    Drop The Chicken Review

    By

    If anyone doubts the influence the likes of Angry Birds and Cut the Rope have had on casual games, five minutes play on Drop the Chicken should be enough to convince them. That's not because it's a crude clone in any shape or form, even though physics have a massive role to play here. But, rather, this is a game that mirrors the aforementioned Chillingo-published classics in keys areas; in their structure, in their design, and in their sheer addictiveness.

    Wave – Against every BEAT! Review

    By

    Time was, video games were a bona fide home for the rhythmically challenged. While all the cooler kids were out dancing the night away, there was much solace to be found in a bout of Mario, or a spin on Sonic with a mug of warm milk before bed. Fast forward to the present day, and you're hard pressed to find a game that doesn't want to test your timing in some form or other - from taking on Dance Central on Kinect to the leagues of Tap Tap games on iPhone, if you're out of time, then you're firmly out of tune.

    Sticky Review

    It's with no small sense of irony that Sticky has the feel of an experiment that's gone ever so slight awry. The tale of two professor's vain attempts to serve up a solution to the world's impending energy crisis, the result is not the wondrous substance with enough power to keep the lights burning for the next century they were looking for, but rather a Sticky, round, orange blob.

    Fruit Frenzy Review

    By

    There are certain things within the world of video games that we've all become accustomed to. For one, EA will always manage to squeeze out more sports sims each and every year than there are actual sports. Secondly, none of our homes can ever hope to be as slick and sleek as the wonderfully white abodes depicted in Wii adverts. Thirdly, and perhaps most crucially, without several hundred new match three games on mobile a week, the world would implode.

    Monty Python’s Cow Tossing Review

    By

    Nintendo equals Mario, Sega equals Sonic, and - for large portions of outsiders, at least - iPhone equals Angry Birds. As such, it's not hard to imagine that business bigwigs with a big film or TV license to flog have approached mobile developers aplenty and asked them to serve up something similar, albeit with their particular franchise attached. For large portions of its play, that's exactly what Monty Python's Cow Tossing feels like.

    Mad Skills Motocross Review

    Ever been worried you might have forgotten how to do something you used to master day in, day out? "It's like riding a bike," people say - an especially slack defence when you think about it, given almost every one of us no doubt spent hours struggling to do just that, falling off and picking up bruises and grazes aplenty in our front yard.

    Grimm Review

    By

    You won't find many games that make rescuing a pram laden baby from the desperate clutches of a predatory man their aim sitting happily on the App Store. Were someone to read such a description without seeing Grimm in action, it'd be very easy to write it off as the wares of a madmen, its subject matter serving as nothing more than the perfect ammunition for cynical tabloid fodder. Quite surprisingly, however, Grimm is actually as traditional a game as you're ever likely to come across.

    Star Wars Arcade: Falcon Gunner Review

    By

    I can't be the only person who has spent many a moment attempting to replicate fighting off wave after wave of TIE Fighter attack by swinging around in an office chair, man-made sound effects accompanying every shot. The alarming fact on my part is, given I avoided Star Wars until I was 22, most of these re-enactments have taken place in full view of friends and family.
