Review: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12 for iOS

Posted on 08 Apr 2011 by James Rogers

In so many aspects of life, it seems that the simplest things to learn can often turn out to be the hardest things to master. I definitely found the sport of golf to be one of those things. The rules of the sport are so very basic when you really …

Review: Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner

Posted on 04 Dec 2010 by James Rogers

When I got my 3G almost two and a half years ago, I would have never have imagined I would be regularly using an iPhone as a mobile gaming device. I know that games were pretty much the first thing to take off in the infancy of the App Store, …

Review: Gyro Tennis for iPhone

Posted on 17 Sep 2010 by James Rogers

Tennis is one of those sports that can be difficult to translate to any gaming system, console or handheld. It doesn’t necessarily fit the traditional game controller. Developers have largely avoided the game on the current generation of Microsoft and Sony systems, but tennis came to the Wii with a …

Quick Look: Monster Dash for iPhone

Posted on 26 Aug 2010 by Thomas Wong

I wasn’t entirely sure how I felt about Halfbrick Studios’ new game, so I decided to split my regular Thomas self into “Tom” and “Ash” and held an awkward Q&A between the two halves to find out what I really thought: Tom: What’s the name of that game that features …

Review: Gravity Runner for iPhone

Pro Zombie Soccer features a campaign length you’d expect in a $0.99 title (one hour, give or take), but also the refined mechanics and polish of a game that costs quite a lot more.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within Finally Available!

Posted on 18 Jun 2010 by JordanP

After hyping up the iPhone port of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within, Gameloft encountered a bug with the game’s menu system when it was first released on June 3rd, and had to pull the game from the AppStore. They promised that the game would be back up “As soon as possible,” and two weeks later, it’s finally here. Fans of the Prince of Persia console series will be thrilled to learn that this iPhone version seems to be a full port of the original PS2 game. This version has 12 chapters (as compared to the original’s 25), so it will be interesting to see if the whole story is included, or if half of the levels are missing. In the time I had to play the bugged-menu version, I was very impressed with how true the game stayed to the original. We’ll be posting our review of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within in a few days, but until then, you can pick it up from the AppStore for $9.99 here.

Posted on 22 May 2010 by Thomas Wong

Halfbrick Studios, the devs from down under, have been hard at work on Fruit Ninja (review here). Not only do they have a ridiculous new trailer to share, but they’ve also released the game’s biggest update thus far. Limes and Red Apples are now on the kill list, and slicing …
