 2008 in Reviews

It’s pretty hard to review match-3 games these days. It’s just that there are so many, and most of them share a wide assortment of features. Is swapping Inca totems better than swapping gems or fruits or ice cream or (in this case) French pastries? At this point, we just don’t know any more. The [...]

Tradewinds Caravans
Posted by Nick Kojima on June 2nd, 2008 in Reviews

Let’s get this out of the way right at the top of this review: Go download and play this game. It’s a solid game, and 10x more fun than 90% of what we have reviewed over the last year. To be really honest, I was supposed to write this review about 24 hours ago, but [...]

Cooking Academy
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on June 1st, 2008 in Reviews

Now here’s something that’s a bit of a departure from the usual fare: it’s an honest-to-gosh cooking casual game, kind of like Cooking Mama on the Nintendo Wii – except that you don’t usually get a lot of cooking games in the casual game arena that aren’t just task-juggling service games like Burger Island. This [...]
