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.

Space Journey – Tic-Tac-Toe, Three in a row!
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009Dyson – 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!
Typomagia – I’m going to have to have some WORDS with you!
Friday, February 27th, 2009Today I’m going to review Typomagia! The magic typing game! By Sol aka Jari Komppa.
Typomagia is a game of typing and magic! Okay, okay, it’s just a typing game (like word invaders if you remember typing tutor). There are two modes of play a “quick” game with the computer, or story mode. In both modes you have several categories of word lists. Chemistry, cities, colors, common, lands, orchids, programming. I chose common, simply because I wanted to play the general case. If you start the quick game first, it sort of gives you an idea of what you’re in for on story mode.
