A lot of North American gamers were pretty disappointed when it was revealed that Adventure Bar of Wonderland Portable wasn't going to get a PlayStation Store release outside of Japan. Pretty much out of nowhere, though, the game was announced for iOS, under the new title of Adventure Bar Story. Even though the game's got a lot of people interested in its combination of RPG and restaurant management gameplay, the iOS port never quite comes together to create a truly great experience.

If World War Z has taught us anything, it's that when the zombies come, humanity's struggle to survive is not going to be an easy one. Now, you'll be able to get a preview of how tough that battle will be with Operation Eradicate, Skejo Studios' upcoming zombie-fighting iOS board game.

When it comes to fun ways to spend an evening, breaking and entering probably doesn't sit too high on your list. After playing Beat Sneak Bandit, though, you may want reconsider this. The game proves that burglary — combined with a little rhythm and a lot of style — is easily one of the most entertaining activities you could possibly be involved with.

It's got to be tough being the last of your kind. There's all that pressure to make sure your species is remembered and — hopefully— remembered well. Such is the case in BulkyPix's upcoming Lightopus, which is all about ensuring the future of your race and looking good while you do so.

FreshGames' Cubis series has been winning over puzzle gamers for years, but it hasn’t hit the App Store until now. Enter Cubis Creatures, the first game in the series to come to iOS devices. And it looks like it'll be so fun that the wait was worth it.

Back in 2010, there was a great little game that was released for iOS devices. It was called Infinity Blade. You may have heard of it. Last year, the inevitable sequel launched — which was almost as good as the original. Now, Infinity Blade Cross has just launched on DeNA's Mobage social gaming platform over in Japan.

2012 is shaping up to be a great year for tower defense games on iOS. Last month, we got the delightful Kingdom Rush, and now Elf Defense has hit the App Store. This new title has some great tower defense content, and it's complemented by the fact that this is easily one of the most stylish things you're likely to play. Needless to say, I really liked it. Odds are that you will, too.

I never expected to like Spongebob Squarepants iOS games as much as I do. I was too old to get into his cartoons when they first aired and — honestly — I found the character pretty annoying. But back in 2010, I got to play Spongebob Marbles & Slides and, well, I was taken aback by how enjoyable it was. Now, Spongebob's Super Bouncy Fun Time has come along, and I'll be darned if the game isn't even more addictive and fun.

World War II has never looked quite so adorable as it does in Lil' Sherman, the first title from fledgling developer Floppy Entertainment. It's an upcoming tank game that's got some super-cartoony graphics and, based on what we've seen, looks ridiculously cute.

Ever since Tim Schafer broke every record on Kickstarter, there's been a lot of speculation about just what game Double Fine would be working on. A lot of people were wondering if the oft-demanded Psychonauts 2 would be the end result, especially since the Kickstarter project was launched so soon after Markus "Notch" Persson publicly tweeted his willingness to help fund a Psychonauts sequel.
