The Bluecoats - North vs S... Review
The original game this remake is based on, 'North & South' was based on the Belgian comic book 'Les Tuniques Bleues', which was a humorous take on the American Civil War. The Bluecoats – North vs South takes the “turn based strategy laden with mini-games” concept, updates the graphics and smooths over the whole experience. With a fresh coat of paint and some tinkering, how does this gaming classic hold up? Well the game starts at the options screen in which you c...
Sponsored Feature: Neuchatel On Blast Angle
Playing as a tank in a turn-based strategy title seems to go against what makes it such a fun vehicle to use in the first place - namely, unbridled destruction.
Blast Angle, the latest title from developers Neuchatel, looks to fly in the face of that received logic, though. With a Worms-style setup, a varied soundtrack (created by DJs from across Europe), and a unique art style, it definitely has a chance of making an impact.
Karan Khemani, CEO of Neuchatel, told us about Blast Angle's influences, its online element, and future plans for the game.
AppSpy: How have you made sure that Blast Angle stands out in the competitive marketplace that is the App Store?

N.O.V.A. 3 - Near Orbit Va... Review
N.O.V.A. 3 (NOVA3) is not above bombast and indeed it kicks things off in an explosive and gorgeous way. What follows is most certainly Gameloft's best entry in the science-fiction FPS series, but an unrelenting series of sequences that seem incomplete or untested drag the game back from the brink of excellence. The setting is a familiar one - Earth (or what remains of it) is under attack and you as the disgruntled, gravel-voiced hero are called back (despite saying you were done help...
THE KING OF FIGHTERS-i 201... Review
When The King of Fighters-i first found its way on to the App Store and managed to rival its the Street Fighter titles, it was all I could do to contain my joy. Once again, developers had managed to defy conventions and turn a game that requires insanely precise controls in to something not only playable, but also competitive. The King of Fighters-i 2012 keeps the ball rolling and in much the same way that Volt did for Street Fighter IV. More to the point, those expecting a change-up ...
Inotia 4 Review
As it is, and so shall it always be, given the fullness of time, yet another sequel to a somewhat popular KRPG series makes its way on to the App Store. Inotia 4: Assassin of Berkel by Com2us is the next on the chopping block, and it seemingly fails to learn from the past, instead seeking to exploit its free-to-play status. You are once again in the control of a teenager keen to prove himself (in this case as the 'virtuoso' of the Shadow Tribe) and you're thrown in to a 'whirlwind' st...
MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2 Review
CAPCOM generally doesn't skimp on the details when it comes to its fighting game releases on the App Store. It seems almost counter-intuitive to think a serious fighting game could be successful on a small touch-screen, but Street Fighter IV has shown that it's not only possible, but also a lot of fun. As such it's almost unfortunate for Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 to feel as rushed as it does, suffering from bloated controls on smaller iDevices and visuals that looked muddied thanks to poor ...
Friday News Wrap-Up 20 April 2012
Right now I'm existing in a state that's roughly equivalent to being a small child awaiting Christmas day - my weekend is all planned and I'm off to nerd it up and chat with personal heroes such Richard Horvitz and Will Wheaton. But before I head off we have the small matter of this week's Wrap-Up.
So lets get crackin' on the Friday News Wrap-Up for the 20th of April, 2012.
The Bluecoats - North & South - May 10th
Nostalgia can be almost criminal in its ability to gloss over the past and make you believe you loved something despite its flaws, but one thing is for sure, North & South was a game that got me hooked on strategy titles. Aside from the occa... Read More

Firemint's superb driving sim Real Racing 2 is available at less than half price today, reduced to $1.99 from its usual price of $4.99.

And, most importantly, its tilt and touch controls are precise and highly customisable - a real blessing when you head online to compete against 15 human opponents.
If our gushing tone hasn't tipped you off already, you'll be pleased to hear that Real Racing 2 scored a big ol' 5/5 in our AppSpy review.
What's more: it also earned itself a spot on our top 10 games of 2010 chart. Bravo.

Sponsored Feature: Neuchatel On Bankers vs. H...
Remember when it used to be cool to hate lawyers because they suckled at the teat of Satan every morning for breakfast before going to work on a kitten-drawn cart made entirely of baby skeletons?
Well, times have changed, and it's now the bankers who occupy that particular place in our 'hearts' and minds.
This has led to the, perhaps inevitable, iPhone game Bankers vs. Humans. In Neuchatel's delightfully tongue-in-cheek game, you play as either a banker or a human, who naturally have different views on the Occupy movement, and who find increasingly ridiculous reasons to jump out of aeroplanes and dodge various debris.
Karan Khemani, CEO of Neuchatel, told us more about the game's influenc... Read More 
Sky Gnomes Review
When one thinks of gnomes the mind often wanders to those creepy all-too-happy garden statues strewn across your neighbor's yard. Who would have thought that they were dare-devils? OK, in fantasy it's long been known that gnomes like to tinker and invent contraptions, but if we are to believe Sky Gnomes by Foursaken Media, their favorite form of entertainment is to build racing machines that allow them to plummet from the sky as fast as gnome-nly possible.Sky Gnomes is an entirely multiplayer...
Nightfall Review
As much as I profess a love for board games, I must admit my preoccupation with video games keeps me out of the loop (as it were) when it comes to upcoming or popular titles. Nightfall, an aggressive deck-building card game from Alderac Entertainment Group, has gathered a strong following since its release last year - so it's no surprise to see Playdek, the iOS developer who brought out releases for Food Fight and Ascension, pushing this title out the door as well. Those familiar with...
Find the Princess Review
Mazes are interesting. As a child, Dave couldn't get enough of mazes, plowing through books and books of more and more complex and intricate maze-y challenges. When videogames started taking his spare time however, the mazes presented did not illicit the same reaction of fun and wonder. Instead there was only tedium and frustration (the basement of 'The 7th Guest being one such annoying memory). Perhaps the difference between mazes on paper and mazes in videogames is one of perception. On pap...
The King of Fighters-i- Is Reduced To $2.99 F...
SNK Playmore's iPhone interpretation of their venerable The King of Fighters franchise is currently available at a discount price.
The King of Fighters-i- is now $2.99, down from its usual price of $6.99.
Offering four different single-player modes and local multiplayer options, The King of Fighters-i- is a comprehensive package, which boasts a deep fighting system and superbly animated brawlers.
We loved the game's touchscreen interface and beautifully rendered arcade action, awarding the title full marks in our AppSpy review last year.
What's more, the game's only got bigger and better since its release, for the original cast of 14 fighters has been expanded to an impressive 20. You're... Read More 
Lunar Racer Is Free To Download For A Limited...
Super Stickman Golf isn't the only game from Noodlecake Studios that's currently available for nowt on the App Store.
The firm's excellent 2D driving game Lunar Racer is currently available free of charge for a limited time.
Lunar Racer is - in the words of the developers - a mash-up of Tiny Wings and Mario Kart, which combines the hilly momentum-gathering of the former with the weapon-enhanced motoring of the latter.
Competing against AI drivers or local multiplayer rivals on the bumpy surface of a tiny moon, you'll have to contend with treacherous low-grav terrain and the constant threat of a guided missile homing in on your tailpipe.
We had oodles of fun playing Lunar Racer, and altho... Read More 
SpellTower Review
Your average word game never fails to impress on some level as word formation is such a simple yet addictive puzzle for our brains to solve. What sets some above others is not only the format of finding words, but the elegance of word creation itself, and this is where Spelltower by Zach Gage shines. Words are created by swiping through letters. Not just vertically and horizontally however, but diagonally as well. And it's not to say it's like a word find either. You can start your wo...
