    Guardians of Beyond: Witchville Review

    By

    Another day, another dollar, another town facing disaster thanks to the supernatural shenanigans of a woman with a grudge: that's Guardians of Beyond: Witchville, a new hidden object game that doesn't score any points for originality but still manages to serve up a very enjoyable experience.

    Echoes of the Past: The Citadels of Time Review

    By

    Like solving brain teasers? Have I got a game for you. Echoes of the Past: The Citadel of Time puts up a mess of seriously good puzzle action blended with a healthy shot of great hidden object searching in a game that's not perfect but that does what it does so well, you probably won't even notice.

    Crime Story Review

    By

    It's a classic tale. An immigrant comes to a new land with nothing but the clothes on his back and a determination to forge a better life, one way or another. And so it is in Crime Story, the new social game that challenges you to discover the fate of your missing brother while rising through the ranks of the criminal underworld to become a respected Big Boss. But a classic tale does not a classic game make, and this one turns out to be pretty flat.

    D&D Heroes of Neverwinter Review

    By

    Pencil-and-paper RPGs are perhaps the original "social game," so Dungeons & Dragons and Facebook would seem like a natural fit. And happily, that's about how it works out in the new Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of Neverwinter. It's not perfect, but as an entry level D&D game on Facebook, it's actually pretty good.

    Mystery Legends: Beauty and the Beast Review

    By

    The first hidden object adventure I ever awarded a perfect score was Mystery Legends: Phantom of the Opera, which still stands as the single finest hidden object game I've ever played. So when Mystery Legends: Beauty and the Beast landed in my lap, I was excited but also a little nervous. After all, how do you follow up perfection? It's a tough row to hoe, but Beauty and the Beast comes tantalizingly close to pulling it off.

    Cursed Memories: Secret of Agony Creek Review

    By

    A mine explodes! Somebody drags you out to safety - but then shackles you to the floor! The police arrive to save you - or maybe to kill you! Where are you? Who are you? And what's going on in this weird, empty little town of Agony Creek? It's an interesting set-up and through the early stages of Cursed Memories: The Secret of Agony Creek, I was anxious to get to the bottom of the mystery. But my enthusiasm dimmed somewhat as I played and discovered a game that just isn't quite up to snuff.

    HECTOR: Ep2 – Senseless Acts of Justice Review

    By

    Ballbags! Detective Inspector Hector, the hard-bitten, rough-edged lawman from Clappers Wreake is back for more in Badge of Carnage Episode Two: Senseless Acts of Justice, turning his foul mouth, surly disposition and wanton indifference to the sanctity of human life to the task of figuring out who's terrorizing his wretched, beloved city and putting a stop to it once and for all. It's a crude, lewd and outrageously offensive point-and-click cartoon cop story and for those with a taste for it, it's an absolute pot of comedy gold.
