Friday News Wrap-Up 18 May 2012
After too much faffing about due to sickness I'm rearing and ready to go so lets skip the nonsense and dive right in to the Friday News Wrap-Up for the 18th of May, 2012.
Republique - Reaches Kickstarter Goal!
With the last few months being an absolute minefield of developers trying to self-fund projects, it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. In the least there's no harm in putting money down on something you think you'll enjoy and Republique is just such a project. Despite the limited demonstration of what's on offer in the game's unique adventure-esque title, it's clear this isn't your ordinary throw-away Arcade title and definitely something the iOS platfor...

LostWinds2: Winter of the ... Review
When last we met Toku and the wind-spirit Enril, the evil spirit Balasar was defeated and all was well in Mistralis. It was a short, but intriguing journey filled with exploration and a handful of puzzles, and now with more evil threatening the lands, it's up to Toku and Enril to once again save the world. Ultimately LostWinds felt all too short, almost a teaser of what is possible when platforming meets gesture controls. The sequel takes things even further, implementing fixes from t...
FastBall 3 Review
[This title was the featured Mini-Review for the Friday News Wrap-Up for the 11th of May, 2012] The Impossible Game is responsible for opening gamers eyes to the beauty and simplicity of jumping in platformers. Endless runners do much the same, but they can't be as unfair in their design. FastBall by Klik! Games sticks with small levels packed with jumping challenges that eventually require insane feats of precise timing to complete. Unfortunately the third in the series has dropped t...
Friday News Wrap-Up 11 May 2012
It's great to be back in the saddle, even if I haven't fully recovered. Thankfully not too much was missed over the last couple weeks. Despite the lack of news amends must be made and there's a bit more meat to the review and picks of the week as a result.
So, lets not dilly-dally and jump straight in to the Friday News Wrap-Up for the 11th of May, 2012.
Ascension: Storm of Souls - Top Deck Builder Gets Better
It has been a while since AppSpy first had the chance to play Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer, but much like the board game it proved to be seriously addictive and a lot of fun. Since then an expansion has been added to the game, but more importan... Read More 
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...
Saving Private Sheep 2 Review
Wolves eat sheep. Everybody knows this, but did you know that a well placed porcupine will cause a wolf to cough that sheep right back up no worse for wear? A sheepish general observed by luck this phenomenon and now armed with this knowledge, a platoon of sheep soldiers, slingshots, and a load of porcupines dedicated to the cause, it's time to wage war on the wolves and rescue as many wooly brethren as possible. In the vein of Angry Birds and the countless other games in the physics ...
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 
Infinity Blade II Price Cut For Limited Time ...
Chair's swipe-to-slice blockbuster Infinity Blade II is currently available at the knockdown price of $4.99 (it usually retails for $6.99).
Building on the superb foundation laid by Infinity Blade, this sequel boasts an additional three combat styles, a massively expanded world, and a global network of slashers with whom you can team up to defeat titanic enemies.
And while Infinity Blade's innovative combat system remains intact in this sequel, it's been refined and tweaked to near perfection.
The character levelling and customisation has also been lovingly buffed to a high sheen, and now offers significantly more depth than its predecessor.
If you remain unconvinced by that feature list... Read More 
Top 3 iPhone Games for March 2012
I'm honestly a little surprised that I didn't receive more death-threats for not having a Top List up for March by now, but I can only assume people were satiated by the immense amounts of candy they're likely to have recently consumed. In any case, the delay was necessary to catch up to all the releases that came out at the month's end, so now we have a definitive list of titles to choose from. What's my personal pick of the month? You'll just have to wait and see...
This is AppSpy.com's Top 3 iPhone Games for March, 2012.
Swordigo (Touch Foo / Ville Mäkynen) $1.99 Univ.
Swordigo was a bit of a dark-horse, promising little more than a simple Action-RPG ... Read More 
Bug Princess 2 Review
There are shooters and then there are bullet-hell games. Yes, we've said it before, but CAVE's long-running obsession with placing players against impossible odds is well known to iOS gamers now, but even amongst fans there's a game that remains utterly daunting. Bug Princess 2, the 2006 Arcade sequel to the classic original, takes no prisoners thanks to its ridiculously scaling up modes of difficulty. By almost all other accounts, Bug Princess 2 is easy to pick up thanks to its famil...
Penny Arcade Adventures To Continue On iPhone...
Indie developers Zeboyd Games are hard at work on a new Penny Arcade game - the sequel to Hothead's 2008 title Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness Episode 2.
And Joystiq reports that it's coming to the iPhone - a first for the series.
Based on the popular Penny Arcade gaming webcomic, Penny Arcade's On The Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness 3 (or PA3, for short) follows the adventures of Gabe and Tycho in a steampunk world full of sinister mystery and Lovecraftian monsters.
And mimes.
Best known for their irreverent RPG Cthulhu Saves the World, Zeboyd Games sound like the perfect studio to take on development duties, then.
Set for release sometime in 2012, PA3... Read More 
Hunters 2 Review
Rodeo Games first impressed us here at AppSpy when they released their clean and simple strategic turn-based shooter 'Hunters: Episode One' last year. Its weakness, though, was a lack of depth, choosing instead to generate near-infinite amounts of content to make up for this. Their newly released sequel has gone a step further, opting to provide players with more opportunities to customize their gun-toting crew and more importantly, packaging in a storyline to keep you motivated. It's...
Angry Birds Space Review
If any game on the App Store deserves a true sequel, it's Angry Birds. Rovio Mobile's classic hit still shapes the way in which developers approach making games for iOS device owners and while some of that success is owed to marketing, it's hard to argue against the game's approachable and addictive design. Now, after many half-steps, Angry Birds Space is the first title in the series to move the game forward, giving fans of the series something they can truly sink their teeth in to. ...
Flight Control Rocket Is Out Now On iPhone
Flight Control Rocket, the sequel to Firemint's massively popular line-drawing game Flight Control, is available now on the App Store for 99c.
Like its predecessor, Flight Control Rocket has you using your digits to map out a flight path for each craft that arrives on-screen.
You have to, therefore, guide them safely to their landing zones without any collisions.
On this occasion, however, instead of steering planes and helicopters to safety, Flight Control Rocket has you piloting interstellar craft with a single-fingered swipe.
It's therefore 40 per cent cooler than the original game right off the bat.
Flight Control Rocket game delivers the same simple but addictive gameplay that made... Read More 
Friday News Wrap-Up 16 March 2012
After my marathon of playing the latest Chaos Rings game, I'm almost completely exhausted, but don't worry 'cause I still have you covered for this week's Wrap-Up. I don't want to ruin any surprises, but if you're waiting for the Game of the Week, I think you can hazard a guess right now and save some time!
For those sticking around, this is the Friday News Wrap-Up for the 16th of March, 2012.
