Giant Boulder of Death Review
By Joe Jasko
Even if you're the happiest person in the world, there's no avoiding the fact that some days will always be better than others. And on some of those off days, haven't you ever thought of just throwing yourself down a hill and letting your body squash every physical thing that happened to be getting on your nerves? I wouldn't recommend it: I tried that once and just wound up bumping my head against my mailbox. Luckily, Giant Boulder of Death from Adult Swim Games makes this feat a whole lot more rewarding (not to mention safer for your head), as you guide a deadly boulder down an unsuspecting hill just for the sake of destruction.Hit It Rich! Casino Slots Review
By Nick Tylwalk
Like Janet Van Dyne or Ray Palmer, Zynga has been shrinking furiously as of late. But amid office closings and layoffs, the company did snag Spooky Cool Labs during the summer. Even as Zynga has backed away from pursuing real money gaming, its new acquisition has been working on Hit It Rich! Casino Slots for Facebook. So naturally, the result is an online slots experience good enough that people would probably play it for real money. Ironic, no?Polycraft Review
Polycraft combines the simplicity of browser-based gaming with the depth of a persistent strategy world. While the game is entirely controllable by mouse, actions are not limited: players will gather resources, build bases, and take direct part in fast-paced battles that require both forethought and a twitchy trigger finger. After a lengthy and productive beta period, Polycraft is now openly free-to-play via Turbulenz on the Chrome Apps Store. A few rough edges remain, but its world has been highly polished, providing players a beautiful—yet dangerous—island habitat to play with.Wordly Review
By Nadia Oxford
Word games are fun and educational, but they can also be a bit stuffy and predictable. But word fights—ah, that's something else entirely. Wordly by Scopely is a fast-paced, highly competitive word-based puzzle title that's more akin to tug-of-war than Scrabble. And if you don't feel like beating your chest in your friends' general direction, you can have a go at Shakespeare, Mark Twain, or the Wolfman.Call of Duty: Strike Team Review
By Alex De Vore
We'd imagine that gamers accustomed to the increasing quality of this console generation attempting to play toned-down iOS versions of today's most popular games might feel a bit like PC gamers back when the paradigm shifted and television play became more commonplace. It's hard to blame them, as far too often in this industry there are publishers attempting to cash in on the popularity of a franchise by throwing together a ramshackle version of a game and tossing it onto the App Store with little regard to quality or experience. It's sad alright, but the tide may very well be turning thanks to the efforts of—deep breath here—mega-publisher Activision and the release of Call of Duty: Strike Team.Zombie Farm Battles Review
By Andy Chalk
Zombie Farm Battles is an interesting twist on the collectible card battle game genre, not because it manages to make it interesting in some meaningful way - it doesn't - but because of the very simplified, stripped-down approach it takes. It's "Baby's First Collectible Card Game," a CCG for people who can't be bothered to figure out CCGs.Astro Boy Dash Review
Astro Boy is the classic cartoon that old anime-heads reminisce about rushing home from school to watch when they aren't reminiscing about rushing home to watch Speed Racer or Robotech. It's pretty much a futuristic take on the Pinocchio story, featuring a child robot with a blaster in his butt. (That's no joke - he really does have a cannon bolted to his backside, since apparently the lasers built into his arms aren't intimidating enough.) His offensive arsenal doesn't make an appearance in this game, though. Astro Boy Dash, the endless runner from Animoca, is all about avoiding obstacles rather than blowing them to hell.Memoria Review
As one of Germany's top-selling D&D-style board games and an RPG series in its own right, The Dark Eye is ripe with lore and potential for fantastical expansion. Daedalic Entertainment tapped into that rich world with last year's The Dark Eye: Chains of Satinav, transforming it into their signature point-and-click adventure style wrapped in sumptuous hand-drawn visuals. The direct sequel to that excursion, The Dark Eye: Memoria,draws on what made Satinav great and pushes it further, earning a rightful place as one of Daedalic's greatest creations to date.
