Money Tree Review
We all know money doesn't grow on trees. Except, of course, in the frantic new mouse-masher Money Tree, where cold hard cash can literally sprout from any branch. As such, it's quite easy to see the click-happy arcade game's appeal, especially in a recession. (Hey, who wouldn't want to harvest a little moolah any time of year?) Unfortunately, what's not so simply to justify is how the outing's worth a fistful of your hard-earned real-world dollars.
In Living Colors Review
My three-year-old daughter accompanied me as I clicked my way through much of In Living Colors. No stranger to computer games, my toddler offspring was certain that this matching game, with its giant paintbrush pointer and boldly colored and happy looking little paint blots, was meant for her. Of course, it isn't meant for toddlers. In fact, in some ways, the game nearly proved too tricky for her papa.
Penguins' Journey Review
Every once in a while (e.g. during the present deluge of cut-rate hidden object titles), we casual game reviewers put the call out, begging publishers for something fresh and original... a little left-of-center, even. Thankfully, every so often (i.e. here, in one of the most clever and adorable mouse-mashing puzzlers seen in months), the powers that be actually listen, blessing fans of the hobby with first-rate outings like Penguins' Journey.
Golden Hearts Juice Bar Review
To pay her college tuition, Kelly finds herself working at the local juice bar making delicious fruit smoothies and milkshakes for customers. As jobs go, it could be worse. As games go, however, Golden Hearts Juice Bar could be better as a great premise is compromised by sloppiness and an annoying glitch.
