World Train Royale Review

Don't judge a book by its cover. This saying, along with the ability to be patient, should be kept in mind when it comes to World Train Royale, a new game by developer versus-software. The combination of match-3, time management, and tycoon elements surely sounds promising, but as always the mixture of different genres can be a tricky case. While the game is far from perfect, players who enjoy details and a real challenge might still get hooked on it easily.

Constellation Review

If we were to trace casual games back to their roots, then we would certainly come across old standbys like Reversi or Bejeweled. These were games that didn't try to pretend they were anything more than fun, simple diversions. But as history has shown, just because they were simple, didn't mean they were without merit. Constellation, from indie house PaperDragon Games, sets out to prove this same ideal, with pretty decent success.

Dragon Hatchery Review

Baby dragons aren't usually the sort of thing you want to mess around with. They're scaly, bad tempered, and breathe fire when you burp them. And yet, caring for baby dragons can be just as challenging and rewarding as caring for real babies. That's why it's so important that you heed our call to action, taking your rightful place as the nanny in a dragon nursery!  Just like the babies in Dragon Hatchery, this offbeat hybrid match-3/time management game is too endearing to ignore.

Fishdom: Spooky Splash Review

The first Fishdom game made a splash with challenging match-3 gameplay and fishtank decorating, while the sequel, Fishdom H2O, switched over to hidden object gameplay. Both games were well-received by players, but match-3 fans will be happy to know that Fishdom: Spooky Splash has gone back to its match-3 roots. Like the first Fishdom, Spooky Splash has you swapping tiles and earning cash to decorate Halloween-themed fish tanks.
