    Mystery Stories: Mountains of Madness Review

    By

    I have never read H.P. Lovecraft's novel At the Mountains of Madness, but after playing through Mystery Stories: Mountains of Madness it has been added to my reading list. The setting of the story is Antarctica, 1931 and you will be playing as researcher Lynn Morgan and Professor William Dyer. When you arrive at the expedition site you make a gruesome discovery, the expedition team has been brutally murdered and one team member is missing. Who…or what…killed everyone? Was it the Elder Things of ancient myth or is it something even more sinister?

    Youda Mystery: The Stanwick Legacy Review

    By

    Stop me if you've heard this one before: A young woman inherits her family's old, mysterious mansion. Upon entering the mansion, you find that not everything is as it seems, and mysteries are ready to be uncovered. We could describe plenty of hidden object games in that exact fashion, and with Youda Mystery: The Stanwick Legacy, it's no different. Unfortunately, the gameplay here is a bit too unituitive, and the hidden object scenes a bit too repetitive to make this one an instant-purchase.

    Reiner Knizia’s Tigris & Euphrates Review

    By

    Tigris and Euphrates is, to boutique board game players, the very definition of a classic. When it's considered one of a designer's best efforts, and that designer is famous for making excellent games, then you know you're getting something special. A digital port of this much beloved classic was a risky move, if it didn't live up to the standard set it was really going to fall on its face. Luckily developer Codito has done an excellent job.

    The Show Must Go On Review

    By

    One of the biggest criticisms I can lay against mobile games is plain to see when you play The Show Must Go On: shallow gameplay trying to be supported by repetition. Like many other of your run-of-the-mill mobile games, what you'll be getting is a technically competent game backed by absolutely nothing redeeming, rewarding or worthwhile.

    HOMERUN BATTLE 2 Review

    By

    Now that the World Series is over, we baseball fans need something to keep us occupied until Spring Training starts up again. For those of us who don't live near any batting cages, Homerun Battle 2 has just arrived in the App Store. The game's mechanics are incredibly simple and effective, offering what seems to be a fun little virtual sports game for us to enjoy. Sadly, the technical issues and incredibly frustrating in-app purchase system kill just about any joy you'll find.

    Superman Review

    By

    Let's face it, there have been a lot of bad superhero games and Superman, in particular, has had his fair share of questionable ones. Nevertheless, the new Chillingo-published Superman has recently flown up, up, and away to the top rankings of the Apple paid app charts. Though it doesn't look like much, this arcade-style title comes off as surprisingly addictive. That said, it offers little in terms of any depth, and oozes with every Superman cliché imaginable.

    Is PlayFirst out of the PC gaming business?

    By

    While more and more companies are making a bigger push towards mobile lately, few developers who grew up in the PC casual market have completely abandoned the idea of desktop gaming. A surprising post on the PlayFirst forums, however, suggests that the house of Flo may have done just that.

    Tower Town Review

    By

    In Tower Town, you are tasked with building a successful tower with either residential or commercial properties. You have the opportunity to build several different types of residences, from studio apartments to penthouse suites, and commercial properties, from flower shops to movie theatres. Variety is key in these types of games, and Tower Town definitely nails that aspect.
