The vertical shooter is becoming a well-worn staple of the app store and for every worthy entry to the genre, a multitude of disposable titles conspire to bury them. One of the newer and more notable vertical shooters is The Quadsphere‘s Icarus-X. While many vertical shooters choose to be retro, Icarus-X embraces modern presentation with [...]
When it comes to dual-stick space shooters, two games stand above the rest: Isotope and Meteor Blitz. Isotope for its labyrinthine stages, enemy variety, and nuanced ship selection; Meteor Blitz for its polish, tack-sharp controls and stunning visuals. Earth Is Gone, by NubsterSoft, is a new kid on the block. And while it doesn’t quite [...]
Roswell Fighter, by Gamelab Innovation Center, is a stylish, hardcore arcade shoot’em up with a retro 1950′s vibe. In ways, the game hearkens back to old-school classics like 1942 and 1943: The Battle of Midway. As one might suppose from the title, though, the game draws more heavily upon War of the Worlds than on [...]
Azkend is one of the early iPhone puzzle games I didn’t get to try; I’ve heard of it but never brought myself to buying it. With so many other puzzle games appearing in the App Store, I couldn’t help but pass on to purchase others such as Bejeweled 2. But I finally got the chance [...]
In the realm of 3D space shooters, Galaxy On Fire and Star Pagga have long been the app store’s standard bearers. Galaxy On Fire offers an expansive, free-roaming universe, a rich character-driven narrative, lots of ship customization, a system of trade and more. Lacking so many RPG elements, Star Pagga is a streamlined space shooter [...]
The zombie apocalypse is a funny theme, as so many people attempt to tell the story their way via video game. There’s the cartoon, run at your house, and you flick them away; there’s the zombies-breaking-through-your-house-and-you-have-shoot-them-down zombie apocalypse story, along with many more that are too long to cover. So what’s BioDefense all about? Well, [...]
Vampires and zombies have been a huge part of modern gaming culture, especially when it comes to supreme scream. But sometimes, they tend to be used in humored situations using the art known as cartoon art. That is not the case for Vampire Origins, which utilizes the 3D capabilities of the iPhone to create a [...]
It’s basically Doodle Jump backwards. You must fall as far as possible without getting stuck on any traps or flat platforms, and the game is powered with OpenFeint. And while I absolutely love OpenFeint to death, it does start to get a bit of a burden when the achievements are too difficult and the gameplay [...]
The wave of zombie games is endless; there will never be a time when zombie games cease to exist. And the iPhone is not exempt from this apocalypse, as there are hundreds of other games that have to do with zombies and blood and sheer terror. And while More Zombies?! isn’t exactly the “pee-your-pants” scary, [...]
Pool has always been a classic game that has shown up on every single platform imaginable, starting from the PC to the PSP, DS, and mobile devices. But pool hasn’t translated very well onto the iPhone and, well, there aren’t many “pool” game choices to choose from. I know that before Pool Pro Online 3, [...]
