Aiko Island
Is It Any Good?
AIKO ISLAND doesn't follow the path of virtually every other game in the puzzle field and that alone makes it worthy of notice. While the game itself isn't revolutionary (it's a physics-based block popper, where you must eliminate all but the blue blocks onscreen), its inclusion of a branching path system, letting you decide which puzzles to tackle next, is nice. And the multiplayer mode, letting you compete against friends via speed-run results, is a nice solution to the solo gaming silo so many puzzlers fall into. The plot is completely forgettable, but that's not unusual. On the whole, it's different enough to be worth of your time.
