Game Review: Whale Trail

Posted January 17, 2012 by Mark Dell

Is the two button control method of games such as Robot Unicorn attack bringing you down? Because Whale Trail is now on Android, with half the buttons and twice the delight. Is a platform game still a platform game when you get rid of the platforms? Perhaps not, but what if you’re scrolling from left [...]

Game Review: SimCity™ Deluxe

Posted December 21, 2011 by Mark Dell

What other game series entices you to spend hours building a perfectly balanced society and then tear it down with some unnatural disasters. For many, the city building gaming genre begins and ends with the SimCity series which is now over two decades old. Sadly the series has been going through a rocky time and hasn’t [...]

[Phone Review] Video Review of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus

Posted December 20, 2011 by David Pena

  The long-awaited Samsung Galaxy Nexus is upon us finally, and I was lucky enough to get up close and personal with the device. The phone is pure awesomeness. It’s so fast and fluid, and fluid being the best thing about it. No lag between transitions or apps, which of course is to do with Android’s [...]

Game Review: World Cruise Story

Posted December 9, 2011 by Mark Dell

Kariosoft takes a world cruise to a land we’ve all seen before. Another Kairosoft game lands on the market still sticking to the same menu driven simulation formula made them so popular. This formula is just about as unchanged as ever, especially when compared to Hot Springs story which had the same task of taking [...]

Game Review: Trial Xtreme 2 HD

Posted November 18, 2011 by Mark Dell

Are you extreme enough to handle the extreme trial of Trial Xtreme? It’s hard to think of many games I’d class as a racing/platformer but how else do you pigeonhole a game where you jump a bike across platforms to a finish line? Even though you are riding on a bike there’s undoubtedly more platforming here than there is [...]

Game Review: Duke Nukem 3D

Posted November 16, 2011 by Mark Dell

Hail to the king! Duke Nukem 3D gets hit with the shrink ray down to pocket size. There’s few gaming characters quite as iconic as Duke Nukem and fewer that have aged quite as poorly, so it makes sense that an Android release would take us back to Duke’s crowning achievement: Duke Nukem 3D. While [...]

V6 SuperCharger The Android Memory Fixer

Posted November 2, 2011 by Tom Snow

There’s a tweak floating around the T-Mobile SGS II Development forum that claims to be the end all be all memory fix. I’m actually surprised that I haven’t run into this tweak before since people have been saying that they’ve had great success with it on the Samsung Vibrant. (Which is what I had before [...]

Game Review: Minecraft – Pocket Edition

Posted October 24, 2011 by Mark Dell

Minecraft has been a huge independent success on computers and while it’s criticized by many as not being a game because of its lack of any objectives, it is exactly this open ended and sandbox nature that’s made the game such a success. Minecraft – Pocket Edition is a highly scaled down release of the Java version available on [...]

Game Review: R-Type

Posted October 10, 2011 by Mark Dell

R-Type is a real blast from the 1980s past and is one of the granddaddies of the Shoot ‘em up genre. It might not have been the first Shoot ‘em up game but it was incredibly popular and has appeared on an obscene number of computers and consoles. The port to Android is very close [...]

Game Review: Early Bird

Posted October 10, 2011 by Mark Dell

Early Bird plays like a kind of puzzle platformer, you have a limited number of swipes to guide your early bird to the worm while avoiding hazards and making use of the environment. There are nearly 100 levels to complete over a series of different worlds that gradually increase in challenge and bring more objects [...]

Game Review: Dragon, Fly!

Posted October 10, 2011 by Mark Dell

For those who’ve seen Tiny Wings on iOS and have been patiently (or impatiently) waiting for it to arrive on Android then this might seem very familiar. You take control of a baby dragon gliding through the air, tapping the screen puts the dragon into a dive which makes him ramp off hills and back [...]

First Impressions of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc

Posted September 29, 2011 by Simon Walker

While the Sony Ericsson Arc is not the newest device on the block, it’s the first time I’ve actually got my hands down and dirty with the device.  I have to say that this is the most stylish phone I’ve had the pleasure to gaze my eyes on.  We had a quick glance at the [...]

App Review: Pocket League Story [Video]

Posted September 20, 2011 by Mark Dell

Kairosoft brings the management world of the beautiful game into your pocket. The idea of managing a soccer club might not be appealing to many readers but don’t worry about getting the overwhelming complexity of Championship Manager here in Pocket League Story. The simple menus and the basic routine here will seem very familiar as soon as you [...]

App Review: Muffin Knight [Video]

Posted September 11, 2011 by Mark Dell

With great muffin comes great responsibility. Let me get this mention out of the way quickly, Muffin Knight has taken a lot of flack since it’s release for its glaring similarities to the free independent game Super Crate Box, which was released last year on PC and Mac and is due soon on Mobile. The core gameplay is practically [...]
