Review by Justin Brough, edited by Elizabeth M. Lukan.
Splash is an addicting action/puzzle game in which you play a cute little orange fish named… Splash! The main objective of the game is to use Splash’s ability to squirt water to prevent colored balls from falling into his pond. The pebbles and some other interesting power ups fall down long tubes, and Splash has to send them back up. Apparently Splash runs a pretty tight ship and really dislikes colored pebbles, because if even one pebble makes it into the pond, you lose.
Splash is a decently fun game, I won’t say that it’s great, but it is addicting and is a great time waster. If any of you readers have played Zuma or Luxor and found you really liked it, well then you will love this game too. It’s not something everyone will love though. The levels, while addicting and fast paced, are repetitive and begin to strain the wrist after extended play.
In short, Splash is a fun, time wasting, and addicting game. Give the (adware and spyware free!) trial a shot and see what you think. You may like it, but if not then just uninstall it and no harm done.

A note from the Author:
Hello everyone and welcome to a new section of your favorite fishy newsletter! My name is Justin Brough, and I have been graciously accepted by Elizabeth M. Lukan to write this little section of the newsletter. Some background about me: (don’t worry, I’ll only be writing this once so you mainstays of the newsletter won’t have to read it more than once) I go to Cal Poly Pomona where I major in Finance, Real Estate, and Law and will be heading to law school after a few more quarters. When I was a young boy my parents owned a fish store and I worked there for many, many years learning all I could about fish, rodents, reptiles, and all the other classes of pets. For the past few years, concurrent with my studies, I have been a part of the excellent Animal-World.com team! Working on the web has taught me a lot about the internet, computers, and fish and it is this knowledge that I hope to share with you now and in the future.
The concept behind this section is to try and tell you (the reader) about some of the wonderful fish related programs out there. Each newsletter will, ideally, have a new game or program reviewed for you so you can decide whether or not it is worth your time to check it out.
So let us begin! (This format is under construction and may undergo drastic and earth shattering changes, so don’t get too used to it)
