    Star Wars Cantina Review

    By

    When I was asked to review a new Star Wars iPhone game, I was thrilled. I don't want to date myself, but I do remember seeing the original Star Wars movie in my youth, and it was an event I'll never forget. So, when a developer takes on the license of a mega-brand that is loved by generations, the expectations for fun are of galactic proportions. Unfortunately, Star Wars Cantina is like one of those movies where you see all of the best scenes in the trailer. Lured by the preview, you sit through the movie, hoping it will get better if you just stay a little longer. Like those disappointing films, Star Wars Cantina does not live up to its famous name.

    Hottie Hookups Review

    By

    I must admit that I didn't expect much when I started playing the Hottie Hookups iPhone game. I thought the name was a little off-putting. My daughter asked to play a game on my iPhone, and she saw the "Hottie Hookups" icon with the word "hottie" written over a big heart. She wondered if it was some sort of dating service (which is something weird for your married mother to be into). I assured her that it was a really fun new game, and now she wants my iPhone all the time so she can play it.

    20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Review

    By

    I was an English Literature major in college. I love books, especially classic novels. In fact, when I'm not playing games on my PC or iPhone in my spare time, you can usually find me curled up in a corner somewhere with my nose in a book. So, when I got the assignment to review a PC game based on one of the great literary classics, 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea by Jules Verne, I set out on my journey with high hopes and great expectations.

    BuzzBee Review

    By

    I'm allergic to bees, so I have to admit playing a game where the lead character is a buzzing bee is a little disconcerting. It's not that I don't like bees. I appreciate their role in nature. I love honey. I just try to stay clear of them for fear of being stung. Trust me; it's no fun to swell up like a balloon. With their new iPhone game BuzzBee, Utopian Games (makers of Tumble Jumble) attempts to prove that bees can be fun when they're safely trapped inside a video game.

    Charmed Review

    By

    I have been known to play Bejeweled for hours, so you might say I have a great affinity for well-designed match three games. (Of course, I like shiny jewels and precious gems too... what girl doesn't?) Mind Juice Media has built a match-3 game around objects that women like me enjoy in Charmed.

    Cubetrix 3D Review

    Over the years, there have been many attempts to push, prod and morph the match-3 game mechanic into different forms to create something magical, but many have failed. While the folks at Mobicle do a yeoman's job trying to invent a different match-3 game with Cubetrix 3D, ultimately it falls a little short.

    Tiki Towers Review

    By

    Maybe it's because I grew up watching those Kurt Russell movies with chimps like The Barefoot Executive, or maybe it's because I used to play Monkeys in a Barrel with my little brother (I usually won) when we were kids. Fact is, monkeys (or chimps) are synonymous with FUN! True to form, the monkeys in RealArcade's Tiki Towers deliver loads of monkey-style humor and merriment.

    Westward Review

    By

    I sometimes wonder what it would have been like to have lived in the Wild West of the 1800's here in my home state of California: the gold rush, the building of missions, and every man for himself. With wonderful games like Westward, I can play cowgirl and never have to worry about getting bit by mosquitoes. Westward is an iPhone version of the PC simulation/strategy game developed by Sandlot Games, although this version was developed by Binoteq.
