Bonecruncher Soccer Review
Comparing Bonecruncher Soccer by Distinctive Developments to its inspiration Backbreaker Football is not unlike that of comparing Veggie Samurai to Fruit Ninja. When playing Bonecruncher you can't help but feel that you've been here before and while there are some changes it all feels skin-deep. However, you can't hold a good idea down and comparisons aside Bonecruncher is a challenging game to master and unlike American football where brutal tackles are a norm, having your legs swept…

challengeHungry Helga Coming Soon
Over the past few months a small team of indie developers have been creating a cool little game called Hungry Helga for the iPhone. Like many indie devs, the guys have kept a blog documenting the creative process of making an App, great to checkout if you're interested in App development. These guys have taken care of everything from programming to marketing. The game has been submitted to the iTunes Store and is awaiting approval. You can check out their blog here! Checkout the YouTube Trailer: App Info: Captain Kjirk has a big mouth to feed. Help him keep Helga happy and keep her from destroying their ship by feeding her fish. Lots and lots of fish. And watch out for sharks a…
Cartoon Wars 2: Heroes Review
When you look back at BLUE GNC's previous Cartoon Wars and Cartoon Wars-Gunner titles, 'Cartoon Wars 2: Heroes' seems like the obvious next step. While the combination of beat'em-up and castle defense gameplay elements don't mesh terribly well, it's an interesting way to try and break up the monotony inherent in these sorts of games. Both the defense and beat'em-up sections will take some time to get used to and you'll need to prepare yourself for some fairly humiliating losses in ord…

HM tank Review
The premise of HeavyMetalTankBattles by CLOUDWALKER is a simple one: You must defend your base from enemy tanks before running out of tanks to defend with. However despite the simple idea and the fun retro pixel-art and sprite style visuals, the controls and AI leave more than a lot to be desired. In particular players are only given one control system and I was at a loss as to how to hold my iDevice. To move your tank you need to tap the sides of the screen corresponding to the direc…
Chillingo Announces New Fall Titles
The guys at Chillingo have announced six new titles coming soon to the AppStore as apart of their lineup of titles to be released this fall. The titles range from puzzlers to shooters to fast paced arcade style racing games. The Following Titles Will be Available Soon: - Sheeple Chase (Green Ant Games) - Prepare for a turbo-charged romp through an English farmyard where Sheep race against Pigs to reach the finish line. Burst through hedges, dodge past cows and leap across rivers at fiery speeds to defeat the competition. For added fun, players can also opt to build their own tracks and share them with friends. Teaser: - Folded Flight (GD8) - Paper planes have nev…
Robin Hood - Archer of the Woods Review
Clickgamer's latest bite-sized title places you in the role of 'Robin Hood - Archer of the Woods' as he attempts to defend a poor village from an army set on destroying it. Bow-defense titles are a hit or miss genre (what's with my puns this week?) and this is partly due to the rather loose control scheme they tend to share. In Robin Hood all you need to do is tap and slide your finger back to aim and set the power of your shot and while this isn't specifically new, I do like th…

ARDefender Review
Alternate Reality (AR) titles usually aren't easy for us to review thanks to our video setup, but an exception had to be made for ARDefender by int13 as it just looked too good to be true. While some expectations weren't met, the first time I loaded up the game and witnessed the AR features my jaw simply dropped. However a little setup is required first and you'll need to print out or otherwise use a display showing a distinct pattern that the game can recognize. Once the game recogni…

The Secret of Grisly Manor Review
The Secret of Grisly Manor by Fire Maple Games is a puzzle adventure title of the style most people will easily compare to games like Myst. While the 'pure' Adventure genre saw a sharp decline some years ago, a recent revival in the form of bite-sized episodic challenges has helped to bring this classic genre to the foreground again. We're not talking about hidden-object style games here either; no, this is all about taking abstract situations and puzzles and attempting to make the pi…

Blind World Review
In the interest of full disclosure I will point out that Blind World by Dmitriy Kuzmenko was not reviewed on release as its crashing issues made it an impossible game to fairly review. However after a recent patch the game was finally made playable and this beautifully designed puzzler has been given a chance to shine. In each level of Blind World your objective is to carefully and with purposefully explore the world around you in order to reach a preset 'point' value for your actions…

Game Dev Story Review
Perhaps it's something about working as a reviewer or perhaps it's just being a huge fan of gaming in general, but Game Dev Story by Kairosoft has me hook, line and sinker. That's right, my name is Andrew and I'm addicted to Game Dev Story. The first thing to point out about GDS is that it clearly seems to have been developed for mobile phones in general and not iDevices specifically. The game is for the most part driven by menus and selectable options, though this is streamlined a li…

Last Minute Hero Review
I really want to like Last Minute Hero by Squax, so instead of a harsh verbal reprisal lets consider this a sort of love letter to a game that attempts to do something exciting and interesting, but ends up breaking my heart by never managing to finish what it started. You play as a girl, perhaps a cosplayer of some sort, stuck in a cordoned off area of the Shibuya Crossing that is being invaded by giant mutated spiders. So naturally you whip out your weapons of destruction and go to t…
Super Turbo Action Pig Review
We're hitting up the archives today on request to review Super Turbo Action Pig (STAP) by Joystick Generals and while many of you may have already encountered this interesting side-scrolling arcade title, others may take pleasure in discovering something fun they may have missed. And STAP isn't lacking for fun at all, pitting your rocket-strapped pig against the evil Butcher Bill as he attempts to shred you apart with his collection of utensils. Tapping the giant button in the corner…

Urban Ninja Review
If anything, Donut Games should be applauded for the consistency of its titles, if not for their execution. It's hard to say that Urban Ninja is anything but a unique and interesting concept, but fundamental problems with the controls and gameplay elements seem set to ruin what would have otherwise been a fun game. You're placed in control of a chubby French ninja ('Why chubby?' and 'Why French?' seems to fall under the response of 'Because.') and you need to escape the city after hav…
