Mind Games 2 Review
The brain training genre of games have often felt like a hodge-podge collection of mini games that combine puzzles and arcade elements, scoring you for the sake of progress. In other words, they were less about training and more about the challenge. Mind Games 2 may be a fairly simple offering compared to other brain training games, but this one feels like the real deal; your brain will feel the burn. Most games use a simple touch to select answers from the plethora of game modes, tho…

Ricky + Level Editor Review
If you are one of the millions of Super Mario fans around the world then you might want to have a look at Ricky. Not because of its gameplay or features, but because it’s a lower quality rip off of Nintendo’s favourite plumber. And if any thing mentioned sounds familiar, feel free to jump and up and yell “Mario did it!” Ricky, the apparent illegitimate love child of Mario and Kirby, must travel across different themed worlds, collecting stars and jumping…

Air Master 3D Review
Flight sims on the iPhone have been a somewhat risky proposition because they live or die by their ability to control an aircraft fluidly while still being able to let a gamer see what's happening. Air Master 3D by Alex Nankervis doesn't manage to make the cut as a flight sim shoot-em-up for this reason even if there is a nugget of gold hidden within. Players will find themselves tilting their craft around their island zone, though despite some thorough customisation options for these…
