(iOS) Into The Dead - 9.3
The developers over at Pik Pok did something brilliant with the endless runner genre. They added zombies! The undead creatures have their own first person endless runner now. How does the endless runner fair when zombies are added? Into The Dead starts out with your character waking up - in first person - and you see a crashed helicopter with some dead folk lying about with a horde of zombies coming your way. Naturally, you turn the other way and run. The further you run, the higher your...

5 months ago - (iOS) Doomsday Preppers - 1.0
Some of the human race get very creative when thinking how the world will end. Zombies, a Mayan prediction, nuclear destruction, the list goes on and on. Doomsday Preppers is a new documentary show on National Geographic with each episode featuring different people and families, how they believe the end will happen, and how they prepare for it. Now the App Store has a free game based on the show. Movie to video game adaptions (and vice versa) don’t usually get the love they deserve, a...

5 months ago - Polara - 8.9
The App Store has become a minefield of running games. Temple Run is the one of the biggest runners on the platform, and it is one of the first to cross my mind when tasked with naming them off at first thought. However, now we need to bring in Polara, Hope This Works Games newest title. A 2D auto-runner with glowing visuals, is it worth a spot on your iDevice or Android? Polara’s story puts you in the shoes of Agent Lara, who has been given a color-changing suit to test out and soon...

5 months ago - (iOS) Stan Lee's Verticus - 4.0
Stan “The Man” Lee, the creator and co-creator of some of the world’s most beloved comic book superheroes, such as Spider-Man, the Avengers and the X-Men. Stan Lee has seen his comic creations come to life in many different formats, from movies to video games, but Verticus - an original hero - is his first iOS creation. Verticus is an endless free-falling game, so the question is, can The Man give new life to the genre? Verticus does have very nice animated-style visuals....

5 months ago - (iOS) Sonic Jump - 8.2
Sonic has been around for a number of years and he’s had a few different jobs, such as Olympic athlete, runner, racer, etc... Now he has a new item to add to his resume: jumping. Sega has given mobile gamers a Doodle Jump clone featuring their blue hedgehog mascot (based on the old 2006 mobile game of the same name). How does Sonic Jump fare against other jumper games? Sonic Jump has two modes, Story and Arcade. The Story mode features three different worlds with over thirty...

5 months ago - Angry Birds Star Wars - 9.5
What happens when you put two massive franchises in a blender? Take one of the world’s hottest games; a physics puzzler featuring ticked off colorful birds and green pigs. Now add in one of the world’s most beloved franchises, Star Wars. The result is the best Angry Birds title of the entire franchise. Angry Birds Star Wars is like any other Angry Birds title. It begins with a comic cutscene, with multiple panels kicking off the story, here loosely following the tale of Star...

5 months ago - Bad Piggies - 8.0
The company who brought the world the hit Angry Birds franchise, its sequels, Amazing Alex, and the newly released Angry Birds Star Wars, also brings us a spin-off to Angry Birds, Bad Piggies. The spin-off features the titular Pigs in favor of the birds, but the gameplay is not the same as the bird swinging puzzler. Is Bad Piggies as good as Angry Birds or should you leave this bacon alone? Bad Piggies starts out with a comic book style intro, like any Angry Birds title, showing the green...

6 months ago - (iOS) Space Inversion 2 - 5.0
Back in the late 70s, Space Invaders was released and became a cultural hit, referenced in almost every form of entertainment today from TV shows such as Futurama and Robot Chicken to the logo for Video Games Live. It also spawned multiple sequels, remakes, and clones, just like any other hit game. Bring in Space Inversion 2 on the App Store. When I first saw Space Inversion 2, I jumped right into this Space Invaders clone with an easier mindset, after having a good time with the Mario clone...

7 months ago - (iOS) Pizza Boy - 7.9
After I first played Pizza Boy, I found it to be a pretty interesting and fun title, even though it is yet another Mario clone. Nevertheless, I found that this one strongly stands out from the rest of the clone-crowd in the App Store. The question is, how does this one stand up to the big N’s icon? Well... Pizza Boy is a 2D platformer with a beautiful 16-bit style to it that really makes the game look and feel like it came straight from your old Super Nintendo, which is a nice fit...

The Simpsons, everyone’s favorite yellow family for nearly 25 years now, have made an appearance in just about every type of media, from TV and music albums to comic books and the movies, and also many video games. It’s hard to not find the Simpsons somewhere or in something these days. There are two Simpsons games to download on the App Store, but for now, I’m taking a look at the free to play Sim-styled game, The Simpsons: Tapped Out, which has made it’s way back...

7 months ago - The Tiny Bang Story - 4.7
When I first saw The Tiny Bang Story, I didn’t know what exactly to expect from it, good or bad. What I got was a Katamari-looking game mixed with a point & click adventure title gone wrong. Now I did like a few of the game’s ideas, but I went through few too many problems with the title as well. The Tiny Bang Story starts out like a storybook tale, reminiscent of the opening to Yoshi’s Island. A meteor hit this tiny world, and all these puzzle pieces go missing, so...

