Bad PvZ knock-off has promise, but falls flat

This game should never have made it off the creator's drawing board. Battle Ranch directly plagiarizes Plants vs. Zombies in at least one place (the Split Pea, firing forwards and backwards) right down to the artwork. The graphics are atrocious, there is no storyline to speak of, and the sound is irritating at best.
That being said, combining the farm management aspect with PvZ gameplay was a good idea, adding a new element to the game. If the rest of the content was more original, and if the artwork and sound were improved, it would be a most enjoyable experience. As it is, Battle Ranch is a poorly-executed, underwhelming attempt at copying one of the greatest casual games of all time.
I don't recommend this game.

Treasures of Montezuma 4 is a beautifully-rendered match 3 game. The storyline is enjoyable, if a tad predictable. The music is appropriate and doesn't get irritating like it does in some games. It's challenging without being frustrating, and is one of the finest match 3 games to come out of BFG is a long time.
There are only two problems with it:
1) The Gold time on many levels is far too short.
2) It's crashed three times already. BFG, please have a peek and see what you and the developer can do to squash the bugs.
I recommend this game!

A pretty game, but full of spelling errors and incomplete code.

This is a beautifully-rendered marble-popper. Unfortunately, the leftover bits of font coding (her a&*"teddy bear"*&a or something similar in the text) and the constant misspelling of "sphere" were enough to yank me out of the demo after three minutes.
The tutorial is jerky, breaking the flow of the game further.
I don't recommend this game.
