Knight’s Rush Review: Get Medieval with this Gory Button Masher
It’s always a treat when a developer manages to create worlds of great depth and excitement on the iPhone’s smallish screen. I’m talking about vivid landscapes, exciting situations, and enough variety that makes you want to come back. Knight’s Rush from Chillingo is one of those games. Set in some sort of medieval alternate reality, [...]
Dodonpachi Resurrection Review: Bullet Hell!
Upon playing Japanese developer Cave’s newest iOS offering, Dodonpachi Resurrection, my reaction was basically: oh, so THIS is why they call it “bullet hell!”
In fact, forget bullets here. Bullets? We don’t need no stinkin’ bullets … when we have missiles and twirling lasers and glorious bombs and insane hyper beams exploding into screens full of [...]
Epic Citadel Review: Gorgeous Preview Of What’s To Come
Epic games didn’t wasn’t any time in following up on their incredible demonstration at yesterday’s Apple keynote. Almost immediately, Epic Citadel became available in the App Store. Unlike a typical demo that gives a teaser sample of some gameplay, Epic Citadel survives on visuals alone. It is, hands down, the most beautiful thing we’ve seen [...]
Spider-Man: Total Mayhem Review: Awesomesauce
The sometimes maligned but never disputed king of iPhone console-quality games, Gameloft, has just released their take on the web-headed wall-crawler Spider-Man, with Spider-Man: Total Mayhem. This rock-em, sock-em action game is an awesome take on the source material and one of the best Gameloft titles to date.
In Spider-Man: Total Mayhem, you play through a [...]
Monster Dash Review: Another Gem from Halfbrick Studios
I’ve spent enough time referencing Fruit Ninja in previous reviews, so suffice it to say that Monster Dash from Halfbrick Studios has big shoes to fill. The developers have cemented themselves as masters of addictive gameplay, and luckily this new title continues that theme. What’s interesting is that they didn’t choose to create another entirely [...]
Little Things for iPad Review: A Pleasant, Visual Treat
Apple has effectively marketed the iPad as a family-oriented device, designed to be a media hub anyone can use to get news, music, and video. Surprisingly, we’ve found that an impressive percentage of users consider it a gaming device. I expect that games like Little Things are responsible for this statistic. Not only is it [...]
Chopper 2 Review: Grand Gimmick
Majic Jungle Software and David Frampton go for the “wow factor” with Chopper 2, an iPhone and iPad compatible game that features a truly innovative use of Bluetooth to turn one into the control pad for the other. It’s a phenomenal technical achievement, one that elevates a good game to nearly must-try status for those [...]
Real Racing HD Review: Full Throttle
Real Racing HD is, in many ways, the superior racing game on the iPad. Other racing games exist, and some of them are awesome experiences; but every one of them is held to the standard that Firemint established when the iPad launched with this title in April. And with good reason, because Real Racing HD [...]
The Incident Review: Climbing High
You are a mild-mannered man, just trying to hail a taxi cab. And suddenly, one appears … right above you, plummeting to the ground. You dodge the falling car, but it’s followed by a parade of endless projectiles: furniture, vehicles, signs, and even precious art. What’s going on? And why is someone trying to crush [...]
Let’s Create! Pottery HD Review: Get Artistic in a whole new way
The iPad is pretty great for drawing/painting applications. Artists have created stunning portraits using nothing but its expansive touch screen. So we shouldn’t be surprised that the iPad is perfectly suited for other artistic endeavors. Let’s Create! Pottery HD gets everything right beginning with the unique start up screen, and all the way until you [...]
