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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
One of the suggestions I made for Battle of Puppets was the implementation of Open Feint, one of the best and most popular social platforms on the iPhone. I love Open Feint for its achievements and leaderboards, and Battle of Puppets was a game that I thought was perfect for that social platform model.

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 [...]
Chances are, when the inevitable “what game should I get” question arises, one of several Nimblebit classics will often be the answer. Personally, Scoops and Sky Burger have permanent spaces on my iPod Touch and my parents even spend many an hour on Textropolis and Fishtropolis. So let’s call it a family addiction.
So of course [...]
I’m not a terribly energetic person. To me, getting out of bed and switching discs in the DVD player is a form of exercise. Repeat three or four times and you’re done for the day, anything else is just burning precious muscle mass. With this in mind, you won’t be surprised to know that I [...]
Oh geez… what if robots actually ruled the world? What if they got so powerful and had thoughts of their own that they went against their own maker? What if…?
I’m sure atleast some of you have seen the movie I, Robot featuring Will Smith, and the movie was all about robots taking over the world [...]
Picture this: You’re staring at the menu in Starbucks, debating whether to order a coffee or a latte, with 2% milk or soy, and in a tall, grandé or venti cup. You feel almost overwhelmed by options, but will be drinking fast-food coffee no matter your choices. And you know there is better coffee out [...]
Oooo… the carnival’s in town! Probably one of the best days in any little child’s life would be witnessing the clowns along with winning overly large, stuffed animals as prizes. I, for one, have always been a fan of carnival games and carnival-esc themes, but Battle of Puppets seems to fall off its strings.
Now don’t [...]
