Ace Tennis 2010 Online Review

Lately it seems to be the season for sports titles, which shouldn't be too much of a surprise as Summer starts to get in to full swing. Enter Ace Tennis 2010 Online, the latest in Eurocenter's multiplayer Tennis series. For those who just have to get up and move, Ace Tennis features several accelerometer optimized actions to get you in the zone. Tilting your device after hitting the ball will curve, lob or drop balls, giving you relatively precise positioning of where your hits are go…

FarmVille by Zynga Review

No matter how you feel about Farmville, whether you're sick of it clogging up your Facebook account or if you're a helpless thrall to its addictive gameplay, you have to admire just how much Zynga understands social gaming.

Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Pro Review

Review Tatem Games By Andrew Nesvadba, 13 years, 11 months ago
Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Pro Review

The scope and size of 'Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter' is almost difficult to truly take in on your first attempt to play this sci-fi hunting simulator by Tatem Games. This isn't an action-filled FPS and you'll need patience, skill and the steel will of a hunter to truly appreciate this mammoth title. The game's basic controls are relatively standard for an FPS, however instead of the usual health-gauge, ammo indicator or rack of guns the interface is streamlined to provide you with all…

2XL TROPHYLITE Rally Review

2XL Games are no stranger to the odd sports racing title on the App Store and are well known for their visual quality and smooth controls. So it almost goes without saying that if you're a fan of their previous titles, 2XL TROPHYLITE Rally might already tickle your fancy. There are three major control schemes to choose from, with left and right variants for two of these and coupled with 2XL's steering assist you'll be clocking times like a professional in no time. The tilt-based optio…

X2 Football 10/11 Review

X2 Football 10/11 Review

Where other Soccer games on the iPhone tend towards an arcade experience to their gameplay, X2 Soccer 2010 builds on the success of the first title in its series and solidifies X2 Games as having one the best simulated experiences for Soccer on the App Store.

Zombie Farm Review

Zombie Farm Review

While it may be a little late to the party, Zombie Farm by Playforge combines two hugely popular concepts in gaming in to one package that's amusing, addictive and surprisingly cute in its execution. Most of your farming duties can be performed through a menu driven system, however a handy "smart" pointer takes most of the need to directly navigate them. Tapping on fresh turf or recently harvested soil will automatically plow the land, while tapping on plowed land brings up the market…

MIKADO DEFENDERS Review

Review TAITO Corporation By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 1 month ago
MIKADO DEFENDERS Review

With so many different tower-defense games to choose from on the iPhone, it's hard to believe that a company like TAITO would take the risk of competing with such a large crowd. Thankfully their new title Mikado Defenders is a stand-out from the crowd, with its sumi-e inspired artwork and unique spin on the tower-defense gameplay. Each map in the campaign provides a series of paths for enemies to traverse on their way to your castle, with limited spots available for placement of your…

Monster Crush - Demolition Review

Review Johan Gerhard Ottens By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 1 month ago
Monster Crush - Demolition Review

We've all seen physics simulators used in a slew of games, but few have gone quite so far as Monster Crush by 628 Games. Demolishing buildings and crushing enemies might make this sound like another game like Angry Birds, but for the first time buildings and material are given an almost complete set of destructible properties that you'll need to take full advantage of. As the title suggests the main aim of the game is to crush the bad guys, in this case a race of aliens. To pull this…

Paper Bridge Review

Review Clever Hamster Games By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 1 month ago
Paper Bridge Review

Paper Bridge by Clever Hamster Games brings bridge building games back to its roots, using simple physics and simple mechanics to give gamers a chance to relax their lateral thinking brain and give some air to their literal thinking brain. I'm fairly sure I just made those last two things up, but where games like Tiki Towers may require you to think outside the box, Paper Bridge lets you stick to basic engineering principles to get the job done. Only three tools are given to draw your…

Pirates Plunder Slots Review

Review 616 Digital LLC By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 2 months ago
Pirates Plunder Slots Review

Pirates Plunder by Pokie Magic is a vibrant new nautical themed slot machine for the App Store and as always it's another faithful adaption of a casino quality game. If you've never played a Pokie Magic slot machine game before there's not much to learn. It's a pick up and play game, which is obviously a good thing for a game designed for use in a casino.

Alpine Crawler World Review

Review Dimension Technics By Dave Flodine, 14 years, 2 months ago
Alpine Crawler World Review

It's hard to put Alpine Crawler World (ACW) into a genre. It's part racer, and part physics sim. Like its predecessor, and Moto X Mayhem, you have to finish the race in as short a time as possible, but the terrain, and the bounciness of your vehicle make that a lot harder than it sounds. Control is quite clever. On the left and right of the screen, there are accelerator and brake pedals. You tap them and then drag down to put your foot on them to drive or stop. Any slams to your car w…

Astro Ranch Review

Space farming! Oh no, we're not talking about mining asteroids, or growing some kind of moon cheese, but a farming simulator... in space! Astro Ranch has your farmer crashlanding on an alien planet, who then has to harvest crops and lifestock to earn enough money to repair their shuttle and send them home. Everything is done by the touch of a finger. Walking, selecting farming implements, buying new seeds, and equipment, and even talking to the locals. When you start off, you don't ha…
