App Review: Sometimes, All A Game Needs Is Colour, Shape And Music
One of the most popular puzzle games on Android and iOS right now does not contain birds, angry or otherwise. There are no rotating blocks. You don’t have to match three of anything.

It started with a tease by 2old2play.com writer Derek Nolan, who hinted that he had seen something unannounced at Bethesda’s booth during E3 in Los Angeles last week.
