    Sudoku for Dummies Review

    By

    Whenever I'm on the subway, I always see someone with a folded up newspaper, pen in hand, veins popping out of their forehead, trying to scrawl numbers into a grid - they're playing Sudoku. While I understood the basics of how to do it, I have to admit I never understood the point of the challenge, or how to even begin. Sudoku for Dummies is here, but will it make me a logic whiz?To briefly summarize, the point of Sudoku is to fill in the numbers one through nine in each of the nine three-by-three squares (making a large grid of 81 spaces). Each number can be written only once per square, and only once per row or column across all squares. Simple, right? How wrong I was.

    Nancy Drew Dossier: Lights, Camera, Curses! Review

    By

    Her Interactive's Nancy Drew series is known for having games that are well-made, well-written and well-acted, and contain some good head-scratching puzzles. After 19 games, the developer is taking Nancy Drew to another exotic locale: the hidden object genre.The first game in the new Nancy Drew Dosser series, and the first game designed specifically with the PC download market in mind, Lights, Camera Curses! diverts significantly from its point-and-click roots, but keeps enough in common with the first series to make it feel both fresh and familiar.

    Top Chef Review

    By

    Cooking games, pioneered by the likes of Cooking Mama and Hot Dish, are nothing new. But Top Chef, based on the hit reality TV show, dares to do something different by tasking players to actually create dishes instead of simply following recipes. But does it succeed, or is it a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth?For those unfamiliar with the Top Chef TV show, amateur chefs compete against each other in a variety of cooking challenges including Quickfire (preparing dishes with specific criteria ) and Elimination (cook your heart out, making multiple courses). These dishes are judged and scored, and the chef with the lowest score "packs their knives" and heads home.

    Piddlepup Pirate Poker Review

    By

    In Las Vegas, one of the gambling meccas of the world, there are a ton of ways to lose your money, or risk it all for that big win. On a recent trip there, I noticed that one of the more popular methods to lose your cash is video poker, where I saw people sitting there in front of those blinking terminals for hours on end at all times of the day, hoping for the computer to generate a wining hand. If this activity sounds appealing, then Piddlepup Pirate Poker is for you. If not, then you may want to think twice before downloading.

    Jungle Quest Review

    By

    In the match-three market, it takes a strong, unique idea or mechanic to really stand out, and Jungle Quest, the latest puzzler from Friday's Games, just might have it. Unfortunately, though, it's hampered by some quality issues.First, a disclaimer: Jungle Quest is actually a re-release of Curse of Montezuma. Same developer and publisher, same game, different name. If you've played Curse of Montezuma already, then there is absolutely NO REASON to download this carbon copy. If you haven't, then read on:

Like all other titles in the series, Nancy finds herself in an exotic locale and gets in too deep with a mystery, while meeting a cast of suspicious characters along the way.
