Hamster Cannon Review
By Mike Thompson
Let's be honest about something: If you ever owned a hamster (or any other small rodent), there was a least one time when you fantasized about dressing them up in little outfits and making them look even more adorable than they already were. Don't even bother trying to deny this— we all did it. Of course, 99% of us weren't able to take these dreams any further than idly sketching them out on paper, but the new game Hamster Cannon provides an opportunity to see just what said hamsters would've looked like in goofy little outfits… and then, y'know, shot out of an equally tiny cannon.

Ghost Towns: The Cats of Ulthar Review
By Neilie Johnson
For a while now, hidden object games have been tapping literary classics for inspiration—witness the Mark Twain and Edgar Allan Poe-inspired titles. With the trend well-established, it was only a matter of time before someone attempted to turn writer H.P. Lovecraft's creepy yarns into hidden object adventures, and Ghost Towns: The Cats of Ulthar valiantly makes that attempt. Unfortunately due to its often monotonous gameplay, the game doesn't quite pull it off.
