    Le Havre Review

    By

    Le Havre is a worker placement / resource gathering game where players compete to gain the most fortune working in and around a harbor. Every player starts with a few Francs and fewer resources in their possession, then see how well they can grow that into an empire. The original board game is often ranked towards the top of just about any Top 10 list of games ones could find. Can the digital app live up this pedigree?

    Zombie Quest Review

    By

    I think I might have a bit of a bone to pick with whoever named Zombie Quest. Having heard the title I figured it was a RPG maybe, something horror related, me killing tons of zombies... that sort of thing. Consider me surprised when I found myself playing a board game, and nary a "quest" to be found! But non-applicable title doesn't necessarily mean bad game, so let's dig in.

    Soccer Rally: Euro 2012 Review

    By

    If you were looking for a game to exhibit what riding on coattails looks like, you could in theory point definitively at Soccer Rally: Euro 2012. The European Championships is a pretty huge deal, and second really only to the World Cup in terms of soccer spectacle. So it would make sense that a game would like to align itself with that particular event. But, if you want to ride the popularity of something the world loves, you really need to try and make something those people will want to play.

    Plague Inc. Review

    By

    It starts simply enough. A slight rash or a minor cough. Not enough to take a sick day. But breeding deep within those victims is a new and dangerous viral infection. As they shake hands, handle money and talk to friends they're spreading it around, and then those newly infected spread it around. Before anyone knows it, it's too late. It's running rampant now, and unfortunately the symptoms are getting worse. Paranoia, comas, total organ failure. In Plague Inc. this is considered a good thing.

    Extreme Skater Review

    By

    Ready for a game where you skateboard your way through dangerous locales gathering pieces of a fallen meteorite so you can harness its power for... something? Jump over spikes, grind dinosaur bones, and skate through warehouses. Extreme Skater doesn't seem to try and make any of that makes sense, instead focusing on the tilt and trick controls to provide a compelling experience. Do they stick the landing, or crash and burn?

    Zombie Ace Review

    By

    I'm comfortable saying that "endless runner" is a bonafide genre now. Canabalt was really the first one to break out; it hit the ground running (terrible pun review quota filled) and never looked back. While the setup is different from title to title, the point is always the same: travel as far as possible. There's no beating the game per se, just go as far as you can without failing. Zombie Ace has the same great trappings, but adds some much-needed complexity to the proceedings.

    Yggdrasil Review

    By

    Yggdrasil is a cooperative board game turned iOS app in which you're in command of an army of Norse gods including Thor, Frey and Odin. Your job is to fight back evil creatures from Norse mythology, like Loki, the wolf Fenrir and the serpent/worm Jormungand. Man, those names are a mouthful! It may sound easy, since you're in control of gods and all, but the denizens of Hell aren't going to topple so easily.

    Gunbrick Review

    By

    If you want to be a retro looking game and play in a 50 pixel by 50 pixel space, then really you need to be pretty simple. There's only so much that can go on in such a tiny spot. In Gunbrick, you play as a tiny square who can rotate left and right with the keyboard and fire a gun that sticks out of one of your four sides. You can't move the gun, you can only change which direction it's pointed by rolling around. It's a unique mechanic and it's put to excellent use over the course of the game.
