    Doomsday Defense Review

    By

    While doing some research for this game I came to learn that Doomsday Defense isn't only the name of a Facebook-based tower defense game, it's also the name for the Dallas Cowboys offense in the late 60's. I've no idea if the naming was intentional or not, and as of yet I haven't seen a guy in a football uniform run through my gauntlet of destruction. Though, honestly, that'd be kind of cool.

    We've been saying it for awhile now, but the iPad is almost a required device for board game fans. Slowly but surely we're seeing the big board game hits make their way over to it. In addition to classics like Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride we're getting less known but just as respected games like Small World and now... Tikal.

    Chromanoids Review

    Chromanoids manages to be a game that's really not like anything I've ever played before. Sure, it draws inspiration from a few well worn sources, but manages to combine them in a totally unique way. It's a pretty unique game that I could almost endorse wholeheartedly. Sadly, however, it's not perfect.

    Glo Flo Review

    If you enjoy games like Piczle Lines or Trainyard, you're going to feel right at home with Glo Flo. It's a puzzle game where you'll be drawing paths to connect like-colored bugs on a grid, without crossing lines. It's a basic set-up that's certainly be done before, but that doesn't keep it from being fun. And yet, Glo Flo is more of a smirk than a full blown smile.

    It's not hard to see that we're about to be surrounded by augmented reality games. The new Nintendo 3DS takes advantage of it heavily, and it would appear that App Store has been in on the game for awhile now. We recently looked at Play Kalei, which used your pictures to make a puzzle game. Now Piclings does it to make an action game. But are we ready to play games with reality?

    DeckMake Fantasy Review

    By

    I've always found card battle games to be a bit of a tough thing to imagine in real life. Maybe we'd all be better off if we settled our battles with cards instead of weapons, but it's certainly hard to imagine, you know? Even in the anything goes realm of video games, it's just hard to picture a band of Orcs stomping around the countryside breaking out their decks of cards when it's time to pillage. Yet that's pretty much the setup for Deckmake Fantasy.

    Play Kalei Review

    Hidden object games have always been a little hit or miss for me. I typically enjoy them at the start, but over time grow bored once I learn the designers tricks and know what to look for. Also, there's rarely reason for replay, leaving these games as a one time play experience. Play Kalei, then, has seemed to drop out of the sky and break all those preconceptions, taking a standard genre and turning it on its ear. I'm happy about this.

    Bunny the Zombie Slayer Review

    By

    I've been a fan of Hothead Games for quite a while. From the Ron Gilbert helmed Deathspank to the criminally under-appreciated Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness series, they seem to be one of those groups that know how to make fun niche games. Bunny the Zombie Slayer is their first foray into the iOS market, and is universal for both iPhone and iPad. Do they continue what I believe is an impressive pedigree? For the most part, yes.
