FlowDoku (iPad)
Posted on September 8th, 2013 by
FlowDoku is basically Sudoku without the numbers. It’s available for Android and iOS devices (played on iPad here). In Sudoku, you must fill rows, columns, and squares with numbers from 1 to 9, but each number can only appear once in each row, column, and square. In FlowDoku, you can only have certain shape patterns in each row, column, and square. Like three blue squares, two orange triangles, and one yellow circle for instance. And the same shapes have to be next to each other, too. You can see how the pattern works at the bottom of the screen.

I can describe this title in five words: ‘This game is my childhood.’ I think that’s worth repeating in all caps. THIS GAME IS MY CHILDHOOD. Click here to read a rather gushy review of this remake to one of my favorite NES games based on a fantastic Disney TV cartoon (PS3 version reviewed here).

The Fighters of Dragon’s Crown (PS3, Vita)
Posted on August 25th, 2013 by
One of the games I got recently was Dragon’s Crown on the PS3. It seems like it would probably be a better fit on the Vita, but since I only have a PS3, I’ll just be happy with that version! I thought it might be fun to write a little bit about the characters you can control in the game, so here’s a short blog about the fighters you can play as. I was in a silly mood when I wrote this, so be warned!

Many popular video game characters have jumped on the continuously running game genre so prevalent on the mobile gaming platforms. Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic Dash), and Rayman (Rayman’s Jungle Run), to name a few. Now Pac-Man is taking a bite out of the dash and run gameplay concept with Pac-Man Dash for iOS devices (played on iPad for this review). The game is also based on the new computer animated cartoon on Disney XD: Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures!

Tunnel Town (iPad)

Burrowing your way onto iOS devices (reviewed on iPad here), comes Tunnel Town, a spinoff of the popular National Geographic Animal Jam franchise. Colorful bunnies from the Animal Jam world have been whisked away to a strange new place, and you must help them build and dig a fantastic new home! This game is similar to other simulation titles such as Farmville, Viva Piñata, or Animal Crossing (with a little bit of Dig Dug thrown in for good measure).
