Miner Problem Review
Mining is a hard and repetitive task. Smashing valuables out of the earth with a pick and shovel is hard work. It takes perseverance, strength, and skill. When the earth rumbles and shakes, it is no minor problem when the walls and ceiling start to cave in. Miner Problem tackles these falling rocks in a way any iOS title would, with an endless running game.
Octagon – A Minimal Arcade Game Review
Minimalism isn't just a design choice, but a way of life. Condensing all you own into smaller and smaller packages is the way of the digital age. Look at your iPhone, it does everything! When it comes to iPhone games, I've found that less is often more. Simple games have more replay value and are usually much more fun than some bloated piece of schizophrenic garbage. Let's check out and see if Oct
Pocket God: Ooga Jump Review
What do you get when you tap an endless running game open on your iPhone and turn it vertical? A jumping game! Now, there are just about as many endless jumping games as there are running ones, but that doesn't stop the usual deluge of new ones being released with their own little spin. This time we have a new game from the creators of Pocket God. Ooga Jump puts you in the position of a benevolent
Bit. Trip. Run! Review
Running games are an essential part of your iOS game diet. But, there are so many out there that you can easily get confounded as to which you should play. This one has simple and moody graphics, this other one monkeys chasing after you and a golden idol. The choices are endless. The only way to stand out as a balanced gaming meal is to be the whole package wrapped up in an insane amount of colorf

Like the original Dark Souls, prepare to cuddle up to your pillow and cry desperately at your own inadequacy. Dark Souls II is on its way to break your gaming spirit and trample all your hopes and dreams.
Infinity Danger Review
A game with 'Infinity' in the name had better live up to its similarly named titles. But gazing at the infinity is dangerous. It can ruin even the most carefully constructed games and force them into the pit of repetitive boredom. Let's have a look and see if Infinity Danger will keep you rapt forever or leave you bored after 10 minutes.
10 Best Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker Cheats
Within the pantheon of Zelda games, Wind Waker stands alone. It is easily one of the greatest in the franchise. The style, the charm, and the sailing on the high seas rendered in beautiful technicolor cell shading was refreshing for the series but didn't lose the soul and heart of a truly great adventure...
Regular Show: Ghost Toasters Review
What sets apart a good game from a great game? Character. Think of all the greatest games you've played and notice how each and everyone of them has their own distinct style and character. You could look at your shelf of cases and remember the good times you had with each of them just like they were your best friends. In the onslaught of weekly iOS offerings, character is what sets apart this shoo
Arc Squadron Redux Review
The space shooter has been a staple of video games from the beginning. Ever since Asteroids was released, we've been treated to a bevy of all sorts of spaceship-based explosion festivals featuring psychedelic graphics and intense gameplay. Arc Squadron was an iOS title that was released a year ago, but it has undergone a facelift and tummy tuck. Let's see how far we've come from the days of black
Superman Vs. Batman – Sequel Wish List
Comic book films have been a huge success and with them, there are bound to be tie-in video games. Even though Man of Steel received a bit of a lukewarm welcome, a sequel was green-lit featuring the Dark Knight himself. While this may provide some surprising twists in the DC cinematic universe, it becomes a much more intriguing idea for a video game...
