Top Chef Review
Cooking games, pioneered by the likes of Cooking Mama and Hot Dish, are nothing new. But Top Chef, based on the hit reality TV show, dares to do something different by tasking players to actually create dishes instead of simply following recipes. But does it succeed, or is it a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth?

Bob the Builder: Can-Do Zoo Review
Bob the Builder represents one of the more educational and constructive properties in modern kiddy pop culture. Not only are his books and television shows instructive, they also contain important themes such as conservationism and gender equality. Hence, the reason why I was willing ot let my three-year-old daughter have at Bob's latest interactive adventure: Bob the Builder: Can Do Zoo, from Brighter Minds and Diner Dash and Jojo's Fashion Show creator Gamelab.
Jojo's Fashion Show 2: Las Cruces Review
Moreso than any other industry, haute couture can be a brutal field - one week you're in... literally the next out. Case in point: Jojo's Fashion Show 2, which, while building on its predecessor's successful formula, fails to turn quite as many heads.

Plantasia Review
GameLab and PlayFirst, creators of last year's hit Diner Dash have bloomed early this 2006 with Plantasia; a blend of action, strategy, and a light coating of fairy dust, hovering neatly around the surprisingly frantic world of horticulture.
Egg vs. Chicken Review
Instead of the age-old question - which came first: the chicken or the egg? - the zany game folks over at gameLab and Playfirst are asking a different question: is the egg stronger than the chicken?
