    Fallen Realms Review

    By

    Like a vacuous reality television star, the Android RPG Fallen Realms is pretty to look at and seems like it'd be a lot of fun to play with. But once you start paying attention to it, the truth comes out: for all its good looks, it's about as deep and engaging as a puddle on the sidewalk, and after a few minutes you're probably going to start wondering what you ever saw in it.

    Nightfall Mysteries: Black Heart Review

    By

    The Vansig family just can't stop being evil, and they've come back for yet another round of dastardly shenanigans in Nightfall Mysteries: Black Heart, the third tale of the clan of no-goodniks and the helpless cheese-eaters who rely on you to put a stop to it. But despite the promise of simmering malevolence it's actually a rather dull affair: a flat, faux-creepy adventure that achieves mediocrity and nothing more.

    Sandago Review

    By

    Sandago is weird. It's simple. There's no real variety to the gameplay, and it's not much to look at. It's almost primitive, really. It's also very cool. Don't let first appearances fool you - this is definitely a game worth checking out.

    Little Empire Review

    By

    Little Empire is good stuff. It's not great - it's too simplistic and slow for that - but it's fun, easy to play, won't take up too much of your time, and even has a hint of addictiveness to it. If you've got an itch for a casual Facebook-style strategy/world-building game, then this might be the fix for what ails ya.

    Majesty: Northern Expansion Review

    By

    Majesty: The Northern Expansion is a phenomenal game. If you're a strategy fan, you might as well save yourself a few minutes and just go get it now, because that's going to be the wrap-up at the end of this review: buy this game. And if you're not a strategy fan, this real-time strategy/kingdom-building hybrid might just make you one.

    Bingo Heaven Review

    By

    Bingo Heaven is deceptive. I dismissed it almost immediately as simple and dull during my first playthrough, but by the time I had ten rounds under my belt I was reading the numbers out loud, jabbing my thumb at the screen and getting far more entertainment out of it than I ever would have expected from a silly little Bingo game.

    Haunted Past: Realm of Ghosts Review

    By

    Some games just have it - that magical brew of elements that makes a flawed game good, and a good game great. Haunted Past: Realm of Ghosts, alas, is not one of those games. Most of the pieces are there, but they're brought together in such a perfunctory manner that the final product never manages to be more than unremarkably decent.

    Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen Review

    By

    Blue Tea Games has done it again with Dark Parables: Rise of the Snow Queen, the latest fairy tale to be turned on its ear with a dark and sinister "re-imagining" as a hidden object game. In this version, the Snow Queen threatens to entomb the whole world in the dead grip of winter, and only you can stop her. But before you can figure out how she's going to do it, you'll have to untangle why. Will you be able to discover her secrets before it's too late?
