Super Shock Football Review

Super Shock Football Review

Super Shock Football is a throwback to the old electric football machines that had tiny players moving around a vibrating football field. Players must strategize and use different plays, set up team positions and hope that they manage to get a touchdown as all player movement is randomised to mimic the old vibrating game machines. Players are limited in regards to the amount of control they have over their team but as mentioned, plays and tactics can be selected and team members can b…

Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City Review

Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City Review

Virtual Villagers 3 by Last Day of Work is the latest installment of the series that combines puzzles with a fascinating voyeuristic style of gameplay that takes The Sims and gives it a Survivor TV series spin. A lot has gone in to transferring this game to the iPhone from the PC and Mac, but something was lost in translation during the process. The main set of controls only require you to drag and drop villagers between destinations, however this can be quite difficult as the menus,…

Red Conquest! (Episodes 1 & 2!) Review

Red Conquest! (Episodes 1 & 2!) Review

Cat in a Box Games is the other name for iPhone game creator John Kooistra and Red Conquest! is the latest installment in a series of games involving the continuing war of Red and Blue. Where previous installments covered arcade shooters from different angles, Red Conquest is a pure real time strategy (RTS) and a treat to play. There's a fairly steep learning curve for most casual players in most RTSs and the somewhat complex set of controls for Red Conquest keep that curve relatively…

The Settlers Review

Review Gameloft By Andrew Nesvadba, 15 years, 1 month ago
The Settlers Review

It would be easier to describe The Settlers for classic gamers by saying that this iPhone app is The Settlers IV and hasn't been sullied by the withering touch of Ubisoft. That's a good thing for everyone else because The Settlers by Gameloft represents the best this franchise ever had. Ostensibly being a real time strategy, the interface consists mostly of clicks and drags to select units and assign them targets - either to attack, defend or work. The main goal of The Settlers is to…

Rally Master Pro 3D (US) Review

Review FISHLABS By Andrew Nesvadba, 15 years, 2 months ago
Rally Master Pro 3D (US) Review

Sometimes big things really do come in small packages. It's a terrible cliche, but Rally Master Pro 3D by Fishlabs proves that you can make a game that looks good, plays good and most importantly of all is great fun. It does this without being so large an app that it takes half of your spare time to load, so you'll be in the thick of it before you know it. Rally Master takes a fairly standard approach to racers on the iPhone by utilizing an automatic accelerator and tilt-based steerin…

Undead Attack! Pinball Review

Review Lucas Mendes Menge By Damian Chiappara, 15 years, 3 months ago
Undead Attack! Pinball Review

Undead Attack! Pinball is a pretty self explanatory title; it’s a pinball game with a zombie theme. But players have more than just a highscore to worry about, as they must also make sure that they protect a gate at the bottom of the screen against the increasing number of advancing zombies. Players will need to use the game ball itself to defeat the advancing zombies and defend the gate from being destroyed. Players launch their ball by dragging down the slider and releasing an…

Aves Review

Review Ghost LLC By Damian Chiappara, 15 years, 3 months 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…

Aera Review

Review iChromo By Damian Chiappara, 15 years, 3 months ago
Aera Review

Aera is a game that puts player into the cockpit of a small airplane as you progress through a number of levels. There isn’t much on offer in the way of story but the game does feature an impressive number of extra modes - such as races, token collection and dog fights with other planes. The game is a temperamental beast when it comes to the control scheme. You will either have to invest a lot of time into learning how to use the tilt controls properly or put up with the frustra…
