Happily, according to pleasing new action-puzzler Gold Rush - Treasure Hunt, there's never been a better time to find it as well. Having ventured deep within the title's computerized caverns, we concur: While not the most frantic or captivating of its breed, the game nonetheless proves fun and challenging, especially when enjoyed in short spurts.

Forgive me if I don't come across as an expert in this review. Don't get me wrong; I've played plenty of match-three games. And after watching an endless parade of them hit the market, I still enjoy them. It's just that I do have a life, and therefore haven't played every single one. So the gameplay in Pastry Passion might not be unique. I don't know. But it is fun.
Pastry Passion - the new game from GameHouse and RealArcade - will be launching mid-May and we got our hands on some screenshots to whet your appetite (literally).
