Derek Tillotson spends his free time wandering around San Francisco, forever searching for the best burrito in town. He hasn't found it yet, but the hunt may very well be the greatest treasure of all. When not eating burritos, Derek writes stuff and posts updates to his blog at derektillotson.com.

    Pocket League Story 2 Review

    By

    I should be absolutely sick of Kairosoft games. After recent releases Pocket Stables and Dream House Days, along with a few years of other titles, the Japanese developer should have been deemed a one trick pony. Fortunately, they do their one trick so well that any flaws and lack of originality are overshadowed by charm and fun. Pocket League Story 2 is no exception.

    XCOM: Enemy Unknown Review

    By

    When XCOM: Enemy Unknown launched on PC and consoles last year, it immediately entered the game of the year discussion. A successor to the classic XCOM series, Enemy Unknown is built on a foundation of turn-based gameplay, decision making, and the ability to let players play in the style that best suits them. Now that XCOM: Enemy Unknown has landed on iOS, mobile users can get their hands on what may very well be the best game on the App Store.

    Dream House Days Review

    By

    After numerous ventures into the mobile gaming space like Game Dev Story and the recent Pocket Stables, developer Kairosoft has released Dream House Days, their first attempt at a free-to-play title. It's an effort that feels slightly outside the Kairosoft norm, featuring ads and in-app purchases. However, the final result is a worthy addition to the Kairosoft family, though it lacks some of the detail that made its predecessors truly special.

    Pocket Stables Review

    By

    In Kairosoft's newest title, you can experience horses in all their glory. You'll build a ranch, raise horses, and enter races, with the goal of raising a Triple Crown champion. Of course, raising a Triple Crown champion is difficult, as there's been no American Triple Crown winner in over 35 years! Pocket Stables will show you that winning one race is hard enough, but winning the three biggest races will require patience, planning, and some luck. Good thing it's a whole lot of fun.

    Tribal Quest Review

    By

    Upon first glance, Tribal Quest may seem like an infinite runner starring a guy who looks a bit like Kratos from God of War and who sounds like John Goodman. That assumption is correct, though it tries to be much more. Tribal Quest is presented as a difficult game. A difficulty boost to the genre would be a great thing at times, but much of the game's difficulty stems from its controls and not its design.

    ScribbleMix Review

    By

    When Draw Something was released last year, its impact was unlike any mobile or social game before it. The game featured no competition, no scoreboard, and no achievements. Two players drawing pictures for one another was enough to make the game feel more social than most social games before it. Now, Disney has entered the drawing game space with ScribbleMix, which takes that simplicity of Draw Something and adds its own style. It lacks some originality, but it still manages to feel fresh and fun.

    Wordshift Academy Review

    By

    Using games as a teaching tool can be a powerful avenue of education. Gaming's increased role in educating both children and adults is becoming a major part of the industry. So when a new game comes around that aims to expand word power and teach fun facts, there's a ton of potential to be unlocked. Then, there's Wordshift Academy, a word game filled with facts and trivia, but plagued with a serious case of boring.

    Turbo Racing League Review

    By

    Turbo Racing League, based on the upcoming film Turbo, looks to rewrite the definition of "a snail's pace." Based entirely around surprisingly quick snails, Turbo Racing League is a kart racer whose focus is less on crazy items and action, and more on track design and speedy gameplay. It has a few painful faults, but its unique style is likely to entertain players of all ages.
