Strong Bad’s Cool Game For Attractive People - Episode 2: Strong Badia The Free
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on October 24th, 2008 in Reviews

From web pages of the cartoon site homestarrunner.com comes the egotistical little guy in the wrestling mask and boxing gloves, Strong Bad. The second episode of his self-aware, self-promoting, and hilariously funny adventure game is titled Strong Badia The Free, and it’s really an excuse to link together a whole bunch of gags and puzzles themed around countries [...]

Yard Sale Hidden Treasures: Sunnyville
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on September 30th, 2008 in Reviews

Yard Sale Hidden Treasures takes the extra leap from finding hidden objects to do-it-yourself home decoration, and is far more satisfying to play as a result. What’s more, the theme of searching through junk for valuable treasure has been taken to its logical conclusion: yard sales!
You’re a new resident in the quirky town of Sunnyville, where [...]

A great little game that is both appealing in its simplicity and subversive in its addictiveness. While it may not win any awards for graphics of production polish, it is more than enough game to keep you happily occupied for a few days, which is a lot more than can be said about dozens of [...]

Bookworm Adventures Deluxe
Posted by Nick Kojima on November 25th, 2007 in Reviews

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 [...]

Carrie the Caregiver 2: Preschool
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on October 15th, 2007 in Reviews

Kids may be a huge handful to take care of, but in this sequel to Carrie the Caregiver, handling children isn’t all too different from how you deal with customers in games like Diner Dash. It’s the same basic formula except that instead of adult customers, you’re serving the preschool toddlers at activity stations – [...]

Puzzle Detective
Posted by Mayling Tan on June 2nd, 2007 in Reviews

I must admit the first time I saw this title by development team Joju, I least expected it to be a match-3. I was expecting the gameplay to be similar to Inspector Parker – plenty of logic puzzles to keep you glued to the screen. However, the fact that it is a match-3 is almost [...]

Indie Monday
Posted by Cameron Sorden on February 5th, 2007 in Features

We have a nice mix of really creative games for you today: a matching game with a neat twist, a deep and addicitive life simulator, and a nostalgic and cute 3D platformer. All three of these were done exceptionally well, with the kind of polish that you often see lacking in Indie Games. If these [...]

Dinner and a Game
Posted by Sara Schweid on February 2nd, 2007 in Features

You know that feeling when you’re really hungry? Really, really hungry? Left-over tupperware back-of-the-fridge hungry? Eets feels your pain. This little guy is a fella after my own heart – always looking for something to eat. And he’s not craving a ripe apple or a handful of carrot sticks, no sir; he’s looking for good [...]
