Its main idea is the one found in the popular Othello / Reversi strategy board games, hence players must try to occupy as much as possible from the opponent's "space". Sure, there's nothing unusual in that, but the game's novelty must not to be looked for here. Generally speaking, logic and puzzle games give players two kinds of feelings: a satisfactory one, when they manage to solve the puzzle and/or win the logical battle with their opponent(s), and a frustrating one, when they realize they don't hav...

Developed by HeroCraft, Revival is set to offer gamers many hours (or days) of both adventure and fun. Those familiar with strategy games probably won't find Revival too difficult to understand, but I'm not sure about those not accustomed to strategy scenarios. Anyway, once you get used to Revival's interface, everything should go much easier. Which doesn't mean you'll easily win the battles with the enemy clans, but only that you will "move" inside the game more naturally...

That's not necessarily a bad thing, as the old game was excellent entertainment and managed to bring hours and hours of addictive challenges.Snow Lines is more of a fiddlestick for the mobile gamer, as the old Happy Lines version was just as great and brought exactly the same puzzles. The only difference stands in the design. Instead of having some leaves and fall from the top of the screen and balloons in the background, we now see snowflakes and snowmen. It'...

The greatest villains of all times relied on more than dumb luck when going on a high-stakes robbery. It's just about wits and planning directed towards the dark side. "Stolen in 60 Seconds" is not the first game to place its player among the bad guys, but asks for his intelligence rather than his evil side.Herocraft has targeted this game especially towards those brain challenge addicts and scored big time.
