LUXOR Mahjong Review

Mahjong games make for perfect time-wasters: they're easy to learn, relaxing, and can be played for five minutes or five hours.
And so it's no surprise casual game makers are seeking to create the ultimate time-matching experience; some add new twists such as 3-D graphics, power-up tiles and a countdown timer, while others fold in themes, such as the Caribbean, deep space or ancient Chinese history.

Mah-Jomino Review

I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, that yummy mix of chocolate and peanut butter - an awesome confection. But, I find it hard think of them without also reminiscing about that classic Reese's advertisement from the 80's (still running on TV Land) where two distracted pedestrians bump into each other and inadvertently "mix" their treats. Picking themselves up they exclaim, "Hey, you got chocolate on my peanut butter!" and "Hey, you got peanut butter in my chocolate!" Of course, the tasty blend is enjoyed by all.

Such is true with Big Fish Games' and GamesCafe's Mah-Jomino, as well. In this case, however, it's a fusion of Mahjong and Dominoes that makes up the scrumptious goodness.

Caribbean Mah Jong Review

You probably didn't know China and the Bahamas have a lot in common. But after clicking around with Caribbean Mah Jong for a few hours, you'll quickly realize the two gel well together.

Mahjong Match Review

As someone who reviewed the first Mahjong computer game in the mid-1980s, when most people had never even heard of mahjong, I never imagined I'd be reviewing another one 20 years later. Obviously, these ancient tile-matching games, also referred to as Shanghai, fares well in an electronic realm, but with the introduction of Oberon's Mahjong Match, it's not the same old, same old.

Mahjong Escape: Ancient China Review

If you think "T'ang" is an orange drink and "Zhou" is where animals are put on display, you obviously aren't too familiar with Ancient China.
No worries - play a few rounds of Mahjong Escape, and while you won't turn into Confucius overnight, you'll learn a thing or two about Chinese history and be entertained with some relaxing game-play at the same time.
