Assassin’s Creed II Discovery- Ezio Strikes again!
Rejoice Assassin fans, Ezio has now entered the App Store once again. Assassin’s Creed II Discovery has finally re-appeared on the App Store after an unexpectedly release several weeks back, only to be pulled shortly without warning. However, this time, it appears that Ezio is here to stay.
Ubisoft, Assassin’s Creed II Discovery – $9.99
Gold Keeper 2 in Review – Are you bad enough to be a demon?
Oh, my head. I shouldn’t have drank that much yesterday. It feels like my horns are going to fall off. And what’s that damn racket?! Arghh, those damn looters are in my dungeon again. Sigh… Time to go spread my claws a little bit. Oohh, yummy peasant hearts. And those ugly big iron-covered knights have stashed away some nice weapons. Ahhh, just what I wanted – now I can finally despatch those thieving villagers and show them who’s really the boss around here!
Spartacus: Blood and Sand In Review – No pain, no gain!
Games based on TV shows or Movies have earned quite an ill reputation on PC and consoles. A lot of cash gets put into the overall franchise marketing and the games themselves often turn out to be C class products. On the iPhone, however, quite a number of Movie and TV-show based titles have already been released and some have even received well-deserved praise. And I’m happy to report that Spartacus: Blood and Sand is one of the better ones.
Battle Blasters in Review – You can finally play dodgeball with lasers!
You’d better be ready to shoot laser beams at your enemies in this futuristic version of dodgeball. Battle Blasters is a great pick up and play game using touch controls to move your character, launch your attacks, and even deflect your enemy’s blasts. Read on to find out why this is one of those apps you should have on your iDevice for those quick rounds of addictive fun.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars in Review – Hail to the king, baby!
There has been so much said and written about the GTA series that it basically needs no introduction. On the iPhone, the concept has been tried a number of times – from the god awful (imo) Payback and rather solid Car Jack Streets to the downright clone Gangstar. And now, finally, the king has entered the App Store.
Heavy Mach 2 in Review – Putting the heavy in top down shooters
Heavy Mach 2 is a sequel to Heavy Mach (TMA Review) – a critically acclaimed side-scroller that went live about a year ago. Heavy Mach featured solid gameplay and an interesting interface using the accelerometer to control horizontal movement. At the same time it’s not simple matter of evolution – Heavy Mach 2 has been reworked from scratch and it would be completely fair to say that the only thing in common between it and its older sibling is its parent developer: IndieAn.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars – Jacks Its Way Onto The App Store!
It’s now safe to say that Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars has made its debut on all three major portable gaming platforms: DS, PSP, and now the iDevice. Though it’s unexpected, we iDevice gamers are a happy, lucky lot. Hopefully, Rockstar won’t pull an Assassin’s Creed II: Discovery scenario and yank the game from the App Store after too few short hours.
Rockstar Games, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars – $9.99
Piccies and more fun after the gap:
2360: Battle for Cydonia – finger fire coming soon!
Get ready for finger fire in Brisk Mobile’s new game: 2360: Battle for Cydonia. Yep, the badboys who brought us Fluffy Farm and Medieval are preparing to lower the temperature of iPhone gaming to cold steel. Battle for Cydonia is a touch-based shooter with a mix of tap-and-drag and line drawing control elements for frantic fire fighting. There will also be loads of missions and customisations/upgrades for the heavy mecha at players’ disposal. While our spies can reveal little else, we do know that it should hit App Store shelves later this month or early next. Oh yes, and that it looks hella’ fun.
Till then, enjoy the video and do as I do: salivate.
Guerrilla Bob almost upon us
Chillingo are certainly no strangers to highly anticipated releases at the App Store. The Quest, Ravensword and Minigore are but a few of their past well received and successful iDevice offerings. Well you can now add the soon to be released Gorilla Bob to this list. Reminiscent of the highly addictive dual stick shooter Minigore, Guerrilla Bob is entering the “polishing” phases and likely to be released in the coming weeks.
This is the odyssey of a brave soldier, who decided to take matters in his own hands. They call him Bob, and this is his game!
They were going to nuke the bad guys, but Bob gets pleasure killing them one by one. So he started his own war. Bob against the foes. Bob against everyone. Everyone that moves.
If you’re a fan of Minigore and its style of gameplay, you definitely need to keep an eye out for the action packed and visually delightful Guerrilla Bob. Gameplay videos and new screenshots after the break!
Ragdoll Legends in Review – Mister Miyagi didn’t see this one coming!
The ragdoll physics craze started back in 2005 when Mark Healey released his indie game – Rag Doll Kung Fu. The distinguishing feature of such games is that you control one or more hot-points on the character and the rest of it follows using common physics. There have been several games on the iPhone using the same basic idea, but none have yet been able to rival the success of the grand-daddy that started them all. And just recently Chillingo released Ragdoll Legends – the would-be contender to the throne.
