Judging from their Twitter account, YoRooster Studios is a new group of indie game makers and they seem like a nice group of blokes. I want to be able to tell them that Jet Point, their freshman effort into the morass of iOS games, is a fantastic new title that everyone should have on their phone or tablet. But after spending a bit of time with this frustrating arcade puzzler, I have to say that

Konami and Platinum have teamed for yet another installment of downloadable content for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. While the first add-on gave us a chance to play as antagonist Jetstream Sam, this new content features Raiden's computerized canine companion, LQ-84i (aka Blade Wolf). Those hoping for a more engaging or robust experience than was previously delivered in the Jetstream Sam DLC sho

Sometimes a title says it all. Sometimes the name of an iOS game gives you all the information you need to know to make an assumption about the quality of the game. It can give you an almost exact idea of how interesting, engaging, and exciting a game will be. All of that said, let’s have a look at Trucker: Parking Simulator. Will this title transcend the shackles of its name and provide a truly

Though Raiden's adventure may be over, Platinum Games and Konami are keeping Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance going with new downloadable content featuring some of his co-stars. The first add-on gives us a look at Desperado assassin Jetstream Sam, and tells the story of how he came to be a mercenary for hire. Unfortunately, it's not a very interesting tale.

Random Heroes 2 is a platformer from Ravenous Games, the studio behind the League of Evil and the original Random Heroes game. These titles are love letters to oldschool platformers, bringing their difficulty, need for precision, and retro style to the forefront of modern portable gaming. Does this latest title in the series impress? Or should we just start calling it Ran-dumb Heroes 2?

The iOS platform is great for many types of games. Physics puzzlers, platformers, running games, racing games, and even hack and slash games work very well with the touch screen. They’ve adapted to the new medium very well. First person shooters haven’t made the leap as gracefully. With the exception of a very select few, FPS games simply don’t work well on the iOS. Enemy Strike is a FPS. Shall we

Almost 15 years ago I experienced the last real-life Star Wars pinball game. I remember fondly seeing Star Wars: Episode I pinball in a shady dive bar full of creepy bikers. The game featured a killer virtual game screen and tons of dialogue ripped from the movie. For this Star Wars fanboy, the experience was like none other. Although I didn't spend too much of my time button-mashing, I'm still am

The Metal Slug series was famous for being fast, furious, and funny. The games could also get pretty difficult and drain you of all your quarters in the arcade, but at least you'd have a good time with your friends, even if only for about half an hour or so. Does the port of Metal Slug 2 blow us away? Or is nostalgia not enough to warrant a purchase?

Grab your gear and fall in line! You're a soldier on a mission to blow everything up in Total Recoil. Seriously, the rules of Total Recoil are as follows: Rule 1: Shoot anything that moves; Rule 2: Shoot anything that doesn’t. Awesome! Those are the kind of rules I can get behind, seeing as how my typical strategy is to run around a level like a hyena on crack. Well, Total Recoil encourages that c

I’ve figured out the formula to iOS games. Pick an adjective and then pick an animal. The adjective will automatically make the animal sound funny, mainly because you never think of describing most animals with any adjectives at all. They’re just animals. I’m going to invent Rebellious Llamas, but until then, find out what the latest adjective animal is inside.
