Do we really need another Match-3? Pakoombo attempts to set itself apart from the rest by adding in a bit of everything. 10 boss battles! 18 power-ups! Quests and subquests! Three playable characters! So how do all of these measure up? Read on to find out.

If you think that 2D, top-down, pixel art role-playing games are dead, think again. Today’s indie designers are still creating stories reminiscent of our DOS and PlayStation childhoods. Don’t get us wrong, we love the new 3D RPGs as much as the next guy. But we still have a special place in our heart for [...]

Independent Brazilian developer Techfront has just released Pakoombo, a unique puzzle game full of tropical fun, on RealArcade today.

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.

The premise: you belong to a group of people called the Zombie Smashers and your job (coincidentally) is to smash zombies. Lucky for you, they don’t seem to stay down. Isn’t job security nice? So you’re back on the job of smashing some zombie brains.

I’ve often wished that more casual developers would take the time and effort to put out a good, well-written, role-playing game. It’s a genre which doesn’t get nearly enough attention in the casual market, probably due in no small part to the enormous amount of time it takes to pen and program a full length [...]

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 [...]
