I had some hands-on preview time with Super Turbo Action Pig, but the App Store rendition is always the best one to review (duh). But what makes Super Turbo Action Pig so… unique? Well duh once again, it’s the pig!
Almost every single day for breakfast, I eat sausages, eggs, waffles, and strawberries. Occasionally though, I [...]
Racing is the most crowded genre in the App Store, with releases of Asphalt 5, Asphalt 4, Raging Thunder, NFS Undercover, and so on and so forth. But one thing we know as fact: this rain of racing games will never stop. There will be sequels, all new games, and other types of interesting racing [...]
The Great Giana Sisters, first released in 1987, was so scandalously similar to Super Mario Bros. that Nintendo immediately reacted and succeeded in having the title struck from the market. Available for only a short while before going M.I.A., the game nonetheless managed to become a hit in Europe and thereafter to garner an enduring [...]
The Hero by Chillingo and Traplight Games flew into the app store this week. As the name suggests, you play as “The Hero,” charged with saving the city from all kinds of bad guys, putting out fires, exterminating insects, high fiving your fans, and just all in all being a great superhero. Oh yeah, you [...]
I like to think of the first Ragdoll Blaster game as being something of a cult classic among iPhone gamers. At first glance it’s a relatively simple-looking affair, a physics-based cannon game with inventive levels and funky doodle graphics. You’re given as many ragdolls as you may need, and the aim of the game is [...]
Vector Tanks, released last year by Peter Hirschberg, was a remake of the 1980 Atari arcade game Battlezone and hooked me instantly. Since then, Hirschberg has teamed up with a few other individuals to form BlipTime Studios. As a studio, the team has re-released his original game as Vector Tanks Classic, and more recently published [...]
I must admit, Transformers toys were pretty awesome. When I first saw the commercials for them, the song was so catchy that I found myself singing/yelling it right to my brothers’ faces. But, of course, I never found myself going to Toys R’ Us and purchasing the plastic machine, as it was a waste of [...]
Marco Mazzoli’s Spirit is a game that truly embodies the spirit of the app store. Tightly woven, elegantly presented, thoroughly engrossing, incredibly fluid, easy to pick-up and play, difficult to put down, Spirit is a paradigm example of independent game development for the iPhone.
The concept is simple: using touch controls to direct your spirit, you [...]
Gameloft seems to be the only contender so far in the App Store’s race in proving itself as capable of first-person shooters; no other developer has truly released first-person shooters with this high of a production value. But of course, that just means more money for Gameloft right?
Their first, true first-person shooter, Modern Combat Sandstorm, received [...]
In the spirit of other underground dig it up yourself games like I Dig It Explorations, Dig Dug, and California Gold Rush, Mole – Quest for the Terracore Gem by Roo Games brings a new entry into that genre. The game is perfectly designed for the iDevices and the developers have seemed to think of [...]
