Svetlograd Review
Remember the good old days of casual gaming, when every other title wasn't a hidden object challenge, but rather Zuma-style marble-popper? The gang at developer Enkord obviously does, as the company has channeled its creativity into making Svetlograd - which clearly falls into the latter category - the most gloriously bonus- and destructible environment-laden title of its kind. Nonetheless, as hands-on play reveals, the approach tends to favor quantity over quality, ultimately leaving the outing a solid, if not truly eye-opening genre entry.
Supercow Review
The sun was shining, the birds were singing, the crops were swaying in the breeze and the farm animals were basking in the beauty of it all. Life in Sunny Valley was good, very good indeed. One day, however, everything changed: the infamous Professor Duriarti escaped from prison. Immediately, the cold-hearted villain seized the humble homestead and incarcerated its inhabitants. All seemed lost!
But then, Supercow caught wind of the dastardly deeds. And, armed with determination, set off on her mission to thwart Duriarti's evil plans and rescue her barnyard buddies. Honestly, she wouldn't be too super if she didn't.
Spinword Review
Do you ever feel guilty while vaporizing aliens or matching colored gems on your computer? At least when you play a word game, you're exercising your brain, allowing you to both have fun and work out your grey matter. While most word games offer the mental equivalent of a relaxing stroll on a treadmill, playing the new Spinword from Slam Games is like setting the machine on overdrive.
Age of Japan Review
Rather than stay safely locked in your cozy, heated home this winter, consider getting out and exploring an ancient land of mystery and wonder instead.
Penguins! Review
Once upon a time there was a popular game called Lemmings that challenged players to herd a pack of furry critters through an obstacle course of sorts without too many of them taking headers off a cliff. It was great fun, but these days penguins seem to be the popular creatures du jour; witness "March Of The Penguins" on the silver screen and now Penguins! on your home screen.
