It would be easy to dismiss Knights of Puzzelot as "just" another match-3 puzzle game, and I Yet while the core mechanics aren't all that different from anything else you might have already played, if you dig a little deeper you'll find a surprisingly addictive little puzzle game/RPG hybrid. Things aren't looking too good after a really big and nasty dragon goes on a rampage and torches the entire kingdom of Puzzelot. Fortunately you're around to fix it all up. As one of the Knights of Puzzelot you'll be able to explore dangerous caverns and spooky dungeons, stumble upon loot, fight monsters, and earn gold. |

The Peanuts gang has been making people smile for more than sixty years now, and Snoopy, its popular pooch, can seemingly sell anything. That's what the Schultz estate and developer Beeline Interactive is banking on anyway, having created a match-three game mobile called Snoopy's Sugar Drop. The Sugar Drop's weakness is its gameplay, which clearly hops on the Candy Crush bandwagon. Its strength, though, is its charming Peanuts-themed aesthetic. |

KeroBlaster is a side-scrolling action game designed by Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya - the man behind the action indie hit Cave Story. Though it's ten years old, Cave Story is still widely regarded as one of the greatest action games of all time. Concocting a worthy follow-up act couldn't have been an easy task for Amaya, and it probably explains why KeroBlaster has been subject to delays. Happily, KeroBlaster is worth the wait. Though it aesthetically resembles Cave Story, KeroBlaster is unmistakably its own adventure thanks to an emphasis on shooting (tons of it) and jumping instead of exploration. |

My biggest issue with The Walking Dead Season Two premiere was how similar it felt to the first season's opener. Clementine started with a companion of sorts, encounters an emergency, meets some people, and then chooses to let one live or die. It had elements that set it apart from Lee Everett's original story, but it largely seemed like Clementine was literally, not just figuratively, mimicking his legacy. Now, between the second and third installments of season two, things have definitely diverged. |

Maleficent is the chief bad girl of Disney's Sleeping Beauty. She's best known for her subtle horn-shaped headdress, throwing a hissy fit over not being invited to baby Aurora's christening, and transforming into a dragon when she gets really mad (let's be honest with ourselves: We only hate her because we're jealous). Maleficent's titular movie aims to portray the classic villain as misunderstood, not evil. It seems terrible circumstances turned Maleficent's heart to stone, making her resentful and bitter. The film's premise is interesting and thought provoking. Unfortunately, Maleficent Free Fall is neither. |

I've never really been into "castle defense" games, regardless of whether or not they involve actual castles. I don't have anything against them; they just don't do it for me. I do, however, enjoy card collecting. That's probably why I've been enjoying League of War so much. Well, that and the rather impressive production values. Those don't hurt, either. League of War may not involve castles, but it does involve defending your base by churning out lots and lots of soldiers and vehicles. Soldiers and vehicles that, incidentally, will try to rush across the field and blow up your opponent's base. Your Supply Lines pull in resources that you can use to summon units for fighting, and can be boosted several times over the course of a match to make them even more productive. The trade-off being that the resources you spend boosting your supply lines could've been used to crop a tank or something. |

Make it Rain: The Love of Money is a reflex / tapping game in the vein of Cookie Clicker, but instead of tapping cookies to make them multiply (in their mysterious, doughy way), you "slide" bills off an endless stack to "make it rain," as you're instructed to do by the game's very name. By now, there should be enough Cookie Clicker-type games on the App Store and Google Play for you to begin making a decision about whether you love them or loathe them. Make it Rain: The Love of Money isn't much deeper than previously-released tapping games, but it has one major advantage over the competition: Sliding the bills off a stack is far more gratifying than simply tapping on a screen fast enough for your finger to ignite. |

Whether you love or hate Flappy Bird and the cyclopean bugger that flits through its devilish levels, there's no arguing Dong Nguyen's unassuming game has caused a resurgence of arcade-style titles on the App Store and Google Play. Even though all these games generally require players to utilize one (sometimes two) fingers and follow simple rule sets, some still manage to be more sophisticated than others. dEXTRIS by Chaotic Box falls a little closer to the "sophisticated" side of the recent arcade game resurrection. Like Flappy Bird, dEXTRIS' basics are very easy to grasp, its controls are uncomplicated, it's challenging, and your only job in the game is to get a high score. Unlike Flappy Bird, however, dEXTRIS is a slick-looking game with an adrenaline-fueling soundtrack. |
