Curse of Montezuma Review
Alawar's Curse of Montezuma offers a fresh spin on the 3-in-a-row gem-swapping formula by introducing rewards, mini-games, a fun story and memorable characters.
Museum Mystery Review
Oh no! A sly art thief has stolen the world's most recognized and valuable painting. Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa was lifted from the Louvre, so you've been called in as lead detective to solve puzzles and collect clues that can lead to the masterpiece's recovery.
Wedding Dash 2: Rings Around the World Review
Casual game sequels tend to look and play similar to its predecessors, but PlayFirst's Wedding Dash 2 takes the cake, if you can pardon the pun. Despite a few minor additions, this game is virtually identical to the original. To some time management fans this will be just fine, but to others, including yours truly, there is little here to justify the cost. Yes, it's fun and frantic and hard to put down, just like the first Wedding Dash, but those expecting more might decline the invitation to this affair. Think I'm harsh? Download the playable demo to see for yourself and post your comments at the bottom of this review.
The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes Review
While the casual game market is flooded with hidden-object games, very few actually tie in an intriguing story, memorable characters and relevant items to find. While not a flawless adventure, The Lost Cases of Sherlock Holmes does a terrific job with delivering a cohesive interactive detective experience worth investigating.Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express Review
CD-ROM games never die. They are simply reborn as casual game downloads. Such is the case with 1996's Agatha Christie: Murder on the Orient Express, a classic point-and-click adventure game based on the beloved murder mystery novel penned by Agatha Christie.While we admire the game's attractive graphics and atmosphere, the monotonous tasks and some trite puzzles hurt its overall appeal for both adventure gamers and casual players.Caribbean Pirate Quest Review
Ahoy there, casual gamer! If ye enjoy the 'ol match-3 puzzlers you'll want to set sail with Caribbean Pirate Quest, a clever downloadable game that weaves in a treasure hunting component to the core gameplay. Argghhh!Before the game designers at Spell of Play Studios make me walk the plank, here's what you do in the game. You'll start off on the seven seas, and using your mouse you'll click to a spot on the map to sail to, such as a big red "X" on the water that represents a possible treasure spot.Mystery Cookbook Review
It's not because I just returned from visiting Pixar Animation Studios that I find similarities in the story between the animated flick, Ratatouille, and Alawar's new hidden object game, Mystery Cookbook. After all, both follow a mouse/rat who wants to be a skilled chef. Um, sound familiar? While we won't dock points for story unoriginality, we must in the gameplay department, and for other issues, which we'll soon get to.The Price is Right Review
Casual gamer, come on down! You're the next contestant on The Price is Right. Yep, one of the most popular television game shows has gone interactive with Ludia's first computer game offering, The Price is Right, that looks and plays like the real deal - though without Drew Carey or Bob Barker.
