Remember in school when you’d have to take one of those psychology IQ tests and you had no idea why? Well that’s what Psych Yourself is all about.

Reader Review: SimCity (PC)
Posted on March 29th, 2013 by
When I was in Middle School or High School (can’t remember), the first SimCity game came out and it was a huge hit. I even remember what the box for the PC game looked like! One of my friends would even save and print out his city layout on printer paper and show them to me at school! Many years later, I bought and downloaded the Super Nintendo version of SimCity, one of the first Virtual Console games available on the Wii. I remembered how addicting it was when I rented it back in the day, so I wanted my younger brother Jeff to experience it, too. He instantly loved it and a few days later, he had bought SimCity 4 for his computer! So since my brother Jeff enjoys SimCity so much, I decided to let him take a stab at reviewing it here!

Abalone (iPad)
Posted on March 22nd, 2013 by
The poplar strategy board game is now officially on iOS devices! (iPad version reviewed here) At first glance it looks like a cross between Othello and Chinese Checkers. But it’s really not. The object of the game is to push your opponent’s marbles off the edge of the board. You can move one, two, or three marbles at the same time as long as they’re next to each other. If you have more marbles of your color next to an opponent’s, you can push their marbles. But you can only move three. So a chain of four marbles against three won’t work. I know I didn’t explain that very well, but luckily the game does a much better job.
