App Review: Pinball Yeah!

The silver ball is not like it was when I was a young boy. Reports of the death of both Pinball and Interplay have been greatly exaggerated it seems as the Android port of last years Pinball Yeah! arrived in the Marketplace a couple of weeks ago. The game features four tables, unlike the highly popular...

App Review: PewPew 2 [Video]

The bizarre geometric shape war continues in PewPew 2 PewPew 2 is a dual joystick vector based shooter that feels heavily influenced by Bizarre Creations’ Geometry Wars 2 but it takes things a few steps further. PewPew 2 includes double the ships and modes from the original PewPew along with...

App Review: Illusia [Video]

The mixture of platformer and RPG isn’t a common one and while this small genre is perhaps best known for its Paper Marios and Castlevanias, Illusia has a different tone that might be familiar to those who’ve played Gamevil’s Zenonia series. RPGs can tend to be long games, so let...

App Review: Guerrilla Bob [Video]

With all these ports of iOS games onto Android it’s a pity that so few feature cross platform multiplayer so we can show our iDevice brethren who’s king. The setup for Guerrilla Bob is a ridiculous story of Bob and his school friend John who grew up on either side of the law and now...

Review: Isotoner SmarTouch Gloves

    Winter is nearing an end, so cold-weather gear reviews are almost silly, but for those of us that still have some snow or sub-freezing temps to deal with, gloves are a necessity. I recently picked up a pair of Isotoner SmarTouch gloves, which are designed to work with touch-screen devices....

App Review: Flight Control [Video]

Some jaded individuals might refer to Flight Control as a poor man’s Kennedy Approach, there’s a good chance those people are crazy. Flight Control might be one of the most stressful ‘casual’ games that I’ve ever experienced. Trying to deal with relentless waves of oncoming...

App Review: Bejeweled 2 [Video]

There’s little doubt that Bejeweled was the biggest puzzle game since Tetris, but now after over five years since this sequel was originally released, does it have enough to offer on Android? Bejeweled’s been around for a decade now and it’s solely to blame for the droves of...

Review: Parrot Minikit Smart Docks Your Phone and Charges It Too!

Parrot MiniKit Smart Picture (6) When I met with the Parrot P.R. people at CES and talked about the devices they had on display, I was very impressed with the Parrot MiniKit Smart car docking cradle they had. Originally we had gone to discuss their upcoming car audio systems based on Android, but...

App Review: Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus [Video]

It’s hard to set your expectations for a first person shooter on a platform that is almost completely without them. While the genre might be one of the most popular ones around on home consoles, the style of gameplay becomes rather stifled when brought to touch screen only devices. Despite this,...

App Review: Gangstar: West Coast Hustle [Video]

There are some styles of games that you just don’t expect to see on mobile devices, even the makers of Grand Theft Auto made their mobile version into a more traditional overhead game. Here’s Gameloft’s attempt at an open world game, it’s impressive, but the corner cutting is...

App Review: Worms [Video]

There aren’t many video game franchises that can trace their paths all the way back to the Commodore Amiga like Worms can. Since its release in 1995, Worms has appeared on just about every platform imaginable including, finally, the Android platform. At the core of Worms is an Artillery style...

All my enemies title

App Review: All my Enemies [Video]

Scrolling shooters have come a long way since they first hit the arcade nearly thirty years ago and each generation brings more; more power-ups, more enemies and more complexity. You’d think that this type of game would have reached its peak of innovation long ago but somehow it keeps moving...

Mini Squadron Special 2

App Review: Mini Squadron Special [Video]

Do you feel the need to shoot flying cats from your UFO while listening to classical music? I hope not, but if this is a dream you want to follow then you could do a lot worse than checking out last years Mini Squadron or the recently released Mini Squadron Special. What makes it so special? Well it’s...

App Review: Need for Speed: Shift [Video]

We’ve shown off several driving games over the last month but Need For Speed Shift is based more around the traditional competitive street racing rather than wacky jumps or drifting and while it doesn’t focus on realism as strongly as its bigger console brother your wheels will be staying...
