Hotel Mahjong Review

Casual gamers who played last year's Hotel Solitaire might get a sense of deja vu while entering the lobby, elevator and hallways of Hotel Mahjong, as this is the second in the series from Zylom to fuse a luxurious stay at a hotel/casino and classic solitaire games. But don't worry - the similarities end once you step into a hotel room to begin hitting the tiles.

Delicious 2 Deluxe Review

Thanks to the rise of culinary TV programs, cookery and catering have well and truly entered the mainstream, shedding the old fashioned image of chain smoking chefs with fake French twangs and battleaxe middle aged ladies pummeling pastry to within an inch of its life with rolling pins. Unsurprisingly, the games industry has been quick to catch on and in Delicious 2 Deluxe, we have another in a long line of colorful, multitasking restaurant sims.

Safari Island Deluxe Review

It's sometimes difficult to tell one mah jong game from the next since many of them stick closely to the appearance and rules of the original ancient Chinese tile-matching pastime. While there's nothing wrong with re-creating the classic mah jong experience, Zylom earns kudos for breaking a whole lot of new ground with Safari Island Deluxe.

Yahtzee Review

It's hard to screw up a computerized version of Yahtzee. Translate the rules, render decent graphics, make sure the interface is clean, and you've done your job. What isn't easy, however, is creating a digitized version of the Milton Bradley classic that adds cool twists without losing the heart of what makes the real world version enjoyable. The good news is, Zylom has done just that with its new Yahtzee offering for casual gamers.

Shogun Sudoku Deluxe Review

Its been said the first 15 minutes of a game is the most critical - after all, we all know how important first impressions can be.

While Shogun Sudoku Deluxe is an entertaining and challenging puzzle game, it doesn't follow the aforementioned rule. In fact, the first few minutes are rather bland and predictable. Thankfully, it's not indicative of the entire game.

Mahjong Fortuna 2 Deluxe Review

Not too many games teach you about yourself, but this is precisely what Mahjong Fortuna 2 Deluxe sets out to do - this tranquil tile-matching game separates itself from the many other Mahjong titles on the market by giving players personalized information, such as horoscope, birth stone and flower, element, and more.
