Hi everyone! Welcome to yet another installment of My Week Unwrapped, where I go over everything I've been up to this past week related to iOS gaming. There aren't too many games to cover today but they're all good ones. And make sure you scroll down for current sales! Thimbleweed Park I'd been working on my review for Ron Gilbert's Thimbleweed Park for a while now, due to The Witness distracting me.…
Thimbleweed Park By: Terrible Toybox (Ron Gilbert) As a point-and-click adventure fan, I knew I was supposed to be excited about Thimbleweed Park when it was announced, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I had mixed feelings. As I mentioned here, I didn't grow up on LucasArts games, but rather those like Broken Sword. So I don't have any nostalgic attachment to the retro art or old school action verb…
Hi everyone, and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss all the games I've been playing over the last seven days. If you've been following closely, you've probably noticed that I've been spending a lot of my time with the Witness. This is true and hopefully won't bother anyone, as I'm really enjoying it. But I did manage to fit in some time for other games and write a few…
Hi everyone! I don't know about you, but I'm overwhelmed by all the amazing games we've been getting over the last few weeks. Just when I think I can sort of maybe juggle the four games I'm in middle of, out pops another high-profile game I've been waiting for. It truly is a great time to be a mobile gamer, and even more so if you like puzzle and adventure games. But…
Thimbleweed Park By: Terrible Toybox (Ron Gilbert) This is just a short guide to help those playing the mobile version of Thimbleweed Park find the shortcuts to make the game more user-friendly. Some of these options are not so obvious at first, so they're easy to miss. I missed them myself during my first hour or so playing. So first off, you can read the helpful tips in the settings. You're shown…
Thimbleweed Park By: Terrible Toybox (Ron Gilbert) I'm not going to mince words. When I first heard about and saw screenshots of Ron Gilbert's Thimbleweed Park, I had some excitement mixed with dread. Dread that it would mimic old retro games to a point that wouldn't be enjoyable for me. I'm very sensitive about games wasting my time, and a list of action verbs on the screen was not that appealing to…
Hi everyone! Last week I switched My Week Unwrapped to Mondays so I'm not rushing to get it out Sunday night. So far, that's been working great, but this is an insanely busy week for games that are both already out or releasing this week...even tomorrow! I'm trying to complete some games before release so I can review them, so my blurbs this week might be on the short side. In any…
Thimbleweed Park By: Ron Gilbert Update: Thimbleweed Park is now out on iOS! I've heard that Ron Gilbert's Thimbleweed Park is inspired by the television show, Twin Peaks, but I didn't really know what that meant until I started watching the 1990 show about a week ago. While I'm still early on in the show, its quirkiness has piqued my interest in the game. And there's obviously some X-Files stuff going on…
