Learn Catching Hard Hits in Mobile Linebacker for iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch
Mobile Linebacker puts you in the defense line of football as a linebacker. The developer guys at VIVA! Vision Inc. and VODA digital LLC probably figured that kids nowadays are woosies and should learn to catch some hits. After all, offense is just a matter of having guts; defense is all about being a real [...]

Many mobile gamers still fancy Flipping burgers and a twist of strategy added to it, which is why G5 Entertainment released its third installment of the Stand O’Food series in the App Store for both iOS devices and the Androids. Ronnie the Chef is back in his Stand O’Food chain in Tinseltown where he meets [...]
‘Emissary Of War’ Passes The Sniff Test
A new RPG is hitting this summer and it appears to have all the makings of a solid third-person, narrative-led hack-and-slash. Swords and an odd world? Check-check. Spiders and other monsters? Check-check. Simple click-treat action? Check. Muscles? Check. A dry, weird name? Yeah, Emissary of War passes that test, too, I think. But does it [...]

A new studio founded by a duo of veterans responsible for titles like XCOM as well as a smattering of other originals like BioShock, Fallout: Tactics, and Freedom Force, have announced its first game, Epoch. It’s an arena-based, gesture-controlled cover shooter built with Unreal 3 for iOS devices. As you’d imagine, it looks beautiful — [...]
‘Machinegun Jetpack’ Probably Hitting This August, Will Support IAP
Back in March, I felt luckier than a field of four leaf clovers when I was among the first to see Fruit Ninja [$.99 / HD] creator Halfbrick’s latest side-scrolling title, Machinegun Jetpack. It’s a mix of infinite runner and shooter like Monster Dash [$.99 / HD]. Heck, it even stars that game’s hero, Barry [...]
Classic Amiga Game ‘Pinball Dreams’ is Getting a 3D Makeover
Developer Cowboy Rodeo was kind enough to port the classic Amiga pinball game Pinball Dreams [$4.99/Lite] to the iPhone all the way back in February of 2009. The port was very good, with physics that accurately represented those of the original and ever so slightly enhanced graphics. In fact, Pinball Dreaming was almost better on [...]
‘Tiny Tower’ Update Fixes Crashes
Since NimbleBit's Tiny Tower [Free] launched last week, it has become their most successful game yet. As of this writing, the game has been downloaded 1,230,688 times and is seeing a surprisingly high 2.6% in-app purchase conversion rate which is nearly double that of their previous title, Pocket Frogs [Free]. Over 18 million sessions have [...]
First Update to ‘Chaos Rings Ω’ Lands on App Store
Back when Chaos Rings Ω [$11.99 / HD] first launched, Square Enix revealed a surprising schedule of updates to continually up the level cap, add more bosses, and even more loot to collect. These updates should keep rolling out over the course of the year, with level caps and bosses being released all the way [...]
Freebie Alert: ‘Death Rally’ – Grab This Game Now
Got a case of the Mondays? Well I've got the cure, right here: Death Rally [Free]. We gave the game five stars in our review, and I'd go as far as to say that Death Rally is easily among the best top-down racers available on the App Store if not the best. Seriously, don't miss [...]

Gameloft’s ‘Backstab’ Gets Official iOS Release this Thursday, New Trailer and Screens
Back in March, Gameloft announced a new 3D action game called Backstab. Strangely, the game seemed to be an exclusive to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play phone which also launched that month. Most people speculated that the title would eventually make its way to iOS, and indeed we did get our hands on an iPad [...]
Manomio Demonstrates iCade Support for ‘iAmiga’ Emulator
Early yesterday I made a post sharing Manomio CEO Stuart Carnie's intent to bring iCade support to his Commodore emulation systems. Early this morning, he posted a video of the Amiga game International Karate + running under his iAmiga emulation system with full iCade support. I've not had a chance to test out his latest development build personally, [...]
Freebie Friday: ‘Army of Darkness Defense’ – Gimme Some (Free) Sugar, Baby!
Last month, Backflip Studios unleashed Army of Darkness Defense [Free/HD] into the App Store. Based on the campy B-movie Army of Darkness, a particularly popular entry in the cult classic Evil Dead franchise, the video game incarnation is a castle defense game with some very light RPG elements. The castle defense premise plays perfectly into [...]

