Drift Mania Championship Gold Review

Review Maple Media Holdings, LLC By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 4 months ago
Drift Mania Championship Gold Review

I honestly don't get the attraction to drift racing, which is odd considering its popularity with many of my friends and indeed around the world. However, after spending time with Drift Mania Championship by Ratrod Studio I came close to understanding and if nothing else it's an impressive title at a bargain price that most racing fans should find hard to ignore. Drifting, as the game points out, is the sport of being in control of being out of control. The interface is amazingly eleg…

Aqua Moto Racing 2 Review

Review Dohi Sweden By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 4 months ago
Aqua Moto Racing 2 Review

Resolution Interactive are no stranger to racing titles, but Aqua Moto Racing 2 has upped the ante and fans of jet-ski racers need look no further than this excellent example of fun, adrenaline pumping aquatic mayhem. Players can choose from four basic control options, maneuvering their jet-ski via touch or tilt and selecting between auto and manual acceleration. No matter which option you stick with, the feel of racing your jet-ski is amazing, with weighty physics that slip and drag…

TRON Review

Review Disney By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
TRON Review

TRON Legacy is still half a year away, so it's somewhat odd to get our hands on the movie tie-in game App this early. Sure, there's a marketing angle to be worked here, but I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. TRON for the App Store is an action title where you control a tank from one of three different factions and compete for dominance over the internet. The tank is controlled much like a twin-stick shooter, with two analogue sticks representing the move and shoot functi…

RISK Review

Review Electronic Arts By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
RISK Review

Well here it is. The real thing. After an official partnering between Hasbro and Electronic Arts we now have the first legitimate 'RISK' title for the App Store, but was it really worth the wait when so many competitors already roaming the same territory? It's a natural question to ask, especially considering there have been variations on the 'world domination' board-game gameplay since the iPhone was released. Gameplay follows the strict basic rulings of the board game and players ca…

Wheel of Fortune Platinum Review

Review Sony Pictures Television By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
Wheel of Fortune Platinum Review

Are you tired of screaming at the television when you know the answer to a phrase in Wheel of Fortune? Then fret no more as Wheel of Fortune Platinum gives you the chance to pit yourself against thousands of puzzles while competing for a virtual jackpot. Very little has been missed in converting this long-running TV game-show to the iPhone, with each segment and bonus feature being packed in. After taking the time to set up your virtual avatar, players can jump straight in, spinning t…

PAC-Match Party Review

PAC-Match Party Review

Those who remember Google's recent logo-replacement might be aware that PAC-MAN has hit its 30th anniversary and the pop-culture icon has been popping up everywhere. In the latest of PAC-related titles for the App Store, Namco have released a new three-match title, PAC-Match Party to celebrate the event. By now most people should be familiar with the basic controls for three-match titles and PAC-Match does very little to change things up. Various icons representing the various fruits…

StarDunk - Online Basketball in Space Review

Review Godzilab By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
StarDunk - Online Basketball in Space Review

If basketball, online gaming and the 'flick' genre of minigames were put in a blender, you'd still only just start to approach the kind of game StarDunk by Godzilab is like. Players can choose between left or right handed orientation, placing the ball and hoop at opposite sides of the screen depending on your choice. To aim, all you have to do is place your finger down and drag around the screen to set your throw strength and angle. An indicator helps to align your shot and while this…

Archetype Review

Review Elephant Mouse LLC By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
Archetype Review

First-person shooters (FPS) on the iPhone have been increasingly upping the ante for a while now and Archetype by Villain takes the game to a new level with its ultra-slick graphics and smooth multiplayer gameplay. Should you be up for the challenge you can join up to nine other people fragging away their opponents in an intense online team deathmatch arena. Those familiar with other FPS titles will slip in to Archetype's default setup easily. Two analogue sticks control your movement…

HexaLex Review

Review Nathan Gray By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
HexaLex Review

HexaLex by Nathan Gray is another crack at the hexagonal-grid form of Scrabble and it's at this point that a lot of readers may switch off, but hold on, it's honestly a great implementation. Small considerations such as additional rules which can be modified or even turned off make this an extremely challenging variation on a popular board game idea. For fans of word-games it's likely you've already stumbled on this title, but the recent 2.0 updates have added some great new features…

The Gravedigger Review

The Gravedigger Review

Its been said before on AppSpy, but nailing that true real-time strategy (RTS) feel doesn't seem to be easy for portable devices. The Gravedigger by Behold Studios takes yet another approach to the genre pitting Humans and Zombies against each other in a charmingly simplistic new game. After selecting your allegiance with either the 'Gravedigger' or the 'Priest' you're launched in to a short 8 mission set of tutorial missions that slowly teach you how to control and maintain your armi…

Super Badminton Review

Super Badminton Review

UPDATE 25 July 2010: The latest updates have addressed some of the issues that bogged Super Badminton 2010 down and thankfully the AI has undergone a huge transformation. Movement still feels a bit wooden and lacks weight, but this is offset somewhat as players now seem to reach for the shuttlecock with more frequency. At this point, multiplayer would be a great addition, but for now it's great to see Super Badminton 2010 making it off the starting blocks and we have revised our score…

Miner Disturbance Review

Review Jagex By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
Miner Disturbance Review

Miner Disturbance is the latest free-Flash-to-iPhone adaption from developer Jagex Games Studio and for fans of this title you're in for a treat. Often it's hard to justify paying for a game that is otherwise free, but if you enjoyed plumbing the depths of just one mountain then you'll love the challenge of conquering 25 unique maps. Each level of the main game varies slightly in its goals, but for most your aim is to collect as much precious ore while avoiding pitfalls like drowning,…

iFlexis Review

Review Thumbstar Games Ltd By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
iFlexis Review

Wrapping your head around iFlexis by Thumbstar Games is a little hard, but if you were to combine Tetris with bouncy physics and a three-match game you'd at least be in the right vicinity. At first glance, the comparison to Tetris is immediately apparent, with familiarly shaped block configurations of various colors descending in to place at the bottom of the screen. However, once the objects are touched they come to life with a bouncy rubbery feel that can be swung around your finger…

Voodoo Dice Review

Review Ubisoft By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
Voodoo Dice Review

It felt like only a matter of time until Voodoo Dice by Ubisoft hit the App Store, with its simple controls and unique puzzle gameplay that seems perfect for games on the go. And honestly, who doesn't see a title like Voodoo Dice and not be somewhat intrigued? However, score one for the marketing division as Voodoo Dice doesn't involve chance or luck (as Dice would imply) and the Voodoo theme is just that, a visual theme. Oh well, at least the gameplay sucks you in yeah? Ostensibly, t…

Green Jump Review

Review Scanovate LTD By Andrew Nesvadba, 14 years, 5 months ago
Green Jump Review

Much like the boldness displayed by the creators of Veggie Samurai, Baboonix have developed a rather blatant Doodle Jump clone in Green Jump - the first official game for Greenpeace on the App Store. But it's not entirely without merit as Green Jump keeps things simple and most importantly, fun. Players need only to tilt their device to help slide their green crusader around as he jumps off clouds to escape the rising smog. As you climb in to the stratosphere you can collect letters t…
