Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse - Episode 4: Beyond the Alley of the Dolls (2010)
Beyond the Alley of the Dolls is the weakest episode of the season so far, but it's still well worth following the progressively outrageous storyline to its superb cliffhanger conclusion.
Urban Runner (1996)
With its continuous timed actions and puzzles, Urban Runner isn’t for everyone, but it’s a solid thriller worth playing for fans of interactive movies.
Puzzle Agent (2010)
Vastly different from Telltale’s other games, Puzzle Agent is a solid puzzler that provides ample challenge to go with its interesting story, all done with a unique style and cartoon charm.
Sam & Max: The Devil’s Playhouse - Episode 3: They Stole Max’s Brain! (2010)
This episode doesn't showcase the duo at their best, but it's still worth your while to continue following where they’re headed.
Jolly Rover (2010)
Jolly Rover may not be the most original of stories, but if you’re in the mood for something short and sweet and not too challenging, this funny pirate (dog) adventure gives you plenty of chuckles and lots to sink your teeth into.
Black Mirror II (2010)
It never truly excels, but returning players and series newcomers alike should enjoy most of what’s on display in Black Mirror II, a suspenseful mystery that takes a new route through a familiar journey into madness.
Again (2010)
Again could have been better, but it’s still a must-play for fans of Cing’s other games—and if you’re willing to forgive some story issues to experience the creative gameplay, it’s worth checking out by any DS owner who enjoys crime drama.
Blue Toad Murder Files: The Mysteries of Little Riddle (2010)
If you loved the first half of the Blue Toad Murder Files, you should enjoy the second half as well, though the short new episodes start to feel a little like exactly the same game with the novelty worn off.
Blue Toad Murder Files: Episode 1 - Little Riddle’s Deadly Dilemma (2009)
The first three Blue Toad Murder Files are fun, quality episodic whodunits for up to four people, but they’re so short they can’t fully satisfy even one.
Blue Toad Murder Files: Episode 2 - The Mystery of Riddle Manor (2009)
The first three Blue Toad Murder Files are fun, quality episodic whodunits for up to four people, but they’re so short they can’t fully satisfy even one.
Blue Toad Murder Files: Episode 3 - The Mystery of the Concealing Flame (2010)
The first three Blue Toad Murder Files are fun, quality episodic whodunits for up to four people, but they’re so short they can’t fully satisfy even one.
Simon the Sorcerer 5: Who’d Even Want Contact? (2010)
Simon’s spacefaring adventure never reaches the comic heights of his early successes, but Who’d Even Want Contact? marks one small step in the right direction.
Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island (2010)
A series of small issues prevent it from shining as brightly as it could have, but its fun puzzles in a cool setting make Ghost Pirates of Vooju Island an entertaining adventure.
Black Circle – A Carol Reed Mystery (2009)
Black Circle is another enjoyable if occasionally uneasy visit to the city of Norrköping for an intriguing mystery with the detective Carol Reed.
3 Cards to Dead Time (2010)
3 Cards to Dead Time is a (very) lite word-based adventure that offers a gripping ghost story full of interesting characters. However, its casual nature means it isn't for everyone, and the sequel doesn't quite measure up to the standards of its predecessor.
Big Brain Wolf (2009)
Big Brain Wolf may have its shortcomings, but it’s a cheap and enjoyable little puzzle-based adventure that's more challenging than its cartoon visuals would have you believe.
Mystery Case Files: Dire Grove (2009)
Despite a few arbitrary cracks, Dire Grove is another (frozen) solid entry in the growing casual adventure library, and a worthy addition to the Mystery Case Files series.
