Pew Pew Land - Multiplay Defense Game Review

Review Mobile Force By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Pew Pew Land - Multiplay Defense Game Review

Pew Pew Land by Mobile Force is probably one of the first tower defense games to incorporate such a comprehensive set of multiplayer features and is definitely deserving of its 'Multiplay Defense Game' title. Pew Pew's TD gameplay is almost worth the price of entry by itself, but with the ability to play head to head against friends or even co-cooperatively this is definitely a must grab title. Pew Pew's gameplay is standard for tower defense games, using a grid based positioning syst…

Alive 4-ever RETURNS Review

Alive 4-ever RETURNS Review

Meridian's first entry in the Alive 4-ever series was hard to fault, with a style that transformed the incredible popularity of Left 4 Dead for the PC in to something exciting and playable for iPhone owners. With such a great first title in the series, the sequel 'RETURNS' certainly had huge shoes to fill, but it not only filled those shoes, it completely pimped them out. The same tight dual-stick controls are used in the sequel, making movement and aiming easy and accurate from the g…

Hamster Panic Review

Review afzainizam zahari By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Hamster Panic Review

Hamsters are undoubtedly cute and fun pets to own as long as you're not allergic to them, but they can be hungry little devils that will eat themselves sick (or worse) if you're not careful. Hamster Panic places you in charge of two hamsters, one full to the brim, the other in desperate need of a fill. A delicate balance needs to be struck between your cute furball companions, but with obstacles like hot slices of toast and a house-cat on the prowl making things even more difficult you…

RPG Snake - The Adventure of Akua Review

Review Slime Marmalade By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
RPG Snake - The Adventure of Akua Review

If there's any game that's synonymous with mobile phones, it'd have to be Snake. This classic arcade title has been crawling its way around screens since the late 70's and saw a huge resurgence in the late 90's thanks to Nokia phones. But what does all of this have to do with RPGs? 'RPG Snake - The Adventure of Akua' is Slime Marmalade's take on this iconic game, following the adventures of a knight out to rescue a princess (you know, that old chestnut) and the various fantasy foes he…

Review Atakama Labs Inc By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Freaking Inkies Review

Colorful inky blobs have invaded your library and they're ruining your classics from music tabs to your secret stash of comic books, but what can you do? Freaking Inkies by Atakama Labs lets you fight back against the inky-scourge by shooting down each blob in this unique and extremely addictive title. Inkies uses a combination of tilt controls and buttons placed on the edge of the screen to fire colored blobs at your foes. The tilt controls are amazingly accurate and smooth, rivaled…

Review OOO Gameprom By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Pinball HD iPad Review

Previously available as a series of collectable games with various tables for your iPhone, The Pinball HD brings OOO Gameprom's style of pinball to the iPad as a complete package. Getting started couldn't be easier with the plunger being controlled by a simple touch and drag to launch your ball. The table's flippers are activated by touching either side of the game screen, providing a basic and responsive way to control the game. There's no tutorial available to teach you how to play…

Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion! Review

Review Artificial Life, Inc. By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Linkin Park 8-Bit Rebellion! Review

The lead-up to the release of Linkin Park's new beat'em-up inspired game '8-Bit Rebellion' was certainly an interesting one. Friends who professed their love for the band were immediately excited; friends who professed their hatred were immediately turned off; and there was me, stuck in the middle hoping that developer Artificial Life had created more than just an interactive, branded marketing tool. 8-Bit keeps things ratcheted back with basic movement and attacking controls using to…

Kick-Ass: The Game Review

Review Frozen Codebase By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Kick-Ass: The Game Review

Kick-A*s: The Game was subject to some level of controversy thanks to a 'pre-release' version of the game mysteriously making its way on to the iTunes servers earlier this month. Needless to say, the game was riddled with bugs and various other problems that had a negative impact on its publicity. Faith in the franchise was marginally restored once the game was pulled from iTunes, but with the release of the final version now here, has this faith been duly rewarded? The short answer i…

Mini Plane Review

Review Pascal Bestebroer By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Mini Plane Review

As a simple touch-based endless game, you'll dive, climb and dodge incoming planes with ease while rescuing stranded victims and claiming stars for bonus points in Mini Plane by OrangePixel. But it isn't always smooth sailing as you slowly progress through the game's content. By touching the screen your plane is given a boost of power, pulling its nose up and out of your initial nose-dive. As you progress, planes and helicopters will provide aerial obstacles to avoid, while the citysc…

BLACKOUT! Review

Review Disney By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
BLACKOUT! Review

BLACKOUT! by Sunken Media is the latest puzzle game to be published by Disney for the App Store. Players will require more than just their luck and observational skills as BLACKOUT! focuses on the puzzle aspect of powering up cities that have been without power for too long. Power sources under the city have been blocked off, but carefully clearing out paths will allow the energy to flow around the level in order to light up the remaining switched off lights. Paths can be blown up by…

The Impossible Game Review

Review FlukeDude Ltd By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
The Impossible Game Review

Originally an XBox 360 Arcade title, The Impossible Game has now made a home for itself on the App Store, bringing whole bags of frustration that will either inspire you to victory or crush your spirit in anger. The premise for The Impossible Game is simple: Finish the level. There's only one level to complete, but getting to the end will require sharp reflexes and a keen memory to get there intact. When you begin, your block will slide out of control along the level leaving you to ta…

Ozone Review

Review Ignacio Sanchez Gines By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Ozone Review

Developer Geardome asks their customers, "Can a game be a piece of art?". The debate over this may rage on in tiny pockets of the internet (and in some cases in mainstream media), but truthfully 'Ozone' by Geardome skirts awfully close to art and delivers an experience that's complex and dazzling in its execution. Your orb is pushed around the game's various mazes by touching a direction on the virtual d-pad. This releases a small portion of your remaining gas, which in turn shrinks y…

StarCannon Review

Review Jagex By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
StarCannon Review

Jagex Game Studio, better known for their great selection of free games online have recently released a port of their popular shoot'em-up title 'StarCannon' for the iPhone. Strangely, something seems to have been lost in translation and this title bears very little resemblance to the game's progenitor. Like most recent shoot'em-ups, StarCannon uses a touch and drag system to control the player's ship. Firing is automatic while touching the screen and the ship will automatically steer…

Top Dog: Farmyard Adventures Review

Review Flightless By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Top Dog: Farmyard Adventures Review

The agricultural system of New Zealand is important to its country, providing most of its major exports to the world. Images such as a shepherd rounding up his sheep with the help of a sheepdog are iconic to NZ's pastoral landscape, so it's little wonder that local developers 'Flightless' have based their latest App Store game around this rural chore. Top Dog: Farmyard Adventures puts you in the place of a shepherd calling out directions to his faithful sheepdog in order to round up t…

Tiptop Review

Review On5 By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Tiptop Review

In what could be the first of a series of games from developer On5, 'Tiptop: the last march.' is a Lemmings-inspired game that's married with pop-culture to create a challenging and (at times) tongue-in-cheek experience that's hard to put down. In order to assist your heroes lines can be drawn on to the level, providing a path for them to walk on or as barriers against enemies. Much like other line-drawing games, you're given a limited amount of 'ink' to use with drawn lines only stay…
