STREET FIGHTER IV Review
If you're going to make a fighting game for the iphone, you best be sure you get the controls right, especially if multiplayer is involved.

Control is all touch based, using an on screen joystick and four buttons with the touch controls being very responsive. This reviewer had trouble pulling off special moves when needed, but has always had that…

Final Fantasy brings back a lot of memories. Originally released in 1987, it was one of the first console RPGs to gain popularity due to its battle mechanics, giant explorable world and intriguing story.

The world has descended into chaos and a prophecy speaks of the warriors of light that will carry the world crystals and restore them to their former glory. The…

It is a quick reaction game that requires players to quickly perform touch actions using the games screen. The longer your streak is, the higher your score will be. Players are required to perform each action as the description pops onto screen. For example if ‘Tap It’ comes up players will need to tap the screen with one finger. While the actions are simple, most of the time, players will need to repeat an action until you move onto the next action as the touch recognitio…

LUMINES™ - Touch Fusion Review
From its humble and somewhat exciting beginnings on the PSP, Lumines has now found a home on the iPhone.

As a simple card game, you only need to tap the cards on screen. This would be hard to mess up, but sometimes…

Is there a gamer alive who hasn't played Tetris? It's been ported to every system imaginable, and now with touch controls, EA have brought it to the iPhone. The goal is the same as always. One of seven shaped blocks will fall. You need to rotate and place them so that a line is created, and then erased. The more lines erased, the faster the game gets. If the blocks reach the top, game over. At first glance, the touch controls seemed like a bad idea. Wouldn't tilting the iPhone be bett…
