In the ultimate example of the pen, or rather pencil, being mightier than the sword, Maxwell has used his magic notebook to entertain plenty of gamers in the Scribblenauts games. But even the most successful series need a spark to re-energize them at times, and Maxwell gets a literally super powered one in the form of the thousands of characters who come to life in Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure. It's an awesome if sometimes uneven combination of imagination and adventure that's sure to excite the comic geek in just about anyone.If you're a longtime DC fan, you no doubt know that Barry Allen was inspired to become The Flash because he read about Jay Garrick in comic books as a kid. See, meta was cool all the way back in the 50s! They eventually made comics history by crossing over with each other, and a similar setup is used to combine the powers of Maxwell and his sister Lily to get them to the DC universe. There's just one big problem: Lily's globe shatters upon arrival, scattering the Starites inside and forcing the siblings to team up with their four-color idols to get them back before they fall into the wrong hands.Your quest will take you to various famous locales, including Gotham City, Metropolis, and Oa, home planet of the Green Lantern Corps. Each place has a main mission that involves helping a famous DC hero defeat one of his or her arch-enemies, who have the assistance of Maxwell's Doppleganger. In-between the storyline bits, there are plenty of random citizens, heroes, and villains you can assist to earn reputation points. Those are needed to unlock new locations and costumes that grant Maxwell the powers of some iconic characters - also Aztek, who doesn't quite qualify as iconic.
I'm going to try to describe Knock-Knock and you're going to have to bear with me while I do it, because it's not the sort of thing that's easily described. Saying it's a side-scroller with exaggerated, cartoon graphics starring a haggard-looking young man with sunken eyes and wild red hair is simple enough, but the world in which he lives and his role in it is something else entirely.Bear with me.The young lad in question lives in a house located deep in a dark, lonely forest. It's an odd place, seemingly empty and in a poor state of repair; and worse, it's surrounded by twisted, deformed supernatural beings of various sorts who are trying to get in. He needs to keep them out - but some of them are already inside. To banish them, he must go from room to room, turning on the lights and replacing burned-out bulbs as necessary - which is quite often. And once the light is on, he can close his eyes and "imagine" furniture into existence. And other things, too; some of it he can hide behind, while others have their own, different purposes."It's a game of hide-and-seek, really, with a simple goal: make it to dawn without being caught. Time passes as you putter around the house, and every now and then you'll run across a strange, oddly familiar clock which you can use to advance the minutes and hours at a rapid pace. Hiding, however, has the opposite effect. Time runs backwards when you're crouched behind a couch or a boiler, hands pressed over your eyes, so you can't stay there forever.
Social games get a bad rap, but in condemning them, critics often miss the creativity and fun to be had from such games. New match-three RPG Battle Camp has to plead guilty to everything the genre is vilified for—repetitiveness, microtransactions, and invasive social media mechanics—but it also contains a goodly amount of light-hearted entertainment as well.Despite having a good portion of fun to offer, Battle Camp makes a poor first impression by immediately slapping you with multiple registration prompts. These aren't necessary, but they look as if they are, and their sheer number could be enough to prevent some gamers from playing. Also oddly off-putting is the utter lack of intro. The game just starts with a tutorial, providing no sort of "how do you do?" and nothing to contextualize what you're doing. If you manage to get past this obstacle-strewn, awkward start, however, there's some interesting stuff in store.After creating a character from a handful of male/female presets, you find yourself at camp learning the game's basic mechanics from a cute little penguin. In your possession are a handful of cute little elemental monsters, and the idea is to wander around challenging other people's cute little monsters to fight. Each battle you engage in costs one energy (yes, Battle Camp uses the insidious energy system), and in a turn-based setup, each side attacks by matching three or more elemental icons on a 6x5 board.
Battle Camp is a free-to-play match-three game from PennyPop where you battle with friends for supremacy over your land.

Rovio has released Angry Birds Star Wars II for mobile phones and tablets. We all knew it was going to happen. It was as inexorable as the final struggle between Luke and Darth Vader. After all, Rovio's first attempt at fitting Jedi and Sith into suits made of feathers and pigskin proved extremely successful.So will you enjoy a second go-around with an Angry Birds/Star Wars hybrid? Yes, provided you meet two requirements: one, you're not thoroughly sick of Angry Birds; and two, you've not taken an oath to destroy everything that references the Star Wars prequels. Whereas the first Angry Birds Star Wars revolves around Episodes IV, V, and VI, Angry Birds Star Wars II plucks from Episodes I, II, and III. That means you'll be goofing off with the likes of Anakin Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks. Sorry.Don't let it get you down, though. True to Angry Birds tradition, none of the characters in Angry Birds Star Wars II actually talk. That alone puts the game miles above Episode I. When you get right down to it, Angry Birds Star Wars II dishes out tons of fun and humor.
Cavemania is the long-awaited result of what happens when developer BonusXP partners up with publisher Yodo1 to release Yodo1's very first global game: and let me tell you, this thing is more exciting than the discovery of fire. The bulk of Cavemania is played out on a simple match-three game board, which is filled in from top to bottom with colorful items that cavemen would normally find out in the wild and harvest for their precious resources: apples and carrots; leafy trees and pine trees; rocks and gold ore. Matching three or more of each item will net you a nice share of their respective resource, which you'll need for reaching the goal in some levels, or to put towards building things in others.But now here's the big twist that sets Cavemania apart from other match-three adventures just like it: your Chieftan character also occupies a space on this changing game board, and you'll need to utilize his position in order to do battle or protect delicate structures from meeting their end in the harsh realities of nature. What's cool about this is that you're always able to make any move on the board that you want, and permanently swap any two items regardless of whether they make a match or not.This heightens the overall strategy of the game to exciting new levels: for instance, you might opt out of farming new resources for a few moves, if the current situation calls for you to move you Chieftan into fighting position with the deadly beasts and wildlife that also populate the game board from time to time; or conversely, you might want to move an injured Chieftan away from any harm until you can better gather your bearings. Your characters will automatically attack an enemy whenever they are in close range (one square away, either adjacent or diagonally), but be careful because the enemies will also be able to do exactly the same! Luckily, matching four or more like-items in a single move will reward you with a rare blue crystal, which can then be used at will to unleash a particularly devastating attack on your unsuspecting foes.
