Good news for all you Bejeweled fans - PopCap Games has just released Bejeweled Twist! Your gem-matching favorite is back, but this time, you’ll be rotating gems instead of swapping them. Gems are rotated in 2×2 blocks, and you don’t have to make a match with every move, letting you plan ahead and put more [...]

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 [...]

Ok, let’s be honest. Amazing Adventures: The Lost Tomb is just another hidden object game. You will find that 99% of the design shares much with the other 5 million casual hidden object games released in the last year, starting from Mystery Case Files almost two years ago now. And that’s enough to make a [...]

You know, when everyone started making casual games, there was this great naïve belief that we could just go back into the vaults of Zaxxon, Centipede, and Pac Man and bring all of the classics out with some new gameplay, and people would just eat them up.

I’ve always said that there just aren’t enough good Classical Greek styled games out there. Talismania is trying to do something about that with a refreshingly original pipe-match style game. By and large, they succeed. The main goal of the game is to crate a path between two talismans through a number of hexes, taking [...]

You’ve probably seen a pachinko machine before. You know them. They’re those crazy games where a ball drops onto a series of pegs and bounces down into one of several holes. Where will it land? That’s the fun! You never know. Well, Peggle is what Pachinko would be if it were a zany after-school special [...]

The first thing I think of when I hear the name Venice is canals and gondolas. But there’s more to Venice that just that – there’s the magnificent architecture, and all of those art treasures…sinking. And in this arcade-action game, this is where you come in, riding to the rescue of the precious treasures of [...]
