‘Aralon: Sword And Shadow’ Goes On Sale For $4.99, More ‘Pocket RPG’ Screens Emerge
Crescent Moon's Aralon: Sword and Shadow is one of the App Store’s meatier games, so it often demands a meatier price point. If its standard price of $9.99 is too much for you to swallow, I think you’ll dig this news: the game, which is a Universal app, is now just $4.99. That’s, like, a [...]
A Look at ‘Cargo Runners’ – Trouble Brothers’ Second iOS Board Game
Trouble Brothers’ Cargo Runners [$4.99] is a digital board game with basic issues that should have been ironed out prior to its release. Its tutorial is bad. It does a decent job in communicating major goals, but it fails in speaking to flow and strategy, which are constituent parts of the Ticket to Ride-meets-the-ocean-trading experience [...]

‘Puzzle Agent 2′ Review – Puzzle Harder?
Graham Annable’s Puzzle Agent [$4.99 / HD] shook up Telltale Games’ widening, but creatively dim portfolio with its differentiating tone, art direction, and mechanics. It wasn’t adventurous: it was Professor Layton with a fresh coat of paint. Puzzle Agent 2 [$4.99 / HD] is no different. It picks up right where the original left us, [...]

Update to ‘Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3′ Brings Full Roster and Selection of Arenas
When EA released Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 [99¢/HD] last December, it struck me as kind of a strange release. It wasn’t a direct port of the original arcade game, though it did retain the original music and sound effects. Instead it was a brand new version of that game completely redone with 3D graphics, and [...]

Writers Get Motivated With Novel In 30
Any app that has a description beginning with ‘Admit it – you’ve always wanted to write a novel.’ shouts at me. Because yes I do and I reckon somewhere deep inside me there is a great novel in there. Or at least one that more than five people would be willing to read. Lacking motivation [...]
