    Shadow Fight Review

    By

    Accuse me of hyperbole if you wish, but I haven't been so surprised by a fighting game since I first played Street Fighter II on the SNES back in 1992. That's not because Nekki's Shadow Fight is particularly revolutionary (and, to be sure, most of its charm springs from its successful mimicry of other fighters), but because it's the first Facebook fighting game I've played that actually lets you, well, fight. That fact alone renders this martial arts-based fighter worthy of attention, but its unexpected complexity and undeniable refinement distinguish it as one of the finest Facebook games in recent months.

    HotShot Review

    By

    Peggle is now on Facebook, although chances are that you haven't seen it advertised during your daily bouts with Bejeweled Blitz and Zuma Blitz. Here, it's known as HotShot to its rapidly growing legions of fans, and it was created by a small studio that has nothing to do with PopCap or its wildly popular Pachinko-inspired masterpiece. As we'll see, that's a bad thing. But while such risky copycatting normally makes for a mediocre gameplay experience, PlayQ has pegged down what makes Peggle fun while smartly adapting the game for a social platform. Now we're just eager to see how PopCap responds.

    The Agency: Covert Ops Review

    By

    It's a little-known fact that all spies are actually stunning supermodels who infiltrate enemy bases in between photography gigs for posh magazines. Or, at least, that's the impression one gets from playing The Agency: Covert Ops, the action-packed Mafia Wars-style RPG by Sony Online Entertainment. At first, it's tempting to dismiss this fulsome helping of eye candy as little more than a flamboyant advertisement for Sony's upcoming MMO shooter of roughly the same name, but after only a few frantic player battles and rooftop escapes, it's clear that Sony has created a game worth visiting.
