MONOPOLY: Build-a-lot Edition Review
You don't have to be confused if you should encounter a feeling of déjà vu while playing MONOPOLY: Build-a-lot Edition. In fact, you are playing a hybrid of Build-a-lot 2 and Monopoly, although the shares of the latter are of minor significance. The idea of combining the probably most popular board game about real estate management and the counterpart of the casual market sounds utterly compelling, but sometimes it's all on the surface.
Scrabble Plus Review
Scrabble may be universally loved, but it hasn't really offered anything new to spice up crossword formula since the game debuted in 1938. That's more than 70 years with nary a tweak to the rule book. Previous releases like 2006's Scrabble Deluxe have done a tremendous job of perfecting Scrabble's board game to video game transition, so what's left to tackle? If you're behind the recently release Scrabble Plus, the answer is "a lot."

The Clockwork Man Review
The Clockwork Man is a hidden object game that takes the "quality over quantity" philosophy to a bit of an extreme. The meticulously detailed hand-drawn scenes demonstrate a degree of breadth and depth – including the ability to scroll the screen left and right, and zoom in on specific areas of the screen – never before attempted. It's creative, fun and fresh while it lasts, but that's the catch: the adventure is over all too quickly after three short but sweet chapters.
