Until recently, ninja games on the iPhone had been about as much fun as ritual suicide. Then December rolled along and brought with it Mika Mobile’s OMG Pirates!, the App Store’s first (and only) Must Have ninja game.

Not since the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has pizza seen such love in a game. In Blacksmith Games‘ Plushed, pizza is practically a currency.

We’ve seen screenshots. We’ve seen hands-on videos. But we have yet to see the trailer… until now. Gameloft has finally released a trailer for the SEGA masterpiece known as Earthworm Jim, a platformer that made it onto the Gameboy and SEGA machines quite a long time ago. I’ve played this game on the Gameboy many [...]

Most developers, it seems, have not yet come to the realization that the iPhone’s touch controls lack the precision necessary for the traditional platformer. And so the genre is largely represented by poor Super Mario Bros. clones, and half-baked ports of old classics, like [...]
