    Playdom talks upcoming Disney game

    By

    It's been a little while since Disney paid $563 million to acquire Social City developer Playdom. Since that time, Playdom has put out plenty of games on Facebook like Gardens of Time and Gnome Town (to name only a couple of their titles), though everybody just knew that the developer was going to start putting out official Disney games in the near future.

    Monster Burner Review

    By

    Little known fact: there are so many wizards out there in the world that treasure hunting/adventuring is no longer a reliable career. So what's your average spell slinger to do when it's time to pay the rent? Well, there's good money in pest control (which totally makes sense, considering how many giant rats and spiders adventurers often have to kill). Monster Burner, Ubisoft's newest title for the iPad, shows just how much fun being a magical exterminator can be.

    Bring Me Down Review

    What do you get when you combine a hostage in a cage, unsteady towers of blocks, and fresh fruit? When you come from San Francisco — like me — it sounds like someone is asking a question that could lead to a very interesting evening. In the case of Bring Me Down, this is the setup that you're thrust into, and the end result is a game that's much like just such the aforementioned evening: challenging, but probably not for everyone.

    Dark Dot Review

    By

    Evil-doers these days just don't know how to be proper villains. Their schemes are all about revenge, or greed, or they're simply bad guys because life forced some sort of tragedy on them. Nobody is evil for evil's sake anymore. Nobody goes out and tries to just take over the world. That's a shame: conquering the world is becoming a lost art. That's why it's so refreshing to play Dark Dot, a game that not only has you taking over the world, but doing so in style.
