Fish Tycoon Review

Taking care of fish seems to be a popular theme in the casual gaming space, be it feeding fish in Insaniquarium! or fending for yourself in the big blue in Feeding Frenzy 2.

And now we have Fish Tycoon, which is really a few games in one download.

Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects Review

Creating a successful sequel is a difficult thing, whether following up a hit album, making a movie (did we really need Basic Instinct 2?), or creating a casual game. Simply putting a new look on the original won't work, but straying too far from what made the original successful risks alienating your core fanbase.

I'm pleased to report that while the folks at Big Fish Games moved VERY quickly in releasing their sequel to the successful Mystery Case Files: Huntsville, they got nearly everything right in this sequel, Mystery Case Files: Prime Suspects.

Garden Dreams Review

Toybox reaps what it sows with this engaging take on the gardening game.

Perhaps 2006 is the year of plowing dangerously, but in just a few short months, we've seen the release of (not one, but) two gardening themed games. At first glance, Plantasia from PlayFirst and Garden Dreams by Toybox seem very similar. Both feature gardening as an activity that you're trying to do in order to help someone out. Both have seeds, watering systems, pests and fertilizer/insecticide. But, that's where the similarities end.

Puppy Luv Review

Imagine buying a cute little puppy for less than $20. Better yet, you'll never have to replace a chewed-up couch, take him for a walk in the rain or pick up his poop.

Sounds good, doesn't it?
