'Alive4ever mini' Review - A Competent, If Overdone, Zombie Shooter

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a bit tired of killing zombies. Sure, we've had tons of fun blowing the brains out of the living undead in the past, but there's only so many ways you can portray it until it starts to get a bit old. Alive4ever mini [ $0.99 ]from Meridian Digital Entertainm...

'O2Jam U' Review - A Freemium Take on Music Titles

Honestly, there's not much a rhythm game has to do in order to make me happy. A nice selection of tap-friendly tunes, decent UI, and adequate replayability features are the extent of my wishlist. For its part, O2Jam U [ Free ]manages to satisfy two of those three criteria, making it a satisfactor...

'Witch Wars' Review - A Competitive Match 3 That Comes at a Price

It would be easy to write Witch Wars [ Free ] off for its, shall we say, intensely aggressive IAP implementation. It would be hard to argue that Com2Us hasn't reached new heights on that score. But let me play devil's advocate for a minute. Sure, there are characters that can be unlocked for ten ...

'MonTowers' Review - Making Fond Monster Mammaries

I admit without shame that I was a huge Poké-nerd back in Pikachu's heyday. The explosion of Pokémon's popularity coincided with my sophomore year of high school, and being nerdy enough to know my cool-kid rep was in the negatives even before I started lugging around a Pokédex with...

'Brandnew Boy' Review - A Little Bit Of Style, Panache, And... Batman?

As much as we may not want to admit it, a game's style goes a long way-especially in a market as crowded as the App Store. With so many games from so many developers, the right icon and the right visual presentation are often the be all and end all of standing out from the pack. And while those o...

'N.O.V.A. 3' Multiplayer Review - An Inconsistent Experience

In our previous review, we covered N.O.V.A 3's [ $6.99 ] single player experience with the promise of reporting on its multiplayer after the game hit the public and the online servers filled up with players. Unfortunately, after a few days of blasting away against fellow iOS gamers, N.O.V.A.'s mu...

'Penny Time' Review - Freeze Time and Escape the Blah, With a Dodo

Late last week The New York Times published an op-ed debate titled, "Hip, or About to Break a Hip," a discussion about whether 45 year-old skaters are "embarrassing and risky or inspiring and life-affirming?" Opinions ranged from "inspiring and life-affirming," to &q...

'KOTOMON' Review - No Controlling This Dance

When we first found out about Kotomon [ $2.99 ] recently, I was excited for the possibilities especially considering that some of the developers at Monstars consisted of folks from Q Entertainment (Lumines, Rez). Unfortunately, reputation alone is not enough to carry this simple music platformer ...

'Frenzy Pop' Review - This Soda-Fueled Platformer Has a Lot to Love, Minus a Few Belches

Like most 2D platformer stars, Mr. Pop of Frenzy Pop [$0.99 / $0.99 (HD)] enjoys long walks on the beach, scouring levels for hidden items, and running and jumping through a series of trap-infested environments. Fortunately, the orange soda bottle's bag of tricks distinguishes itself by extendin...
