Ravensword: The Fallen King Review

Review EA Chillingo By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 4 months ago
Ravensword: The Fallen King Review

Many have tried before, but Chillingo has brought traditional Western 3D RPGs to the iPhone in a big way with Ravensword: The Fallen King. Ravensword combines traditional RPG elements with and a story focused gameplay system that tries to live up to games like The Witcher making it a stand out addition to iTunes and well worth checking out.

Harry Potter: Spells Review

Review Warner Bros. By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 4 months ago
Harry Potter: Spells Review

Harry Potter: Spells is an amazing experience from Warner Brothers for the iPhone that is probably worth getting for the sheer nerd factor of having a wizard duel with your friends in real time. Complex gestures will translate into spells that will harm your opponent and protect you from danger, making dueling a match of wits and accuracy that will have you waving your iPhone around till your arm hurts. Spells are activated by holding the iPhone much like a wand, then holding your thu…

The Settlers Review

Review Gameloft By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 4 months ago
The Settlers Review

It would be easier to describe The Settlers for classic gamers by saying that this iPhone app is The Settlers IV and hasn't been sullied by the withering touch of Ubisoft. That's a good thing for everyone else because The Settlers by Gameloft represents the best this franchise ever had. Ostensibly being a real time strategy, the interface consists mostly of clicks and drags to select units and assign them targets - either to attack, defend or work. The main goal of The Settlers is to…

Crazy Chicken Deluxe - Grouse Hunting Review

Review Acmee GmbH By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 4 months ago

The duck-shoot is a classic arcade staple, one that evolved to using light-guns and complex animatronic vistas that rewarded your patience and accuracy with whacky antics. Crazy Chicken Deluxe - Grouse Hunting by Acmee is an iPhone light-gun shooter that rewards your ability to think laterally and shoot accurately with huge points and maybe even a chuckle or two.

DOOM Classic Review

Review Bethesda By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
DOOM Classic Review

1993. Bill Clinton was sworn into office; Monica Seles was stabbed by a crazy fan; and id Software released Doom, the first-person shooter that defined the 90s in gaming for its controversy, graphical excellence, multiplayer gaming and customization. Gaming has come a long way since those early days, but Doom is a game that will forever be imprinted in the memories of those who grew up in the 90s.

Coast Defense - Reloaded Review

Review GAMEHUNTER By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
Coast Defense - Reloaded Review

It's easy to automatically get into a bad mood when faced with "yet another" castle defense style game, but it's nice to be surprised once in a while by a developer. Coast Defense by Elene Kim manages to breathe some life in to a genre that has suffered for its clones, which automatically makes this a game worth checking out. Coast Defense uses a combination of tilting to pan the screen, dragging a reticule to aim your shots on incoming troops and a trigger in the bottom corner. The r…

Boxed In 2 Review

Boxed In 2 is a puzzle game where players must get their small robot to the exit of each level by manoeuvring boxes and opening up different gates to clear a path.

It does this without being so large an app that it takes half of your spare time to load, so you'll be in the thick of it before you know it.
