We heard about this game a few months back whilst reading up on our old 8 bit hero ‘Dizzy’. Dizzy was an egg who had numerous adventures in the days of the spectrum and Amiga. I believe his last outing was on the Sega Megadrive before the Oliver Twins and Codemasters had a falling out […]
The original Predator movie back in 1987 sparked a huge cult following and a subsequent movie and various crossovers with Aliens. Acclaimed producer Robert Rodriguez is set to rekindle that flame on the big-screen with a stand-alone movie, Predators, with Chillingo and Angry Mob Games stepping up for the mandatory small-screen game tie-in. Like […]

Clickgamer’s Angry Birds [99¢ / Free] has been one of my favorite games since it was first launched in December of last year. We thought the game was great in our review, and since then, Angry Birds has only gotten better with the surprising amount of extra content that has been added to the game […]

Much like Eliminate and TouchPets Dogs, ngmoco’s We Rule launched first in Canada this afternoon.

They haven’t said […]

We heard recently about iPhone game Super Ramen BROTHers, which was put together in a single day, and it seems this new trend for speed coding has now spread to Sweden where Dogtown Studios set itself the challenge of creating a game in three days. That game, Project 72, has just been submitted to Apple […]
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 […]
When Driver [App Store] was originally released for the Playstation and PC way back in 1999, it was heralded by critics as a genuinely fun, challenging racing game. With the intense cop-chases, gang-centric story, and open-world exploration, Driver could be most easily described as “Grand Theft Auto without the on-foot parts.” Flash forward to 2009, […]
There are plenty of strange games on the App Store, but I don’t think I’ve come across many games – or titles – like Bight Games’s Fleeced! – Shear Terror. Its gameplay is a mixture of time and resource management, castle defence, and a dash of first person shooter, all wrapped up in stylised colourful […]

This version of Parachute Panic really brings the goods! While we felt that the game was overly difficult originally, we felt that the added easy mode in version 1.1 was too easy to be any fun while the main game remained unchanged. Luckily, some tinkering with the original formula led the crew over at FDG […]
We’re sure there are plenty of ways the line-drawing genre can expand in future. The latest game – 33rd Division – brings an interesting twist into play. It’s set in WWII, but your role is non-aggressive, as you have to escort Allied soldiers through various enemy patrols and defensive positions to safety. There are three […]
Bryan Mitchell’s Geared is an excellent puzzle game that revolves around a very simple gameplay mechanic: Arranging gears on screen to make a working set of gears that connects from the yellow gear to the blue gear(s). Geared starts simple and quickly progresses to levels that require pixel perfect accuracy to complete. We greatly enjoyed […]
Jonathan Lanis has recently contributed a simple and fun bit of 3D obstacle-dodging tunnel madness to the App Store in the form of Boost 3D Boost 3D is about tunnels, and it’s a rather simple affair.
