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.

Thursday, March 19th, 2009(xblig) Mithra – Episode 1: The Phantom Game – XBLCG
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009Okay not really a phantom game. Today’s game review is for another XBOX Live Community Games trial called Mithra: Episode 1, Chapter 1 – by Afiction Games – Not sure why it’s only the first chapter of the first episode. I kind of got the impression that there were chapters in each episode, as this game is supposed to be spanning 5 total episodes.
Buzzword – Buzz, Buzz, BUZZZZZZ!
Tuesday, March 17th, 2009Today’s game is a mixture of match-3 and crossword puzzle. The game is called Buzzword by Desktop Gaming. I only played the trial which is 60 minutes, but I felt it was good enough to get a feel for the game. The goal of the game is to reach the next level by filling the “honey” meter.
