Rat On A Scooter XL Review
If you're anything like this reviewer, the name of this game itself was enough to pull you in and see what it was all about.

Spore™ Creatures Review
Spore. The mere mention of this series instantly brings thoughts of crazy looking critters eating smaller, equally crazy looking critters.

There are a number of other species to interact with. Either attack creatures to wip…

Each level involves solving an intricate puzzle by getting the "pink star" to land on the available safe zone(s). However the challenge comes from attempting to do so while the star starts in a precariously balanced position. Tapping blocks will…

TileStorm by Massive Hadron walks a thin line between fun and frustration with its tile-sliding puzzles that you'll either love or loathe. Manipulating puzzles couldn't be easier and play much like a regular tile-sliding puzzle. The trick here is to maneuver the pieces to form a path…
