Preview: Penguins!

Who doesn't love penguins? They're cute, walk funny and look like they're wearing tiny tuxedos. Heck, they've even taken over Hollywood, be it staring in the March of the Penguins, Madagascar or in Eight Below. Well, now you can have some fun helping out these hapless waddlers in an upcoming casual game from Wild Tangent -- and Gamezebo scored a sneak peek for you. It's all here in black and white (sorry, couldn't resist). Read more»

If you thought waitressing at a greasy spoon restaurant was challenging, wait until you have to serve potions to demanding witches and mages. Such is the fantastic premise behind Mystic Inn, a new casual game download from the savvy game makers at Big Fish Games. Read more»

Diner Dash 2: Restaurant Rescue Review

4 Stars

Lately, there's not a waitress alive who wouldn't love to have me as a customer: I'm the guy who's polite, never asks for a substitution, and tips 35 percent. What's turned me into the best table of the night, every night? The culprit is more than a few hours of PlayFirst's Diner Dash 2, which has taught me just how hard food service industry folks are working for their money. Read more»

Garden Dreams Review

4 Stars

Toybox reaps what it sows with this engaging take on the gardening game. Perhaps 2006 is the year of plowing dangerously, but in just a few short months, we've seen the release of (not one, but) two gardening themed games. At first glance, Plantasia from PlayFirst and Garden Dreams by Toybox seem very similar. Both feature gardening as an activity that you're trying to do in order to help someone out. Both have seeds, watering systems, pests and fertilizer/insecticide. But, that's where the similarities end. Read more»

BreakQuest Review

3 and half Stars

In the relatively young medium of the video game, the break-the-bricks game is one of the oldest genres out there. It's also one of the most replicated, with slightly altered versions appearing on nearly every device that can play games.

Cake Mania Review

4 Stars

The mom and pop business is a dying breed in this age of MegaMart homogenization. Today's victim is the small bakery, where the smell from the sidewalk is enough to lure you in to a world of tempting treats you can't get anywhere else. Sandlot Games' Cake Mania makes this classic David and Goliath story personal: you play the role of Jill in this tasty new flavor of Diner Dash-style gameplay. Read more»
