    Monday Morning Quarterback: Do smaller publishers have more credibility on the App Store?

    By

    I was thinking about Chillingo the other day, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad. Chillingo, at least in my eyes, used to be a name that was synonymous with quality. There was a time when every game that they launched in the App Store was an event. But as they grew bigger and became more popular, it seems like they've outgrown that quality reputation that pushed them to the top in the first place. And it's all about quantity versus quality - or more accurately, quantity versus the perception of quality.

    Mystic Card Battle Review

    If the title "Mystic Card Battle" is conjuring up images of crazy complicated card games like Magic: The Gathering, don't worry - this game is nothing of the sort.

This is a simple game of matching cards and fake gambling, no spellcasting required.

    By

    When Gameview Studios released the Tap Zoo clone Tap Jurassic earlier this year, we were quick to point out that it gave players the opportunity to live out their fantasies of one day running Jurassic Park. As it turns out, someone in Hollywood might just have been listening. Ludia and Universal Pictures have just announced an agreement to create a social game based on the popular dinosaur theme park franchise.

    As my four and six year old daughters would be happy to tell you, there's always room for another virtual pet game in the App Store. Heck, that's what keeps entertainment apps like Talking Ben the Dog and Talking Zombo the Zombie so popular - kids simply can't get enough of them. Ubisoft tried their hand at the phenomenon back in 2009 with the release of Rabbids Go Phone. Now it looks like the Rabbids are getting ready to invade your phone... again!
