    Go-Go Gourmet: Chef of the Year Review

    By

    Tired of time management titles? Had it up to here with hidden object games? Perhaps you should reconsider. Combining the best aspects of both with a reality cooking show-style presentation, Go-Go Gourmet: Chef of the Year resumes where its predecessor left off, serving up a tasty hybrid of gameplay styles.Better yet, while the outing's frantic pacing and occasionally off collision detection will leave you breathless, and not always in a good way, it's still an incredibly easy prospect to swallow.

    Time Quest Review

    By

    Given that the 2008 Olympics are in full swing, it's fitting that new match-three puzzler Time Quest revolves around a contest featuring some of ancient Greece's most notable names. You'll actually compete directly against these personalities, rushing to fill boards with colored tiles before they do. Although the game follows a fairly routine formula, there's nonetheless ample reason to give it a whirl.Per the plotline, told through attractive animated cutscenes, you're an explorer who stumbles upon an aeons-old secret hinted at by your father. Upon finding it, Hermes whisks you back through the ages to play against historical notables in a series of single-screen challenges based around logic and puzzle-solving.

    Oval Office Review

    By

    With the countdown to election season quickly drawing near, it seems like practically everyone's got an opinion (and one they're all too happy to share) on how America should be run. Thankfully for the more outspoken among us, would-be policy makers finally have a chance to put their money where their mouth is with Oval Office.A comprehensive simulation of modern politics and matters of state, the game quickly wows with its detail and depth, even if the scope and difficulty will be hard for the average player to stomach.

    Tropical Mania Review

    By

    The casual gaming field isn't short on time management titles... ditto for those featuring a relaxed, seaside theme. Thus you can imagine our trepidation in approaching the latest oceanfront outing Tropical Mania, which offers less in the way of exciting new features than frantic play and simple thematic charm. Happily, however, solid game mechanics and catchy visuals combine to make the title worth investigating.

    JeweliX Review

    By

    Got a thing for precious stones? Then you're in luck: Mouse-mashing puzzler JeweliX is all about sprucing up an old jewelry store and turning jewels into eye-catching trinkets like rings, necklaces and bracelets. Unfortunately, as good as the game's eye for pairing gems with the right accessories proves, the outing isn't nearly as sharp when it comes to actual play and polish. Bummer.

    Tri-Peaks 2: Quest for the Ruby Ring Review

    By

    If it looks like solitaire and plays like solitaire, it must be... a '40s-style serial adventure? Unexpected perhaps, but that's precisely the case in new epic, globetrotting head-scratcher Tri-Peaks 2: Quest for the Ruby Ring. Taken as a whole, the number-crunching game - which fuses a simple card-counting play mechanic with attractive animations and classic tomb-raiding elements - happily far exceeds the sum of its individual parts.

    Farmer Jane Review

    By

    As popular a theme as agriculture has become with casual game developers lately, you'd think it was the newest pop culture sensation, not a hardscrabble means of eking out a living that's rapidly losing steam in North America. Still, just in case you missed the numerous other rurally-influenced simulations released in the past three months alone, now there's Farmer Jane which, unlike competitors, packs slick 3D visuals.Unsurprisingly for a title that otherwise offers no major innovations, relying instead on a suave presentation and polished play mechanics to carry the day, it quickly proves an endearing choice, if slightly less conducive to long-term play.
