Review by Nigel Wood
Around half of the games on the AppStore right now are puzzle games. It’s an over crowded genre, but at the same time a testament to how well suited the iPhone is to gaming. After all, with puzzles doing so well on pda’s and now the DS, with its touch screen the [...]

Ahhhh ‘Top Gun’, those were the days. It all looks a bit homo-erotic now, but back then it was awesome. And I challenge any hot blooded male to say that, back in ‘86, they didn’t want to be up there amongst the clouds, a firm joystick between your legs and Mach 2 up your butt. [...]


Vegas Pool Sharks Review

Review by Matt Dunn
I have played quite a few pool games for the PC, Xbox, and other consoles. If there’s one thing that plagues most of these games, it’s finding a way to easily control a pool cue with a controller/mouse and keyboard. It’s not an easy task. How does Vegas Pool Sharks do considering [...]


Firewall Review

Review by Matt Dunn
Firewall, developed by Solus Games (Funky Punch), is one of the first tower defense games to be released for the iPhone. Using some great retro-styled graphics, it pits you as a firewall who’s purpose is to destroy oncoming viruses. Is this Firewall strong enough to block a low score?

Review by Matt Dunn
Get your casual-physics-based-Jengaesque gaming on with this fun game from ngmoco, Inc. That’s right, “Jengaesque” is now a word, because I said so. Topple adds to quite a large range of quality “pickup-and-play” games that are rapidly becoming available on the App store. Read for the full review.

Soon it will be that time again, the time to batten down the hatches, turn off the lights… or anything to show that you are not at home, so you can avoid those damn ‘trick or treaters’! Well maybe in the US it’s all sweetness and laughs. But over here in sunny [...]

Review by Matt Dunn
I am a fan of Texas Hold’em. I am not, however, a fan of the fact that there are probably twenty-something different versions of TH applications out there in iTunes. I bought Apple’s “HoldEm” when it first came out, and honestly was mildly impressed, despite the rave reviews. It’s probably the least [...]
