    Rhythm Knight Review

    By

    I've always been a huge fan of the non-instrument based rhythm games. From Japanese import games like Ouenden on the Nintendo DS or Patapon on the Sony PSP to weird niche titles like Gitaroo Man, these titles have set the stage for an ever growing crop of interesting titles coming out on the iPhone like Rhythm Spirit. I'm lucky in that while I have no real life rhythm - as evidenced by my dancing "skill" - yet I seem to excel at rhythm video games.

    Reiner Knizia’s Samurai Review

    By

    In the board game world, there are a few big names when it comes to designers, but nowhere near as many as of the big names behind movies or video games. Of the few that do stand out, one could argue Reiner Knizia stands above them all. His name has graced the covers of many classic board games, and as time goes on more and more of his games have come to the App Store like High Society. Next up on that list is the classic strategy game Samurai.

    Jaws Review

    By

    Jaws has made a name for himself in making the ocean a terrifying place to be. Sadly, it's also instilled the same fear when the shark's name has appeared in videogame form. From the Nintendo Entertainment System to the Playstation, the name Jaws has caused us all to run away screaming. Luckily, mercifully even, there's a break in that wave, since the recently released Jaws for the iPhone is definitely worth a play.

    Aqua Moto Racing 2 Review

    By

    Ever since Wave Race 64 came out way back in 1996, I've been a fan of Jet Ski racers. There's just something awesome about cutting and slicing through the waves. After all, if it's done well, how is racing on a flat track anywhere near as fun and catching and riding a wave? Luckily, Aqua Moto 2 delivers and captures that awesome feeling of tearing though the waves.

    Martian Chess Review

    By

    It's a sad fact that a name can make or break a game. If you call your game Happy Funtime Princess Adventure, it had better not play like Gears of War. It doesn't have to be that drastic of a divide, though. Take for example Lunar Chess, which is a fun board game that has only a passing resemblance to Chess. People looking for a chess game won't get one, and people who don't like chess could pass it by.

    Ring Theory Review

    By

    Match-3 games are a dime a dozen these days. This is probably true of any platform, but for the iPhone it's even more accurate. As such it can be really hard to find a way to stand out. Naturally it's still possible, but it just means you need to bring a super solid game to the table. Ring Theory is by no means a bad game, but it's not really good enough to set itself apart from other offerings.

    Zombie Dice Review

    By

    I've always had a soft spot for press your luck style games. There's such a fine line between maximizing your points and losing it all that the temptation usually takes us just a bit too far and we stick around ever so longer than we should.Zombie Dicecombines this basic mechanic with the simple pleasures of brain eating (what, with you being a Zombie and all).

    Piczle Lines Review

    By

    I'm having a real hard time settling in to write my review for Piczle Lines, it seems I just can't concentrate. But it's for a good reason, I promise! Seems every time I think about what I want to say about Piczle Lines, I just end up being drawn back to my iPod to play it some more. It's getting sort of out of hand. (1 hour later) Doh! Happened again!
