Weather Lord Review
If there's one thing man can't control, it's the weather. That may be the case in the real world, but in Alawar's newest time management game Weather Lord (or is it Weather Master? That's what it's called on the title screen), you're given the chance to take over for Mother Nature, and will be able to help humans grow fertile crops, repair destruction left behind by other weather events and more. Unfortunately, the game's inconsistent name is the least of its problems.
Abandoned: Chestnut Lodge Asylum Review
In Abandoned: Chestnut Lodge Asylum, you're immediately thrown into the shoes of an average citizen suffering from recurring nightmares. Always, the threat is the same: you see yourself falling down an elevator shaft while being chased by an unknown entity in a seemingly abandoned mental institution. When suddenly it appears your dream has become real, however, you set out to investigate the cause of it all.
Snark Busters: High Society Preview
In the highly anticipated third installment in the Snark Busters franchise, we'll dive into highfalutin world of "high society," where scandal and revenge are just as adored as money.
Cooking Academy 3: Recipe for Success Review
Picking up where Cooking Academy 2: World Cuisine left off, Cooking Academy 3: Recipe for Success sees our hero returning to their roots at the Cooking Academy after having won 1 million dollars in the Annual World Culinary Workshop. Your new goal is to create a cookbook filled with the best recipes the world has to offer, and you'll need the help of the academy's many skilled chefs to do just that. It's just unfortunate that the gameplay hasn't picked up much originality along the way.
Secrets of the Seas: Flying Dutchman Review
Secrets of the Seas: Flying Dutchman may look like your average tale of ghostly pirates on the high seas, but its great use of color makes the game very visually appealing, and its linear, laid back challenge will appeal to those looking for more casual entertainment than difficulty. Can you help the trapped souls on the Flying Dutchman before you are lost forever among them?
Jewel Legends: Tree of Life Review
The world of the Hods, a tree-dwelling forest species, is being threatened; their precious Tree of Life is dying, taking their home along with it. It will be up to you to complete Jewel Legends: Tree of Life's 100 levels to rebuild the Hods' world and restore their culture before it's too late. Unfortunately, the game never really lives up to its promise or potential for depth.
Hidden Mysteries: Return to Titanic Review
As we acknowledge the 100-year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we find game developers walking a fine line between creating a game that's respectful to the real lives lost and also entertaining to play. With Hidden Mysteries: Return to Titanic, the gameplay allows you to explore the Titanic both before and after its demise, but the story is such that the game could have taken place anywhere, making the Titanic setting seem more like an afterthought than a necessity.
