Hi-dee Ho Appspy readers! It's Monday and we've got another edition of the App Wrap Up ready for you! Yes we got some interesting submissions over the weekend, and combined with those that came in last week have some neat looking games to showcase. Remember though, these are just trailers, and our impressions (as well as yours) are only based on said trailers. If you have played any of these titles or decide to do so, please let us know what you think in the comments. Well i've just had my second coffee for the day, so let's get to it! Project: Mayhem (OneSmartBunny, LLC) Another tough as nails platformer, this one with very simple visuals. The level design looks great, but as with…

Friday News Wrap-Up 7 September 2012

I can’t believe we’re already this deep into September already - I guess that means I’ll need to work up a Top 3 list (hint, it may be out on Tuesday), but in the meantime I have reviews and news to dispense, so lets hit up the Friday News Wrap-Up for the 7th of September, 2012. Assassin's Creed Utopia - Sim City with stabbingDespite the vague 'Winter' release date, the Assassin's Creed spin off title for iOS, dubbed 'Utopia', is looking mighty fine. I'm also happy to report that in a continued effort by Ubisoft to 'disconnect' from always-on Internet designed games, the only link between this title and Assassin's Creed 3 is that it will effectively lead up to th…

Night Flight Review

Review Cezary Rajkowski By Dave Flodine, 11 years, 6 months ago
Night Flight Review

A lone teddy bear wakes up in the dark recesses of a toy factory, greeted by the haunting vision of strung up stuffed animals around him. Finding a toy bi-plane, he chooses to fly his way to freedom. Though the game is called Night Flight, we didn't expect it to be so dark. Flying around the factory is simple in theory, but execution is a tad different. Touching the left side of the screen will turn your aircraft to the left and up, and touching the right side of the screen will turn…

Rayman on iPhone

Rayman on iPhone

Funnily enough i'm heading over to a friend's place this evening to play some Rayman Origins so how fortuitous that we recieve the news that a title in the same fantastic art style is coming to iOS. While the title is probably to cash in on the Temple Run craze, i wonder if this is an endless runner, or a level by level platformer. Either way, this looks like it'll be a lot of fun (even if they don't know how to spell 'september'.…

App Wrap Up (Thursday Edition, 6th September 2012)

It's that time again, time for your favourite column (don't deny it), the app wrap up! As always i have some titles to show you that look interesting and could be fun to play based on their trailers. If you try any of them, please let us know what you think in the comments. Without further ado, let's start this! Roll the Ball 3D (Prince Kumar) This reminds me a lot of Boost 3D, only here you have a large life bar, and are controlling a sphere. Over time you speed up, and it looks like the controls are pretty tight. Could be a fun endless roller.[App Store Link] Nuclien (Springloaded) Aside from having a highly amusing trailer, Nuclien looks to combine reaction based gaming…

Avengers Initiative Review

Review Marvel Entertainment By Andrew Nesvadba, 11 years, 6 months ago
Avengers Initiative Review

With all the recent buzz of Unreal powered titles, you’d be forgiven for thinking Avengers Initiative is packing this powerful engine beneath its gorgeous exterior. You’d be wrong, though it’s one of the few things the title hasn’t borrowed from the inspirational Infinity Blade. From the swipe-based combat to the level-grinding repetition, it’s Chair Entertainment’s classic in a nutshell, but it’s the small details that help it to stand on its…

Wild Blood Review

Review Gameloft By Andrew Nesvadba, 11 years, 6 months ago
Wild Blood Review

It may have taken some time for it to finally happen, but Gameloft have finally busted out their first Unreal Engine powered title for the App Store. For many people, such a thing is a minor concern, because - and let’s be honest - Gameloft titles have been far from ugly thus far. Wild Blood rides in on the heels of previous releases like Hero of Sparta, however instead of beating up Gods you’ll crack the skulls of various demons in this Arthurian-legend based beat’em…

Splice : Tree of Life iPad Review

Review Cipher Prime Studios By Andrew Nesvadba, 11 years, 6 months ago
Splice : Tree of Life iPad Review

Much like Mother Nature, Splice : Tree of Life is unforgiving in its relentless brutality. You’re popped in to a universe almost without any concept of what you’re meant to do and while you can find some help, it won’t do you any good until you can understand it. Cipher Prime Studios capture this vicious elegance in their cell-splicing puzzler and you’ll need to ponder and experiment to make any headway. First and foremost, Splice is a beautifully presented gam…

Double Fine Breaks Out The 'Middle Manager of Justice'

Double Fine Breaks Out The 'Middle Manager of Justice'

Double Fine Productions, along with the help of Dracogen, are spreading their wings taking flight in to the iOS arena, kicking things off with something familiar, but with a predictably quirky twist. Middle Manager of Justice tasks players with the uneviable role of managing a group of superheroes, taking care of all of the mundane tasks you usually never hear about in comic books. From maintaining the health and performance of individual heroes, to ensuring the cash-flow and facilities are sufficient enough to take on large tasks, you're the fine-line between the black and the red on the ledger. By all accounts it looks like we're in for a freemium title, but if the concept is u…

Luke The Liftboy Review

UPDATE: My apologies for the editing-gremlin in this video - hopefully the issue is resolved. Thanks to those who pointed it out ;) Being a lift boy must be a tedious enough job. Having to stand on your feet all day pressing buttons, and dealing with ear-worm inducing music, and the entire gamut of human shapes and sizes. Add to that a hotel that's busy during the football season, and the stress must just pile up exponentially. Well Exozet Games has taken this concept and made an arca…

The Golden Years: Way Out West Review

Review Alawar Entertainment, Inc By Dave Flodine, 11 years, 6 months ago
The Golden Years: Way Out West Review

Looking at the image of the Clint Eastwood-esque character with his bandanna, poncho, and cowboy hat on the app store, and seeing the game titled Way Out West, the last thing we were expecting was a resource management city building simulator. Told in flashback, this game is about building a town in the new frontier to harvest enough gold to pay off your husband's prison debt, with each level adding new elements to the gameplay, and having missions and time quotas to fill as well. It's…
