Once [...]

Com2us take on the over-saturated market of Sniper games on the AppStore. So is success squarely in their sights or do they become just another John Doe in a body bag?

Soosiz is another of those titles that I recommend you to just go and buy. With a name such as Soosiz I didn’t really expect what I got. I seldom think much of games with names I can hardly pronounce, but still games like Flimbo’s Quest and Gianna Sisters have been great in spite of [...]

Don’t mess with Earthworm Jim if you are a baddy. Back in the day as an earthworm all Jim could do was simply to wriggle in the dirt, and die on the sidewalk on a rainy day.

Many iPhone games on the market shoot for simplicity; World Wars went a little too far in that direction. Riffing on the classic board game Risk, World Wars is a strategy sim on a much smaller scale.
After getting a look at the in game advertisements, players start up a game while fighting off the sudden [...]

Okay, let’s get this out of the way. The TD in the name “Ninja TD” stands for Tower Defense.
Now that half the audience has left with a groan, we can get on with the review.
The tower defense genre has quite a healthy representation on the iPhone. Should you care about another one? With a few [...]

Deadmau5 is a progressive house artist and producer with a lot of great tracks in a quite extensive back catalogue. The track Ghosts n Stuff is one of the best in my opinion, and that track is the foundation to Deadmau5 Ghosts game.
Deadmau5 Ghosts is basically Pac-Man but with the Deadmau5 creature instead of [...]

“Vector Wars is strategy game where you command vector units to take control of all of the spawns.” This is all the information you get on the App Store page for Vector Wars. Sadly it is about as interesting as the game once you start playing it.
Basically Vector Wars is Galcon but with set [...]

When I first saw Zen, I thought it was another accelerometer maze game. You know, tilt the phone to move the ball to the exit, avoiding obstacles, blah, blah, blah. I underestimated you, didn’t I, Zen?
In Zen, you must use waves to move the ball to the exit. Start a wave by tapping on one [...]

IGN has posted some sweet screen shots from the upcoming Ghosts ‘N Goblins game for the iPhone. It looks like a very different game from the PSP version, except for the simlar 3d/2D graphics style. Also different it seems you have more than one person to choose from, and the bosses and weapons look super [...]

What do aliens, ninjas, and unicorns have in common? Well… nothing actually, but they are all featured in The Iconfactory and DS MediaLabs Ramp Champ. This is an adaptation of the classic game of skee-ball for the iPhone.
When you launch the app you’re greeted with a nice banner that is sure to remind you of your favorite carnival or festival. If the banner fails, the music that follows surely can not. The entire look and feel of Ramp Champ does a fine job convincing you that you’re playing skee-ball at a carnival. However, the sounds are what really make the game. The balls slide into place to start the game, each target has it’s own impact sound, and of course the subtle theme music in the background. The only thing missing is the actual sound of the ball flying down the ramp towards it’s unsuspecting target.

Crystal Cave Classic is [...]

Magical Tower Defense is a path tower defense game with cute characters instead of towers. It reminds me a lot of the graphical style, map layout and controls found in Crystal Defenders from Square Enix.
There are ground enemies that move along the path, and airborne units flying in circles over the map. You have [...]

I have enjoyed using Koss products for years, and highlights include the Koss Porta Pro and the Koss Sparkplug. Seeing a modified Sparkplug with microphone for the iPhone called Koss iSpark was more than I could resist.
My experience with Koss has been mostly positive even though some of them have had questionable build quality. [...]

King Fish is a peaceful game filled with soothing music, beautiful scenery, and a whole lot of fish feasting on other fish. It’s a fun little time killer, however it is rather short. There are only 2o levels, and you can not choose which level to play after beating it. The extent of the replay [...]
