    Temple of Mahjong Review

    By

    Temple of Mahjong is a fairly standard little mahjong game for Facebook that uses collecting and unlockables to help encourage users to replay frequently. You begin with only four tilesets and three layouts to play with, but you unlock either a new tile or a new layout (sometimes both) every time you complete a session. Where most mahjong games focus on clearing a board, Temple of Mahjong is built around trying to get a high score before your allotted time runs out. Certain tiles grant bonuses when matched, so you can rack up extra-high scores by making tile matches rapidly during the bonus period.

    Tradewinds Review

    By

    TradeWinds is a pirate-themed game that blends treasure-hunting, exploration, and combat…which is a little odd to see just a week after Playfish shut down the similarly-themed Pirates Ahoy. TradeWinds is about what you'd expect out of pirate-themed games on Facebook now, full of fights with rivals and chances to scour deserted islands for lost treasure. It also features some less typical gameplay elements, including the ability to travel between island cities buying and selling goods. It's a game that makes good use of the pirate theme without feeling like a complete rehash of other pirate games.

    Munchies’ Lunch Review

    By

    Munchies' Lunch is a pleasant surprise as casual puzzle games go, offering gameplay with actual depth and a family-themed story that has actual heart. In Munchies Lunch, you play the matriarch of a family of bouncing cartoon heads that must skillfully outwit enemies as she tries to gather food and water. Her family is on the run from monsters who've driven them out of their forest home in a scenario that is inspired by Footloose Games President Vlado Jokic's youth escaping from the Yugoslavian civil war.

    TinierCafe Review

    By

    TinierCafé is a simple but very attractive restaurant sim that is something of a Trojan Horse. Though it appears to simply be a game that's a little late to the café game rush, it's actually a spinoff of a virtual world available on Facebook called TinierMe. TinierCafé uses a shared TinierMe account system and uses the virtual world's distinctive avatars, the anime-style Selfys. The game seems indicated both to help draw new users to TinierMe and perhaps as a game to occupy already-registered TinierMe users, since the game also shares TinierMe's cash-based virtual currency.

    Pac-Man S Review

    By

    It may be time for all the other Facebook developers to go home (barring, perhaps, PopCap). In terms of concept, Pac-Man S is such a perfect Facebook game that it's hard to imagine how anything else could compete. Pac-Man S uses a Bejeweled Blitz-like format where you attempt to get the highest score possible in two minutes of play. As your score increases, the game becomes faster-paced and more challenging. Players can opt to spend a virtual currency called points on up to two power-ups from a group of four to customize the experience.

    Zoo-Opolis Review

    By

    Zoo-Opolis is a game that feels unstuck in time. Two years ago, it would've been at the cutting edge of Facebook game design. Right now, it feels a bit quaint. Zoo-Opolis is an entry in the crowded genre of zoo-themed Facebook games that blend virtual pet gameplay with management sim elements. In Zoo-Opolis, you're trying to build a diverse, high-ranked zoo by creating lots of enclosures that play host to many different species of animals. As you can afford to breed and display a greater number and variety of animals, your zoo rating goes up.

    My Superkid Review

    By

    Just when you think a Facebook genre has peaked, some developer finds a way to bring it back with little more than a clever twist to the presentation. My Superkid is a take on the virtual pet genre that removes the pets. It replaces them with a fanciful but perfectly satisfying premise where you're either raising or becoming (it's unclear) a child superhero who saves people from whimsical threats by growing golden superpower fruits and playing arcade-style mini-games. Bright and well-designed 2D animations give the graphics, and the game itself, much of its appeal.

    Trials of Elsword Review

    By

    The problem with a lot of Facebook MMOs is that they ultimately feel like trials or demos for the client-based versions of the same games, rather than sincere attempts to make an enjoyable social MMO. The Facebook version of these games often lack features available in versions that are client-based or directly browser-based, like fullscreen graphics and more control customization. Trials of Elsword takes this approach to a whole new level, literally acting as nothing more than a way to promote downloads of the client-based MMO Elsword.
