Review: Heaven (PC)
Heaven Genre: Adventure Developer: GenesisWorks Publisher: GenesisWorks Release Date: 09/15/2009 When I was told I was going to review Heaven, I was told that it was a Christian game.

Review: Colorz (WiiWare)
Colorz Genre: Action/Puzle Developer: Exkee Publisher: Exkee Release Date: 09/07/2009 I was first introduced to Colorz by a trailer I found on the developer’s website.
