    Every game developer who has ever made a shooter for mobile devices has faced the same problem: coming up with a control scheme that isn't terrible. And so far, it's a problem that nobody has been able to solve satisfactorily. But Morning Star promises to change all that, thanks to a secret new control scheme that Industrial Toys President Tim Harris said is "very simple but feels really good."

    Marvin’s Mittens Review

    By

    Marvin, a young lad of indeterminate age, has lost a mitten. Fortunately, he has the time and the inclination to look for it, and a wooded winter wonderland surrounding his house that makes his quest both epic and utterly worthwhile. Marching through the trees, but never beyond the reach of his mother's call, Marvin climbs snowy hills and trees, discovers small animals and birds, and even stumbles across a group of elves - real, live elves! - who share his problem: They, too, have lost their mittens.

    Spellwood Review

    By

    Spellwood is set in a magical, wooded realm populated by all sorts of wonderful creatures, many of whom are kindly wizards. It's no surprise that it's also the home of the Spellwood Academy of Word Wizards, from which you, at the beginning of the game, are just about to graduate. But before you do, you'll have to defeat three of your fellow students plus the Headmaster himself, a wise old owl who does his best to teach you all you'll need to know before you set out on your journey.

    Reality Show: Fatal Shot Preview

    By

    The "Fright Reality Show" provides a bit of an unusual twist on the reality television genre we've come to know and love. To maximize the show's impact, participants agree not to notify their family members of filming dates or locations so that nobody knows what's actually happening, and more ominously, they also agree that they will bear sole responsibility for any injuries suffered while filming. And one contestant has already died!

    The Drowning Preview

    The setup for The Drowning is utterly intriguing. On New Year's Dead of 2011, 3000 dead blackbirds fell from the sky over Beebe, Arkansas. Nobody knew why, but before long it started happening all around the world.  Some people believed it was the first sign of the end of the world, but they were dismissed as cranks-until the end of the world came. Now, ten years later, you're a survivor in a broken world, scavenging supplies and fighting off hordes of horrific creatures.

    Primordia Review

    By

    The world - although it's not entirely clear which world - has come to an end. All that remains are the robots. Like the humans that built them, the machines eke out existences in a variety of ways; some in great, sprawling cities, others in hermit-like isolation. Horatio Nullbuilt v5 and his floating, sharp-tongued companion Crispin are two such robots, living alone in the midst of a great, lifeless desert. But when the core that powers the crashed airship they call home is stolen by a hulking, heavily-armed behemoth, they set out across the desert to reclaim it in a journey that ultimately leads them to the crowded, crumbling towers of Metropol.

    King Cashing 2 Preview

    By

    I won't even pretend to understand how this works, but King Cashing 2 is set to mash up the very disparate genres of role-playing and slots in a game that actually looks pretty cool. It's not the first time that this has happened--the "2" in the title is evidence of that--but while the original game was decent, the developers say they're using what they learned from that one to make the follow-up even better.

    Magrunner: Dark Pulse Preview

    By

    Magrunner: Dark Pulse is described as a "first-person action puzzle game set in the near future," in which a high-tech "friendly competition" between giant corporations descends into a battle for survival, and for the fate of the entire world. How? That's not entirely clear, but somehow the bright, clean world of the future is pulled into the bizarre and dangerous parallel universe of the dreaded Cthulhu, and it becomes your job to pull it back out.
