CityVille is Zynga’s long-awaited entry in the city-building genre, which has proven itself amazingly durable on Facebook. Where many city-builders must be played strictly in brief bursts, CityVille actually offers enough to do that you can spend a considerably longer amount of time with it per session. In theory you can only do things until you run out of energy, but I found myself needing to wait for things to happen more often than I found myself waiting for my energy to regenerate.

Taking to the high seas seems to be all the rage in iPhone games nowadays. Pirate Nation paved the way a few months back, Lil’ Pirates cemented the concept, and now ngmoco is walking the plank with Adventure Bay, a game that takes everything you loved about the We series and infuses it with a dose of high seas adventure.

Jill Evans is back for Cake Mania: To the Max, the sixth part of this highly popular time management brand. But what can be done in a series that has already covered time-travelling, managing different shops, or building bakeries from scratch? Well, it’s time-travelling again, only this time around the player will get a glimpse into Jill’s past, namely, her high school days in the 1980s.

After hour upon hour of complicated stories, tough puzzles, creepy characters and the serious business of hardcore hidden object adventure gaming, it's nice sometimes to get back to the basics of looking for random items amidst overflowing piles of fantastic junk. That's what Chronicles of Albian: The Magic Convention serves up in spades: Straight-ahead hidden object gaming that keeps things simple, light-hearted and lots of fun.

I'll never forget being at a certain game developers' conference several years ago and hearing one budding game designer stand up and ask the panel why anyone would ever want to buy more than one match-3 game. "Aren't they all the same?" was the question he was asking. The answer is, of course, "no, far from it," but here at Gamezebo we knew that already. Case in point is Bejeweled 3. After almost 10 years of Bejeweled, the latest title in the franchise still manages to give us new modes and variations to enjoy. Add to that crisp new high-res graphics and you have a sure fire winner for Bejeweled fanatics.

Paradise Island: Exotic for the iPhone and iPod Touch promises to fulfill the island fantasies that many people dream of. However the path to progress is long and difficult, as well as a bit of a bore. Without much to do and little payoff, Paradise Island: Exotic is not the island you’re dreaming of.
