    7 Wonders: Magical Mystery Tour Review

    By

    I've sincerely lost track as to how many match-3 games I've played over the years. It's seriously a ton. In the lead-up to playing through7 Wonders: Magical Mystery Tour,my editor told me she had another match-3 game for me if I wasn't sick of them yet. Honestly, I should be - but I'm actually quite the opposite. Sure, it's a well-tread genre, but when match-3 games are done well they can be super compelling. Magical Mystery Tour is one of those games.

    Shantae: Risky’s Revenge Review

    Half-Genie "Shantae" has had an interesting history in videogame form. The belly dancing heroine first appeared on the Game Boy Color, but only well after its successor, the Game Boy Advance, was released. Then last year the follow upShantae: Risky's Revengewas released for the Nintendo DSiWare download store. Now, that game has been ported over to iOS devices, where it finally found a place that someone might actually see it.

    Cradle of Egypt Review

    Oh match-3 games, how can you be so addicting even though you all basically play the same way? It seems no matter how many of them I play I just keep getting sucked in over and over.Cradle of Egyptis really no different; in fact it's very much the same, actually. But in spite of it really just retreading familiar territory (or maybe because of it), I found myself once again sinking more than a few hours into the game.

    When you sit down and think about it, alot of the tropes we take for granted in video games are pretty ridiculous. Shopkeepers refuse to sell you anything until you accomplish some menial task for them, the King refuses an audience until you find some magical item, the guard won't move out of your way to let you leave the area until you satisfy him, etc. We've been playing so long we just accept it. Well, Fara is here to not only make us do all those things, but let us know in the process how goofy that is.

    Arcade Jumper Review

    Arcade Jumper is all about Eddy and his brother, who unfortunately got himself kidnapped and sucked into an arcade cabinet. With NES Zapper in hand, Eddy heads in after him and we guide him through a bunch of old school platforming as he jumps from cabinet to cabinet looking to take down the baddies that took your little bro.

    Frogger Pinball Review

    By

    Video pinball comes in one of two varieties, realistic and fantastic. The realistic ones are the ones that, in theory, could exist in the real world, with layouts and mechanics grounded in reality. Fantastical ones push the limits of imagination, with tables and designs that could never actually exist. Frogger Pinball wanders into fantastical territory, but I wish it would've ventured further. Still, it's a very enjoyable game.

    PES 2012 – Pro Evolution Soccer Review

    By

    I don't make it a practice to review a game by spending most of my time comparing it directly to a different game. But this time out I'm going to make an exception. You see, a few days ago I played and reviewed FIFA 12, and right after it came out Konami released Pro Evolution Soccer 2012. If you release a game that quickly after your competition, then really, you're inviting the comparison. The problem for Konami is that they come up short on just about every point for me.

    FIFA 12 Review

    By

    You know, for a good long time now I've tried to avoid games on my various touch screen devices that have been ports of full-on current console games. A game that runs on an Xbox or PlayStation really doesn't usually benefit by being crammed onto such devices, having the controllers removed and replaced with virtual ones. This philosophy has served me pretty well thus far. FIFA 12, however, is going to make me start changing my tune.
