Ben Jordan Case 7 – The Cardinal Sins

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Okay I have some good news and some bad news about this Ben Jordan game from Grundislav Games.  The good news is that this is not the last Ben Jordan game.  The bad news is that this game is the last one that has been completed which means we have to wait for the actual last game concerning Ben’s eighth and final case, which will also be bad news for Ben Jordan fans because we love these games so much.  So without further ado… “It’s Christmas Eve in Rome. What should be joyful becomes a tragedy as a priest is murdered in cold blood. Ben receives a call from the man accused of the crime, begging him to go to Rome and clear his name. Seeing this as a chance to prove his career choice to his disapproving family, Ben calls up his friends and starts another investigation.  Some lives will be lost…”BenJordan7SS01If you want to see the breakdown read on…

Mystic Mine – Mystically fun maybe?

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Nov04 Edit: Reposting this because the developer of Mystic Mine actually entered the drawing (and won for that matter). I really don’t know what’s so “Mystic” about Mystic Mine by Koonsolo.  Maybe the fact that it’s so dang fun and yet so simple (yes, you know the drill by now we LOVE simple), easily understood, easy to play but difficult to master.  Maybe it’s the fact that an optical illusion allows you to reach all points (you can only go down).  Maybe it’s just that when people start playing it, it mystically can engage them for hours.  Myabe it’s the fact that you can have 6 people ON ONE KEYBOARD!  Now if that isn’t Mystical, it’s certainly hard core!  Okay don’t mistake my saying it’s hard core for it being a hard core game.  In fact it’s very casual, however it should generate a lot of exitement.  This game is only one button, or mouse click.  But you want to just click the button.  It’s easier than the mouse I think.  In any case I’ve got to say it’s a must buy.  You want to know quickly?  Just look at this vid…

If you really want to know why I feel this way, continue reading, otherwise, these aren’t the droids you’re looking for, move along…

Bauble Play – Match-3 with an eye-patch!

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

(To the tune of Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer) Well you know Zombies, and Vampires, and Werewolves, and Ninjas, Skeletons, Robots, Samurai, and Vikings, but do you recall, the most famous scoundrels of all… PIRATES!  ARRRRGH!  Everyone is into pirates nowadays.  Seriously.  Pirates of the Caribbean, Lego Pirate sets, Puzzle Pirates (Okay I haven’t reviewed it, I haven’t even played it), even real pirates in the news.  Everyone is mad, simply MAD about pirates!  So it’s with great pleasure I present to you a match-3 type game with a piratey theme.  Okay it’s one of those ones where you just click and remove.  Technically this could be considered a preview because it’s in beta.  It’s done in XNA, so I assume eventually it will get to the XBOX.  Anyways, the game is ok.  Not great, nothing to really keep me wanting to play.  If you want to know more please continue to read.  How about a video of the gameplay:
