RollOut Review
For most puzzle platformers you'll be put in control of a character that's subject to the whims of a cruel environment that can push, block and direct you towards various traps. In Rollout by Bulkypix you get to reverse the roles, taking control of the environment to bounce, speed up and slow down an adorable ball of fluff called Wabba as he makes his way to each exit. Once Wabba warps in to each level he'll curl up and start rolling until you've completed the level, leaving you to sh…

Deadly Dungeon Review
Deadly Dungeon by Monstro has had a lot of buzz leading up to its release, with the beautiful and dark 3D graphics leaving gamers entranced. And lets not beat around the bush, it's a seriously gorgeous action-RPG, but does the gameplay live up to the pretty packaging? The controls are kept simple with an analogue stick and two-button setup being used to move and attack or block enemies. A cluster of four small buttons provide access to magic spells that you'll unlock as you progress,…

Soccer Superstars® Review
Those familiar with GAMEVIL's Superstars series of Baseball games will need little introduction to their latest title Soccer Superstars. However, those new to the action-packed mix of team-management with arcade and RPG gameplay will be in for a fun ride as you explore all of the games available modes and challenges. Much like the Baseball series, Soccer Superstars uses a simple and familiar control setup for their matches, with a virtual stick controlling the direction of your player…

iTraceur - Parkour / Freerunning Platform Game Review
UPDATE: A lot of our major cons have fixed due to recent patches and the original score was no longer appropriate. An in-game tutorial level provides players with a good training ground for learning the controls, while new options even allow players to reposition buttons to their liking. I still feel that the graphics and niche appeal are holding the game back, but fans of Parkour can definitely jump in to this title with confidence. Parkour, freerunning, the art of movement - it may…

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…

RottenCity Review
**UPDATE** After a recent patch, RottenCity was given an option to enable D-Pad controls for the game. Movement, aiming and firing feels much smoother and makes it much easier to enjoy the game as you're no longer fighting against your own character. Definitely worth trying if you're after a challenging survival experience. RottenCity by 3Dpaper could easily be an absorbing action-RPG that could devastate your available free time if it wasn't for the game's tragic flaws. Combining a r…

Jump O'Clock Review
Jump o'Clock by Glu is a steam-punk inspired endless vertical jumper that's simply stunning to watch and with several unlockable challenges it's not hard to keep busy with this little App. Climbing the clockwork tower is easy enough as touching the screen will springboard your robot companion (LE0) off his current surface towards a safe platform. The platforms themselves are a collection of randomly generated cogs, some with dangerous surfaces, however you can use the spinning momentu…

The Package Review
It has been a while since I've tried my hand at a serious physics puzzle app, so it was great to get my hands on Rock Pocket's latest release, The Package. Your objective is to ensure that a single box makes its way to a small platform on each level, but the added challenge of dealing with interference from mechanisms in the level and attempting to collect all the bonuses makes this a treat to enjoy. Each level can be explored by dragging your finger around the screen, while pinching…

Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 Review
Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 by Activision and developers Polarbit has improved on what was already a decent, if out-dated Mario Kart style racer, making it a great, fun arcade experience for your iPhone. Players have the option of choosing between tilt or virtual steering controls via the menu and both work fantastically, providing smooth control for each kart. Those after more finesse might prefer the virtual controls, but the tilt controls do make the game far more entertaining to…

Zombie Shock Review
In Zombie Shock by BLUE WIND you'll be fighting against an increasingly difficult horde of zombies (surprise surprise) while escaping their dangerous clutches. Zombie Shock combines elements of castle defense games with an action-oriented control system to create an intensely addictive and challenging experience that almost anyone can enjoy. This particular combination of gameplay elements does present a few problems when it comes to the controls, allowing players to freely roam the s…

Bio Army Review
Bio-monsters are invading, so it's time to crack out the troops to defend your base. Bio Army by DigiRabi forgoes being weighed down by a well crafted storyline and gets straight in to the action for this fairly standard tower defense title. Various military units acting as 'towers', buildings and traps can by dragged on to the game's fixed grid placements while upgrades are performed by selecting structures to bring up a detailed menu. Each level has various obstacles that prevent pl…

Love Love Review
With so many Apps coming out each day - some from major companies, most from independent groups - it's easy to miss some real gems. Love Love by Bambalam is a diamond that shouldn't be passed over if you love puzzle match titles. In a similar vein to Dr Mario inspired games, blocks enter the screen as paired groups using each of the primary colors (red, yellow and blue) or a gray 'broken heart'. Matches are made by joining 4 or more same colored blocks directly, however there's an add…

Bowmaster Review
With so many bow-related games to choose from, it's nice to experience first-hand how to aim and fire a bow thanks to Bowmaster by iOccam. Putting aside the references to Robin Hood, your goal is to compete against various archers in a competition to score the most points in an artificially created shooting range. Aiming and firing is easy to achieve, using two fingers in the portrait orientation to aim and draw back your bow and arrow. Various mock-animals will make their way around…
