Ruzzle Adventure Review
By Nadia Oxford
Learning is fun. Honest. 2012's Ruzzle is one example of a very successful attempt at blending vocabulary and video games, and MAG Interactive's latest, Ruzzle Adventure, demonstrates there are still good times a-plenty to have with letters.Like its predecessor, Ruzzle Adventure primarily revolves around building words from a grid on-screen. You chain letters by swiping up, down, and diagonally - think Bookworm by PopCap (or the original Ruzzle, of course).Every letter contains a point value, with consonants generally being worth more than vowels. Each letter you utilize is added to your overall score. Letters sometimes increase in value the longer they're left on the board, so it's not uncommon for a two-letter word to bring in greater rewards than a five-letter word.CastleStorm Review
By Nick Tylwalk
Remember kids, that while sometimes a girl's tears are just tears, other times they turn into powerful gems that grant unending life and keep the peace between warring kingdoms. It happens, especially in Zen Studios' CastleStorm, a "free-to-siege" blast of ballistas, heroes, magic and mayhem. And if it took the Peace Goddess crying to set it into motion, well, that's just the way it goes.Alas, even the most powerful gems can only keep knights and barbarians from clashing for so long, which is good or else there would be no game to talk about. When CastleStorm begins, you're given command of Sir Gareth, a high-ranking warrior on the side of the knights whose task is to figure out why the barbarians are beating the drums of war again and who has their designs on the gems.Flappy Golf Review
By Nadia Oxford
Cats have nine lives, but birds live forever. At least, that's the impression you might get from the tsunami of Flappy Bird clones that washed onto the App Store and Google Play once Dong Nguyen's original flapper took its leave.Most Flappy Bird clones attempt to carry on what Nguyen began, which is why we have dozens - maybe hundreds - of games about getting a bird (or a fish, or a dragon, or a tiny butt) to fly through various objects. There have been more than enough Flappy Bird facsimiles to fill the void left by the original, but Noodlecake Studios gets a gold star for actually evolving the original Flappy Bird with Flappy Golf.Flappy Golf essentially cross-breeds Flappy Bird's physics with the golf courses from the already-released Super Stickman Golf 2, a hit "extreme golf" game from Noodlecake. But whereas Super Stickman Golf 2 challenges you to hit the ball into the cup, in Flappy Golf, you are the ball (meditate on that, why don'tchya).Knights of Puzzelot Review
By Rob Rich
It would be easy to dismiss Knights of Puzzelot as "just" another match-3 puzzle game, and I Yet while the core mechanics aren't all that different from anything else you might have already played, if you dig a little deeper you'll find a surprisingly addictive little puzzle game/RPG hybrid.Things aren't looking too good after a really big and nasty dragon goes on a rampage and torches the entire kingdom of Puzzelot. Fortunately you're around to fix it all up. As one of the Knights of Puzzelot you'll be able to explore dangerous caverns and spooky dungeons, stumble upon loot, fight monsters, and earn gold.The gold you earn is required for rebuilding the kingdom, and many of the structures you'll be putting back together will allow you to spend your earnings on upgrading your equipment as well. However, unlike some other RPG/match-3 combinations out there, you won't be solving puzzles for every single task. Instead you'll only have to worry about matching up swords, shields, gold, and so on when you're fighting monsters - and trying to open the occasional locked chest.Snoopy’s Sugar Drop Review
The Peanuts gang has been making people smile for more than sixty years now, and Snoopy, its popular pooch, can seemingly sell anything. That's what the Schultz estate and developer Beeline Interactive is banking on anyway, having created a match-three game mobile called Snoopy's Sugar Drop.The Sugar Drop's weakness is its gameplay, which clearly hops on the Candy Crush bandwagon. Its strength, though, is its charming Peanuts-themed aesthetic.The narrative framework for Snoopy's Sugar Drop is a hunt for Snoopy's bow-making sister Belle who has recently gone missing. Players help Snoopy find clues to Belle's whereabouts by matching three or more cute, Peanuts-themed candies. The candies add some much-needed distinctiveness to the game and are cleverly conceived as baseball mitts, footballs, pianos, doghouses and Woodstock-heads. Beeline further augments the Peanuts motif by creating match blockers shaped like crackers and paw prints.The Last Tinker: City of Colors Review
While 3D platformers in the vein of "collectathon" classics like Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 have faded over the past two console generations (if you're looking for slap-stick 3D platformers it's basically just the Ratchet and Clank and the Sly Cooper franchises keeping the tradition alive), there are a number of independent game developers currently working on games designed with this nostalgic style in mind. Leading the charge of the resurgence is Mimimi Productions with their 3D platforming adventure, The Last Tinker: City of Colors.Debatably, what led to the decline of the old collectathon games was how tedious they became after awhile. Finding every golden puzzle piece or golden banana felt like a chore, and players were literally locked out of new areas until they scrapped previous areas clear of these golden collectables. The Last Tinker deals with this issue simply by not forcing players to find the golden paint brushes that are hidden within the game's environments.KeroBlaster Review
By Nadia Oxford
KeroBlaster is a side-scrolling action game designed by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya - the man behind the action indie hit Cave Story. Though it's ten years old, Cave Story is still widely regarded as one of the greatest action games of all time. Concocting a worthy follow-up act couldn't have been an easy task for Amaya, and it probably explains why KeroBlaster has been subject to delays.Happily, KeroBlaster is worth the wait. Though it aesthetically resembles Cave Story, KeroBlaster is unmistakably its own adventure thanks to an emphasis on shooting (tons of it) and jumping instead of exploration.Best of all, the action is driven by what's arguably the most responsive control scheme for a mobile game yet. It's not quite perfect, but it's darn near close.The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 3 – In Harm’s Way Review
By Steven Strom
My biggest issue with The Walking Dead Season Two premiere was how similar it felt to the first season's opener. Clementine started with a companion of sorts, encounters an emergency, meets some people, and then chooses to let one live or die. It had elements that set it apart from Lee Everett's original story, but it largely seemed like Clementine was literally, not just figuratively, mimicking his legacy.Now, between the second and third installments of season two, things have definitely diverged.My description of the first episode mirrors the rest of the game's first season. There was wandering around, getting into bad situations, but not a definite plot. The meandering felt more dramatic and less dramatized. It was a story of survivors simply surviving. The "plot" was Lee and Clem's developing father/daughter relationship, not an external conflict.
