Wow. Not often does a developer take such a simple game concept, and polish it to a shiney bacon-grease sheen! Enter Zoneout, the best JezzBall-look-a-like on the App Store. Ok, that doesn’t do it justice. Just read the review! (Bacon not included.)

Side-scrolling shooter fans rejoice! A new game of your genre has made its way to the App Store – Radio Flare. Does it rank among the (in my opinion) enjoyable titles Space Deadbeef and Platypus? Or does it fall into that category of overpriced poorly crafted games that some of us know all to well? Read on.

Finally a Marble Maze type game that doesn’t suck, EDGE, is in the App Store now.
Edge won the Milthon award for Best Mobile Game of 2008 at the Festival du Jeu Video, Paris and is nominated for the Excellence in Gameplay award at the International Mobile Gaming Award competition. It’s clear in your first few moments of EDGE that these accolades are well deserved.
Come with me as we journey to the EDGE, and back.
Developer Mobile 1UP have created an iPhone based homage to the classic Nintendo Game & Watch titles with the release of their GW series of games. Currently available are Helmet, Chef, Parachute, Octopus and Fire. Helmet is free with others retailing for $1.99 on the AppStore.

Apex Designs are bringing their GTA style game ‘Payback’ to iPhone. Originally released in the US for the Gameboy Advance back in 2005. The game was well known for pushing the GBA graphically to it’s limits. Apart from the obvious graphical upgrades, not much is known yet on how the iPhone version of game differs from the GBA version, but it looks likely that it will be a port of the currently available GP2X version. With Car Jack Streets also on it’s way from TAG, 2009 looks like a good year for some serious criminal action on the iPhone. Read on for screens and video (GP2X version). [Read more →]

Konami today released Silent Hill: The escape today (EU only so far!). At it’s core Silent Hill is a tarted up dungeon crawler. Find the key then find the exit, that’s pretty much it. Controls in the game are disappointing. You can tilt the iPhone to control your flash light and gun aiming which is pretty cool, but movement is done by swiping up and down to go forward and back, and swipe left or right to turn.

With it’s great tilt controls, it was only a matter of time before the iPhone received it’s first futuristic hover racer. Looking like a cross between Wipeout and F-Zero, Low Grav Racer put’s you in control of a hover speeder where you must compete against other AI controlled racers across 12 tracks.
Studio Radiolaris have released Radio Flare, a music based side scrolling shooter for iPhone. Using a dual finger control setup, you steer your ship with one finger while targeting the enemy ships with the other. It reminds me of Everyday shooter on the PS3 and PSP, with a similar target system and great music. Check back for a review soon, but in the meantime, read on to watch a video of the game in action… [Read more →]
