Indie Pixel Review
By Joe Jasko
Whoever thought that a mass online mobile game about tiny pixels could be both so unique and so endearingly fun? The core of Indie Pixel plays out on a giant game board that looks like a fresh Minesweeper game, or a big sheet of graph paper like the kind you probably used in math class. Your pixel represents a single square on this grid, with a handful of other pixels being controlled by online players from around the world. You move around in the game by simply sliding your finger on the screen to move up, down, left, or right, one block at a time. And if you put in the effort to learn the ins and outs of its premise, the game quickly becomes a truly addictive representation of the way we succeed (or fail) at communicating with others.Teacher Story Review
By Nadia Oxford
In the punishing world of academia, even top students can lose momentum and begin to slack off. And though it may break the professor's heart, he or she will have to break out the red pen and penalize the student's work accordingly. Similarly, it's painful to award Teacher Story with anything less than an A. This web-based strategy game provides a unique experience and wads of hilarious writing, but the mandatory long, long waits in between play sessions bung up the game's final mark.Murder in Provence Review
By John Anthony
Murder in Provence tells the story of a young woman seeking her sister in the south of France. It eventually gets to the whole "murder" plot, but by that time you'll have been put to sleep by the hidden object scenes, hassled with microtransactions, annoyed by expositional dialogue, and nagged with invite screens to the point where you would rather stare at your computer desktop instead of playing the game.Race the Sun Review
By Andy Chalk
Race the Sun is a 3D endless racer that's as simple as it is cool: a high-intensity time trial through a life-or-death obstacle course that's easy to play, wickedly challenging, and devilishly addictive. The game puts you at the helm of an extremely fast solar-powered ship that, although it looks like it could fly, actually just skims across the surface of a strange alien world in a never-ending race against the setting sun.Echoes of the Past: The Kingdom of Despair Review
By Joe Jasko
Echoes of the Past: The Kingdom of Despair is the latest entry in an HOG adventure series whose name emphasizes its many subtle failures: mainly because it feels like we've already been there a handful of times before in the past. At the start of the game, your unnamed character is randomly browsing a bookstore one day, after being intrigued by a magic spell book that is said to be held within. Not even a minute after you get there, a young woman enters the bookstore, activates the spell book, turns into an evil witch, and transports you to her evil lair, where you'll passively try to escape and go home.Gold Diggers Review
With the success of games like Jetpack Joyride, the endless-game-with-currency-and-mini-objectives genre has become quite crowded. As with any artistic medium, when the current ideas start getting hackneyed and derivative, it's time to look underground: in this case, with a drilling machine. Gold Diggers has no half-baked frame narrative to justify what doesn't need justification. Boot up the game and you'll be drilling so fast you'll probably run into an obstacle before you realize the game has started.Terra Monsters Review
By Rob Rich
The creatures of Terra Monsters are quite numerous. The stable of close to 200 monsters to capture and train is probably the game's biggest bullet point, actually. Even bigger than the "massive open world" and "over 100 quests." Unfortunately, it's also the only bullet point that measures up.Chat Fu Review
By Nadia Oxford
Chat Fu by Blot Interactive drives home a point we all learned in grade school: words can hurt. The game plays like an action/fighting title that's been cross-bred with Charades. Chat Fu for Facebook offers a good time with words and flying fists, even if there are some technical issues that foul up the fight a bit.
