March of Heroes Will Be Gameloft’s First Unreal Engine Game
Perpetual copycats (though we won't hold that against them) Gameloft have finally given us a nugget regarding their much-anticipated Unreal Engine-based outing. The name of the game March of Heroes was announced by the Paris-headquartered studio via Twitter...and that is pretty much that, I'm afraid. We can expect more details, however, from the fast-approaching E3 conference in Los Angeles, but until then it’s up to us to interpret the title ourselves. We reckon it’ll either be a WW2-based shooter in the vein of Medal of Honour or Call of Duty, or it’ll be a superhero inspired walking simulator. I wonder which one to plump for...…
Speedball 2 Evolution Free For One Day
As part of the FreeAppADay initiative, Bitmap Bros.'s iOS remake of their brutal classic Speedball 2 Evolution is free for one day only. That is, today! The FreeAppADay app lets users wish for any popular paid app to become free for 24 hours. So, if futuristic, extreme, team-based sports are your thing, thank your lucky FreeAppADay stars and get downloading. A few months ago on review, we commented that 'despite having 20 years under its belt, Speedball 2 Evolution still feels as fun as it ever did.' Andrew thus saw fit to throw Speedball 2 Evolution a 4 (out of 5) rating...and that was when we were paying for the privilege.…
Tackle A Pop-Infused Zombie Apocalypse In Save Toshi 2
If only some otherworldly demonic force would burst through the earth's crust and drag some of the tepid, lifeless, manufactured popstar pap away from our screens, newspapers, and lives... Perhaps thoughts like this were going through the team at Nitako's collective minds as they sat down to discuss the plotline of their latest outing - and sequel to Save Toshi - Popstar Physics. Demons have kidnapped cutesy anime popstar Toshi, and without her devil-slaying dance powers to protect the world, a zombie apocalypse has ensued. Popstar Physics unsurprisingly serves up more of the same Save Toshi-style action: you're tasked with shooting balls around to destroy zombie clones of the unfortunate…
Stunning Tower Defence Game Sentinel 3: Homeworld Gets Update
Origin8's visually striking tower defence game Sentinel 3: Homeworld has been given new DLC, an update, and a celebratory 80% price slash. Yipppee!! The fresh downloadable content includes 15 new campaign levels across 15 new maps, with the first two of each free for those of us lucky enough to already own this 5-star game. New weapons such as the Vortex and Turret Energizer Sentinel are available after the update, alongside the Energy Syphon, which satisfyingly converts kills into ship energy. Toss in six new challenge modes and that price cut to 99c is starting to look like a real bargain. Don't dally, though: the sale is only on until 30th May, so space cadets should get their boots…
Prose With Bros Now With Added Banter
iOS insult-'em-up Prose with Bros has just received an update including a new word pack, tweaked sentence creation, and some bug fixes. Previously, stringing together random words to make ridiculously convoluted sentences and then having them rated for awesomeness over 24 hours had been a stop / start experience, with bugs rife throughout. No more. The developers Evil Laugh Games have bestowed upon us 300 more words (on top of the 1100 aready available) with which players can banter their way into nonsensical sentence creation infamy. Besides that, the buggy word-dragging feature has been oiled up a bit, preventing words getting stuck on screen. Hopefully, wordsmiths won't find as m…
Evil Dead Shooter Decomposing Its Way Onto iOS
Fans of Sam Raimi's Evil Dead movie trilogy can ogle some shiny new images from the soon-to-be-arriving movie spin-off iOS game. Players can take on the role of Ashley J. "Ash" Williams, as he mutilates his way through hordes of Deadites, rescues his friends, and takes down bosses. All this with his trademark boomsticks, axes, and chainsaws in tow. As you can see in the screenshots, the game has a distinctly chibi style with super deformed characters sporting massive cartoon noggins as they dish out mass zomicide. Early reports indicate that while the game follows the same storyline as the movies, there are other plotlines involved to keep things interesting. You'll be able to play throu…
