And Brickies is, deep down, still a brick-breaker. And it can't escape that to be an excellent game. It's as good a game as it possibly can be, though.

There's no part of AlphaBetty Saga we haven't seen done to death already. ...It's so by-the-book that it ends up lacking any sort of excitement to call its own, and with heavy competition, that's more than enough to sink a game.

What it does is top-notch, but I don't think it does enough. That's what keeps it from being an absolute must-have: the lingering feeling that maybe this game hasn't quite reached its full potential.

I played a few rounds, and it seemed pretty good. ...I began playing it more and more, and it slowly began to take over my free time. Don’t be put off by it’s simple appearance, readers. This one’s a keeper.

The big problem now is that I can't see myself going back to a single-business sim from this developer after playing this, but I suppose we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now, I think Biz Builder Delux makes for a nice bit of fun for sim fans looking for something they can pay once and fully enjoy in a genre buried in free-to-play giants.

As it is, I still really enjoyed my time planning out my victories over the big bad bosses that lurk in my desk... or my tablet I guess. If you like roguelikes, This is a solid pickup.

It's the kind of game that makes you wish someone would invent more efficient batteries so that you didn't have to stop playing for a few seconds to plug a cord into the wall. Now, if you'll excuse me. I must build a boat.

I think Skiing Yeti Mountain is a game that is best in short doses, but those doses are quite potent. This is just a solid little skiing game with a lot to do. It's not the kind of game you'll be playing for hours on end, but for a few minutes at a time over a long time.

It gets to the heart of one of the big strengths of the genre, the feeling of having to MacGyver an immediate solution from whatever you've got at hand. It's a rare title that can satisfy players of varying skill levels, but I think Sproggiwood fits the bill nicely.

Lara Croft has always been a bit of a divisive figure in video games, with some arguing she’s a modern symbol of female empowerment and others saying she’s not much more than polygonal eye candy for teenage boys.
