    LUXOR: Quest for the Afterlife Review

    By

    More of the same: That's the immediate impression returning fans will get from Luxor: Quest for the Afterlife, latest in the popular Egyptian-themed action-puzzle series. In an unexpected twist, this installment mostly focuses on peripheral features, adding a cool narrated storyline, roving targets to pursue and collectible artifacts. Therefore, while still impressive in its own right, the game's nowhere near as much of a leap forward as its immediate predecessor.Don't be discouraged, however. Kicking off with a bang in the form of catchy cutscenes complete with suave voice-overs and subtle, but engaging animations, the title instantly commands one's attention.

    The Color of Murder: A Carol Reed Mystery Review

    By

    The way we see it, there's only one hue instantly associable with whodunits: bright, sticky crimson. According to Mikael Nyqvist and MDNA Games' latest Carol Reed adventure, The Color of Murder (fifth in the series and a standalone tale unto itself), though? Bright pastel hues, dark shadows and brilliant outdoor scenes awash in greens and sky blues.One of the more compelling yarns in the franchise, solid storytelling, a catchy cast of characters and pleasing variety of head-scratching mindbenders help offset a high difficulty level to satisfy current fans and newcomers alike.

    Forgotten Lands: First Colony Review

    By

    At face value, it would seem like an impossible task: To create a deep, yet wholly accessible real-time strategy (RTS) game allowing even novice players to colonize entire realms. Yet that's precisely the subtle balance that Forgotten Lands: First Colony manages to strike, offering an incredibly rich, yet immediately intuitive exercise in settlement building.Featuring a catchy theme, user-friendly controls and lots of thought-provoking challenge, it's held back from greatness only by a middling presentation, sluggish pacing and a more complex setup than beginners may be accustomed to.

    Casebook, Episode I Review

    By

    Casebook doesn't just combine the best elements of both the hidden object and adventure game genres into one intriguing whole, couched in darker, more mature trappings than the average mainstream offering. It also introduces special technology that allows you to wander videotaped crime scenes, complete with real-life actors and locations, as if you were actually an investigator taking part firsthand in an episode of Bones or CSI.

    Townopolis Review

    By

    Construction simulations are all the rage lately, helping to prove that literally every genre - real-time strategy included - can benefit from a casual-minded extreme makeover. Townopolis certainly swears by this theory, reducing the core number of resources you must manage to just two (materials and workers). Unfortunately for aspiring foremen though, a weak presentation and tons of inherent drudgery serve to undermine what could otherwise be considered a strong foundation on which to build.
