Posted by Nick Kojima on September 8th, 2008 in Features

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 [...]

Designing Hoyle Enchanted Puzzles
Posted by Poh Tun Kai on April 1st, 2008 in Features

We Casual Review folks love casual games, and this is because we don’t just work at reviewing games, we also make them. I’ve been away from this site for the past few months for certain game-related reasons. I’d humbly like to show you one of these reasons:

Mystery Solitaire
Posted by Nick Kojima on December 14th, 2007 in Reviews

It’s such a patently obvious theme: Aloha Tripeaks meets Lost meets Mystery Case Files. Yet, like all the best ideas, it’s only obvious when someone else does it. And despite the somewhat Chinese-food-menu approach to design it takes, the overall game takes the best elements of all of its inspiration sources and creates an original [...]

It’s Hawaii. It’s a beach. The sun is out and it’s a perfect day beneath a sky of blue. What do you do? If you answered “play a metric donkey-load of solitaire”, then Gamehouse has just the game for you.

Posted by Nick Kojima on October 22nd, 2007 in Reviews

Look - another Mahjong game set in China! Who could have seen that coming? Apparently the demand for these things is bottomless.

Imagine a domino set and a mahjong set went and made sweet porcelain tablet love somewhere, and had a secret love child. That would be Mah-Jomino. The concept is refreshingly original, and people who like dominoes will be especially amused. The basic idea is that you are matching open ends of dominoes that have been [...]

Aloha Tripeaks
Posted by Nick Kojima on October 8th, 2007 in Reviews

This is essentially the same game as Aloha Solitaire but with a tripeaks dynamic. It’s just as good as it’s predecessor, maybe a little better. The basic idea of tripeaks, if you are new to the genre, is pretty simple. If you can count up and down to 13, you’re pretty much there. It is [...]

Runes of Avalon
Posted by Nick Kojima on September 27th, 2007 in Reviews

Sometimes games come out of nowhere and bowl you over with their beauty, originality, and general coolness. And while this game has the beauty, originality, and coolness down, it certainly didn’t come out of nowhere for those of us involved in the indie game scene. We have been given weekly, nay, daily updates on the [...]
