Pirate's Treasure Review
It's hard to think that something like Minigore could be made more addictive, but combining dual-stick shooter gameplay with challenge based quests is certainly a good start. Pirate's Treasure by Chillingo follows the fate of a thick-skulled ruffian as he attempts to reclaim treasure that was stolen from him and regain his fierce fighting skills. At first the game gives you a taster of what it's like to be at full power, pitting you against Death himself and a horde of undead creature…

Assault Squadron Review
Developer 'The Binary Mill' aren't kidding when they say they're out to redefine bullet-hell shooters for the App Store with their latest release 'Assault Squadron'. It won't take long till all of your continues melt away, but that won't stop shmup fans from diving right back in. Assault Squadron gives players several options for controlling their fighters, allowing you to choose between two touch options, a virtual stick and even tilt based movement. The tilt-precision is responsive,…

Dominion HD iPad Review
One of the iPad's greatest successes has been opening up the potential for table-top games to go digital, making it easy for multiple players to play on a tabletop or pass around. Dominion HD is Chillingo's latest iPad game and a direct adaption of the classic strategic board game Risk. All of the game's controls are menu driven and features a comprehensive tutorial not only to teach you the controls but also run you through your first match as you learn the game's rules. Dominion is…

Vampire Origins RELOADED Review
Chillingo's latest action game is an interesting experiment in controls for the action genre. Vampire Origins takes classic Resident Evil style gameplay and twists it with comic-book inspired storytelling producing a unique blend of dark influences. But lets get things clear, we're not talking about sparkly vampires here - no, these are the Nosferatu-inspired horde of undead and assorted baddies. A basic analogue and touch-to-fire controls form the basic controls for movement, but for…

Mission: Deep Sea Review
Thanks to some advanced technology in the world of Mission: Deep Sea by Chillingo, players are invited to take virtual control of sea turtles to help save humanity and the environment. Of course this is just a game, but beyond the overt environmentalism there's not as much depth to what's on offer here. One of the major features of Deep Sea is the gesture controls used to manipulate your sea turtle. Swipes replicate the movement of the front flippers and act like paddles to turn aroun…

In each of the game's levels you must defend the city from a plague of attacks ranging from basic fires to insect in…

Radio Flare REDUX Review
The rhythm action genre is a rare one. Aside from Rez not many games have done it well. Radio Flare Redux (RFR) is here to change all that with some good ol fashioned shoot'em up action. Piloting your ship and making waste of all in your path is standard for a shmup but doing it all to the beat of some high quality music makes this quite the experience. RFR uses a duel finger control scheme. Your left thumb controls your ship, while your right locks onto enemies. You can lock onto mul…

Speed Forge Extreme Review
Futuristic racing games are a special breed. The idea is that in the future, racing will be much faster and more dangerous than it is today. Speed Forge Extreme is here to add to the genre. In the year 2142, Mars has been colonized and the inhabitants need a form of entertainment. Enter high speed combat racing! There are a couple choices of control scheme here. The default is using tilt steering, with touch breaking and weapons. Alternatively you can use a virtual steering wheel, and…

Point and click adventure games are making a resurgence on the iphone. In this vein, Chillingo have ported over from the PC part one of a three part adventure titled Dracula: The Path of the Dragon.

Guerrilla Bob Review
Guerrilla Bob is a fast paced twin stick shooter than sets up players for the same level of explosions and brainless carnage you’d expect from a Michael Bay film. Players take control of wise-cracking, moustache toting badass Guerrilla Bob as he makes his way on a long strewn trail of revenge, through countless enemy soldiers and empty machine gun shells. Players use the two on screen joysticks to control Bob’s movement and direction of fire, much like Minigore. In each le…

SEED 1 - RISE OF DARKNESS Review

Players control their adventurer by using the onscreen D-pad to move and the action button to attack, talk to people and…

Defender Chronicles - Legend of The Desert King Review
Just when you thought all Tower Defence games were the same, along comes Defender Chronicles to smack you upside the head with a dead goblin. Yes, the core gameplay is the same but certain changes have been made to break the repetitive nature of most TD games. Instead of placing towers ‘willy nilly’ on the map, players must co-ordinate towers along the specific build zones to make the most effective army possible. The upgrade and placement system is very straightforward as…

Aztec Quest Review
Aztec Quest is a 3D puzzle game that not only tests player's problem solving abilities in new and exciting ways but also pushes the barriers of creativeness to its limits by featuring a neat full level editor which allows players to customise and share their own maps online so other players can download and try them out. The aim of the game is for players to construct a pathway using a given set of gadgets that will allow the ball to drop and roll from the totem pole to the diamond wi…

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…

Ravensword: The Fallen King Review
Many have tried before, but Chillingo has brought traditional Western 3D RPGs to the iPhone in a big way with Ravensword: The Fallen King. Ravensword combines traditional RPG elements with and a story focused gameplay system that tries to live up to games like The Witcher making it a stand out addition to iTunes and well worth checking out. At first the controls can feel a bit confusing as they combine on screen elements with on screen dragging to look around and select items or peopl…
