Vampire Saga: Pandora's Box Review
Vampire Saga: Pandora's Box by Alawar Entertainment is another attempt to fuse adventure elements with a basic hidden object puzzle system and while it may not have found the magic formula, it's interesting storyline will keep casual game fans busy until the end. It's great to see developers playing with the hidden object game (HOG) formula, however for those interested this title is of the 'clutter' variety, with each of the object-finding scenes being littered with objects. Thankful…

Let's create! Pottery Review
Playing 'Let's create! Pottery' was an interesting lesson for me as a gamer, or more specifically a bit of a reminder to not judge a book (or game in this case) by its cover. While the ultimate aim of this not-quite-a-game title from Infinite Dreams is to merely craft pottery, the journey from hobbyist to artist is a surprisingly fun and challenging experience to follow. Much like the creation of real pottery there are several stages to work through. At first you'll be presented with…

Tetra3D - A 3D Game Review
One of my favorite games on the Amiga was a simple clone of Tetris set in a 3D environment, Blockout. Various iterations have occurred down the line, but 'Tetra3D - A 3D Game' by GeniApps is one of the first I've seen for the App Store. Unlike other 3D-Tetris variants, Tetra3D is set in an isometric view which presents a few problems, the first of which is a blocked point of view while the blocks fall. Thankfully the game corrects this flaw by allowing the block to hover above the 3D…

Chop Chop Soccer Review
The Chop Chop series from Gamerizon expands again as gamers are now set to try their hands (or hand as it were) at an arcade-style Soccer title. The signature one-finger style of control that has defined this sometimes amazing series has continued through to Chop Chop Soccer as well. In order to accommodate the rather stripped back control scheme, Chop Chop Soccer does away with any faithful recreation of the classic football game and sticks to the basics with teams consisting of thre…

Hero of Sparta II Review
No, it's not just you. I've got an overwhelming sense that I've been here before too, but if it has to be said Hero of Sparta II (HoS2) by Gameloft has kept it's standards high and in this latest installment in the saga of Argos you'll go head to head against, well, just about everything that moves. However before you get to chopping the obligatory horde of undead and mythical creatures, you'll have to brace yourself for some mighty fine examples of how voice acting shouldn't be done.…

Pool Bar - Online Hustle Review
Sometimes it's nice to keep things simple and elegant; no strings attached, just a game you can casually chip away at while passing the time. Pool Bar HD by Future Games of London is just that, a simple no frills Pool simulator. But don't be fooled, they haven't skimped on the details that count and by all means this is a truly gorgeous game to play. Once you've selected from the available 9 Ball, US 8 Ball and UK 8 Ball variants you're placed behind a cue and can slowly but surely ch…

Gorillaz - Escape to Plastic Beach Review
Ever since the turn of the century Gorillaz has gone from a funky project by Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett and has turned in to a multimedia juggernaut that threatens to consume us all (this may or may not be entirely out of proportion to reality). 'Gorillaz - Escape to Plastic Beach' by Matmi is the latest in media tie-ins for the band and you'll get to take control of the deranged Murdoc as he attempts to reign in the band and defend their island home. Murdoc takes flight in a cust…

Wild West 3D Rollercoaster Rush Review
Digital Chocolate have had a good run with the 3D Rollercoaster Rush series, adding a few different themes and other basic changes along the way. 'Wild West' is the latest in the series, but instead of the fast-paced thrills of its previous incarnations, this title has taken a completely different direction. The game no longer relies on tilt control alone and now allows players to control the forward/backward movement as well as the tilt via touch controls. Players are still in the bu…

Magnetic Shaving Derby Review
After checking out the screenshots for Magnetic Shaving Derby (MSD) you'd be forgiven for steering clear, opting not to jump in to what clearly looks like a crazy title. Nyarlu Labs have succeeded in distilling iconic and random concepts in to a title that's easy to play and fun to experience. Players can choose between touch or tilt controls for their magnet, however thanks to the way the physics simulation works neither one is truly superior to the other. Dragging your magnet around…

Death Knight Review
Triniti Interactive's latest release, Death Knight jumps on the beat'em up bandwagon with its own spin on the genre. Bad guys invade, your character takes up the call, bad guys get their heads smashed in - it's nothing unique, but at least there's no kidnapped princess/mayor/girlfriend to bother rescuing. On your epic 77 level journey you'll take the reigns of a nameless knight as he wields an assortment of weaponry to dispatch the 'forces of EVIL'. There's only one control scheme to…

AirAttack Review
It can't be said that developers Art In Games didn't strike while the iron was hot and they've promptly released their new shoot'em-up AirAttack after the disappointing 1942: FIRST STRIKE failed to impress. While both of these games have a similar vibe it's hard to make a genuine comparison as AirAttack simply blows the opposition out of the water. There are three standard control schemes to choose from and players can take their pick from the available touch, tilt or virtual stick op…

Last King of Africa Review
It must be Christmas in July because Adventure-genre fans have had a pick of some great titles lately and now followers of prominent game developer Benoît Sokal can play The Last King of Africa on their iDevices. This game started its life under the commonly known title of 'Paradise' in 2006 and has now been published by Bulkypix on the App Store. The traditional point-and-click interface of most adventure titles has been swapped with a basic smart-touch system in this release.…

Psychoban Review
Those familiar with Sokoban need little introduction to a title like Psychoban by Dedalord. For anyone that's lost in translation, you'll need to push blocks over the available switches in order to pass the levels in this devious puzzle title. It's a familiar style that has been explored before, but Psychoban adds an isometric 3D twist to make things a little more interesting. Moving your poor lobotomized patient is intuitive and only requires tapping on a valid spot. Selecting and mo…

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…

Veggie Samurai Review
Without diving head-long in to the debate over what some consider a controversial release, Veggie Samurai by QuantumSquid Interactive is the unabashed vegetable-themed doppelganger to the immensely popular Fruit Ninja. The App Store certainly isn't a stranger to cloned titles, but some certainly tow the line a lot closer than others. The basic controls of Veggie Samurai remain the same as those for Fruit Ninja, with players swiping the screen to enact brutal vengeance against healthy…
