'Slingshot Racing' Review - Mobile Racing Redefined
If there's one thing I think we've all learned after 4 years of gaming with a touch screen, it's that the simpler you can make the controls on a device that's devoid of buttons the better. Sure, virtual buttons that mimic a traditional game controller have come a long way, and are certainly adequ...
'Wings of Valor' Review - Greatish Littler War Game
Wings of Valor [ $1.99 ], the "Wings of Fury" spiritual remake by Idea Spoon, is a rare gem in the app store - a game that might not sell you on its screenshots alone, but is an automatic purchase for gamers "in the know." Based on a classic game for the Amiga/PC/Apple II...
'LostWinds2: Winters of The Melodias' Review - A Gorgeous Wind-powered Adventure
Like the bad boy that every girl finds impossible to resist, Frontier Developments' sequel to their platform-adventure LostWinds [ $3.99 ]from last year isn't always easy to control. Precision is not LostWinds2: Winter of the Melodias' [ $3.99 ] best feature. With the sheer amount of things that ...
'Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space Ep 5' Review - To Hell and Back
Season finales are undeniably difficult to pull off: they need to pull the disparate plots of the story together in a way that feels satisfying but not hackneyed, while still maintaining a sense of self-contained narrative. A serialized game like Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space carries the ad...
'N.O.V.A. 3' Single Player Review - Volterites Never Looked This Good
Say what you will about Gameloft, the developer occasionally does a good job of filling the App Store void with iOS versions of console staples. N.O.V.A. 3 [ $6.99 ], the third game in the company's perennial FPS series is one such title. Capitalizing on the success of the previous two titles, as...
'Bug Princess 2' Review - Breaking News: Cave Makes Fantastic Shooters
On the iOS platform, nobody has done as much for the 2D scrolling arcade shooter genre than Japanese developer Cave. For the past 2 years, they have consistently delivered high quality ports of their stellar back catalog of games to the App Store. They have yet to really have a misstep either, pr...
'Bubble Pig' Review - Pigs Don't Fly, They Bounce
Donut Games has seemingly always had the philosophy of making small, simple games that only have a few bits of gameplay to speak of. Bubble Pig [ $0.99 ] continues that trend by having one touch gameplay that is both fun and rewarding time after time.While pigs don't exactly fly, their rubbery sk...
'Bar Oasis 1.5' Review - Get the Shaker Back Out
TouchArcade has gone a round with Bar Oasis before, back in 2010 when the first installment came out. However, I was completely unfamiliar with the game when I got word of Bar Oasis 1.5 [Free], which promises to bridge the gap between the first game and the sequel. I wasn't sure what the differen...
'Brainsss' Review - All We Wanna Do is Eat Your Brains; We're Not Unreasonable
Zombie games are still a big deal and it continues to blow my mind that this is the case. What hasn't been done in a zombie game? Think about it. We've shot zombies and we've cut zombies. We've set zombies on fire. We've run over zombies and cured zombies and beat zombies with baseball bats. We'v...
'Spellsword' Review - Arena Combat Goes RPG
If there's anything that could completely wreck my plans and productivity, it would be a Super Crate Box [$1.99] RPG. I'd say a quick prayer of thanks to Vlambeer for not going forward with that idea, but it's too late. FireFruitForge and Everplay Interactive have something against letting me wor...
