Anna’s Ice Cream
Posted by Luna Cruz on November 26th, 2008 in Reviews

We love ice cream. We’ve dreamt of a game where you can scoop and scoop and scoop ice cream, with a whole rainbow of flavors and toppings to choose from. And at first we were disappointed with Anna’s Ice Cream, when all you could do at the start was serve one flavor (vanilla) and one [...]

Posted by Jianyang Tan on November 19th, 2008 in Reviews

The game’s title says it all. You have been warned: this rather unique puzzle game is rife with inside jokes pertaining to various prominent groups from popular culture.

Magic Encyclopedia
Posted by Luna Cruz on November 18th, 2008 in Reviews

The title “Magic Encyclopedia” doesn’t really describe anything about this hidden object game. If it were up to us, we’d have called it: “Fun mystery solving while teleporting around the world, with some cool mini-games along the way.” Okay, that might be too long.
