Hi everyone, and welcome to the latest installment of My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss all the games I've been playing over the last seven days. I played fewer games this week, as I was focusing most of of my attention on a couple, including one about a sentient fruit. Some of these also aren't releasing for another day or two, but I figured it could help to see some video and…
Avo! By: Playdeo Full motion video (FMV) games and interactive television really do seem to be getting popular, what with Netflix's Bandersnatch bringing it mainstream. Just last week, I reviewed The Shapeshifting Detective, the latest murder mystery to get ported over to iOS. Now we have one geared at kids, and it's about a sentient avocado that you can control.

Avo! By: Playdeo Avo! is a new full motion video (FMV) game by Playdeo (get it? Video you play?), in which you control a living, breathing avocado! I mean, I assume he breathes but he has no mouth, so I can't be sure. Anyway, you draw paths for him to follow so he can pick up magic beans that make him go faster (hmmmmm....) and also unlock new episodes. There are also…
Hi everyone, and welcome back to My Week Unwrapped, where I discuss all the games I've been playing over the last seven days. This week was a busy one with lots of games to cover, though some were also brought up last week. I wrote a few reviews since then, which should help you decide once and for all whether to grab those games. Anyway, there's a lot to cover, so let's…
