Deep Sea Deli Review
By Nadia Oxford
Narwhals are the Jedi of the sea, and they're also pretty darn good at making sandwiches. Deep Sea Deli by PlayFirst is an iOS puzzle game that shows off the aquatic species' lesser-known talent at assembling bacon, ham, and bread into something magically delicious. Like a solid BLT, Deep Sea Deli seems unimpressive at first taste, but after you take a couple of mouthfuls, you begin to enjoy how nicely all the ingredients come together.FREEQ Review
By Joe Jasko
I was pretty intrigued by the concept of FREEQ when I first had a chance to preview the audio adventure game for Gamezebo last week, and I loved the emphasis that Psychic Bunny put on the mysteriousness of those old radio detective shows from the early twentieth century. But how does the ambitious radio frequency storytelling hold up now that I've had a chance to listen in on the future for myself?Bird Mania Review
By Joe Jasko
When Bird Mania was first released on the Nintendo 3DS eShop almost a year ago today, it received mix reviews from fans and critics alike. While some applauded the sharp visuals and fast gameplay, others criticized the severe lack of things to do in the game. Unfortunately, not much seems to have changed in this iOS port. At its core, Bird Mania is a simple endless runner game, but one that shows us that sometimes simple isn't always necessarily better.Fitness Bustle: Energy Boost Review
By Brandy Shaul
While games in the time management genre obviously challenge you to manage your time, there are also sub-genres within this space for players that want to focus on either strategy or speed. Strategy games may see you balancing the use of resources and workers, but Fitness Bustle: Energy Boost falls into the other category, as this is one game focused solely on speed.MANUGANU Review
TV Tropes defines Master Higgins Syndrome (named after the protagonist of the Adventure Island series) as an in-game compulsion to consume or die. I define it as an overwhelming urge to play Alper Sarikaya's addictive island themed runner, Manuganu. Of course, I wouldn't have died if I hadn't, but life's a bit nicer now that I have.Bookworm Heroes Review
By Nadia Oxford
The problem with the free-to-play (FTP) model is not that it exists. The problem is that some publishers who are in love with FTP implement the system in a manner that screws the player instead benefitting him or her. PopCap's Bookworm Heroes is one example of a great game that's dragged down by its FTP elements. It's too bad we can't just pay $1.99 and avoid stressing out over coins, pets, heroes, and the rest of it.Lumber Jacked Review
One might think that with their shared interest in deforestation, lumberjacks and beavers would be natural allies. However, as Lumber Jacked makes perfectly clear, their relationship is more of a bitter and violent rivalry.Anodyne Review
Describing the indie creation of two-man team Sean Hogan and Jon Kittaka requires more than a single comparative line, and much more to understand it. I'm still working on understanding it. But the experience of Anodyne is The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening set inside a Hieronymus Bosch triptych. While much of the adventure is surreal and abstract self-reflection, just as much is cemented in the concrete gaming mainstays of monster slaying, item collection, and puzzle solving.
