HellJump 2: New Adventures Review
HellJump 2: New Adventures by SoftGames baffles me a little bit. While it's easy enough to merely say it's just another vertical jumping title, it wouldn't be taking in to account the rather beautiful visuals that have gone in to the game. But regardless of this, HellJump 2 shows no meaningful gameplay improvements over the original and that is what confuses me. For those not yet familiar with vertical jumping titles, all you need to do is keep bouncing your character as high as possi…

Burger Queen Review
I'm sure there's no way that 'Burger Queen' is trying to reference anything other than the fact that the daughter of a man who owns a large fast-food chain is now taking control of the company, a 'queen of the burgers' if you will. Yeah, I'm sure that's what Crecat Soft meant. If the App Store icon didn't give it away, this is a management style game of the fast-food variety and you'll need to ensure that all of your customers are served in a timely manner to make ridiculous amounts o…

Ravaged by War Review
I'm partial to the odd tower defense (TD) title now and then and even though I've been playing them since I discovered them in Warcraft 3 it's a genre I can safely return to as it's a fairly safe bet as games go. Ravaged By War has thrown its lot in with the big boys on the App Store and despite its interesting theme the game does little to add to this already flooded genre. But this isn't usually a bad thing, because if other TD fans are like me they'll dip their toes in now and then…

Ace Chopper Rescue Review
If you're going to make a Choplifter-style game it's going to take more than a decent artistic direction and sadly Ace Chopper Rescue by MystoneGame didn't get much further than that. In order to go about your business of rescuing people from a ravaged war zone you'll need to get used to the game's one and only control scheme, tilting to maneuver your helicopter up, down and around the level, while buttons provide you with a retractable ladder and a gun. The ladder is used to pick up…
Milk My Unicorn Review
Today we're keeping things short and sweet here at AppSpy and what a better game for keeping things on the move than Milk My Unicorn by Splashworks. When you get right down to it, Milk My Unicorn is just another 'Simon Says' title and players are given the opportunity to demonstrate their recall skills by pulling the teats of various animals (fictitious or otherwise) while doing so. Once you've conquered a specific animal you'll unlock a 'free play' mode to milk them at your own leisu…
War of the Gods Review
War of the Titans by EASY is a turn-based strategy that tries to play with the formula, removing a lot of control from the player in order to streamline the experience and while this is commendable, the result is something that feels too loose to really call 'strategic'. There are only two controllable mechanics in the game itself, with players being able to move their units forward and should they have enough cash, hiring enemies to bulk up their forces. The ability to 'buy' enemies…
Free Zombie Hero - Kill Angry War Ninja Review
Swedish developers Fabrication Games had a burning question that they had to answer for themselves, 'What do you get if you make a game using all of the App Store's most searched for phrases?'. The answer came in the release of 'Free Zombie Hero - Kill Angry War Ninja' and to be fair, if that doesn't score some interest right off the bat, then I'd be surprised. In Zombie Hero you have to avenge the deaths (or is that re-deaths?) of your zombie family at the hands of a horde of ninjas…

Pigeon Squadron Review
In Pigeon Squadron by I-play you're the newest recruit in a ragtag bunch of pigeons who have made it their mission to fight back against the humans who have made their lives a living hell in the cities. There are currently 45 missions in three cities to complete and in every one your goal is a relatively simple one - drop a deuce on just about everything that moves. The controls are certainly simple enough to get used to as well, with tilting to turn your pigeon around and a but…

NCIS: The Game from the TV Show Review
I probably haven't laughed this hard at a game in a while and worst of all I really shouldn't be, this is NCIS: The Game from the TV Show by GameHouse after all. Good gravy even the title is bursting with comedic value. In this adventure title you'll take part in five different 'mysteries', although in typical TV show style one of the adventures is a two-parter so it's really only four missions overall. The game itself follows the show's format quite well, introducing the basic myster…

Ponk Review
Ponk by Itchy Mitshi (honestly, did you pick that name just to make video reviews harder?) is another 3-match title for the App Store, but with a heck of a change from the usual lineup - you get to choose when and where your blocks drop. This may not sound like much, but when you successfully juggle several droplets at the same time to get that perfect combo it's a heck of a good feeling. There are three basic modes to choose from in Ponk, each changing up the gameplay slightly. In 'K…

Virtual City (Full) Review
I think I needed to play a game like Virtual City by G5 Entertainment to help me stop judging games by their cover. Sure the game looks like Sim City from a distance, but in reality it's just so much more and Virtual City picks up where farm-management style game left off. Each level of Virtual City provides a series of challenges to overcome in the prefabricated town you're given to manage. Your company must develop the city by adding transport, rubbish and bus routes to keep the cit…

Real Golf 2011 Review
After the recent release of Let's Golf 2 from Gameloft I'd have thought there would be a bit more of a cool-off between golfing titles, however here I am with Real Golf 2011 in my hands and I must say I'm not complaining one bit; it's a real killer title. Real Golf 2011 is, for lack of a better word for it, the 'adult' equivalent of the Let's Golf franchise. Gone are the whacky environments and cartoonish characters; in go the beautiful country club vistas and real life golfers. You'l…
