Their first offering in the series is an adaption of the latest Fighting Fantasy book, Blood of the Zombies, written by series co-founder Ian Livingstone.

    By

    Board and card games developed specifically for computers have a mixed history. From the seemingly endless parade of Risk clones found on free gaming sites to imaginative and highly entertaining games like Everlands, they've checked every step on the quality scale. Big Fish Games has recently featured a new entry on the scene, the card game of wizardly duelling, Astral Towers. I got to take it for spin and find out what slot it inhabits.

    Swedish iOS developer Toca Boca has swiftly made a name for itself amongst parents thanks to its delightful range of games and interactive toys for young children. The latest app to join their expanding collection is the music maker Toca Band, and having enjoyed several of their previous offerings with my family, I wanted to know if this orchestra would also hit the right notes.
