Daisy Mae's Alien Buffet Review

Daisy Mae's Alien Buffet Review

Twin stick shooters are becoming a popular genre in the appstore, but it takes something special to stand out from the crowd. IUGO have thrown out Daisy Mae's Alien Buffet onto the iphone, which is a solid entry into the genre with a grindhouse feel, fun weapons, and rapidly increating difficulty. The standard twin stick controls are only the default for Daisy Mae. Two other controls schemes are available, one replacing the shooting stick with a button, and for those looking for an ea…

Tehra Dark Warrior Review

Review StormBASIC Games By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 7 months ago
Tehra Dark Warrior Review

The action adventure hack and slash has been tried many times already for the touch device and has been received with mixed results. While some echo the gameplay of games from home consoles, others have tried their own route to succeeding on a mobile platform. Tehra Dark Warrior by Stormbasic is a sometimes surprising, but ultimately average hack and slasher that doesn't quite manage to excite. Tehra uses a virtual analogue stick with buttons for the attack, block and magic controls.…

Review Naughty Bits By Luke Bartley, 14 years, 8 months ago
Kim Rhode's Outdoor Shooting Review

Guardian Soul Review

Review SK planet By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 9 months ago
Guardian Soul Review

Guardian Soul by Nate Games is easily one of the strongest competitors against other Eastern RPGs on the iPhone and almost directly competes against leading games like Zenonia. Guardian Soul is an Eastern take on the Action RPG genre and adds "collecting" to the mix as you discover new "guardians" to transform in to and defeat your enemies. In order to accommodate the normal interface and its virtual buttons the menus and game in general are scaled down immensely and will require some…

Smashed (Full) Review

Smashed is a physics based game where players must demolish large structures and towers of crates as effectively as possible to rack up their highscore. The game also boasts an interesting story for players to work through, which is quite unusual for a physics game but certainly a welcomed addition.

Aves Review

Review Ghost LLC By Damian Chiappara, 15 years ago
Aves Review

Aves is a surreal first person shooter in which players must shoot majestic looking birds with a bow and arrow. Not in a comical way, like you’re a drunk redneck hunter, but atop the clouds with an enchanted looking bow and arrow. In each level, players must kill a certain amount of birds in under a certain time limit. Players aren’t given a reason as to why they are killing these birds, leaving the game feeling a little too vague. Players tilt the iPhone to turn and look…
