Welcome to the world of magic and fantasy where you run your own store in Magic Shop, a color matching / match three game. You attempt to run a magic store that designs and sells artifacts. Its previous owner, Loriel the elf, abandoned the story and no one has been able to successfully recapture its [...]
Not having played Mysteryville, Mysteryville 2 instantly reminded me of Magic Academy in the game play style and interface — Nevosoft is behind both games. The developer does a first-rate job in telling a strong story in its hidden object games and continues the tradition with its latest entry. Journalist Laura Winner returns to the little [...]
Magic Academy should set the standard for games in the hidden object genre. Not only does the game involve the player in an engaging story, but also it keeps things from getting boring with its variety of puzzles. Most hidden object games pause for a short time after a player clicks a found object and require [...]
Thanks to Gamezebo, I had the opportunity to discover a game that isn’t known around the casual game world. Plumeboom is a peacock who tries to save Orniland in Plumeboom: The First Chapter where darkness has taken over the bird paradise. Crowbeak the Dark Wizard and Cornix the Evil Scientist plan to turn the birds [...]
When we hear about a new match three or color matching game, we don’t expect to see anything new — just a different story and theme. Be prepared for a wonderful gem full of surprises in ZenGems. It’s not what you expect from color matching games — in fact, sometimes you’ll do better if you [...]

Sally’s Salon does a fine job with its crisp graphics and the process [...]
I loved doing tangrams as a kid especially when we students had the opportunity to play with them in class. It was more fun than solving math problems and working only with pencil and paper. With tangrams, your hands held the smooth wooden pieces while you tried to find the right place for them in [...]
“…in a morning everything suddenly changed. They came from the sea… the Barbarians. Thousands of them… with only one thing on their mind… destroy. They’ve take over us. Our homes… our children… our lives. But there will come a day and a leader will rise, uniting under his sword the faith of an entire nation. [...]
Thanks to the success of the Diner Dash series, the marketing folks decided to take advantage of the popular game and replace Flo with SpongeBob Squarepants to create another hit. SpongeBob’s version closely resembles Flo’s with one difference: You can change characters. In one level you can be the loveable sponge and in another play [...]
I admit it. I have a weakness for good pizza. I can easily pass on the golden arches and red and white bucket meals, but not when it comes to the delicious flat pie. I was afraid this game would make me crave pizza all the time. Thankfully, the pizza in this game looks simple [...]
