Review: Unlikely Suspects (PC)
I recently finished playing several hours of Unlikely Suspects, the latest PC offering from MumboJumbo Games. The premise of the game is simple: a murder happens, you have to investigate the scene of the crime, gather evidence, and then determine what the murder weapon was and who did it. If this is sounding a lot like the popular board game Clue, you are correct, and that can only mean one thing:...[Read More]

Review: Drawn Dark Flight (PC)
Back in August I had the chance to attend a press conference for what was, at the time, known to me as Drawn 2.

After playing Drawn: Dark Flight I can now confirm that all expectations have been met, and exceeded anything I could’ve imagined.
Review: Hidden Mysteries Titanic (Wii & DS)
Recently Avanquest released Hidden Mysteries Titanic for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS systems. Being advertised as a mixture between hidden object and puzzle in terms of gameplay, I feel that accurately describes what players can expect.
Review: Samantha Swift and the Fountains of Fate (PC)
Last Friday Samantha Swift and the Fountains of Fate by MumboJumbo Games was released for PC. Having never played a Samantha Swift game before, I knew I would be embarking on a new journey, and that I would probably enjoy it. Thankfully, I was right.

Review: Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air (PC)
Today, I spent a good portion of my time playing, and completing, Dream Chronicles: The Book of Air by PlayFirst. Well before the game was released, I knew I wanted to play it. I’m a huge fan of hidden-object games, so the recent installment to the Dream Chronicles franchise was a must-have. I will admit that The Book of Air is the first Dream Chronicles game I’ve ever played, so I was...[Read More]
