Real time strategy meets The Sims in My Tribe, and the result could hardly be better.
GAME PLAY – 5/5
Have you ever found yourself playing a real time strategy game and wondering what type of city you could build if you did not have a pesky opponent always trying to foil your resource gathering and destroy your buildings? My Tribe fits this bill exactly. My Tribe is about turning a small, primitive tribe into a culture of art and science using the individual abilities of each member of your tribe. The people are indeed created as individuals. One might be naturally strong and a good woodsman while another might be smart and a good researcher. In fact producing new people requires the mating of two existing people and produces some combination of the parents’ attributes. Almost the entire game consists of dragging your people to the tasks you want them to complete, but with mysteries to solve and technology and potions to experiment with this rarely gets dull. If you do get a little jaded watching your little people gather resources just close the game. Yes, that is right. They will still be gathering resources and otherwise living while you are gone!

Crumb Game Review by Tabitha Akery
Game Rating = 3/5 Balls
Crumb is a game meant for young girls who still believe in fairy tales and happily ever after. In fairy tale fashion, the game begins with a princess in trouble. It is a family oriented game but much of the story might have to be read aloud to younger children.

Game Review by Peter WY Brown
Game Rating = 4/5 Balls
Playing Singularis is a surprisingly enjoyable experience. The game is quite impressive, with a great amount of depth and game play considering it was made by just one man. At certain points, you cannot help but laugh at the humorous story, and at only $14, the price of the game is also just right for multiple hours of fun. Note: The publishers reduced the price to $7.50 as of November 30th 2009.

Item-based adventure games are the oldest genre of computer games around, dating back to the 1970s, and have developed from text-only affairs to full-motion video extravaganzas.
Avenue Flo is a quirky adventure that takes in the hidden object genre as well as traditional object-based puzzles and character interaction. A wedding is occupying everyone’s mind in Flordia Street, Dinertown, but on the big day the dress, rings, butterflies, cake, flowers and poodle have all gone missing. Flo wanders off to find or replace all of these items in time-honored fashion, and probably to uncover the mystery of who has gone to such lengths to disrupt the wedding.

What do you get when you mix Japanese school girls, plant-like aliens and RPG elements? Well, you get most of the anime that exists today, really. But you also get Science Girls, a game that roughly resembles said anime in most respects.

Game Review by Kenneth Andrews
Game Rating = 5/5 Balls
Eets has a daft name, but is a fantastic puzzle game suitable for all ages. Guiding Eets across a precarious landscape towards his destination, a jigsaw puzzle piece (all the world’s puzzles have apparently been broken), by manipulating his emotional state and (of course) blowing things up, the game constantly feels fresh, imaginative and most importantly fun.

Game Review by Kenneth Andrews
Game Rating = 2/5 Balls
Since their inception, computer games have tried to give us the virtual experience of real life activities, from war to sport, from car-jacking to crime-solving. Cubme adds shovelling snow to that list.
In a normally warm town, cubes of snow have suddenly started falling from the sky. Everyone’s pleased to see it but they’re not quite sure how to deal with it. Enter the player, a plucky little guy with a big nose and a shovel. His job is to clear the snow, in a variety of missions, and quite probably solve snow-based puzzles while he’s at it.
