Ms. Splosion Man Review
More and more these days we're seeing console and PC titles making their way to the App Store. However the most successful of these shape their title to fit the mold of the iOS platform, be it through unique controls to suit the touch-screen or a complete rework of its gameplay. Ms. Splosion Man takes the easier route of keeping things mostly unchanged, and while it does hurt the game in some ways, the manic platformer from Twisted Pixel Games remains a treat to play. If you took a bu…

Battle Dungeon returns as Battle Dungeon: Risen
If you've any interest in the fantasy role playing genre you might remember a game by the name of Battle Dungeon that released at the end of last year. It was a turn based adventure that let you test your strategy and cunning against AI foes or online friends. Unfortunately so many people pirated the game that the developer, Hunted Cow Studios, couldn't keep up the servers for people who'd legitimately bought the game and it had to be pulled from the App Store. Well, now it's back with a new name, Battle Dungeon: Risen, and a focus on single player gaming rather than the asynchronous online battling that the original game offered. So you're still getting a turn-based, strategy RPG, you jus…
Runaway: A Twist of Fate - Part 1 Review
Despite the Adventure genre going through a hay-day of sorts, there were many problems with the basic gameplay - notably, it was almost assumed that players understood the genre's many tropes. Supposedly, after what was called the 'Grandma Test', Telltale games revised how they approached teaching the player how to play their games and this has flowed through to each of their titles since then. Runaway: A Twist of Fate is the third in a series from Pendulo Studios, and unfortunately it…

First look at Moebius
Moebius is the latest game by adventure game luminary Jane Jensen. For those of you unfamiliar with her work, she is most famous for the Gabriel Knight series. Last year her kickstarter campaign for a new game was funded, and this trailer based on an alpha build of the game was released to her kickstarter backers, who will be providing feedback. Already it looks quite intriguing as a story, if not a little flat and sparse in the animation department. The backgrounds are very eye catching however. Plans are to show the game off at this year's E3. No word on when they're looking to release but I would imagine sometime this year, perhaps in quarter four. As this is being released on iPad alo…
Have a Blast... with Dragons!
Coming out this Thursday in the App Store in Dragon Blast. A pretty simple physics puzzler in the vein of games like Angry Birds. While it does look rather derivitive, the longer I watched the trailer, the more I found a certain charm in the level design that I think could be enjoyable. Have a look at the trailer for yourselves and see what I mean.…

Code GiveawaySponsored Feature: Jed Games on JED-GO Untouchable for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone
Zombies. They’re (still) everywhere. These days, though, they’re about as frightening as a bad cold going around the office. We’ve been talking with Jed Games about their new app JED-GO Untouchable, and they are the first to admit zombies may have lost a little bit of their impact of late. (Well, maybe the second.) “Zombies are so popular now, no one’s surprised when you see their semi-decayed faces on-screen any more,” Jed Games say. Oh... and did we mention JED-GO Untouchable is a game about shooting zombies? But Jed Games are confident that their app does enough to blast through the global zombie fatigue and emerge on the 'other side' as a fresh an…
EAster Sales and More Great Deals!
Holidays often means sales, and Easter is no exception as Electronic Arts has gone completely bonkers and dropped the price on almost everything in their range - most to as little as $0.99 a pop.

Gameloft's Iron Man 3 - Releasing April 25th
It's easy to say we're liking the look of Gameloft's current titles. Old habits may die hard for a company like this, but we're willing to give praise where due - most recently with their release of Order & Chaos: Duels. Now we find ourselves in a similar situation with their upcoming movie tie-in for Iron Man 3; it's looking gorgeous and could potentially be very addictive if the combat is anything to go by. Instead of a rough-shod 3D brawler, players take the role of Tony Stark as he speeds along, shooting down enemies in his path in an After Burner-like target and fire system. Obviously we won't know more until closer to the release date of April 25th, but for now you can check out…
App Wrap Up (Week ending 29th March, 2013)
Hey Hey Appspy readers, and welcome to another installment of the App Wrap Up, your favourite regular feature on our site! Last week's picking were sparse indeed but don't fret, this week I have a bunch of trailers to more than make up for it! As always, these games are based solely on their trailers, and if you like what you see, well that's why we add the link to the App Store. Let's get started! AHOGE CHANBARA (MMXIII M2 Co., Ltd.) This is one of the more interesting takes on an Infinity Blade-esque dodge and attack game i've seen. The anime characters attacking with their hair have a certain charm to them that lends some possible enjoyment to this title.[App Store Link]…

It's Easter!.. As If You've Forgotten
Apologies if things are a bit slow over the next few days - we're more than likely in a giant chocolate coma... a big, delicious, chocolate-y deep sleep. Anyway, that's our excuse for now and we'll have plenty (and I do mean that) to cover once we're back from our holiday. Enjoy the weekend!…
Magicka iPad Review
If you haven't had a chance to play one of the incredible Magicka titles from Paradox Interactive, this is a special kind of treat. It would have been too much to expect the game to have been brought over without any changes - it was a game very much reliant on its keyboard and mouse control setup - and so with the help of Ludosity, Magicka has been reborn as a 2D side-scrolling brawler. "SACRILIGE!" I hear you cry out, but your cries are in vain - the game you know has been kept in t…

Dungeon Hearts iPad Review
For a long while the three-match arcade puzzle mechanic concept slept in the back of the gaming consciousness, occasionally finding a sort of yawning, eye-squinting revival by being jammed in as an alternative to button mashing. Dungeon Hearts by Cube Roots and Devolver Digital could have easily slipped in to the same, rote (and boring) routine as those that have come before, but instead they offer an immediate and highly challenging experience. In a way you can think of Dungeon Heart…

First trailer for Broken Age
Earlier in the week we showed you the new name for the game formerly known as Double Fine Adventure. Now we can show you the first footage from the Broken Age in this trailer released at last night's IGF awards. It shows off the two parts of the game – one revolving around a young girl offered up as a sacrifice to a monster, the other a young boy living a lonely and isolated life on board some sort of spaceship. Everything looks gorgeous and quirky, and the soundtrack adds a darker note to proceedings. You can colour us even more excited about the game than we were before. There's still no release date, but as ever, we'll keep you updated as soon as we know more. You can check out t…
