As hidden-object games continue to gain in popularity, the market is getting flooded with a glut of games that, on the surface seem different from one another in that they all have different stories, different locations, and different characters.  But, when it comes down to the brass tacks of the matter, they are all very [...]

Tropix 2: Quest for the Golden Banana gets chops just for having “banana” in its title. Everything about the game is pretty silly - you’re a monkey hopping from island to island in search of treasure, meeting penguins, crabs, and birds along the way. Instead of the traditional linear adventure, Tropix 2 is more like [...]

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.
