A battle card strategy game that starts out feeling like challenging game of Chess but soon feels more like a simplistic game of Checkers

In a couple of the cases I was genuinely surprised how well the software worked. Text that I could barely make out was interpreted perfectly. Conversely, perfectly legible text in standard fonts was not transferred at all.

If you like difficult games, you’ll love Crossbones. This card-matching game might have a pirate’s tenderness when it comes to serving up its learning curve, but once you learn how to play, it’s a fast-paced, thrilling card game that requires some mental agility.

Melody Match is a new twist on the classic card-matching game using—you guessed it—sound clips instead of flash cards. Some of the melodies are real treats for the ear, and the game uses a variety of themes, ranging from snippets of Bach and Mozart to upbeat Brazilian tunes to traditional songs like Yankee Doodle.

The Touchmaster series is generally quite good on the Nintendo DS platform, and while the games here are also good, there isn’t as much variety present. Furthermore, while the games Midway has included aren’t all that exciting, if you are a puzzle fan you’ll definitely find something here to like.

MONOPOLY Here & Now: The World Edition includes updated properties which are far more expensive than those in the classic game. It takes some getting used to not having Boardwalk and Ventura, for example, but Instanbul and London serve as suitable substitues. The game loads quickly, looks great, and generally plays great. Includes modes for one player, multiple players by passing the iPhone around, as well as wifi multi-play (on the same router).

This free matching game is worth every penny!
