Ok, I have to admit that my first thought when seeing the title Snip! was that it would be a game about balls. Thankfully Snip! isn’t the castration simulator that I had in mind. In Snip! you have to guide an intergalactic cat into a basket. It is a new twist on the physics game [...]

Arroic is a game that depends far too highly on a gamer’s need to do everything in a game and far too little on a gamer’s desire for compelling mechanics.

Hey mate can you save me? I am kind of stuck here on the other side of the ravine. And yes I have been forced into a cage so I can’t do it myself. And well I am kind of a squirrel so I can’t do heavy lifting anyway. My name is Squirrel by the [...]

Some games just hooks me completely, and I play for hours until I get stuck completely. Puzzle Path is such a game that I just couldn’t put down when I first started it. Now I am stuck on a level, and I can’t seem to progress anymore. Frustration makes me want to just erase the [...]

If an internal Geiger counter detects radiation, the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the cat.

I am not versed in modern art, I would like to be but I am not. Just like I would like to know what the wine I drink is supposed to convey or the quality and age of the whisky I drink. As it is now I like to look at cubes as art, drink [...]

One of the best games for 2009 was definitely Zen Bound. It brought a tactile, tranquil and unique gaming experience to the iPhone. I have been waiting for clones of Zen Bound since the release but there has been none so far. Perhaps it is harder to follow in the footsteps of Zen Bound than [...]

Chromixa is a game about blending colours to solve puzzles. Sounds simple enough but it is actually brutally engrossing once you get into it. I have yet to solve all the 48 puzzles, and I don’t feel any urge to do so. Chromixa is more about relaxation, and getting into a tranquil state just rotating [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
