Last April, Caravel Games released The City Beneath, the third major release in their wonderfully clever Deadly Rooms of Death game series. DROD, a series known for its brutally difficult puzzles, has raised the bar with each release, delivering harder and more challenging tricks and traps to its puzzle-hungry fans.

Back in May, GameCyte attended the unveiling of Nokia's mysterious "Project White Rock," a new game for the phone giant's relaunched N-Gage platform. That game turned out to be Reset Generation, a retro-themed head-to-head puzzle/boardgame/combat mashup which would also be free available, for free, on PC. We later had the chance to play Reset Generation on its [...]

Reset Generation has launched today, and as promised, the PC version is available for free. Why not play it right here? You could maybe rescue some princesses, fire a cannon or two. What's not to like? Live a little, Bubelah. The game's right after the jump!
