BrickQuest 2
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on August 20th, 2008 in Reviews

The developer known as UnikGame has bounced back into the brick breaker genre with BrickQuest 2, which comes wrapped in a great package of gameplay, graphics and music. While it’s very much a retro game in essence, it also uses lots of ideas and tricks from other games of recent years to make the entire brick breaking affair a [...]

And we consider it a real kindness, because we are telling you right now - this game is great. It’s got everything you probably ever liked in a casual game all in one pretty little [...]

Mah Jong Quest III: Balance of Life
Posted by Luna Cruz on August 19th, 2008 in Reviews

Who knew there were so many ways to play Mah Jong? I used to play it on our Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) when I was a kid. Mah Jong here refers not to the Chinese four-player game played on a table. The tile set is the same - bamboo, dots, Chinese characters, flowers, and others [...]

UNO - Undercover
Posted by Luna Cruz on August 18th, 2008 in Reviews

Whoever thought to mix UNO with James Bond is brilliant. I hadn’t played UNO in a long time (not since childhood), and was worried this casual game wouldn’t appeal to me. But it’s hard not to like!

We’ve got a special Flash Friday for you today - it’s Facebook Friday! The social networking site Facebook has just launched its new design, and with it a slew of both old and new games (some of which pit you against your friends).

Fishing Craze
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on August 15th, 2008 in Reviews

Fishing Craze has me hooked. I pull on the line and the biggest catch of the day lands in my boat, nearly capsizing it. I\’m going to need a bigger boat!
This simple and rewarding action game from Joju Games is probably the best fishing/mining casual game we’ve seen to date. You control a husband-and-wife team [...]

Kudos 2 Preview
Posted by Luna Cruz on August 14th, 2008 in Previews

Remember Kudos, the life sim game that lets you make meaningful choices for your sim’s life? (If you missed it, check out our review of it here. And read our interview with developer Positech Games while you’re at it!) If you did miss Kudos, it’s what The Sims would be like if you put some [...]

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on August 14th, 2008 in Reviews

Some casual games really reward a full play-through, and Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, really has a lot to offer. Gripping story? Check. Addictive gameplay? Yup. Deep RPG (role-playing game) elements? Lots of them! Quality sound and graphics? That too.
Infinite Interactive found a winning balance between simple core gameplay and deep long-term gameplay elements, when it [...]

Etch-a-Sketch: Knobby’s Quest
Posted by Luna Cruz on August 13th, 2008 in Reviews

At the hands of a pro, an Etch-a-Sketch toy can make the most amazing black-and-white works of art. But if you don’t know how to control it, you’ll probably end up frustrated. The same can be said for Etch-a-Sketch: Knobby’s Quest.
