The Best of 2009

Welcome to the TouchGen Awards, where we honour the best games that the AppStore offered up to us in 2009.

Parcel Panic review

Wow, I am blown away! Parcel Panic is basically Crazy Taxi on an archipelago of islands. Instead of taking fares you move parcels using your trusty old pickup truck. It retains the same intensity, and shortcut chasing as Crazy Taxi but still add a lot of own character into the formula.

You start with a basic [...]

Snow Moto Racing review

I asked for a snowmobile racer from Resolution Interactive AB in my review of their excellent Dirt Moto Racing. Resolution Interactive AB specializes in racing games and Snow Moto Racing is their third game in the Moto Racing series. The timing of the game is perfect for me who has loads of snow outside and [...]

TileStorm review

Eggbot is in trouble; apparently his creator thought that a robot should have a paved road to be able to travel. No fancy jetpacks, hoverthingys or grappling devices for this robot. Now the worst has happened, Eggbot needs to go places but the roads are all puzzled up. It is up to you to help [...]

TouchDown - issue 6

Well, 2010 is soon upon us, and good’ole Santa will be visiting us tonight while we sleep. I hope you’ve all been good boys and girls.

Fallen EP-1 review

Wow, I have been waiting for a true Resident Evil 2.5D style adventure and here comes Fallen and make the claim to be all I have been waiting for. I love survival horror, and the Resident Evil and Silent Hill games have a special place in my dark heart. I really want there to be [...]

NOVA review

Wow, don’t they grow up fast! Only a year and a half into the life of the AppStore and it looks like we’ve finally arrived. Gameloft unleash their piece de resistance, the much hyped and highly anticipated N.O.V.A.

EA Holiday sale

That’s right, hurry if you want to pick up EA’s iPhone and iPod Touch games catalogue at reduced prices this holiday season.

iSamJackson brings badassery to the iPhone

“That’s my iPhone, the one that has ‘Badass Mother F******’ written on it.”

Dragon’s Lair Review

The original QTE (Quick Time Event) game finally hits the AppStore. But is it a faithful re-release or a mobile mess?

Moskila Review

All of the quirk of Japan in one strange little game. If Moskila is to believed, the life of a mosquito is a tortured, frantic existence filled with malevolent desktop fans and death in the form of fly swatters, bug spray and dragon flies.
As a mosquito, your one goal is to ingest as much human [...]

Pac-Man Championship Edition Review

Namco bring their Xbox Live gem to the AppStore. With the original Pac-Man not faring to well on iPhone and iPod Touch, and Pac-Man Remix offering a good, but not great, experience for fans, it lies with Pac Man Championship Edition (PMCE) to carry the torch and do the original arcade game full justice.
What’s interesting [...]

Speed Forge Extreme review

A new contender arrives on the Wipeout clone scene, but does it have enough to take the crown? Read on to find out.

Twin Blades Review

Beauty is only skin deep in this great looking but ultimately shallow hack’n’slasher from Press Start Studios and BulkyPix…

F1 2009 Review

Codemasters give the iPhone and iPod Touch owners the sights and sounds of the exciting 2009 Formula One season. But is it life in the fast lane or a trip to the pits?…
Until now, Formula One games have been a little thin on the ground on the AppStore. There have been offerings from both Brawn [...]

Friday Freebie!!

Today’s Friday Freebie is 3 $25 dollar gift cards from ZAGG (Zealous about Great Gear). ZAGG makes protective skins, headphones, and custom printed skins for the iPhone. Earlier this week I got to sample their products and I have to admit I am impressed. So far the headphones are fantastic (check out the hanging loose cord) [...]

Flipside versus bitFLIP review

At times inspiration runs dry even for me, and the first draft for this versus review was created about a month ago. My idea was to take the flip in Flipside and bitFLIP, and basically make a flipping comparison of the two flippers. Initial impressions of both games were flipping good, but as time went [...]

Spooky Spirits: Puzzle Drop!! review

In Spooky Spirits: Puzzle Drop!! you have to help two young spirit wardens in getting your escaped ghosts back. The spirit wardens, Becky and Tim, were asleep for just a short second and that was all it took. Now the spookies are scattered around the world, and by some strange reason the only way to [...]

TouchGen Unleashed - episode 47

In this episode we chat about Glyder 2, SEED, Angry Birds, and kick some zombie ass in Call of Duty: WaW!

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X review

In Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. you sign up as David Crenshaw who is a member of the High Altitude Warfare eXperimental squadron. As a member of H.A.W.X. you have to provide cover fire for the covert ground team known as Ghost team. The different cash cows created by Tom Clancy merge well, and it is easy [...]
