GameGuru — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 10:13:03 -0700

When I first saw the video game title, I thought that the game was a dating simulation or something of that sort since the game was called Fix-It-Up Eighties: Meet Kate's Parents. I couldn't have been more wrong, albeit pleasantly, once I began playing. The game's concept couldn't have been farther from dating; it was all about cars and running an auto shop!

Keep Catching Them Fruits In The Angry Fruit Video Game

GameGuru — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 01:12:43 -0700

When I first heard of Angry Fruit, I thought that it might have something to do with Angry Birds. It's hard not to relate any other video game that begins with "Angry" to the best-selling avian-inspired game. Anyhow, I was wrong because it didn't have anything to do with Angry Birds. In fact, the game doesn't really have anything to do with anything angry at all.

Catch The Culprit In The Cause Of Death iPod Game

GameGuru — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 11:32:06 -0700

Cause of Death is another fantastic role-playing game from Electronic Arts similar to the tune of Surviving High School, a game that I reviewed some time ago. The big difference between the two is obviously the plot. Since I went crazy over Surviving High School, I immediately pounced upon Cause of Death without any second thoughts.

GameGuru — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 00:05:29 -0700

What do you get if you put a slingshot and a pig together? Pig Shot, that's what. It's an entertaining game for the iPhone and iPod Touch that doesn't require a whole of thinking but a whole lot of pig shooting. All that tumbling makes for one unfortunate and constantly dizzy pig. How far can you go before you bump into a rock or collide with a sheep that won't go easy on you once you do?

GameGuru — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 10:30:00 -0700

I love the idea that GameSalad is putting forward.
