Livin’ on the EDGE

Review by Nacho

edge-iconFinally a Marble Maze type game that doesn’t suck, EDGE, is in the App Store now.

Edge won the Milthon award for Best Mobile Game of 2008 at the Festival du Jeu Video, Paris and is nominated for the Excellence in Gameplay award at the International Mobile Gaming Award competition. It’s clear in your first few moments of EDGE that these accolades are well deserved.

Come with me as we journey to the EDGE, and back.

New/old GTA contender coming
to iPhone (updated with video)

Apex Designs are bringing their GTA style game ‘Payback’ to iPhone. Originally released in the US for the Gameboy Advance back in 2005. The game was well known for pushing the GBA graphically to it’s limits. Apart from the obvious graphical upgrades, not much is known yet on how the iPhone version of game differs from the GBA version, but it looks likely that it will be a port of the currently available GP2X version. With Car Jack Streets also on it’s way from TAG, 2009 looks like a good year for some serious criminal action on the iPhone. Read on for screens and video (GP2X version). [More →]

Sim City Review

Review by Dave LeClair

Sim City is easily one of my most anticipated games for the iPhone, so when it finally came out and I got my review copy I was really excited to say the least. When you are looking forward to a game this much there’s only one place your final opinion of it can go, and that is down right? Wrong, Sim City lives up to my expectations in almost every way. Read on to find out why. [More →]

towerpuzzles_icon

by Matt Dunn

Aurora Feint is one of the most well known titles in iPhone gaming. With the release of Aurora Feint II: The Arena, it was made apparent that the developers are serious about adding features and innovative play to an already successful series. Tower Puzzles is a standalone version of the excellent “Tower” in the main Aurora Feint games, but is it worth the $2 price tag?

12-in-1 Jackpot Casino Review

Click to launch App Store

by Matt Dunn

Twelve Casino games in one definitely sounds like a great idea for a gambling game. There are many different versions of single games out there, so why not make a game that that contains all of them? Well, unfortunately for Jackpot Casino, a great idea, and great execution are two different things.

Dusktreaders MMO/FPS?

dusktreadersGranite games have released the mobile edition of Dusktreaders a tilt controlled FPS. On their website they mention an MMO, but we’re not sure if it’s a separate game to this. 

“From the world of the Dusktreaders MMO, explore the fast paced city of New Hexborough armed with silver bullets and a sword where zombies, skeletons, and werewolves lurk around every corner. “

The graphics look a little basic, but we’ll happily welcome any FPS right now… it’s not exactly a crowded genre on iPhone. [More →]

Will iControlPad see the light of day?

icontrolpad-20081223-600Well, according to Engadget, the iPhone game peripheral is heading into production as we speak. However, without support from Apple and the games developers, I doubt it will be a success… as of now it will only work with jail broken iPhone’s and emulated games. From the mockup, the d-pad looks a little small and out dated, and I’m not sure the iControlPad will have legs without an analogue stick!

While it’s a good idea in theory, I don’t think the iPhone really needs it… If Hero of Sparta has proved anything, it’s that virtual analogue touch controls can work a treat.
