Even after nightfall, in the midst of their dreams, the Peggle Institute is still as active as ever. PopCap’s latest sequel is all you’d expect from the previous game, with a new take on familiar characters, and the same old pachinko-style arcade madness. If you’re a big fan of Peggle, you know what to do. [...]

We’ve featured casual game developers from all over the globe, and it’s about time we turned our eyes to Asia. Flipside is a small but busy studio in the Philippines; they’ve worked with established foreign studios on such titles as Hoyle Enchanted Puzzles. We cornered their CEO, Gabby Dizon, to share with us what game [...]

We know Twilight Games for their lovely titles like Aargon Deluxe, Space Taxi 2 and Jump Jump Jelly Reactor. The studio began in Montreal, Canada back in 1999. Today, the comapany is truly international, with its members working and collaborating from different countries through the Internet. Yet, despite all those developments, it still retains its [...]

You know, when everyone started making casual games, there was this great naïve belief that we could just go back into the vaults of Zaxxon, Centipede, and Pac Man and bring all of the classics out with some new gameplay, and people would just eat them up. Well, yes and no. While you can certainly [...]

Two numbers keep popping up when people talk about Bookworm Adventures Deluxe: $30 to buy the game and $700,000 to make the game. Is it worth either? Depends on who you ask. In our case, we give a cautious yes, though we’re sure we don’t like the trend of higher budgets and higher price points [...]

By and large, they succeed. The main goal of the game is to crate a path between two talismans through a number of hexes, taking [...]

The game played very fast, with simple levels we could clear quickly, and the overall experience was simple casual gaming at its best. We expect to see a dozen knock-off games with a similar mechanic within a few months, [...]
