Posted by Xuanming Zhou on September 10th, 2008 in Reviews

Based on a motion picture of the same name, Righteous Kill is a hidden objects game with an undeniably strong cinematic flair about it, unseen before in previous titles of the genre. The player is put in the shoes of Erica Dean, an investigator on the trail of a vigilante responsible for several recent murders. [...]

Mystery Cookbook
Posted by Marcus Albers on July 14th, 2008 in Reviews

If there was one thing that I learned from watching movies last year, it was that rodents are responsible for some of the finest cuisine in the world. The story of a rat who longs to be a great chef should be strangely familiar to those that have given Mystery Cookbook a try. Similarities between [...]

Any guy who is now either married or engaged to be is bound to remember that fateful day, that day when it was time to utter those five little words that could mean the difference between happily ever after and back to the drawing board: Can I marry your daughter?

Hidden Expedition: Amazon
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on June 24th, 2008 in Reviews

The great wonders of the world make a fine theme for a hidden object game, and this is something that the Hidden Expedition series has specialized in, ever since Hidden Expedition: Titanic. The latest of these is Hidden Expedition: Amazon, which I have to admit is one of the prettiest and best sounding games of [...]

Mystery P.I. - The Vegas Heist
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on June 23rd, 2008 in Reviews

The last few months have seen some really good hidden object games appearing on the scene to really raise the bar on the genre. Mortimer Beckett and Women’s Murder Club managed to provide some really good-looking clue hunting adventures while also using all the objects found as part of their puzzles. Compared to that, The [...]

Build in Time
Posted by Xuanming Zhou on June 18th, 2008 in Reviews

Let’s face it, I’m a big fan of the Build-a-lot series – two award winning casual games that allowed the player to construct an entire neighborhood, earn lots of cash from selling real estate, and admire his or her own handiwork from a birds’ eye view at the end of it all. The feeling of [...]

Inca Quest
Posted by Nick Kojima on December 9th, 2007 in Reviews

Inca Quest takes a tried and true bubble-shooting casual mechanic and brings it to life. The basic game is very simple. If you have played any of a dozen “lots of spheres are descending from the sky and you must shoot them with balls to match 3 or more and make them disappear” games, you [...]

Zodiac
Posted by Nick Kojima on November 22nd, 2007 in Reviews

Every now and then when I play a new game, I turn to my roommate after 30 seconds and say “Hey, check this out!” This is always a good sign, because it means I am seeing something for the first time. And to be honest, as a casual game reviewer that doesn’t happen nearly as [...]

Posted by Andy Osthoff on November 19th, 2007 in Reviews

Have you ever played a game that seemed too simple to challenge you, and then the complexity unfolds and you suddenly realize that you’re hanging on for dear life? Stones of Khufu is just such a game, and it’s as easy or hard as you want to make it. Whether that’s a good thing is [...]
