Hexius Review
Hexius by Phasic Labs is an interesting beast to approach and could easily be mistaken for a 3-match game, but instead of swapping and matching gems you'll need to drag up your 'Where's Wally' skills to quickly and efficiently find all the matching tiles spread around the field. Once your first tile is selected you'll have to find and select all the matching tiles to continue, however selecting an incorrect tile will allow you to restart your sequence. Depending on the path created by…

Pix'n Love Rush Review
Retro-appeal has continued to remain in vogue for some time now and Pix'n Love Rush by Bulkypix hopes to cash in on your collection of platforming tropes while exploring some of gaming's more 'unique' visual styles from the last three decades. Players are thrown in to a world with very simple rules, with bonuses slowly adding to your combo meter, while any mistake made will slash you down a combo level. This sounds like a harsh deal, however even moderately skilled gamers who have pla…

Super QuickHook Review
Fans of Rocketcat Games will hardly need an introduction to 'Super QuickHook', the true sequel to their immensely popular dungeon-swinging platform title 'Hook Champ', however many small gameplay changes have resulted in this new title feeling more streamlined and remains as utterly addictive as the first title. The basic controls have been left relatively untouched, with players using taps to aim and fire whip-like hooks to speedily swing through the various environments. Rocket Boot…

Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter Pro Review
The scope and size of 'Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunter' is almost difficult to truly take in on your first attempt to play this sci-fi hunting simulator by Tatem Games. This isn't an action-filled FPS and you'll need patience, skill and the steel will of a hunter to truly appreciate this mammoth title. The game's basic controls are relatively standard for an FPS, however instead of the usual health-gauge, ammo indicator or rack of guns the interface is streamlined to provide you with all…

Rocket Racing League Review
Think of Rocket Racing League for the iPhone as a test-bed that aims to show just what the near future could hold as sci-fi is made real thanks to Rocket Racing. Despite hiccups in getting the real Rocket Racing League off the ground, you'll have the opportunity to fly a modern Mark-III and futuristic Mark-V X-Racer as you participate in this virtual competition. You'll have the option of choosing between tilt or analogue controls for maneuvering your X-Racer, but both will take consi…

ZombieKiller Ultimate Review
In ZombieKiller Ultimate you've been pitted against wave after endless wave of zombies as the world's chosen premier zombie killer and if you can rack up enough kills you'll have the chance to improve your skills and become the ultimate zombie killer. As the first release for TeamBlackCat on the App Store, this title is certainly not for younger audiences and despite the indicated rating you'll have to judge for yourself as to whether it's appropriate for your tastes. With that said,…

Pro Zombie Soccer Review
The development and release of Pro Zombie Soccer is almost a perfect storm of ideas, combining the still (amazingly) strong zombie market with the increasingly prominent football (soccer) crowd. It sounds like a marketing wet-dream, but it's hard to fault Chillingo's latest release as it begs you to sit down and finish this immensely fun and amusing title without a single break. You'll need to get your reflexes and rebound skills tuned up in order to crush the almost unstoppable wave…

Zombie Wonderland Review
You may be starting to tire of zombie-based titles, but think about the poor game-land inhabitants that have to deal with them every day. In Zombie Wonderland by Chillingo you'll have to fend off the shuffling plague as you lend your help to your friends and family to keep their buildings perfectly clean from the putrid green goo they leave in their wake. Despite what looks like a fairly typical defense-slash-action title, Zombie Wonderland plays more like a management game 'with zomb…

THE A-TEAM Review
There are certain expectations you can leave behind when tackling a product that comes out of the A-Team franchise, generally a strong storyline or realistic action are amongst these. So with that said, The A-Team by GameHouse has reduced its action title to the basics, with explosions, guns and so many bad-guys (tm) to kill that you'll wonder why they haven't been branded as war criminals... oh wait. To keep the game fast paced, a lot of the action is pulled out of your hands, giving…

Shadow Candy: SUGAR RUSH! Review
**UPDATE** The new 'Skilled' mode definitely adds a much needed sense of challenge; while the improvements in jumping and movement may only be tiny, however the game is feels easier to control. These changes have definitely brought this game back in line and even thought it's still a generic platformer, it's a change for the better and a huge boon to fans of Shadow Candy. Based on the ongoing comic series 'Shadow Candy' available in the App Store, 'SUGAR RUSH!' is a generic platfor…

Puppet War:FPS Review
Allow me a moment to be a bit geeky - yes, even geekier than talking about video games on the Internet. Episode 14 of season 5 for the TV show 'Angel', otherwise known as 'Smile Time' is perhaps one of my favorite episodes of all time and deals with evil puppets and their dastardly plans. So when Puppet War:FPS by Twindigo was released, I was locked and loaded for some fluffy revenge. The controls are fairly standard for a first-person shooter, with an analogue stick for movement and…

2XL TROPHYLITE Rally Review
2XL Games are no stranger to the odd sports racing title on the App Store and are well known for their visual quality and smooth controls. So it almost goes without saying that if you're a fan of their previous titles, 2XL TROPHYLITE Rally might already tickle your fancy. There are three major control schemes to choose from, with left and right variants for two of these and coupled with 2XL's steering assist you'll be clocking times like a professional in no time. The tilt-based optio…

PrincessFury Review
You're a tiny, angry, purple-haired princess and you have a big sword. A VERY big sword. An evil overlord has invaded your land and that doesn't sit well with you. In Princess Fury by MoStar you'll get to blitz your way through hundreds of enemies with powerful magical attacks and your trusty army of knights by your side. Getting started couldn't be easier as the game's earlier tutorial levels ease you in to the mechanics of Princess Fury. A virtual stick allows you to move your Princ…

Banzai Rabbit Review
Revolutionary Concepts are on a roll and after their release of Karate Champ for the App Store they've struck while the iron is hot and have dropped their latest original title 'Banzai Rabbit'. Those following the development of this game may remember it as Frogman, but either way we've got a hopping super-hero helping citizens from being mutated by your nemesis. When it comes right down to it, Banzai Rabbit is a modern adaption of Frogger, with several control schemes and variations…
