Long, long ago, before we had smartphones or apps or even 8-bit gaming consoles, game designer Steve Jackson released Fighting Fantasy, a series of single-player paper RPGs that played something like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, but with more rules. Now, developer Inkle has taken the first of these books and converted it into [...]

Star Command is a game brought about by an early Kicksterter success story that almost turned into a Kicksterter failure. But now, two years and a second funding campaign later, this ambitious space sim has been loosed on the App Store. While Star Command isn’t everything it could be, it’s still a good game with [...]

If we had to think of some titles that have stood the test of time and become synonymous with iPhone gaming, chances are Fruit Ninja and Jetpack Joyride would make the list.

Like retro? Like RPGs? Like simple, challenging games that tempt you into “one more try”? Then you’ve got to try Slayin’, the retro monster killing game from developer Pixel Licker and FDG that hits all the right notes. Slayin’ is a relatively simple game.

| App Name: | Cut the Rope: Time Travel |
| Platforms: | Universal |
| Genre(s): | Physics Puzzle |
| Price: | $0.99 |
| Download | |
I hate reviewing iterative iPhone games. Angry Birds Seasons, Temple Run Oz, Doodle Jump Hop — there’s a real difference between a sequel and a skin, and sometimes it seems almost pointless to review them. So of course Zeptolab had to put out Cut the Rope: Time Travel, a new iteration on their popular Cut the Rope [...]

As Minecraft PE has grown in popularity, the App Store has become home to a number of rip-offs and riffs on the sandbox survival game, each one trying to appeal to the Crafting crowd. Many of these are duds, but Block Fortress from Foursaken manages to tap the Minecraft genre and skillfully blend it with [...]

If you’re an iOS developer who’s about to release something that’s already been done in the App Store, you better hope your product at least looks better than the competition… In the case of Badland from Frogmind, the previous statement very much applies. Badland is a one-button physics game that feels part Tiny Wings and [...]

With the glut of Temple Run clones, Angry Birds clones, retro game ports, and obnoxious freemium titles in the App Store, it’s always a pleasure to discover something out of the ordinary. One such game is Year Walk, the spooky, sometimes frustrating adventure game from Simogo. Like most of you, the concept of the “Year [...]

Sega’s development studio Hardlight, which did an impressively solid job on last year’s Sonic Jump, has once again turned Sega’s most successful franchise character into a popular mobile genre game. This time it’s Sonic Dash, a speedy, ring-infused take on Temple Run. Like Jump before it, Sonic Dash is a solid and playable effort that [...]

Last week, it seemed like all the tech website “in the know” were raving about Haze, the new minimalist iPhone app that beautifully displays current and trending weather conditions. So, of course, I had to check it out for myself. What I found was, indeed, a beautiful app, albeit one that prefers to emphasize form even at [...]
