    Bubble Ball Review

    By

    Maybe you've heard this kind of Cinderella story before: A Utah-based eighth grader named Robert Nay has created an app that, somehow, has become a sensation on the App Store. It's even spending some time at the top of the free apps chart. If you're looking for a review that echoes the feel-good story here… well, please don't send me hate mail. Bubble Ball is okay, but its popularity seems spurred more by its maker than its contents.

    Flying Hamster Review

    By

    Parodying a game genre is nothing new. However, there are an awful lot of bad parodies out there - particularly those that try too hard. One of the best examples of a good parody was Parodius, a parody of a seminal space shooter called Gradius (parody + Gradius = Parodius). And while Flying Hamster isn't built directly on the backs of other games, it does beautifully parody Japanese shoot-em-ups. It also happens to be a blast to play.

    Clumsy Bob Review

    By

    We've seen a lot of distance-running games on the iPhone. They're simple yet solid timewasters that are appropriate to their price on the App Store. I've been hooked on Rat on a Scooter for a while now, and still fire it up every now and again. Clumsy Bob doesn't try to re-invent the wheel, but is a fun diversion if you're into high-scoring challenges.

    Eggs in Space Review

    By

    If you're going to do cornball, you have to do it all the way. Fortunately, the developers of Eggs in Space realized this early on, and have pushed the cheesey factor to the extreme. It doesn't help the gameplay, but wraps this decent timewaster in a cool veneer.

    DiscoTech Review

    By

    We've had ball-based platform puzzle games for quite some time now. In them, we've used everything from marbles to encapsulated monkeys (a phrase you might never expect to type). It finally took develop D7 to realize what was missing: a disco ball! Too bad that the result, DiscoTech is missing a fair bit itself.

    Back to the Future: The Game, Episode 1 – It’s About Time! Review

    By

    One of the most unexpected franchises to be resurrected, Back to the Future was surprisingly turned into a new adventure from the folks at Telltale games (the studio behind Sam & Max and Wallace & Gromit). For fans of the films, Back to the Future: Episode 1 - It's About Time revs the fun factor all the way to 88 miles per hour. If you don't understand that sentence, don't try to play this game.

    3bot Review

    By

    The best thing about the iPhone seems to be bringing back old games and making them feel fresh and new again, taking classic concepts and elevating them to a whole new level. 3bot takes the classic Q*bert formula and explode it into three dimensions - and does so brilliantly.

    Table Twister Review

    By

    The idea of taking a board game with you but without all the bits and pieces is definitely appealing for families. Table Twister makes its best attempt to give you this, but only at the level of Hungry Hungry Hippos. The games are fun, if not short-lived and repetitive. But whether you're actually able to play them depends entirely on the device you're using.
