sewbizzy's Review History
Spellspire is a thrilling mashup of word game and action role playing game. Pick letters from a grid to spell words and shoot them from your wand as spells. The longer the word, the bigger the blast!

Loving this little game!
Unlike Letter Quest and Bookworm Adventures, you keep the same set of tiles and make additional words from them to defeat the monsters.
Like Letter Quest, you can upgrade your wand, hat, and dress. You can also carry extra help in a backpack.
Remembering which words you've already used can be challenging...
Art Mahjong 3 offers three exciting variants for the traditional Chinese board-game. Try Dragon-Mahjong, Dragonmaster and Classic Mahjong.

Yes, it's just another mah-jongg game. But this one does have a timer and the dragon mah-jongg is very fast paced and gets difficult early on (at least it did for me).
Sometimes we want a game that diverts our attention for a just a few minutes. So, if you want a game that you can play for a level or two and then leave - this is an ideal one. It loads quickly and quits even faster - one click and it's gone. No annoying pop-ups asking if you 'really really really want to quit'.
The visuals are well drawn. Overall, I give this one 5 stars - the developers managed to give a bit of a new twist to mah-jongg and I like it!
I recommend this game!

I bought this one after playing the demo. THEN it got hard.
Essentially this is a puzzle game with zombies and brains and people with weapons.
If you're good with figuring out paths and timing and those kinds of things, then this is a great game for you.
If you have a hard time drawing a straight line with your cursor, then this is probably not a great game for you.
I do like the sense of humor that the developers included...it's a quirky, fun little game for those of us who like zombie games.
I recommend this game!
Purchase real estate, construct buildings, trade goods and run your competitors into the ground using maps of actual cities in Trade Mania 2!

This was a must buy for me the moment I saw it was available on Big Fish. I have played the first Trade Mania religiously since purchasing it...never can get enough of buying low and selling high!
This new game has much more nuance. It's harder. The computer generated opponents are much smarter and they aren't tied to the same rules as they were in the first game, so watch out - it takes more savvy business acumen to win this one (which makes it just that much better, IMO).
THANK YOU Dekovir and Big Fish!
I recommend this game!

This must have been the developers first game in the series. The HO scenes are so cluttered that I find myself with my glasses off, nose inches from the screen pouring over the scene to find something that is 95% buried behind other items. Often you have to take one item before another item is visible at all.
At least a half dozen items are completely mislabeled...My favorite was minutes spent searching for CUE BALL - the item was actually a green pool ball.
The mini-games revealing the next location aren't hard, but the ones that play like match 3 (only it's match 2) have too many holes in the grid and get increasingly difficult to complete in order to move on because of the holes and the way the icons fall.
There is also no way to 'hurry up' to the next scene - you have to wait while it counts up your extra time and adds up your unused coins every time...
All of these issues seem to have been addressed in future Big City Adventure installments...so skip San Francisco and travel elsewhere!
I don't recommend this game.

I love this game! I've played it through several times now. After I played through the first time, I thought that it might be fun to play through it again and buy forgeries on purpose - and concentrate on the forgeries moreso than the real paintings. It does give the game a bit of a different aspect and can also make the game play take a bit longer since you're fiddling about in the cafes trying to sell the forgeries moreso than filling the galleries you've purchased.
The most important thing to remember is this: Buy low. Sell high!
I recommend this game!
