    Crime Solitaire Review

    By

    Many times when I play casual card or puzzle games, I just get stuck on how tacked on the story feels. Although players expect their games to have a plot, some types of games just don't lend themselves to it. For instance, what does solving superficial crimes have to do with playing solitaire cards? I have no idea, but Crime Solitaire tries to connect the dots.

    Punch a Hole Review

    By

    There's something oddly satisfying about literal titles for games. They cut through the cheekiness of trying to be cute and witty and just get to the point. You know what you're buying from title alone. Don't get me wrong - I love games like Canabalt and Solipskier, but seriously, what the heck do those titles tell you about what's going on? With so many dense/funny/obscure names for games out there, you gotta love the simplicity of puzzle game Punch a Hole.

    Dead Escape Review

    By

    Imagine you find yourself heading out in the middle of the night to this the all-night convenience store cause you just NEED to grab detergent and cereal. After fumbling up and down the aisles to find your items and dealing with an owner who's accent can be most accurately described as "foreign," a news story pops up on the news about some sort of attack where the dead get up and walk. Naturally you don't believe it and go to leave, only to have a zombie pop up in front of you! Happens all the time right?

    Demolition Master 3D Review

    By

    A few nights ago I was talking to a friend of mine and just happened to mention how much I enjoy explosions and puzzle games, and wondered why there weren't more games to mix these two totally different elements into a nice portable package. Well, just my luck - someone else had the same thought and has just released Demolition Master 3D, a game that actually bases a puzzle game around construction site explosions.

    Galaxy Express Review

    By

    The gameplay of Galaxy Express doesn't bring anything new to the table really for the puzzle genre. You need to guide your ship from point A to point B by placing arrows on a grid map to make your ship turn or change direction to avoid obstacles. The PC game Rush and the old Sega game ChuChu Rocket instantly spring to mind, and I'm sure there are more like those as well - but that doesn't mean it's not fun.

    Treemaker Review

    I wonder sometimes where people come up with the inspiration for some of these weird iOS games. Here's a game about swinging from platform to platform, timing jumps to grab some itemsm and reaching the end. So where in that process does the guy swinging get vines coming out of his body to swing on, leaving a trail of trees behind him where ever he stands?

    Master Dealer Review

    By

    Master Dealer takes the strategy card game genre and tosses out the seemingly standard fantasy theme in favor of a mob vibe where you're sending thug, lord, and boss cards against opponents for territory control. Like other CCG games you'll manage your deck and buy new cards (or packs of cards) similar to something like Magic: The Gathering.

    O-G Sokoban Review

    By

    With these puzzle games the interest derived from playing them is not what the game gives you to work with but what it holds back and limits you on. In Tetris the pieces fall randomly; in Bejeweled jewels can only be swapped horizontal or vertically, Mahjong tiles need to be picked up in pairs and be "free," and so on. O-G Sokoban hinges its gameplay on that limiting factor as well, but could have benefitted from a greater sense of challenge.
