'Mailmen' iPad Review - A Stealthy Take on the Postal Service
22/02/2012 |
Hot off the recently released Dungeon Crawlers [$3.99], the folks over at Ayopa Games are back with Mailmen [$1.99], an enjoyable stealth-based tale showcasing the eternal battle between mail carriers and the canines that chase them. Featuring a crazy story, good team-based gameplay, and well done level design, Mailmen is well worth checking out.
Mailmen follows the tale of three postal employees as they try to deliver letters and packages to the public while thwarting the plans of the nefarious...
'DreamWorks Dragons: TapDragonDrop' Review - Sheep Herding Puzzles Are Better With Dragons
I have to admit I'm behind on children's cinema. I totally haven't seen Dreamworks' How to Train Your Dragon. Though they're clearly from the same world, I'm pretty sure it doesn't follow the same plot as PikPok's DreamWorks Dragons: TapDragonDrop [ $1.99 ], which is about kids riding dragons to ...
'Cut the Rope: Experiments' Review - Om Nom is Back!
It's hard to believe that Zepto Lab's classic, Cut the Rope [$0.99/Lite/HD/HD Lite], is less than a year old. In that time it's inspired a legion of physics-puzzle copycats. It's also hard to believe that we only learned about Cut the Rope: Experiments [$0.99/HD] two days ago,...
'These Robotic Hearts of Mine' Review - A Successful Experiment in Narrative Puzzles
Stories are hard to come by on the App Store. Most games don't bother with even a pretense of a story, and those that do tend to be crammed in rather painfully. It's understandable -- most iOS games are created by tiny teams, often just a programmer and an artist, so there's not much room or budg...
'Rocket Fox' Review - A Puzzle-Platformer as Fun For Your Mind as It is Your Reflexes
I love the App Store. On a single platform, I can draw from a well of my favorite classics like Doom [ $4.99 ], and try out thousands games like N.O.V.A. 3 [ $6.99 ] that take their inspiration from popular console and PC games but offer an experience tailor-made for tablets and smartphones. But ...

'Peak Gold' Review - Hooking for Gold in All the Right Places
Growing up, I had one of those grandfathers that was obsessed with gold and keeping money out of the banks. He used to show me these little pieces of gold he had and would be like "If you work hard, all this can be yours." (In other news, my grandfather may be Scrooge McDuck.) As such, ...
'Push-Cars' Review - Hit the Road, Sparky
Push-Cars [$0.99 / HD] is a puzzle game with a conscience. Like a pint-sized version of Pixar's Cars, you've got a bunch of anthropomorphic cars to handle. There's the eco-friendly ones like Sparky, the slow but green electric, and there's the gas guzzlers like Sixteen. Your j...
'Ninja Pong' Review - Big Headed Ninjas Bounce Best
There's something dodgy about Ninja Pong's [99 / HD] premise. You're telling me that professional ninjas would jump a huge gap onto a tiny platform that has to be manually controlled? And that they'd do it wearing any number of silly hats? I just don't buy it.You might want to, though. Silly and ...
'Mini Motor Racing' Review - A Beautiful, Fulfilling Drive
I'm a big fan of top-down arcade racers. The short tracks, speed boosts, and tight races create a kind of intensity that I find hard to replicate in other, more traditional racing games. Enter Mini Motor Racing [$1.99 / HD], the latest from The Binary Mill, and a good example of why I love top-do...
