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.

    If the App Store is indeed "the new arcade," then Retro Dreamer is an aspiring Atari. The two man team from L.A., artist Craig Sharpe and programmer Gavin Bowman have consistently knocked it out of the park with addictive retro-inspired experiences for the new era. Since their latest release Velocispidercatapulted them to notability, the indie duo has had many chomping at the bit for more. I'm happy to report you can stop that gnashing and say hello to Duckers.

    Say that ten times fast: GREE takes Moshi Monsters mobile

    By

    Call me old fashioned, but I consider myself a Pokemon guy. Oh man... when did that sentiment become old-fashioned!? In any case, I hadn't heard of Moshi Monsters except in passing until this news slid across my virtual desk. But 60 million fans and active players sure had, which proved more than enough to pique GREE's interest.

    Gachagate 2012: The rise and fall of card-based gambling in Japanese social games

    By

    You know the old adage, "addicted to videogames?" The one that parents like to bandy around when they want their kids to stop playing and do their homework, or when they're cavorting with other baby-boomers about the ills of today's media-driven society? Well it seems it carries a little more literal weight overseas, where the practices of some major social games in Japan have led to some absurd spending and - subsequently - recent litigation

    Oh! Cube Review

    By

    When I first started playing Oh! Cube, I hated it. I wasn't prepared for its brand of grid-based number logic, and certainly not in 3D. With a lot of help from my math-loving girlfriend (and a little kicking and screaming), however, I was soon bursting blocks like a pro. It's for that reason that I can't recommend this game enough: it creeps up on you, teaches you its ways, then makes you forget there was ever a time when you didn't know them.

    In every circle, there are certain things you should - for lack of a better phrase - just know. Play hockey? You better hope a name comes to mind when people talk about "the great one." Film buff? Casablanca should ring a bell. For those who play video games, Portal is one such litmus test.

Acting as a central hub for play and social networking, Ignite is being pitched as a Steam of sorts for the burgeoning genre of online fantasy, action, and multiplayer experiences.

    KOTOMON Review

    By

    When Kotomon hit the App Store, I literally jumped at the chance to review it. And if I didn't, you certainly can't prove otherwise. A game boasting dancing, monsters, and shooting from key members behind Q Entertainment's iconic titles Rez and Lumines? Where do I sign up!? Yet our fearless Editor-in-Chief Jim was a little skeptical: "I've come to realize that 'from the makers of...' always spells disaster on iOS." Oh well, what does he know? I thought, hitting "buy." A lot, as it turns out.
