Last year we reported on an upcoming multi-player update to the iPhone card game Durak. The promised update has finally arrived and delivers a number of new multi-player features. Durak is a popular Russian card game typically played between two to six people (two to four in the iPhone version). Each player receives six cards […]
Gamevil has posted a hands on gameplay video of their upcoming game iPhone game Vanquish: The Oath of Brothers which is due for launch this Friday. The game’s story is based on the Three Kingdoms and is set on horseback. The gameplay video and mechanic feels somewhat similar to Hybrid but in an ink-wash art […]

Developing his first game at the age of 6, Knizia left a job as a boardmember of an international bank in 1997 to pursue game designing full time. Since then, he has been […]
We just got word from Chillingo’s Clickgamer that an Angry Birds [App Store] update is in the works that adds 40 new levels, two new environments, and complete Crystal integration for online leaderboards, achievements, and all the other fun stuff Crystal provides. They’re planning on submitting the update “very soon”, and even released a new […]

Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars [App Store] was quietly released into the App Store this evening. Chinatown Wars for the iPhone seems to lie somewhere in between the DS and PSP versions in regards to graphical quality, but as far as pure GTA gameplay, everything so far seems intact. (Complete with an awful lot of […]
We’re not entirely sure if this release was intentional, or another iTunes Connect fat-finger like Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II Discovery, but Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars was released this evening in several European countries. We will have more details shortly, including a gameplay video. For the time being, here are the screenshots from iTunes: […]
It’s a bit of a late heads-up, but scrolling shooter fans should take advantage of Infinite Dreams’ weekend giveaway of Sky Force [App Store] in celebration of the studio’s iQuarium being in the App Store Top 100 list. Sky Force is a traditional vertical arcade shooter in which you must battle across seven different levels, […]
The iPhone has attracted a notable number of Amiga game ports since the App Store went live. Worms, Pinball Dreams / Fantasies, Krypton Egg, Beneath a Steel Sky — the list goes on. For those unaware, the Amiga was an extremely innovative platform, released in 1985 by Commodore, that saw rather limited success outside of […]
One of our very favorite iPhone games — one that we come back to and actually play “for fun” (perish the thought!) — is Rocketcat Games’ Hook Champ [App Store], which we reviewed back in October. We discussed the game in detail with Rocketcat’s own Kepa Auwae in TouchArcade Podcast #9. He gave us a […]
There’s no doubt that the App Store is absolutely loaded with different physics games, and many with very similar gameplay to Tumbledrop [App Store], but few are anywhere near as cute, colorful, or filled with rainbows for that matter. Gameplay amounts to making your way through the 60 included levels (with more coming soon per […]
1337 Game Design has dropped the price of their fun ball roller Dark Nebula to free for the weekend. We reviewed this game back in October, and aside from the rather short campaign, there was a lot we loved about the game. Dark Nebula is a tilt-controlled ball roller, but one that adopts an action/arcade […]
Japanese publication Famitsu reveals that Namco will be bringing Taiko no Tatsujin to the iPhone and iPod Touch. The game has been called Taiko: Drum Master in the U.S. and is a rhythm/drumming game where players match up beats to on screen icons: Symbols moving horizontally along a timeline show the player what to hit […]
When we took a look at the first Heavy Mach, we thought it was a fun side-scrolling shooter with room for improvement. Nearly a year later, developer IndieAn has released Heavy Mach 2 [App Store], a greatly enhanced sequel that abandons side-scrolling for a top down perspective among other changes and enhancements. Gameplay in Heavy […]
Lately, it’s become quite popular amongst App Store developers to do ports of web-based flash games for the iPhone, and Chrome Wars Arena [App Store], playable here on Kongregate, is a continuation of that trend. Chrome Wars, which is described by developers Jaludo Group B.V. as a turn-based fighting game, has deep roots in the […]
CES 2010 hasn’t been home to many iPhone gaming announcements, though we did have a couple of meetings that will bring some new iPhone gaming news soon. One of the devices we found while wandering the floors was Posimotion’s Helix gaming grip. Steering/gaming grips aren’t really a new concept for the iPhone and iPod Touch. […]
Aside from the Parrot AR.Drone quadricopter, we haven’t come across much noteworthy in the world of iPhone gaming at CES– Everyone is far too busy looking at tablet computers being shown and speculating as to which is likely going to be the closest to Apple’s tablet. That doesn’t mean people at CES aren’t playing iPhone […]
One of the most notable iPhone games in the early days of the App Store was Ethan Nicholas’ iShoot [App Store], a turn-based artillery game reminiscent of Scorched Earth. In January of last year iShoot took the #1 spot in the list of top 100 paid apps (and anything that could dethrone iFart Mobile has […]
It’s no secret that the iPhone is a highly attractive target platform for developers, not only because of the excellent app distribution model that Apple has put in place with the App Store, but also because of the quality and accessibility of its freely-available development tools. They are great tools, indeed, but we wouldn’t go […]
