Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for iOS is coming to the US App Store
Capcom’s Monster Hunter series has always been popular in Japan, but has struggled to make the transition to western markets. Now, having been out in its home territory for some time, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite for iOS is making its way to to other markets. Monster Hunter is an apt title for a series that has you hunt, trap, and kill monsters for the valuable materials they offer. These can then be crafted to form more powerful equipment in order to hunt larger creatures. The satisfying feedback loop this provides is further enhanced by the multiplayer aspect, in which hunting larger game requires you to work as a team - all fulfilling different roles in the hunt.

Tony Hawk's Shred Session is coming to iOS this summer
Activision’s Tony Hawk series defined skating games for most of the 2000s. Now, over a decade later, the company is bringing a new instalment of the series to the iPhone and iPad in the form of Tony Hawk's Shred Session, a free-to-play lane-based autorunner. As a lane-based endless game, Tony Hawk's Shred Session looks pretty standard. Swiping left or right shifts your skater between lanes to collect coins and avoid obstacles. Where Shred Session changes things up is its trick system. Ramps and rails in your path allow you to perform all manner of grinds and jumps to earn more cash, and generally look cool. The game will feature two game modes: Shred Sessions and Survival. Shred Ses…
Harmonix announces music-powered auto-runner Record Run
Rock Band developer Harmonix has announced its new free-to-play runner, Record Run, is expected to hit iOS in May. Revealed at PAX East, Record Run appears at first glance to be a pretty standard runner. Where the game differs from other runners on the App Store is that you can import your own music to generate levels, with the song's beat dictating the pace. Once you've completed a level you can share your highscore with the world, and give other players the chance to purchase and download the song to challenge your leaderboard dominance. In his PAX East panel, Harmonix’s studio head Alex Rigopulos said that Record Run is just one of several “very different" mobile gam…
Dual Survivor Review
Playing Dual Survivor is the gaming equivalent of being punched in the stomach by someone who claims to be your friend. And, like the assualted party in that metaphor, it will leave you wondering if you somehow deserved it. But, even as your find yourself asking the question, you will realise that it's really the game which is to blame. This oddly schizophrenic sensation is deliberate. The game demands an equal split of your mental energies. You have to navigate two seperate…
Watch The Video ReviewWakeapp ! is an iOS alarm clock app with customisable themes, unique video alarms, and more [Sponsored]
Apple may have originally designed its iPhone to be a mobile communication device, but - thanks to the App Store - it’s now a multifunctional gadget that you can use as a TV remote, a fitness tracker, and even an alarm clock. The iPhone comes with a pre-installed app called Clock, which features a pretty basic alarm clock that will wake you up in the morning. Nothing more, nothing less. If you’re looking for an alarm clock app with a few more features, however, you’ll need to visit Apple’s digital app emporium and download something like Lemondo Entertainment’s Wakeapp !, which is available for £1.49 / $1.99. Wakeapp ! has been designed from the groun…
Superb puzzle sequel The Room Two is finally coming to iPhone this Thursday
Fireproof Games's puzzle hit The Room Two arrived on the iPad a little over a month ago. However, starting this Thursday, iPhone owners will also be able to unlock the game's mechanical mysteries, when the iPhone version of The Room Two appears on the App Store. Like its predecessor, The Room Two bowled us over when it came to the iPad last December, thanks to its atmospheric visuals, creepy audio, and diverse puzzles. However, while the eerie sequel retains the weathered, spooky environments that were a trademark of the original game, the game's puzzle-box based conundrums operate on a notably grander scale. How grand, you ask? Check out the glowing video review below for the a…

If you're a massive fan of strategy titles and you download tower defence games from the App Store on a regular basis, there's a very good chance that you're already more than familiar with the Toy Defense series. More than 15 million gamers from around the world have played at least one of the franchise's instalments, after all. Anyway. Melesta Games have recently released a third entry in the popular series, and it represents a slight deviation from its two predecessors. Unlike Toy Defense and Toy Defense 2, which feature battles from World War I and World War II, respectively, Toy Defense 3: Fantasy is set in a magical 10th-century fantasy kingdom that's filled to the brim with pesky…
Office Hero is a tower defence title with movable towers and loads of action [Sponsored]
If you've been an iOS gamer for more than a few months, you'll have played a tower defence title. The App Store is full of them, after all. Office Hero, from Keyloft, is one such tower defence title. In Office Hero, you have to help a hard-working businessman called Mike protect his office from the attacks of increasingly nasty and competitive companies who want to see him fail.

Unlike in most tower defence titles, you can move every single tower in Office Hero freely and without penalty. This adds…
Enter the fairy tale Dream world and save it from destruction in hidden object title Dream: Hidden Adventure [Sponsored]
If you're familiar with Apple's App Store, you'll already be more than aware that it's chock-full of similar-sounding hidden object titles. For those of you who are unfamiliar with hidden object games, by the way, let me explain. You have to spot specific items in crowded scenes that are usually jam-packed with distracting elements, such as people or other items. Dream: Hidden Adventure, which was released worldwide back in October by developer Komar Games, is no different. However, publisher Renatus Media believe their involved plot and story-driven gameplay set Dream: Hidden Adventure apart from the rest of the crowded pack. It's this emphasis on story, in fact, of which publisher R…

Sponsored Feature: Visit a sprawling fantasy world in Digital Cloud Dragon Bane Elite
Dragons aren't exactly new concepts in gaming. In both Skyrim and DragonVale, for example, these powerful and mysterious fabled creatures are part of the reason for the games' successes. Dragon Bane Elite represents an attempt on the part of its developer to illustrate the true might of the dragons in a portable game. Oh, and to reproduce the sprawling scale and depth of a desktop MMORPG on your iPhone. I spoke to Jianbo Tang from Digital Cloud, the creators of Dragon Bane Elite, to find out why this particular fantasy world is worth exploring... "Dragon Bane Elite is an MMORPG game with an epic history. The game is set in a fantasy past over 10,000 years ago. Players build their…
LIMBO Game Review
There's a recurring set piece in Limbo which involves a spider. You're making your way through the grey fog, plodding towards the next jump or physics puzzle, when a set of spindly legs hove into view behind you. You can't run especially fast, but the spider is in no hurry. A rising terror creeps up your back as you push forward, desperate to escape the advancing arachnid's hairy, stabbing limbs. If you don't think fast, a grisly death awaits you. You run. You jump. You hope. You'll e…
