Pastry Passion Review

3 and half Stars

FOrgive me if I don't come across as an expert in this review. Don't get me wrong; I've played plenty of match-three games. And after watching an endless parade of them hit the market, I sitll enjoy them. It' sjust that I do have a life, and therefore haven't played every single one. So the gameplay in Pastry Passion might not be unique. I don't know. But it is fun.

Wedding Dash 2: Rings Around the World Review

3 Stars

Casual game sequels tend to look and play similar to their predecessors, but PlayFirst's Wedding Dash 2 takes the cake, if you can pardon the pun. Despite a few minor additions, this game is virtually identical to the original. To some time management fans this will be just fine, but to others, including yours truly, there is little here to justify the cost. Yes, it's fun and frantic and hard to put down, just like the first Wedding Dash, but those expecting more might decline the invitation to this affair. Think I'm harsh? Download the playable demo to see for yourself.

While not a flawless adventure, The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes does a terrific job with delivering a cohesive interactive detective experience worth investigating.

The Amazing Brain Train Review
