SpaceJourneySS00 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.

Well 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!

…Flipside of the divine, that is.  Our next game comes from Erik Svedäng and his team including Daniel Kaplan, Pernilla Akterhall, Björn Öjlert, Markus Nurmimäki, Stefan Hurtig, Johan Gren, Daniel Rydin, Johan Åberg, Petter Mabäcker,  and Andreas Sundin of the University of Skövde in Sweden (I’m assuming Sweden because on his personal about page, it says he was born there) for a 10 week course in 2007.
