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.)

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.

Veiled Games has been mentioned in almost every one of our podcasts for their fantastic blog, which candidly reveals and comments on iPhone games, from conception to release on the App store and beyond. So how does their own game fare in this race that is iPhone Gaming?

I’m not sure where the genre originated, but games like Zuma and PuzzleLoop have always held a special place in my gaming heart. The fast-paced nature of these games has always one-upped most other match-the-color puzzle games. Does Blackbeard’s Assault one-up the competition?

Allow me to begin by saying that there has certainly been a lot of hype surrounding Gameloft lately. There have been Brothers in Arms, Ferrari GT, Asphalt 4, and countless other hit titles in only a few months. So far, it would not be ridiculous to say that all of there titles are gems, and although sometimes a little pricey (by App Store standards) can provide a gamer with hours of enjoyment. However, is Gameloft’s newest title over-hyped? Is there truth to some of its early, stellar reviews? Is it worth the 80-something megabytes? Read on to find out. [Read more →]

Minesweeper. For many, it’s one of the first games you ever became addicted to. To others, it’s the game your mom is addicted to (and the only thing she knows how to work on her computer). Mines in Space is Minesweeper… except about 10x cooler, with four sides of awesome.

NGMOCO’s Rolando is one of the most hyped games for the iPhone. The developer announced it way back and has teased us with screenshots and videos of the game ever since. Well it’s here, so is it worth the hype?

Every once and a while there’s an independent game that really shines despite pre-play impressions. Outer Space is that game. Don’t mind if what you first assumed seemed less than impressive. It’s a fun, varied, and extremely challenging game for $5.99. But is it worth that price?
The much anticipated Dropship is here. You play a space pilot who’s mission it is to retrieve your stranded friends and also cargo pods. All the while navigating perilous walls and caverns, and avoiding the enemy gun installations out to destroy you. [Read more →]
Originally a Macintosh game by Squashy software. Platypus has been ported over to the iPhone by bitrabbit and published by Astraware. The game is a classic style side-scrolling shooter, but with a difference, for everything you see is made of clay! Using a technique know as Claymation – you’ve all seen Wallace & Grommit right? - the ships, bullets, explosions and backgrounds are all built and animated out of plasticine. It brings a real tactile three dimensional feel to an otherwise 2D genre. [Read more →]
