    Magicka Review

    By

    I love Magicka the way a fat kid loves cake. I adore it completely, see my addiction with some guilt and know for a fact that it will inevitably get me killed. Of course, unlike diabetes, death in Magicka tends to happen with greater frequency and more hilarity. Best played with four people and easier completed with two, Arrowhead Studio's action-adventure is the textbook definition of the phrase "Hell is Other People."

    Celebrity Bodyguard Review

    By

    It's all about the sunglasses, the high-priced suit and the big, beefy musculature that comes part and parcel with the territory. Although I never was the right gender to want to take Kevin Costner's place in the Bodyguard, I can understand why such a position could be so appealing. Bravo Games' Celebrity Bodyguard offers players a chance to be such an immaculately-dressed person. Unfortunately, this 2D side-scrolling action game also pokes fun at every inch of the concept.

    Third Blade Review

    By

    Third Blade is deeply, absurdly addictive in the way all good mobile games should be - it'll keep you up long after you've told yourself to put it down. There's just something satisfying about it. From the gorgeous, hand-drawn visuals right down to the way you feel when the weapon you've been saving up for all this time cuts through enemies like a hot knife through butter, Third Blade has it all. Well, almost.

    The Next Big Thing Review

    By

    Never in my life did I think I'd encounter a lead heroine who would randomly spout nonsense like "Vegetable Soup" mid-conversation or threaten people with the fact she had taken a refrigerator head on. Then again, neither did I think I would encounter a game like The Next Best Thing. To say that Pendulo Studios' new animated point-and-click adventure is hilarious would be to miss the perfect opportunity to call it "completely, mind-bendingly insane." In a good way, of course.

    Air Penguin Review

    By

    As of late it seems that birds have been in the forefront of the mobile market, with Angry Birds and Tiny Wings soaring high above the competition. The question now is whether their waterlogged cousins will meet with similar success. Air Penguin definitely makes me think so.

    Anomaly: Warzone Earth Review

    By

    It's about two in the afternoon right now and I'm operating on about three hours of sleep. I'm exhausted and I blame Anomaly: Warzone Earth for everything. Billed as a top-down mixture of action and strategy with a generous heaping of 'inverted tower-defense' for good measure, 11 Bit Studios' maiden title is one of the most surprisingly compelling things I've played in a long, long time.

    Spazcon Review

    By

    I tried really, really hard to like Spazcon. Really, I did. You see, not too long ago, I used to be a code monkey. It made me think that Barry's caffeine-swigging habits and career-climbing ways would be something my simian heart could relate to. Coupled with its adorable 8-bit visuals and quirky approach, I was certain that Spazcon would be a sure-fire win. Of course, things rarely work out the way you want them to.

    Mos Speedrun Review

    By

    Mos Speedrun is going to make Apple very, very happy with me. For the fifth time today, Physmo's platformer has made me have to bite down on the urge to fling my iPhone against the nearest wall. It's going to happen at some point; I just know it. But I can't help but keep playing. Frustrating as it might get, Mos Speedrun is also a brilliant homage to the addictive charm of yesteryear's unforgivingly brutal platformers.
