Unboxing and First Impressions With the Parrot AR.Drone [Updated]
31/08/2010 |
There is nothing worse than getting a FedEx tracking number late on a Thursday, knowing full well that your package will not arrive until Monday. Even as an adult, I'll still obsessively refresh tracking information, even when I know something won't be delivered for days. Still, that didn't stop me from tracking the Parrot AR.Drone all weekend, or getting up and looking out the window when I even thought I might have heard the sound of tires on gravel in the distance all day...
'Bike Baron' Review - Blowin' Up the Bike Path
How much should a game punish you? This is the question that hangs over Mountain Sheep's Bike Baron [$0.99] but the answer is totally subjective. Me, I can take a bit of brutality. Sadistic level design appeals — to a point. You'll need at least as much tolerance as I have to enjo...
'3D Pixel Racing' Review - Neat Visual Style but a Horrible User Interface
In 3D Pixel Racing [$1.99] the car graphics look extremely blocky – there's simply no anti-aliasing (or smoothing of the edges) …but that's not a bad thing, because it's completely intentional! This car racing game uses 8-bit pixelated graphics to depict the 3D cars, tr...
'Crazy Escape' Review - Why Penguins Should Not Have Driver's Licenses
Fall 2011 is the unofficial season of anthropomorphized penguins. Don't believe me? Between the penguin sweater craze and the release of Happy Feet 2, adorable penguins are everywhere. Now, a third entry into fall's penguin lineup is here in the form of BulkyPix's super-cute new game, Crazy Escap...
'Worms Crazy Golf' Review - A Hole in Worm
I have a weird amount of respect for the Worms franchise because not only has it lasted for almost two decades, it has consistently been a solid, albeit unchanging experience. The problem is, I've never actually been able to really get into the games, but with Team17's Worms Crazy Golf ...
A Collection of Sales and Freebies to Check Out
I'm not totally sure what the occasion is, but there sure does seem to be a ton of sales going on this week. Perhaps it's some pre-Halloween celebrating, or maybe developers have seen the number of new iPhones sold this month and want to capitalize on all of the potential new iOS gamers...
Appy Entertainment Reveals 'SpellCraft School of Magic'
It's becoming more and more difficult to get excited for social games these days, especially as everyone and their second cousin jumps on the free to play bandwagon, but the guys from Appy Entertainment just announced their next title, SpellCraft School of Magic utilizing some key words that almo...
'Zombieville USA 2' Hits App Store Hungry For Brains
The original Zombieville USA [$1.99 / Lite] hit very early in the life of the App Store and was one of the many initial indie success stories that helped to spur the whole iOS development gold rush. Heck, it wasn't even called iOS back then. Since then, Mika Mobile has gone on to release OMG Pira...
'Galaxy Pirate Adventure' Review - A Beautiful, Bland Space Odyssey
Galaxy Pirate Adventure [$4.99] is one of those games that seems to have doubled down on an impressive graphics system while not giving as much attention to the rest of the gameplay. Rest assured, if you're running Galaxy Pirate on an iPad 2 or iPhone 4S, you will be impressed with how this game ...
