We thought it would be fun to review some of the casual games we currently have available in our JA Casual Game Center. Needless to say, these games are very addictive and while our enthusiastic reviews are, for the most part short, the time spent playing these games is not. Once you have read the review, drop by the JA Casual Game Center and download a free trial version of the game for yourself, but remember – you have been warned!

Turbo Subs screenshot - click to enlargeTurbo Subs marks the return of Rebecca and Robert from the hit game Turbo Pizza. Here, they open sub shops in three NYC locations: a subway car, a Coney Island carousel and (get this) the Statue of Liberty’s torch.

This game offers the same high-quality look and sound as its predecessor, but it’s a lot more challenging and has some new elements. If Turbo Subs doesn’t give you an adrenaline rush — particularly toward the end of its 60 levels — you’re probably dead.

When juggling several sub orders at once it’s easy to mess things up. Many levels also feature a thief who tries to steal tips from the counter. Advanced levels can make insane demands and move at breakneck speeds.

All of this can definitely turn strategy to chaos. Once things start going wrong, it can be hard to recover. A few stumbles can cost you an entire level.

I found Turbo Subs to be fun but quite intense; I can only recommend it to time-management game veterans. If you’re a novice, I suggest starting with the kinder, gentler Turbo Pizza and working your way up.
