1942: FIRST STRIKE Review
Before titles like Street Fighter or Mega Man dominated the market for Capcom, 1942 was tearing up the Arcades and carried on as a popular series of shoot'em-ups. Recently the series had a revival on the XBox Live Arcade as a 3D amalgamation of the previous titles and now fans of the series can play a retro-remix of this title on their iDevices with '1942: FIRST STRIKE'. Players can switch between tilt-to-move or touch-and-swipe controls for maneuvering one of three available planes.…

Dark Fighter Review
RTS (real-time strategy) titles have gained mixed success on the App Store by dialing back the complexity of a genre that has relied on a symbiosis with PC hardware for so long. Dark Fighter by Slowchop Studios joins these titles as a challenging RTS experience that's perfect for fans after a quick and furious match. Intuitive controls are employed for moving around the screen via swipes, pinching to zoom and dragging objects to position them for construction. A catch-all build button…

LandFormer Review
Elegant, thought provoking playground-style puzzle games really get my brain to light up like a Christmas Tree and not since Path Pix have I felt so excited about a game like LandFormer by Streaming Colour Studios. In this puzzler, players will need to use a limited set of tools to raise and lower the landscape in a 5x5 grid to return the world back to a pristine flat plain. There are several restrictions that help to limit the complexity with only six tools in total, each with their…

It's time to put your T-Pain hat on because Skelanimals Dance Party by Flying Penguin is ready to throw more AutoTune at you than your brain can handle.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (US) Review
The Pro Evolution Soccer series has garnered a lot of respect from some fans of the sport thanks mostly to its weighty and realistic feeling players that smoothly maneuver their way across the pitch with practiced skill. PES 2010 is Konami's first release of their popular franchise on the iPhone and fans can expect the same attention to detail present in its bigger console brothers. There are three control schemes to choose from, with a classic stick and two-button configuration commo…

Crystal War Review
Crystal War by GNC INTERACTIVE has taken its basic inspirations from obvious sources and brings their own spin to the Trenches style of gameplay with a touch of Warcraft to create something truly fascinating. Opponents are placed at either end of the screen, often requiring some scrolling to reach the other side, while crystals (the game's form of currency) fill the land between. Harvesters can gather the crystals, which then goes towards purchasing units in order to push back your en…

Geometry Wars™: Touch Review
Plenty of other developers have taken a crack at trying to recapture the magic of Geometry Wars and some have certainly come close, but nothing quite manages to come close as the real thing. Now you can play it almost anywhere thanks to a recent update from Activision that added native support for the iPhone as well. There are a couple options for controlling your ship, with the traditional twin-analogue setup being the most obvious addition along with the choice of using single-stick…

BATTLE BEARS -1 Review
With a healthy dose of comedy and more than a dash of familiar sci-fi inspiration, Battle Bears -1 (that's a prequel for those keeping track) has jumped from its basic shooter roots and developers SkyVu Pictures have opted to try their hands at a third person shooter. Each level is broken up in to smaller chambers filled with obstacles (including the occasional turret) for your Battle Bear, Oliver, to overcome. This Smash TV inspired design is punctuated by wave after wave of cute ado…

Jumbo Snake™ Review
Snake. If you own a mobile phone it's a fair bet you've played Snake. It's almost synonymous with the devices after being packed with Nokia phones and most other devices in various iterations. Jumbo Snake by Boost Mobile offers gamers their take on the simple object-eating-and-growing reptile gameplay by elegantly presenting a very vanilla version. There are no d-pads, virtual sticks or buttons to worry about, just simple swipes. Flicking your finger will determine the direction you h…

EXO-Planet Elite Review
SGN are no stranger to creating multiplayer games for the iPhone and it's great to see them try their hands at a shooter-based game in EXO-Planet Elite. Players can take part in capture-the-flag and death-match games that take place in zero-g combat arenas where players can freely jump in to the emptiness of space or grapple their way between platforms. EXO uses standard customizable FPS controls for their third-person shooter, with two thirds of the screen being dedicated for moving…

Hexius Review
Hexius by Phasic Labs is an interesting beast to approach and could easily be mistaken for a 3-match game, but instead of swapping and matching gems you'll need to drag up your 'Where's Wally' skills to quickly and efficiently find all the matching tiles spread around the field. Once your first tile is selected you'll have to find and select all the matching tiles to continue, however selecting an incorrect tile will allow you to restart your sequence. Depending on the path created by…
