Overall Rating: 4 / 5

It's been a while since I played a good shooter game and 'Earth Defender' has done a good job to entertain me. It's true that sometimes the best defence is a good offence and this game shows off the saying in a brilliant way. In this game you play by defending earth from hordes of aliens by placing bombs. It isn't everyday that aliens attack earth so here is a great time to have some fun.  (more...)

Until now, SRPG's - or Strategy RPG's - have been quite rare if not completely nonexistant on the App Store. There have been many fantastic SRPG's for consoles, like the Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics series, and with the release of The War of Eustrath, iPhone gamers can now experience the same combination of Turn Based Strategy and RPG games in one awesome package.

It seems that the ‘zombie’ genre has been ongoing for the iPhone, iPod Touch & iPad following the huge success of Plants vs. Zombies by Popcap Games and Zombieville USA by Mika Mobile. However, this platform of gaming has always had its ups & downs with game after game offering the same controls and obvious objectives.

However, just recently a new app has made its way into the AppStore going by the name of Zombie Escape and has seen to offer more than the current era of ‘zombie games’. Developed Chillingo, who are also responsible for titles such as Minigore and iDracula, the objective is to help survivors of a zombie holocaust find their way to safety by leading them to extraction helicopters! Along the way, you will have to blow zombies to bits in order to create a path! As you complete mission after mission, you unlock weapons and maps. (more...)

Skiing is a dangerous sport. I mean, we see it on TV and it looks pretty cool, but actually doing it is (as always) a lot more difficult. I’ve never done it myself, but I can safely assume that moving at highspeed in the snow while dodging stuff can be pretty risky; so just imagine how it’d be if you couldn’t see the path ahead of you. Well, that’s the scenario Solipskier’s character faces; will it be a fun trip? Well, read on.

Overall Rating: 4 / 5

I can see why we can feel fascinated with interacting with virtual things. When I was a little kid I loved this one computer which screen acted as a mouse, I believe a very primitive version of a touch screen. Nowadays, with a better version of it, we really can interact with stuff in screen, touching it, dragging it, squishing it, and that’s exactly what you do in MagniFusion. MagniFusion is a simple merging game, in which you add 2 balls of the same size and color to create one of the same color but in a bigger size. (more...)

Overall Rating: 3 / 5

If you were a gamer back when controllers had cables, or well, even if you have lots of electronics connected close to each other, you’ve experience it: the tangling. No matter how tidy you are, somehow, some cables will end up tangled. And the bigger the mess, the more challenging it will be to untangle them, so it is not too far-fetched to see the act of untangling things becoming a game. (more...)

Rolling balls have been on the AppStore since the beginning. Be it in the form of labyrinth, or any other game that requires you to roll stuff to the right place, it’s been there for a while. So it is a nice breeze of fresh air to see a new spin on the same idea take place. Is it a good one? Well, read on. Aerox is a game that puts you in a 3D world in control of a very futuristic looking ball. Your objective is simple: reach the pillar of light at the end of the level by any means possible. (more...)

Name: Matchsticks

Overall Rating: 3 / 5

They always tell us to not play with fire. But that’s fire, nobody said anything about matchsticks; that being said, most of us can remember that *funny* uncle that tried to trick us and challenge us while playing with matchsticks whenever we were truly bored. For those that never had that uncle, they created this app. Matchsticks is no different than that ages old game, where someone would challenge you to change a set of matchsticks into something different, moving only a limited number of them.

The ever so popular Hero of Sparta II was released not too long ago and received great feedback from the whole of the world. The second installation of the Hero of Sparta series continues the story of Argos, where he finally returns to the shores of his homelands. Now the popular title has once again revved up its already impressive graphics to play the host of a even more spectacular HD version of the game for your big screen-iPad. The game should play exactly the same way as the iPhone version, one of the only huge differences being the customizable controls.   Check out our review here if you're not sure whether or not to buy Gameloft's interpretation of God of War for iPad.  It's currently available in a few countries, and should hit your store when you reach August 19th.
