    Christmas comes to FarmVille with Mistletoe Lane

    By

    Christmas is coming. All the signs are there: The weather is colder, holiday decorations have sprung up in malls like twinkly weeds, coffee shops are pouring gingerbred-flavored everything down our throats, and, perhaps most telling, our favorite digital worlds are getting their annual dusting of snow. One example is Zynga's FarmVille, which will be opening "Mistletoe Lane" later this month.

    What is the best reason to play a puzzle game? To sharpen your mind? To whittle away twenty minutes or so while waiting for the next rebuttal on a Facebook fight you ignited? Or to save animals? If it's not obvious, the third answer is the correct one. After all, if you don't save the wee turtles, who will?

    Merlin: The Game Review

    On the hierarchy of "Rad," wizards rank pretty high, and the great Merlin is the raddest of all. Camelot's magic-slinging human/incubus hybrid features in countless games, shows, and cartoons, so it makes sense that he'd eventually find his way to the social gaming scene. While Merlin: The Game isn't a magical example of an action/RPG, it definitely ranks as one of Facebook's better games. Here be dragons. It's a good thing.

    Battle Sudoku Against Friends Free Review

    By

    Sudoku need not exclusively be the domain of tired-eyed, funny-smelling old men whiling away their bus commute with a newspaper and a pen. Sudoku can be exciting. It can even be cut-throat. Battle Sudoku Against Friends Free demonstrates that there can be bad blood (and land mines) between the lines of the classic Sudoku grid.

    Word Wonders: The Tower of Babel Preview

    By

    Word Wonders: The Tower of Babel is a word game that lets you grow stronger through the power of letters. That doesn't mean you physically fling Scrabble tiles at your rivals, though it does sting when one of those suckers gets in your eye. Instead, you're forced to demonstrate your spelling prowess against dozens of monsters—and man, if there's one thing bad guys don't tolerate, it's a breach of "'I' Before 'E'".

    The mobile format is perfect for tile-based word games, but let's be honest: There's a glut of tile-based word games out there, and it's all getting a little old. If you need a change of pace, you can try to sneak nonsense words like "FOKPOOT" past Words With Friends' in-game dictionary, OR, you can give the tile-based word games a rest and give QatQi (pronounced "cat-key") a try.

    "EEK!" is an apt name for a game about space, especially a game about the things in space that want to smash you into oblivion. No, it's not enough that space detests you for being a living, breathing animal that likes things like regulated temperatures and equalized pressure: Space needs to make sure that it's throwing stuff at you for good measure.

    Skateboarding isn't a crime, man. Free yourself! Grind that rail! Skate or die!—unless, y'know, you don't want to make a fuss or tick anyone off. If you'd like a little warm-up before you spraypaint "NO RULES" on your on board and hit the pavement, you can try out FreeSkate Xtreme for iOS. It's a skating title that you play with your whole body, but if you wipe out you won't leave a streak of your own skin across the pavement. Score!
