• PC Game Review Dairy Dash

  June 10th, 2008 | Tags: Casual Game, Diner Dash, PC Game, time management
  

  Playfirst has a hit with its Dash series, so it makes sense for the company to capitalize on more Dashes. This time the action occurs on a farm. Even Diner Dash’s Flo appears in Dairy Dash, but that doesn’t help Dairy Dash win me over. Oh, Dairy Dash still entertains and adds a component few have: [...]

• PC Game Review Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City

  June 5th, 2008 | Tags: casual games, PC Games, virtual villagers
  

  My people have returned! My people have returned! I don’t play any Sims-style games except Virtual Villagers (VV). I do like Sims games, but they require time I don’t have. But when it comes to the tribal crew, I’m there. A human year has passed since we helped the villagers through their trials and tribulations in [...]

• PC Game Review James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club: Death in Scarlet

  June 3rd, 2008 | Tags: Casual Game, download, hidden object, James Patterson, PC Game, Women's Murder Club
  

  I’ve been a fan of James Patterson’s work since first reading Along Came a Spider. It was the first time I enjoyed something with a “spider” in it though it was figurative. Since then, I loved reading Alex Cross stories. Maybe I appreciated it more because the stories took place in Washington, DC — the [...]

• Flower Stand Tycoon PC Game Review

  May 26th, 2008 | Tags: Casual Game, Fairy Godmother Tycoon, Flower Stand Tycoon, PC Game
  

  We give the casual game industry credit for not going flower crazy. Flower Stand Tycoon doesn’t have the distinction of being the first flower-themed game, but it won’t be the last. At least, we don’t see flower-theme games come out left and right like other themes. Players and reviewers appreciate it when the themes don’t [...]

• PC Game Review First Class Flurry

  May 21st, 2008 | Tags: Airport Mania, casual games, First Class Flurry, PC Games, time management
  

  When you play as many time management games as I have (and many more exist that I haven’t tried), you wonder if it’s possible for a developer to come up with more undiscovered surprises. First Class Flurry answers, “Yes!” And, no it’s not an Airport Mania copy. I don’t dream of becoming a pilot or traveling [...]

• PC Game Review Supermarket Mania

  May 14th, 2008 | Tags: Diner Dash, Supermarket Mania, Wedding Dash
  

  With the price of groceries going up by the minute, Supermarket Mania offers a great deal in keeping you busy for hours avoiding a trip to the grocery store. Like the coffee shop on every corner, Torg has supermarkets all over town giving Nikki little choice but to go work there as a stocker. Nikki doesn’t [...]

• PC Game Review Natalie Brooks - Secrets of Treasure House

  May 6th, 2008 | Tags: Azada, casual games, download, Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor, Natalie Brooks Secrets of Treasure House, PC Games
  

  I love games where they make me feel part of the story by letting me interact with the scene and its objects. Such stories contain puzzles where anything goes and you find them in Azada, Dream Chronicles, and Mortimer Beckett and the Secrets of Spooky Manor. Artfully illustrated Natalie Brooks - Secrets of Treasure House [...]

• PC Game Review Dream Chronicles 2: The Eternal Maze

  April 24th, 2008 | Tags: casual games, download, Dream Chronicles 2, PC Games
  

  Casual gamers who enjoyed blockbuster Dream Chronicles will be excited to see the Faye returns for another adventure. In the previous episode, Faye went on a quest to find her husband, Fidget. She reached him only to find the sneaky Liliith, Fairy Queen of Dreams, take him away again. To find her husband, Faye must [...]

• PC Game Review Hyperballoid 2: Time Rider

  April 22nd, 2008 | Tags: casual games, download, Hyperballoid, PC Games, Peggle
  

  I’m trying with all my might to resist saying this, but my willpower went on vacation today. Hyperballoid 2: Time Rider ain’t your daddy’s (or mommy’s for that matter as I played video games as a kid) breakout game. How we’ve come a long way from Breakout and other bland brick breaking games. Peggle first convinced [...]

• PC Game Review Build-A-Lot 2: Town of the Year

  April 18th, 2008 | Tags: Build-a-lot, casual games, PC Games
  

  I had a blast playing Build-A-Lot and couldn’t believe it when I heard another was on its way. The game even hooked my “rarely plays games” husband. The game was innovative and original. So how do you make a great game better? It’s possible as Build-A-Lot 2: Town of the Year proves it. The real estate [...]