8 months ago - (iOS) MANOS: The Hands Of Fate - 6.4
When I first heard that a new NES-styled game had hit the App Store, I was intrigued. I grew up with a NES in the apartment, so I have many fond memories of the 8-bit Entertainment System. When I see a NES-styled game on the App Store, it hits home for me most of the time. Now we have MANOS: The Hands of Fate, a game based on the worst movie of all time, and turned into a bad NES game here, but is it really bad? I watched the movie just to see if I could get a better understanding of the...

Pitfall originally came out for the Atari 2600 in 1982, fast forward 30 years and Pitfall is released onto the App Store for a 30th anniversary. This is a new Pitfall though, as after looking at just one screenshot you will see that you’re in for yet another endless runner. However, out of all the endless runners I’ve encountered on the App Store, I feel that this one actually stands out from the Temple Run-clone crowd. The first thing you’ll notice is the game’s very...

8 months ago - Agent Dash - 5.5
Agent Dash is yet another endless runner in the same as vain Temple Run, but with a different theme slapped on it. It is the latest in a long run of clones of the popular on-rails runner to hit the App Store. The differences are aesthetic; in Temple Run you’re running away from demon monkeys, but in Agent Dash, you play as a James Bond-like character who looks like Bruce Campbell running to or from something, but in secret spy locations such as secret lairs, jungles, the usual cliches...

8 months ago - Super Stickman Golf - 9.9
In wake of the news that there will be a Super Stickman Golf 2, I decided to download Super Stickman Golf. Super Stickman Golf is available on the App Store and Google Play for free. Now the only golf games I have played in my time are a few of the ‘Hot Shots Golf’ titles, along with few from Gameloft’s ‘Let’s Golf’ series. I tend to enjoy golf games because of how relaxing they are. To me, I find a lot of peace and relaxation in just about any golf game...

Haters and foodies, have I got a game for you. Epic Meal Time, the extremely popular YouTube series, finally has made the jump to our favorite medium. In the Epic Meal Time game, you play as Harley, but you can unlock other characters from the show with the in-game currency. The game is faithful to the show, which means all throughout you’ll hear epic music going on and on until you fail a stage. The gameplay feels very similar to another food game for iOS. The hit title “Fruit...

9 months ago - (iOS) The Amazing Spider-Man - 5.5
In my first half hour with Gameloft’s movie tie-in “The Amazing Spider-Man” for iOS, I was surprised to see a bright and colorful open world New York City to swing around and explore. I spent at least 20 minutes swinging around before I got around to actually going through the story; a testament to the magic an open world brings to a Spider-Man game (a lesson Beenox appears to have finally learned for their console versions). For an iOS title, I was impressed that...

Pac’N Jump is Namco Bandai’s take on the endless jumper genre. Think Namco’s iconic hero meets Doodle Jump. You play as Pac-Man and you jump higher and higher across levels based on classic Namco games, a hook that is much cooler than you might think... Jumping through levels like Pac-Man, X-Rally, The Tower of Druaga is quite fun. There are five levels followed by a special stage pack which includes three levels for 99 cents. The music varies depending on what...

I got into classic arcade games when I was growing up because I had Namco Museum for the PlayStation 1. I love these games because of their simplicity. Simple graphics and simple gameplay from simple times. Fast forward to 2012 where we can download these classics to our phones, consoles, and just about any electronic device we own, anywhere, and at anytime. Namco’s answer to this is Namco Arcade, a free-to-download app, making it already good to go, but there are a few downers to the...

It’s baaaaaccckkkk! The fast food serving franchise returns once again to satiate your fast food customer pleasing needs. Stand O Food 3 is, as the name implies, the third entry in the series, and this time comes bearing some improvements that make it stand apart from its predecessors, while still retaining its core gameplay. But is it enough to make a return visit? The biggest change comes in the form of a narrative. Past games just dumped you into the burger building, without much...

1 year ago - (Android) Youda Survivor - 7.8
One of the most endearing aspects of mobile gaming, for me, is the bite-sized gameplay, and the bite-sized progression that comes with it. Getting that quick fix as I wait in for the oil change on my car to be finished or while I’m awaiting the server to bring my dinner to the table while at a restaurant is not only fun, but helps kill the tedium that some of life’s more mundane experiences offer. However, bite-sized gaming is a bit of a different breed when compared to the more...

NinjaBee has some of the best games in my humble opinion and we finally get one of their best ported to the iPhone/iPod Touch. Kaloki Adventure is that game which many people may have played on the PC and Xbox 360 but now have a chance to try it on their portable Apple device. The concept of the game is you have been hired to build and maintain space stations to save the Princess of the Galaxy. You build lemonade stands, newspapers, science stations, power devices and many more platforms on...

I was shocked to find such a great looking game for the iPhone and it was not because of the power of the platform itself but most of the games are very basic graphic wise and do not push the iPhone very hard. Developer Fishlabs creates games for phones and now iTouch and iPhone and it shows that they take the platform seriously and for mobile gaming junkies like me that is fantastic.The graphics and audio are great for the game and you should use your headphones to get the most out of the...
