Etch A Sketch Review

Who could forget the beloved 50-year-old children's toy, Etch a Sketch. You know, that rectangular red and grey gizmo that lets you unleash your creativity by using knobs to draw horizontal and vertical lines on a blank screen, and then shake it to start over? Now you can download a digital version of this classic toy, which goes above and beyond the original in the gameplay department.

Treasure Masters, Inc. Review

When you think about hunting for hidden treasure, you're probably picturing a dashing archaeologist like Indiana Jones. Despite the romance of outrunning giant boulders and pits of snakes, most amateur treasure hunters rely on simple shovels, metal detectors and diving rods to seek out their miniature fortunes. Treasure Masters, Inc. is a hidden object adventure that takes players across 48 levels, including numerous inventory-based puzzles and just under a dozen mini-games. You won't even get dirt under your fingernails.

Puzzle Hero Review

Combining match-three puzzle solving with a rich fantasy role-playing infrastructure was a stroke of genius that produced one of the most unique and compelling puzzle games in recent memory. I'm talking, of course, about Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords. Clearly created in Puzzle Quest's image, Puzzle Hero is a much-simplified romp by comparison, whose goal seems to be to dumb down the Puzzle Quest foruma for those who may have found the game's Dungeons & Dragons-style game mechanics intimidating.

Ranch Rush Review

When it comes to time management games, farming is quickly becoming as popular as food and fashion. But as saturated as the farm theme is becoming, Ranch Rush proves that there's always room for one more - provided the game is as good as this one is.

Sunshine Acres Review

Want to work on a farm? Given the number of farming games we've seen lately, this seems to be a popular idea... at least with game developers. If you're up for another one, or just like wearing overalls and a straw hat, Sunshine Acres is a time management farming game that has you raising fresh veggies to keep your litle plot growing.

Dam Beavers Review

Dam Beavers is a study in unfulfilled potential. Great word games don't come along very often - it's tricky to make a game that provides an interesting challenge to word lovers while still being accessible to those with less extensive vocabularies - but Dam Beavers might have been such a game if not for a few fatal flaws.