Favorite Four: Board Games (iPad Edition)
The iPad is a perfect two-player gaming device. Specifically, the iPad is awesome for playing board games. While the following board games aren’t all iPad-only, these are my favorites for use on the iPad. This week’s Favorite Four are my favorite four board game apps. Risk Risk, the classic strategy game, is probably my most [...]
E3 2011: Chillingo Hands-On – ‘Roll in the Hole’, ‘Blobster’, ‘DrawRace 2′, and ‘Contre Jour’
Of all the outfits at E3 showing iOS related stuff, Chillingo by far had the best overall lineup. All four of these games look great, and I really can't wait to give 'em all a try. They really know how to pick the games they're going to promote now, and while I'm not entirely sure [...]
E3 2011: EA Hands-On – ‘Madden 12′, ‘FIFA 12′, ‘Battleship’, and a new ‘Monopoly’
Meeting with EA is always a little weird at conventions. Like most massive companies they're governed by many layers of management, marketing, and more. Because of this, details on a lot of these games are hilariously vague. In fact, I was able to get a peek at The Sims Medival, but at this point in [...]
E3 2011: Capcom & Beeline Hands-On – ‘Street Fighter IV Volt’, ‘Monster Pet Shop’, and ‘Dream Park’
Capcom (and their tiny mobile division Beeline Interactive) had a massive booth at E3. In this tiny booth was a single kiosk showing off their iOS offerings. Regardless, the guys are Capcom were totally excited to show everything off. I'm sure people will be most interested to check out Street Fighter IV Volt, the upcoming [...]
E3 2011: ‘Sonic & Sega Allstars Racing’ Hands-On
Do you find yourself craving Mario Kart on your iPhone, but then are depressed every time you realize that there isn't a Nintendo logo on the device, making such a thing hilariously unlikely? Well, Sega might be offering the next best thing. Sonic & Sega Allstars Racing takes a load of hints from Mario Kart, [...]
E3 2011: Muteki Corportation – Hands-On with ‘Dragon Fantasy’, ‘Game Studio’, and the new ‘Jetpack Dragon’ Update
Believe it or not, E3 wasn't all big name developers and publishers, even though the insane show floor would make most believe otherwise. No, actually, it turns out that there were quite a few indie developers around enjoying the sights and sounds that I was able to catch up with. The first of which was [...]
WWDC 2011: Crescent Moon Games Hands-On Videos
At WWDC this year we got a chance to one again catch up with Josh Presseisen of Crescent Moon Games who had an iPad 2 loaded with tons of games (some not even his) that he was eager to demonstrate for us. The first of which was Paper Monsters which we have extensively posted about [...]
‘Shadow Gun’ Gets A New Trailer, Android Support Confirmed
While I still have reservations about how a fleshed-out, retail build of Shadow Gun will look on touch devices, it’s hard not to get excited about its potential. In another video that showcases its apparent visual splendor, creator Mad Finger is also giving viewers a solid look at the action component of it, which appears [...]
‘Tilt to Live’ Re-Created as Custom Level for PS3 ‘Little Big Planet 2′
Alright, this is nuts. Little Big Planet 2 was released for the PS3 in early 2011, and much like the original Little Big Planet, came loaded with an extensive custom level creation suite. These custom levels are available for download online, and while some of them are fairly creative, I haven't seen anything like this: [...]
NimbleBit Releases Trailer for Upcoming Title ‘Tiny Tower’
We've had our pepperoni-greased thumbs all over Tiny Tower since the start of a beta last month. Nissa did a fabulous hands-on preview not long ago, but this recent trailer actually shows the game in motion which should really whet the appetite of any NimbleBit fan: In the same vein of Pocket Frogs, Tiny Tower [...]

The game will feature two different playable characters, the young prince Wenrick and the female warrior Erien, [...]
Freebie Alert: ‘Speedball 2 Evolution Free for a Few Days
The iOS version of the classic Bitmap Brothers game Speedball 2: Evolution [Link] is currently free for the next few days. Speedball 2 is a sports game of sorts, a mishmash of football and hockey (or fockeyball, as I call it) with arcade elements and a futuristic theme. It’s similar to the classic arcade game [...]
