    Virtual Villagers 2: The Lost Children Review

    By

    I generally don't like to go to sequels of blockbuster movies because my expectations are so high based on the success of the original that I'm almost always disappointed. Well, one of the challenges of writing reviews is that sometimes I'm tasked with judging the pros and cons of an iPhone game that is based on a successful PC/Mac game like Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children. I realize there are really two different audiences to consider: the "fans" and the "newbies."

    Labyrinth Review

    By

    When I was a kid growing up in the 60's and 70's, we didn't have video games to keep us entertained. Instead, we played hide n' seek or freeze tag, and card games and board games when we couldn't go outside. My dad loved "coffee table" games that were not only attractive (they were usually constructed out of wood and polished steel) but also fun and challenging. I remember playing Labyrinth for hours, trying to navigate the little steel ball into the "goal" at the end without letting the ball fall into one of the trap holes.

    Glow Hockey Review

    By

    I remember the first time I played air hockey at an arcade. My brother beat me pretty badly, but that just motivated me to learn the techniques required to win. After several hours, very sore knuckles, and some friendly family competition, I learned to be pretty good at controlling the puck as it slid, high speed across a cushion of air. When I found out that iPhone app Glow Hockey is really just like Air Hockey with fluorescent glowing pieces and parts, my childhood memories came back to me.

    Flick Fishing Review

    By

    Let's admit one thing about mobile games. Sometimes we find ourselves playing them when we should be doing something else. Like in the middle of a meeting - when you're supposed to look like you're checking email or doing something productive - but you're really just trying to sneak in a few extra minutes playing your favorite game on your phone. Well, let me warn you right now - Flick Fishing is NOT a game you can play without everyone knowing what you're doing.

    Enigmo Review

    By

    Enigmo is a beautiful looking game. The "Rube Goldberg" style graphics are fun and inventive and remind me of the inner workings of an elaborate set of pipes in an inventor's laboratory. The physics of how things work are interesting, surprising, and sometimes mesmerizing. With all of the effort put into the art and graphics, I only wish the developer, Pangeasoft, had done more testing of the actual gameplay, which I found often very difficult and frustrating.

    Airport Mania: First Flight Review

    By

    I have to admit I'm not a fan of airports. Fighting for an overpriced parking space, disrobing for a perfect stranger at security, and being herded on to a cramped airplane are just not my idea of a good time. So, when I saw the title Airport Mania: First Flight I was skeptical that one of my least favorite places could be turned into the setting for a fun game. But my fears quickly subsided as I began to play the iPhone version of this highly addictive, instantly adorable multi-tasking (time management) game from Reflexive Entertainment.

    Agents of Interpol Review

    There's nothing like curling up by the fire with a good mystery novel on a dark, rainy night. I love trying to figure out which clues lead to evidence and which trails are red herrings. So, naturally, I was intrigued when I saw the screenshots of TikGames' hidden object game Agents of Interpol.

    Awakening: The Dreamless Castle Review

    By

    Who doesn't love a good 'damsel-in-distress-in-a-castle' story? Awakening: The Dreamless Castle borrows its storyline from a variety of classic fairytales such as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White (dwarves are replaced with goblins), and Rapunzel. So, if you enjoy exploring medieval castles, solving perplexing puzzles, perusing richly drawn scenes and reading a classic fairytale story, this is a game you'll want to check out.
