Review by Nigel Wood
My little tank, published by Astraware is a classic top down shooter which shares similarities with the helicopter game Blues Skies in its presentation and gameplay style, but with it being a tank game at a slower pace.


Soul Trapper: Episode 1 review

Review by Nigel Wood
Soul Trapper: Episode 1 by Realtime Associates is a unique game on the iPhone. Almost completely audio based, the game is best described as an interactive novel. You play as Kane Price, a bit of a loser who has inherited a machine from his dead/ or missing father. The machine is called [...]

Review by Matt Dunn
The original Bike or Die! game from Toyspring has a 4-year legacy going right now. It was, and continues to be, one of the most popular PDA/cellphone games out there, and has a lively community behind it. With a brand new 3D graphics engine, the iPhone’s touch screen, and a massive amount [...]


Jumble Quick Review

Review by Matt Dunn
Jumble is a great looking game that takes a few fun twists to the stacking puzzle game genre. It may not have the cutesy charm of it’s current competitor, Topple, but it makes up for that with some fun gameplay mechanics, and unique sets of items!

Pocket gamer got some time to play with Hero of Sparta at Gameloft HQ as well as some screenshots of the game in action. I must admit it looks promising, and certainly a worthy challenger to Kroll as the best looking GOW style game for iPHone. You can read the article here


Touchgrind review

By Nigel Wood
The 90s were witness to many toy crazes. Pogs, Yo-yos, Tomagotchi, Beanie Babies and Troll Dolls to name but a few. Another was finger skateboards, or to name a brand, the ‘Tech Deck’. These mini skateboards allowed you to steer them and perform tricks with just your index and middle fingers. I’ll have [...]

Meteor Updated

Published: November 26, 2008

comment2 Comments

When I originally reviewed Meteor, it got 3 1/2 stars, due to some frustrating controls and a few other things. Luckily, the developer has since fixed all these issues:
- autosave error - fixed;
- frustrating levels - modified;
- the finger bar has been added to control the rocket paddle;
- mutitouch is now supported, so it is [...]

Zero Hour Quick Review

Published: November 26, 2008

Review by Matt Dunn
Zero hour is a game that pits you against oncoming fighter planes as the gunner for a battleship. An exciting premise to be sure. Unfortunately, this game feels like it was cut short half way through, and really could have been so much more than a quick demo-like experience.

Review by Matt Dunn
Smiles is a surprisingly good puzzle game. In fact, I’m having a hard time finding anything wrong with it! It’s so hard to find fault with a game that’s just so damn happy - and so damn good.

Review by Dave LeClair
For some reason this game seems to be going a little bit under the radar, and why is completely beyond me. Is it the price tag, or people just not getting what the game is about. I’m not too sure what it is, but I mean come on, it’s basically Guitar Hero [...]

Come with me now… back to the 90s… to the days when all we had in phone gaming was our trusty Nokia and the best phone game of all time: that’s right, SNAKE. Since then, Snake has been duplicated, reloaded, revamped, copied, and everything in-between. There are currently 10 Snake renditions/look-a-likes/wannabes in [...]

Connect-the-color games aren’t frontpage news for the App Store. In fact, they’re probably not even last page news at this point. However, when a game comes along that takes a simple genre and raises the bar, it should be noted.

Review by Matt Dunn
I enjoy playing unique games on the iPhone. What I enjoy more, is unique games that pull of a new 3D engine. 3D Constructo Combat is a game unlike anything you’ve played before… but is that a good thing?
