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 [...]

Totem Quest
Posted by Marcus Albers on April 30th, 2008 in Reviews

I’ve always liked games that have a twist. Aloha Solitaire is solitaire with a tropical twist. Scrabble Blast is a word search with a Scrabble twist. These games are the ones that break out of their respective genres and become something more. Totem Quest is match-3 with a twist, in more ways than one.

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 [...]

Dream Vacation Solitaire
Posted by Nick Kojima on October 31st, 2007 in Reviews

Well, yes, it’s solitaire. No real surprises there. And yes, you’re on a vacation, and if you always wanted to cruise the world on a luxury yacht, I guess that’s kinda dreamy. And though Dream Vacation Solitaire tries like many solitaire games to spice it up through the liberal application of game variants like yin-yang, [...]

Aloha Solitaire
Posted by Nick Kojima on October 29th, 2007 in Reviews

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.

Word Monaco
Posted by Nick Kojima on October 9th, 2007 in Reviews

You know why I hate casual word games? Because I am tired of spelling the same 3-4 letter words over and over and over again while some timer stresses me out. And finally, someone has a game design that solves that: Word Monaco. Essentially, it’s classic solitaire, but instead of matching cards, you are matching [...]

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 [...]
