Review CDE Entertainment Ltd. By Harry Slater, 8 years, 9 months ago

Anomaly Defenders Review

Review EA Chillingo By James Gilmour, 9 years, 5 months ago

However, for Anomaly Defenders, the final entry in the series, the studio has reversed its own genre reversal, ending its tower offence saga with a normal tower defence game. Has the move unlocked a new dimension to the sci-fi combat favourite, or is Anomaly Defenders one reversal too many? Pocket Gamer's Harr…

Review Clickteam, LLC By James Gilmour, 9 years, 6 months ago
Five Nights at Freddy's Review

During the day, kids come to eat and be entertainent by the eatery's collection of animatronic animals, who laugh and dance and play with the squealing brats until closing time.

The Nightmare Cooperative Review

Review Blazing Griffin Ltd By James Gilmour, 9 years, 6 months ago
The Nightmare Cooperative Review

Roguelikes are everywhere at the moment. You can't fire up iTunes without clapping eyes on a Dungelot or a Wayward Souls peeping out of the milky whiteness. However, as Pocket Gamer's Craig Granell discovered, The Nightmare Cooperative shouldn't be dismissed as yet another tile-based puzzler. Yes, it's filled with randomised dungeons and chance encounters and lots and lots of death. But there's a clever team dynamic at play that elevates it beyond the average swipe-powered puzzle adv…

World of Tanks Blitz Review

Review WARGAMING Group Limited By Alex Beech, 9 years, 8 months ago

At its most reductive, World of Tank Blitz is a modern interpretation of the Atari classic Combat.
