January Games Roundup - part 1 of 2

Time for a new roundup of games that have flooded our inbox for the last couple of weeks.

Bridge Odyssey review

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 [...]

Puzzle Path review

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 [...]

Tumbledrop review

This game could possibly have the highest cute factor of any other on the appstore. Smiley characters?… check!

Schrödinger’s Rat review

Schrödinger’s Cat: A cat, along with a flask containing a poison, is placed in a sealed box shielded against environmentally induced quantum decoherence. If an internal Geiger counter detects radiation, the flask is shattered, releasing the poison that kills the cat. The Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics implies that after a while, the cat is [...]

From LostWinds to Tumbledrop

Hayden Scott-Baron, who was part of the art team responsible for the beautiful WiiWare game LostWinds, has created his first iPhone game.

Arachnadoodle review

Arachnadoodle is the result you get if you combine Peggle and Spider: The Secret of Bryce Manor. Inject a large amount of fun, and make the spider cute as a button, and you got a true winner.
In Arachnadoodle you have to launch Boris the spider across a room to connect his web between pegs. The [...]

Mondrian review

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 [...]

Where’s Waldo?™ The Fantastic Journey review

Where’s Waldo?™ The Fantastic Journey is a game based directly on the format of the children’s books by Martin Handford. Being from Sweden this is actually my first encounter with the hilarious Waldo with his characteristic striped clothes, hat and round glasses. Where’s Waldo is basically a hidden object game within illustrated book form, and [...]

Zwirn review

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 review

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 [...]

The Inferno review

Hell is no nice place to hang around in. Dante knows all about it now he is trying to rescue the love of his life Beatrice from eternal damnation. Based loosely on the classic Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri The Inferno comes packed with literary and mythological references. Guided by Virgil the Roman poet Dante [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Chuzzle review

PopCap is the premium developer and publisher of addictive casual games. Their lineup consists of Bookworm, Peggle and Bejeweled 2 that are all gems in the App Store. While waiting for PopCap to release Plants vs. Zombies we get a port of match 3 puzzler Chuzzle.

Chuzzle is basically a combination of Bejeweled 2 and iPhone [...]

House M.D. review

I love House M.D., and have been following the antics of Dr. Gregory House from the start. Now a game featuring the current season 6 cast has entered the App Store. I expected some sort of Trauma Center or Amateur Surgeon game cutting the innards out of unsuspecting (unconscious) patients. But House M.D. the game [...]

Ringo review

Ringo is a game combining the circular puzzle mechanic of the excellent Ro with the frantic Tetris styled match to remove mechanic. The theme of Ringo is an old gramophone where you match coloured circles that appear on the turntable.

The pieces can be either matched in arcs outwards from the centre, or by getting the [...]
