Now, this is a golden oldie. Defender of the Crown was the killer app for the Amiga, a graphical showpiece so impressive that it helped convert a lot of eager users to Commodore’s brand spanking new platform. So, can Defender of the Crown impress as much as it did upon its original release in this [...]
App Junkie is a regular feature where Brihanna Watson, self-confessed app junkie, takes a look at an app that has got her attention. She will dissect the app in her own style, but still keep to the rigorous testing policy of the site. If you are indeed an ‘app junkie’, and find yourself spending an [...]
It isn’t often that an app can make you jump out of your skin, but Slice HD is one such app. A fear inducing, edge of your seat finger twister, this horror puzzle game is strictly for those without a faint heart. The premise is simple. All you have to do is to move some [...]
What do you get if you cross James Bond with Jerry of Tom and Jerry fame? Spy Mouse, a spy thriller with a hint of Flight Control is Firemint latest, but is it their greatest? Well, the short answer is yes, it is. Although not as technically stunning as Real Racing or as original and [...]
It’s rare for iPhone games to have good storylines. Continuing this tradition is Cavorite ($1.99), confidently presenting a nonsensical whimsy about someone with a beard and a large brain. In the 16-bit puzzle-platformer, Einstein-clone Dr Cavor is stuck on the moon, trapped by evil aliens called Selenites – clever enough to trap the doctor inside [...]
There have been a few Windows Phone 7 exclusives, some good, some not so good. Tentacles is an exciting and highly original game that really gives Windows Phone 7 owners something to lord over their Android and iPhone owning friends. Essentially a platform game, the title is a pseudo 3D trek around the body of [...]
There’s no activity more empowering than engaging in war, doing everything you can to embarrass your enemy. Zen Wars ($1.99) provides a fun, if sometimes flawed, way to realise your dreams as a warlord. The game is similar to Rampart (a game that I’ve somehow never played). Each level plays as a cycle between three [...]
Super Monkey Ball first got its claws into me when it was released as a launch game for the Nintendo GameCube. An action puzzle/platform hybrid, there is an evil core hiding inside the fluffy visuals and bouncy music that keeps you coming back for more punishment, even when you know you have reached the limit [...]
The original iBlast Moki was one of the earliest (shortly after Rolando) physics-based puzzle game that I played on an iOS platform and it absolutely blew me away. It was like a bit like the incredible machine, but you could actually got to use your fingers to manipulate things yourself! It was fun, original and [...]
While I was browsing the app store a few days ago, a game caught my eye, its title glaring challengingly at me. The Impossible Game ($0.99) isn’t quite as difficult as its name suggests, but is still very, very hard. The minimalistic 2D platformer puts you in control of an orange square that scrolls automatically [...]
