Eli has loved mobile games since his dad showed him the magic of Game & Watch. He can't quite remember when he started loving puns.

    Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour Preview

    By

    If you had to choose one type of combat in which to engage in today's mobile gaming landscape - either modern or ancient - what would it be? Ancient!? You poor, poor sap. Everyone knows it's modern combat that reigns supreme. And specifically, Gameloft's Modern Combat series of highly polished war fighters. For those looking to repent for clinging to the past, however, I have good news: another Modern Combat is upon us.

    Micro Miners Preview

    Micro Miners owes its existence to Markus "Notch" Persson, but not in the way you might think. Far from being one among the many blocky world-building sandboxes operating in the shadow of Minecraft, Jean-Philippe Sarda's fifth game digs deeper. Its muse is Miners4K, a little known java game developed by Notch in 2006. The result is something completely original; a gem excavated from the finds of the past.

    You did it. Whether by lining up since well before midnight, bravely battling your way through crowds of fellow tech. enthusiasts, or waiting lazily at home for the delivery truck, you did it. You snagged an iPhone 5 on launch day. You already know this thing's going to be a boon to your gaming life. But my if that tall, shiny new screen isn't looking a little... empty.

    JAM: Jets Aliens Missiles Review

    Where nostalgia is concerned, gaming finds itself in a particularly unique position. While "classic" films construct an iconic past and ask us to take their word for it, games both retro and modern exist on a much tighter continuum. Many of today's "throwback" titles find themselves paying homage to games we all remember clearly... some of which we still own. In this fine line between asking us to remember, and hoping we've forgotten, publisher Forest Moon Games's first release finds itself in a bit of a - shall we say - jam.

    Lili Review

    Lili is all about discovery. It opens with its titular protagonist making an unexpected one: that the island to which she's traveling in search of rare flowers is inhabited by a race of living wooden "Constructs." Gameplay, however, gives way to a much more unfortunate revelation: that not all that glitters is gold, and that lots of polish an adventure does not make.

    Pakkuman’s Defense Review

    By

    The grand illusion of retro games that few - including myself, very often - are willing to admit is that many of them were...bad. What are reflected on fondly as punishing, take-no-prisoners design choices were more accurately technical limitations, and more often, worse: calculated difficult spikes meant to keep butts in seats, and quarters flowing. So when I saw that indie developer Ido Yehieli (Tametick) had revisited Pac-Man to give it a little sprucing up, I wasn't indignant: I was excited.

    Kickstarter Picks: G.H.O.S.T. Chronicles: The Magician’s Curse

    Perhaps my favorite ride at Disneyland is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. With meticulous detail and theming of everything from the lineup to the attendants, it wraps you up in the creepy tale of a hotel haunted by the events of a fateful night during the Golden Age of Hollywood. It dances gleefully between reverence for classic films and for classic scares. Even if you haven't taken a trip on the Tower, though, bottle that feeling. You may just be getting a game that does the trick.
