    Ittle Dew Review

    By

    Ittle Dew makes no secret of its gaming inspiration.  The colorful action-adventure puzzler parodies and pays homage to The Legend of Zelda in gameplay, visual style, and playful jabs throughout its tightly-packed journey.  Yet Ittle Dew is far from a Zelda clone; a streamlined focus on puzzle-solving within a bizarre new world creates an experience all its own.  That experience should appeal to both fans and non-fans of the classic series, as well as anyone with an affinity for deviously challenging puzzles wrapped in self-referential humor.

    9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek Review

    By

    Aside from circus performers, zoo-keepers, and Goth types, most people consider snakes a source of fear and revulsion. At least that's what Tap It Games, the makers of 9 Clues: The Secret of Serpent Creek are counting on. In some ways, their snake-heavy premise succeeds in tapping into (pun intended) our deeply-felt reptilian phobias. In other ways, it slithers wide of the mark.

    The Raven: Episode 1 – The Eye of the Sphinx Review

    By

    The Raven - Legacy of a Master Thief: Episode 1 - The Eye of the Sphinx is more than just a point-and-click adventure. It's a wonderfully-realized Agatha Christie-style murder mystery that wouldn't be out of place airing as a six-part serial on PBS. It's not a particularly difficult game, but the outstanding voice acting and lively, exciting story do a masterful job of recreating an early-60's tale of theft, murder, obsession, and one man's quest to prove his worth to the world.

    Mystery Trackers: Silent Hollow Review

    By

    In my last Mystery Trackers review, I mentioned worrying that one day the series would let me down. After all, one company can only crank out hits for so long; then again, if you're Elephant Games, the usual rules might not apply. Having seemed at first a knock-off of Big Fish's own Mystery Case Files, Mystery Trackers has now officially eclipsed that franchise both in terms of game concepts and execution, as its latest title, Mystery Trackers: Silent Hollow clearly demonstrates.

    Bleed Review

    By

    There needs to be more video games about playing as a hero who simply wants to be the best, and nothing more. Wacky Japanese game No More Heroes first laid out the concept of taking a list of people, finding them, and picking them off one by one. Now Bleed, an indie platformer from Ian Campbell, has taken the reins and beaten multiple "heroes" to death with them, cackling all the way. Don't worry - we were cackling along too.

    The Last Door: Chapter 2 – Memories Review

    By

    The Last Door: Chapter Two - Memories begins in a style similar to The Letter, placing us in limited control of an unknown priest as he performs ritualistic flagellation in his room.  We're soon returned to the familiar company of Devitt, now seeking mental counseling for the events he experienced in the first chapter of our tale.  With Anthony's haunting parting words weighing heavily on his mind, Devitt travels to the boarding school where they grew up in the hope of learning what led him to this fate.

    Final Cut: Encore Review

    By

    A year ago Eipix Entertainment brought us Final Cut: Death on the Silver Screen, one of the most carefully-made, best-looking hidden object adventures of 2012. This month, the company brings us Final Cut: Encore, a sequel that easily equals the first game in creativity and craftsmanship. Encore is fantastically entertaining, and is an object lesson in great adventure game-making.
