I’m talking about Snake, the classic game where move your snake around the board and eat and eat and eat until your tail grows so long that you eventually run into yourself. According to your friend, and mine, Wikipedia, Snake originated in the 70’s with Blockade by a company named Gremlin Industries (not to be confused with Gremlin Graphics that eventually became Gremlin Interactive). Snake has had a long career and today’s game adds to that distinguished career. Atomic Worm by Charlie Dog Games is more than just your average snake clone. Although the developer might rap me in the mouth for this, I believe it’s a combination of snake and a match-3 game. That’s right, a match-3. I didn’t intentionally start out to review another one of these games, but it appears i have. Of course it’s not a traditional click 3 items, or falling block match-3, it’s a snake variant. It’s also another freeware title. I guess I just seem to be getting a lot of freeware stuff.

Okay so maybe it’s not tic-tac-toe, and maybe it’s not strictly in a row, but it is at least three or more. Yes I’m talking about the dreaded Match-3 games! Yes this is my first Match-3 review. And also yes I may review more. Why are they dreaded? Well technically they’re not. It’s just there’s a lot of them. And people are making a lot of money off of them.
Dyson – I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.
Friday, March 6th, 2009Well I don’t know much about trees, or poems about them. But there is a game written about a kind of tree called a Dyson tree. Just what is a Dyson tree you ask? Let’s call on our friend Wikipedia for an answer, shall we? According to Wikipedia, “A Dyson tree is a hypothetical genetically-engineered plant, (perhaps resembling a tree) capable of growing in a comet, suggested by the physicist Freeman Dyson.” Okay what does this have to do with games? Well our next game is called, you guessed it, Dyson!
