Order Up Game Review

Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsay said, "Kitchens are run on emotions. I may get upset. But the most important thing is, it's not personal." That might very well be, but when emotions run hot, the orders start flying in, and chaos erupts, a kitchen becomes a pressure cooker. In this game, all the players are attempting to get orders out the door as fast as they can, but there are only so many plates of ingredients to be had. The player who works the fastest and is the most aggressive will win, but don't expect to make many friends along the way.

Introducing the Origami Millennium Falcon

Star Wars has been a passion of mine ever since I saw the (original) film in the movie theaters at the tender age of 2. HOLY CRAP, I'M OLD! Darth Vader scared the bejesus out of me (good thing I was still in diapers), but the idea of spaceships, distant planets, and countless alien races fascinated me. As I grew up, I read books about the Star Wars universe, learned about its characters, collected all the toys, ran around the house shouting "PEW! PEW!", and grew to revere George Lucas as a god like being who could do no wrong.

Top Promoter Game Review

Legendary boxing promoter Don King said, "I don't promote boxing, I promote people. Boxing is a catalyst to bring people together." In this game, players will be doing the same. It's not about the boxing, it's about the people and the money it attracts. As a boxing promoter, you need to work with other promoters to create engaging boxing matches, but you don't want your boxer to lose. Losers don't take home paychecks.

Hylaria Game Review (prepublished version)

Buddha reportedly said, "Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill." In this game, what you say and don't say will be listened to, dissected, analyzed, and interpreted to mean something you most likely didn't intend. Which might or might not have been your plan. Above all else, never say what you mean, but mean what you say though gestures, acting, whistles, fart noises, and so on. Pretty sure Buddha is now rolling his eyes.

Earth Encounters Game Review (prepublished version)

Regardless of the counter-measures and fail-safes put in place, the MicroV has escaped. This deadly alien life form is invisible, intelligent, and will do anything to survive. Records show that a ship was stolen and is headed towards a remote planet in the Milky Way known as "Earth" by its inhabitants. You are being sent to find, capture, and return MicroV before it devours all life on Earth. But to do that, you will need the help of the earthlings. You must prove to them your superior intellect before they will take you seriously.

Portholes Game Review

When the fully automated prison was opened, its governing AI was hailed as the greatest thing ever created. That was over 100 years ago. The AI, KAL 9000, is now old and slow. The prison population has been cut back to reduce the amount of demand on the AI, but it's still being taxed. After it's latest update, KAL 9000 divided by zero and decide that the most logical thing to do was to blow up the prison. As an inmate of LUNA-2, you have this one chance to get out before everything explodes.
