DEAD TRIGGER brings gorgeous zombie mayhem to the iPhone and iPad
Madfinger Games’ highly anticipated zombie shooter – DEAD TRIGGER - has finally been unleashed onto the App Store. First announced earlier this month, the follow up to SHADOWGUN brings console quality FPS action to the small screen. The story is your typical zombie affair, with billions having been wiped out and now you must find a way to survive the onslaught. The graphics simply look amazing for a handheld device, and we have the Unity 3D engine to thank for that. Aside from the gorgeous visuals, players will be treated with more than 40 hours of gameplay, advanced ragdoll effects, and even get to decide whether they want to blow a zombie’s brains out or chop them up limb by limb (can anyone say Dead Island?). Best of all, the game’s only $0.99 on the App Store, not to mention that it’s a very friendly 116MB download. By the looks of it, Madfinger’s got another massive hit on their hands. Full PR and video trailer after the gap.

Zombie Run HD in Review – Temple Huh?
There’s no question that Temple Run added a whole new dimension to infinite runners with it’s over the shoulder view, ability to slide in that view, and cool mechanic of turning to continue down a winding path. There are even times when I’m playing Zombie Run that I think to myself how the game feels like Temple Run with a different skin. Zombie Run bears many similarities to its predecessor, yet it still manages to be entertaining in its own right. I’m not saying I’ve forgotten you, Temple Run, but now you have to share the spotlight.
10 New App Store Games To Watch [June 18 - 24]
Once again there was a nice variety of games to report on this week, and the highlight of the week for me was the adventure game Yesterday from BulkyPix. After spending just a few minutes with this game I felt like I was playing an old masterpiece from Sierra Online or LucasArts, but one that had been given an interface boost that makes it perfect for touch screen devices. The causal RPG fan should check out Elphis Adventure, a new free offering from Com2us. You take on the role of Red Riding Hood in an attempt to rescue your grandma by traveling through different fairy tales and historical time periods. For those that are interested in learning Magic The Gathering, or those that are just looking for another avenue with which to play the game, Wizards of the Coast offers up Magic 2013. You can sample the card based strategy game for free, but if you want to test your mettle against other humans you’ll need to buy the premium edition.
Get your fill of Dennis “The Worm” Rodman in Rodman FT
Quick. Think of several things that pop up in your head when you hear the name Dennis Rodman. You’d probably thought of the bad boy image on and off the basketball court, the time he wore a wedding dress to promote his autobiography, and of course, his rebounding prowess (for those of you who didn’t watch the NBA during the 80′s and 90′s, “The Worm” is considered one of the greatest rebounders of all-time). So the last thing to cross your mind has to be Rodman shooting free throws, right? (he is after all a career .584 shooter from the charity strip). Well, leave it to Tantrum Solutions to bring the former Detroit Piston and Chicago Bull All-Star to the iDevice with Rodman FT.

The Act in Review – This is awesome… it’s over?
Many gamers, myself included, might liken The Act to a modern day Laser Disc epic, and at first glance that seems to be a fair assessment. For better and for worse that is not really the case, however. Aside from the visual aspect it doesn’t play like any laser disc game I’ve ever tried, and it is far from epic. The kicker is that it was actually a great experience. Unfortunately, I was a bit more than surprised when it was suddenly over. Not that I didn’t see it coming, but I just couldn’t believe how soon it came.
Letters From Nowhere 2 HD in Review – Welcome To Nowhere, Population 2
There’s an old adage that says “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. Apparently the developers of Letters From Nowhere took that to heart, because the sequel feels identical mechanically to the first game. Thankfully that’s not a bad thing at all, as I have become just as engrossed in this one as I was with its predecessor. Since this is a sequel I will just highlight the finer points, but I suggest checking out my review of the original Letters From Nowhere, because everything pretty much still applies.
