Jack Keane Review

Mar 16, 2010, 8:55am

3

The Monkey Island series is one of the most loved and charming point and click adventure series of all time, combining quirky humor and traditional gameplay into an engaging overall package. Which is bad news for Jack Keane. Because while the game bares a lot in common with the Monkey Island games, both in terms of its look and style as well as the way it plays, it also fails to muster any of what made them so popular: charm. Instead we're left with a fairly bland and boring adventure that lasts a little too long and is decidedly light on laughs.

Road to Riches 2 Review

2.5

Being a trucker is about a lot more than merely hopping into your rig and taking off across the country with precious cargo in tow. Like any industry, the business of hauling freight is just that: a business. Important decisions all come down to dollars and cents, and keeping the books free of red ink while growing in size and scope is the number one priority. Road to Riches 2 may take a colorful, buoyant, and friendly approach to the world of trucking, but at its heart, it’s a heavy-duty mix of time management and business simulation.

Time Riddles: The Mansion Review

Mar 11, 2010, 12:58pm

1.5

I have to admit I was intrigued by the title Time Riddles: The Mansion and I was eager to explore an old mansion and decipher challenging riddles (as the title implies). However, I was disappointed to find that the only riddle I had to solve was why I was continuing to play a game so poorly executed that it was a chore (rather than a joy) to play.
