The Jim and Frank Mysteries – The Blood River Files Review
'The Jim and Frank Mysteries - The Blood River Files' is one of Chillingo's latest releases and draws an easy comparison to the Professor Layton series on the Nintendo DS. You follow the adventures of Jim and Frank as they take part in a puzzle-filled mystery spurred on by Jim's Grandfather. The game's basic controls are varied, with different gestures being required for each puzzle you encounter. While adventuring you can take part in a small hidden object game to earn Eureka points…

Super Laser: The Alien Fighter Review
EpicForce, the developers behind 'Super Laser: The Alien Fighter' compare their new shoot'em-up to the classic days of Arcade titles that would have punters popping quarters in, one after the other, just to master them. It shouldn't come as a surprise, but this is hardly hyperbole considering that this comes from the same team that developed 'iFighter', a real high water mark for SHMUPs on the AppStore. Players can take their pick of three basic control styles, maneuvering their ships…

Xenome Episode 1 Review
If you're after the 'next best thing' then here it is; Xenome Episode 1 by Nine Pound Studios is simply stunning in so many ways that it begs the question of how you can manage to follow up after something this epic? Your adventurer in this open-world RPG will stroll, teleport and fight his way around the more than generously sized '5 square mile' desert landscape as you try unravel the mystery of why you're being so hotly pursued by mercenaries and mutants alike.

Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge Review
Waiting a year for the updated sequel to the famous Monkey Island series was no picnic, especially when tidbits and teasers kept trickling out to tantalize their taste-buds, but now the classic Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge is available across almost all major platforms and more importantly your iPhone. In this sequel you continue your adventure as Pirate wanna-be Guybrush Threepwood as he searches for the lost treasure of Big Woop. A lot of improvements have taken place in contr…

PREDATORS™ Review
Movie-to-game tie-ins have had a spotted history and often the end result is a rather half-baked title that feels ok, but never really gets to shine. So it's refreshing to not only have PREDATORS for iDevices before its movie comes out, but more importantly this latest release from Chillingo manages to stand on its own feet as an excellent action title. PREDATORS plays like a fine-tuned beat'em-up set in two relatively large areas where you have to complete various tasks to prove your…

LandFormer Review
Elegant, thought provoking playground-style puzzle games really get my brain to light up like a Christmas Tree and not since Path Pix have I felt so excited about a game like LandFormer by Streaming Colour Studios. In this puzzler, players will need to use a limited set of tools to raise and lower the landscape in a 5x5 grid to return the world back to a pristine flat plain. There are several restrictions that help to limit the complexity with only six tools in total, each with their…

Juggle! Review
It's been shown time and again, but sometimes the simplest of ideas can be the most powerful. Juggle! by Denki has stripped back the old brick-and-paddle gameplay (think Arcanoid) to it's basic level, bouncing objects - often many at a time - off a tiny moveable paddle. Juggle! is played in a vertical orientation, with a relatively small paddle that quickly moves across the bottom of the screen at the lightest touch. At first this feels excessive and awkward, but additional balls cont…

Trainyard Review
Trainyard by Matt Rix is the sort of gem of a title that would have passed me by if it wasn't for a keen-eyed subscriber. So first things first - this is a shout out to all of our readers and subscribers, thanks for all of your support! Now for those after a great new puzzle title, look no further as Trainyard is almost as good as it gets. Your goal is to ensure that all of your colored trains end up in the correct station. Things quickly start to get more complicated as multiple trai…

Pix'n Love Rush Review
Retro-appeal has continued to remain in vogue for some time now and Pix'n Love Rush by Bulkypix hopes to cash in on your collection of platforming tropes while exploring some of gaming's more 'unique' visual styles from the last three decades. Players are thrown in to a world with very simple rules, with bonuses slowly adding to your combo meter, while any mistake made will slash you down a combo level. This sounds like a harsh deal, however even moderately skilled gamers who have pla…

Super QuickHook Review
Fans of Rocketcat Games will hardly need an introduction to 'Super QuickHook', the true sequel to their immensely popular dungeon-swinging platform title 'Hook Champ', however many small gameplay changes have resulted in this new title feeling more streamlined and remains as utterly addictive as the first title. The basic controls have been left relatively untouched, with players using taps to aim and fire whip-like hooks to speedily swing through the various environments. Rocket Boot…

Rocket Racing League Review
Think of Rocket Racing League for the iPhone as a test-bed that aims to show just what the near future could hold as sci-fi is made real thanks to Rocket Racing. Despite hiccups in getting the real Rocket Racing League off the ground, you'll have the opportunity to fly a modern Mark-III and futuristic Mark-V X-Racer as you participate in this virtual competition. You'll have the option of choosing between tilt or analogue controls for maneuvering your X-Racer, but both will take consi…

Pro Zombie Soccer Review
The development and release of Pro Zombie Soccer is almost a perfect storm of ideas, combining the still (amazingly) strong zombie market with the increasingly prominent football (soccer) crowd. It sounds like a marketing wet-dream, but it's hard to fault Chillingo's latest release as it begs you to sit down and finish this immensely fun and amusing title without a single break. You'll need to get your reflexes and rebound skills tuned up in order to crush the almost unstoppable wave…

PrincessFury Review
You're a tiny, angry, purple-haired princess and you have a big sword. A VERY big sword. An evil overlord has invaded your land and that doesn't sit well with you. In Princess Fury by MoStar you'll get to blitz your way through hundreds of enemies with powerful magical attacks and your trusty army of knights by your side. Getting started couldn't be easier as the game's earlier tutorial levels ease you in to the mechanics of Princess Fury. A virtual stick allows you to move your Princ…

Babo Crash HD Review
Madballs... they were a true product of the mid-80's with a signature 'gross' factor common to toys marketed to boys and the inevitable tie-in to modern media resulting in a TV series, a video-game and even comics. Thanks to a modern revival of the products a successful 3D shooter was developed for the Xbox 360 and instead of dropping a scaled down version on to the App Store, developer Playbrains have tried their hands at a three-match instead. To match the energetic and spectacular…

Carcassonne Review
The Coding Monkeys have done an excellent job of transforming the sensational board-game title of Carcassonne to the iPhone. That's jumping the gun on the review, but if you're already a fan of the addictive board-game published by Hans im Glück then that should be all you really need to hear. For everyone else, this is an opportunity you just can't miss. Like many board-games, the space requirements can become utterly daunting to deal with, especially when confronted with a game…
