Put the Killer Behind Bars in the Real Crimes: The Unicorn Killer Video Game

by GameGuru

Real Crimes: The Unicorn Killer intrigued me from the get-go because it wasn't just your ordinary hidden object mystery game. It was based on a true crime that happened in 1977, hence the title. This fact can turn off a lot of people right from the start. I mean, one reason why people turn to games and to a virtual world is to escape from the real one, right? Even for just a little while.

Hit Three in a Row in the Zuma Deluxe Video Game

by GameGuru

Now Zuma Deluxe is a Match 3 type of video game that I think is definitely a force to be reckoned with. I first played this game a few years back when I was still in college.

I eventually forgot about it until yesterday.
