Do we really need another Match-3? Pakoombo attempts to set itself apart from the rest by adding in a bit of everything. 10 boss battles! 18 power-ups! Quests and subquests! Three playable characters! So how do all of these measure up? Read on to find out.

Inertia Software’s latest hidden objects game builds the mood up well with a haunted house theme, but offers little else that is fresh to the casual gamer. The player is put into the shoes of Edwina Margrave, who received a letter from her grandfather on her 20th birthday dated 10 years ago. The letter invites [...]

Forgotten Riddles: The Moonlight Sonatas is one with an incredible atmosphere and intriguing story. While memories of most hidden object experiences are often all too easily lost after you’ve found them, Blue Tea’s title is one that truly stands out from the crowd. What we have here is a hidden object game presented in the [...]

The game’s title, Money Tree, is quite literal.  I remember game shows I watched as a kid where contestants would have money raining over them, and they were promised whatever amount they could grab before the notes hit the floor. I would mock their silly money-grabbing antics openly in front of the TV set, but secretly, [...]

We were terribly excited to learn that one of the top games of the last year, Azada, finally had a sequel. But is it as good as the original? Does it have the same great mix of mystery, story, and minigames? Would it keep us amused nearly as long? All good questions, and sadly, the [...]

Who knew there were so many ways to play Mah Jong? I used to play it on our Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) when I was a kid. Mah Jong here refers not to the Chinese four-player game played on a table. The tile set is the same - bamboo, dots, Chinese characters, flowers, and others [...]

I’ve played quite a few hidden object, or seek-and-find, games in my time. They have ranged from the so-so, such as The History Channel Lost Worlds, to the excellent, like the Mystery Case Files series. There are certain things that I look for when evaluating these games, such as the quality of the graphics, the [...]

You are running up the side of an ancient Mayan temple, trying to stay away from an ancient dragon god that has been released. On the way, you need to pick up cameras lying around. In order to find the components to an ancient skeleton key, you need to find the tools to help Captain [...]

Lets get this out of the way right now – this is not a “casual game” in the sense of the word most of us have come to accept. No jewels are matched, no diners are dashed, no mysterious cases are… filed. Eschalon is a tile-built, turn-based RPG game in the classic sense of the [...]
