Alice's Magical Mahjong Review

On the surface, the concept of combining the ancient Chinese tile-matching pastime of mahjong with British author Lewis Carroll's classic fantasy story Alice's Adventures in Wonderland seems as far-fetched as... well, a white rabbit in a waistcoat carrying a pocket watch. But thanks to outstanding production values, solid mahjong gameplay, and well-executed hidden object rounds that don't manage to feel tacked on, Alice's Magical Mahjong is a thoroughly charming outing.

Mayawaka Review

Take an '80s arcade hit like Q*Bert, add a Mayan theme, and then throw in some classic mini-games such as Memory (a.k.a. Concentration) and Whack-A-Mole and you'll end up with something like Mayawaka, a new casual game that - while unoriginal in its design - ends up being more than the sum of its mediocre parts.
