Flower Stand Tycoon Review

One doesn't generally think of flower stands and business tycoons in the same breath. When I think of mobile florists, I generally picture barefoot peace-loving hippies standing on the corner selling bouquets. This isn't that type of flower stand - oh, no. It's a chic urban floral business with some hefty profits to be made. That's not a surprise after all, since the game is called Flower Stand Tycoon and not Flower Stand Subsistence Farm.

Interpol: The Trail of Dr. Chaos Review

With hidden object games now so prolific that they constitute an entire genre, from haunted houses to fabulous vacations and even weddings and honeymoons, you'd think developers would've exhausted every possible theme such titles could feature.

Merriam Webster's Spell-Jam Review

I'll never forget flipping through the TV channels one afternoon and coming across a televised National Spelling Bee for middle-school children. An hour later I was still transfixed to the screen like a sports fan whose team is fighting for its life in the finals, cheering every time my star player spelled a word correctly to advance another round, and biting my nails anxiously every time she hesitated.

Wobbly Bobbly Review

Everyone loves dessert - unless, of course, you live in the sleepy little town where action-packed puzzler Wobbly Bobbly is set. For the residents of this quiet hamlet, about to be overrun with delicious, gelatin-based goop, it's a potential nightmare, in fact. Thankfully, that's where you come in, taking on the role of a cute little metallic robot tasked with keeping the burg from being overrun. It's a dirty job, certainly. However, trust us when we say that, at least for the first hew hours, you'll have a good time doing it.

Flower Shop Review

Most games require fast thumbs, but in Flower Shop, you need only a green one.

After Meg has a hard day at a noisy design firm in the city, she exits the building, screams, and sits down on a park bench amid the traffic and construction noises. What's this? A newspaper advertising a florist shop for sale on a remote island? Just what the doctor ordered.
