Atlantis Sky Patrol Review

Review Big Fish Games, Inc By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 7 months ago
Atlantis Sky Patrol Review

It's hard not to get a little excited when you talk about Atlantis Sky Patrol (ASP), because it's such a good game that you'll want to show it off. ASP is Big Fish Game's response to the arcade marble-match genre and it's large, fun and amazingly hard to turn off. Unlike a lot of other similar games, there's only one control scheme available. In minimizing the controls, a lot more effort has gone in to ensuring its accuracy and usefulness. The ability to swap your current marble is ac…

Breakspin Review

Review Disney By Damian Chiappara, 14 years, 7 months ago
Breakspin Review

Breakspin is a brick breaker type game with a few creative twists. While players still need to smash all the little gems in order to finish the levels, players now control two paddles on either side of the gems that can be moved independently of each other. Meaning players have more of a chance to hit that last pesky gem. You control the two paddles by using each of your thumbs to slide along the bars on the side of the iPhone screen and tap the middle of the screen to launch the ball…

Civilization Revolution Review

Review 2K By Dave Flodine, 14 years, 7 months ago
Civilization Revolution Review

Sid Meirs' Civilization series is one of the most addictive strategic video games in history. A bold statement, but its tech trees, exploration, and 'one more turn' style of gameplay has kept this reviewer glued to his screen since the early 90s. In this port of the most recent game in the series, we see how this style of gameplay transfers to the iPhone. You start the game by choosing a world leader and beginning your civilization around 3000 BC. As you build your armies, cities, and…

Timeloop Review

Review Connect2Media By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 7 months ago
Timeloop Review

Puzzle games have always tried to remain entertaining by introducing game mechanics that are simple to grasp, but eventually complex to execute. This keeps a game tantalisingly fun to play, while scratching your brain in all the right places. TimeLoop challenges players to think fourth-dimensionally as you use copies of yourself to rescue the professor from each puzzling room. Each room is navigated by your hapless robot called Nik by touching where he needs to go. This would sound ea…

Duke Nukem 3D Review

Review MachineWorks Northwest By Dave Flodine, 14 years, 7 months ago
Duke Nukem 3D Review

Duke Nukem 3D, arguably one of the finest first person shooters ever made. Now a port of the game comes to the iPhone with a unique control scheme to compensate for the lack of a mouse and keyboard. The question though is does it deliver the experience we all remember and love. The game offers two control schemes and both have their problems. The analog setup features two control sticks down the bottom of the screen (one to move, one to shoot), while the digital setup breaks the stick…
