Real Tennis Review

Review Gameloft By Damian Chiappara, 14 years, 12 months ago
Real Tennis Review

Real Tennis 2009 is, as you’d guess from the title, a tennis game from developer Gameloft. However this is one of their more original titles as there is no one specific game they have cloned but more of the genre as a whole. Players jump onto the court and play a number of different modes in friendly competition. Movement is controlled by using the onscreen d-pad and you hit the ball by using the swing button. Players serve the ball by tilting the iPhone to the area you want to…

Gallop for Gold Slots Review

Review 616 Digital LLC By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 12 months ago
Gallop for Gold Slots Review

Gallop for Gold Slots by Pokie Magic is probably one of the best slot machine games the company has brought out for the iPhone, and while that may not be saying much, it's can be a genuinely fun game to enjoy. What makes this game stand out is the new and amazingly fun Horse Racing feature. Getting a golden horse on the first and last reel triggers the game mode and switches screens allowing you to watch your horse race against other competitors in over 48 different cups. Winnings fro…

Cell War Review

Cell War Review

Cell War is a horizontal shooter much like R-Type and other arcade shooter games. Your goal is to pilot the nano machine and stop the spread of infectious diseases and viruses that could wipe out mankind.

Tilteroids Review

Review JackCraft By Andrew Nesvadba, 15 years ago
Tilteroids Review

You'd be forgiven for thinking that Tilteroids by JackCraft isn't the most original name for a game that involves TILTing the iPhone to shoot asteROIDS, but when a game does both of these things so well it's hard to call it anything else. As you'd expect tilting performs the main duty of controlling your craft around the screen maneuvering your ship and at the same time aiming your weapon. Tilting to the sides smoothly rotates your shots left and right while moving side-to-side; tilti…

Hip Hop All Star Review

Review iwin, Inc. By Kelly Mitchell, 15 years ago
Hip Hop All Star Review

Slap down the beat, turn up the music and scratch your way to DJ-Stardom with Hip Hop All Star. Starting off as an amateur DJ, the player must scratch and cut their way through each level battling other rival DJs on the way to fulfil their hopes of becoming the next DJ superstar. The controls are very suitable for this style of game. Players must tap their finger on the correct notes as the record spins and hold their finger down on the screen for long notes. Although this sounds like…

DaVinci's Secret Machines Review

DaVinci's Secret Machines Review

Davinci's Secret Machines by Aboveground Systems is another take on the physics sim puzzle set of games already in abundance on the App Store. It's a fairly simple offering for the genre, but one that still challenges players to think laterally to solve the myriad of puzzles on offer. Puzzles in physics simulators tend to be challenging thanks to the way complex machines end up becoming chaotic and prone to wild results from tiny changes. Davinci's Secrets is no big improvement here a…

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…
