Girls Like Robots. And nerds like girls. Robots hate pie. June likes bugs. Got it? Hope so, because in this simple yet challenging and surprisingly addictive logic game, it's up to you to keep everybody happy, and that means you have to keep it all straight.
I... I'm writing this as a broken man. I've always done my best to give everyone a fair shake; to always do what I thought was best. I was never selfish, and without fail put myself in harm's way to protect others. But I reached a breaking point I didn't even know I had, and not by just a little bit, either. Now I'm here trying to put the shattered pieces back together after saying and doing things I can't take back, and this blood just won't wash off my hands so easily anymore.
Our favorite warfare-waging worms are back in Team17's latest annelid battle-epic: Worms: Revolution. Even though worms are usually armless and blind, these soldiers are skilled with the aiming of firearms, tossing of explosives, avoidance of landmines, and much more. It's no wonder our slightly sadistic narrator wants to make a nature documentary on their fighting habits.
Strewn about the fictional city of Theftropolis are live cheat codes. They give you extraordinary powers, but also revoke your ability to save the game until you shut it down and return. Activating one for the first time is an experience all at once nostalgic and frustrating: two words which seem to encapsulate the earnest but bumpy ride through Retro City Rampage.
The haunted, dark carnival has become a fairly standard setting within the hidden object genre, but Dark Arcana: The Carnival is proof that it can still feel fresh and gripping. The game's storyline starts off slowly with a standard case of a missing person, but quickly changes focus to become one of lost lovers, dark rituals and evil forces bent on destroying the world. With each plot twist, the game becomes even better than before, but it isn't without a few technical issues.
We've all heard the urban legend of how the ooey-gooey "life sim" came to be: two developers ran into each other, one carrying a strategy game and the other carrying a simulation. The games collided: "Hey, bro, you got strategy in my sims game!" "No, dude, you got sims in my strategy title!" And so, a new combination was born. I hope you enjoyed that story, because you won't find a better one in Farm Tribe 2.
Houses of prayer can be divisive institutions, but we can all agree on one thing: they boast some kick-ass stained glass windows. That said, have you ever considered shattering one of those windows? Not out of religious protest, but just for the split-second thrill of watching shards of ruby and emerald glass spray out into the sunlight? Yes? No? You probably won't admit it either way, so why not break some virtual glass guilt-free with Stained? It's an action-platforming game built around an interesting concept, though the final product still needs a bit of polish.
It's a common developer mistake: thinking that a graphics upgrade is all a sequel needs. While improving the look of a game is certainly less risky than expanding upon its mechanics, most gamers are unlikely to appreciate paying twice (or in this case, three times) for the same game with a new coat of varnish. Regardless, Playrix Entertainment, the makers of the Fishdom series, have apparently gone that unsatisfying route with their latest aquatic match-three game, Fishdom 3.
