Farm Frenzy 2 Review

Review Alawar Entertainment, Inc By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 10 months ago
Farm Frenzy 2 Review

Farm Frenzy 2 is the much anticipated and definitely needed sequel to the farm management and strategy series from Alawar Entertainment. Much like the original, it's still a frantic game that requires precise management at higher levels, but new refinements to the artwork and interface make this a much more polished product. Each level presents the player with a specific challenge to complete that requires careful management of your resources to succeed. All of the controls are touch…

Golden Vault Slots Review

Review 616 Digital LLC By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 10 months ago
Golden Vault Slots Review

Golden Vault Slots is yet another addition to Pokie Magic's collection of slot-machine games available for the App Store. But does the energetic opening music and images of golden vaults promise more than it can give? Like all Pokie Magic games the slot machine is driven by touch controls and sports an automatic play button if you're feeling a bit lazy. The special feature mode of the game requires a nimble hand and mind as you attempt to align locks to open the activated bonus vault.…

HEAVY GUNNER 3D Review

Review Com2uS USA, Inc. By Dave Flodine, 14 years, 10 months ago
HEAVY GUNNER 3D Review

Earth is under attack! It's up to your defensive skills behind the mounted gun to stop the alien invasion from taking over. Heavy Gunner 3d is a defense shooter where you must mow down waves upon waves of incoming enemies with a vast selection of upgradable weapons. The controls are a little complex, but they work well. Tilting your iphone moves the camera around your 360 degree viewport. Using two fingers (one from each hand) you control the two guns. Initially it is confusing lookin…

Stair Dismount Universal Review

Review Secret Exit Ltd. By Kym Holmes, 14 years, 10 months ago
Stair Dismount Universal Review

Pushing someone down a flight of stairs is dangerous and not recommended. In the case of Stair Dismount, it's not only acceptable, it's your objective. The more bones you break and injuries you cause, the more points you score. Of course it's only a dummy, so don't try this at home. The controls are fairly straight forward: position an arrow on the dummy as your "push zone" and then click the large button when the meter reaches the strength you want to use. This will send your ragdoll…

Military Madness: Neo Nectaris Review

Review KONAMI By Dave Flodine, 14 years, 10 months ago
Military Madness: Neo Nectaris Review

For those of you who can't get enough of turn based strategy games, one of the originals has been ressurected for the iphone. Military Madness was first released in 1989 and its sequel has been given a facelift. The story is a basic affair of axis vs allies, but with a futuristic vibe. Control is all touch based. To move a unit, you tap on it, tap where on the grid you want it to go, and then tap again to confirm the move. Attacking is similar as you double tap the enemy you wish to a…

Review Gameloft By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 10 months ago
Pocket Chef™ Review

Whether or not French cuisine agrees with you or not, it's not hard to recognize that France is the home of exquisite food. So it's no big surprise that French publisher Gameloft has created their own spin on cooking games with Pocket Chef being the first 3D version to hit the App Store. There are no real surprises when playing each of the cooking mini-games. The gameplay is refined from popular variants like Cooking Mama, requiring players to slice, tap, swirl and drag food to succes…

Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X Review

Review Gameloft By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 11 months ago
Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X Review

There's a danger in porting games from the current generation of consoles to hand-held devices simply because they tend to never capture what made the game so special in the first place. Tom Clancy's HAWX has been brought to the App Store by Gameloft and shatters any doubts about providing an authentic experience on your iPhone. HAWX is a dog-fighting flight simulator that errs more towards arcade gameplay than it does realism. The game's set in a semi-fictional modern technological w…

Zwirn Review

Review luridmorn By Luke Bartley, 14 years, 11 months ago
Zwirn Review

Zwirn is an interesting game to say the least. Though first impressions are somewhat similar to Zen Bound, they are unfortunately only skin deep. Zwirn (German for twine) is a quirky puzzle game where players manipulate a piece of string from its starting point, and thread it around the level so it touches all black dots simultaneously by the time you reach the end. The first four levels are supposed to act as a tutorial, unfortunately they are not of much help. Rather than give you w…

Train Conductor Review

Review THE VOXEL AGENTS PTY. LTD. By Damian Chiappara, 14 years, 11 months ago
Train Conductor Review

Before cars and planes, but after walking, trains were a widely accepted and common means of transport and delivery. But in order for the trains to run smoothly, you need one hell of a conductor to co-ordinate the tracks. Are you up to the challenge? Players are presented with a series of railway tracks and must divert numbered trains to their correct destination by dragging a path on the screen. Players will need to constantly juggle the increasing amount of trains to avoid collision…

Enviro-Bear 2010 Review

Review Captain Games Inc. By Damian Chiappara, 14 years, 11 months ago
Enviro-Bear 2010 Review

If you’ve ever purchased or looked at a game from the App store and thought to yourself ‘Wow, this is pretty weird’, then get ready for what I can only describe as a National Geographic acid trip. Enviro-Bear 2010 puts players in control of a car driving bear as he must drive around the forest, eating fish and berries to fatten up before winter comes. With no explanation beyond that, players are thrown into the deep end and must work out how to drive your bear around…
