    Seal Force Review

    By

    It's obvious at first glance that Seal Force was made by people who watched —and loved— cartoons in the 1980s. Everything, from the plot to the style to frantic action on the screen, feels like it's come straight off of a Reagan-era television set and landed on your iPhone. Oh, and the game's, like, totally radical and fresh, dude.

    Pets vs Orcs Preview

    By

    Forget knights and wizards. Dismiss rogues and clerics. Don't even think about barbarians and archers. Orcs now need to tremble in fear when they think of cute, fuzzy, and adorable household pets. At least, that seems to be the case with Pets vs Orcs, a new game that's set to come out next year.

    iDamaged Review

    By

    iDamaged is one of those games that seems like it should be able to do no wrong. After all, when you have giant mechs stomping around a battlefield, reigning hell down on the enemies scurrying about, this sounds like it's an instant recipe for fun. Somehow, though, the recipe never comes together in this game; instead, the result is a clumsy, frustrating mess.

    It's taken a little while for Rebels & Rulers to arrive here in the West. Originally known as Latent Dragon in China, the smartphone MMORPG has let over 5 million people engage in a sweeping martial arts epic, and now the game is about to be released for English-speaking users.

    Swingworm Review

    By

    Have you ever gazed up at the moon and longed to get a better look? Just climb the tallest tree around and get a little closer to the heavens? If you've ever felt (and done) so, then you know how great this can be. Developer 10 Tons seeks to capture this experience with Swingworm, a cute little platformer that never quite manages to feel as rewarding as the real thing.

    Six-Guns Review

    By

    When Six-Guns was first revealed, it looked amazing. Gameloft promised an experience like Rockstar's Wild West opus, Red Dead Redemption, except on iOS, complete with an open world to explore, crazy gunfights, and top-notch production values. In some ways Gameloft makes good on this pledge, but Six-Guns also misses the mark in a lot of places where it counts.

    OnLive goes mobile

    By

    OnLive's been picking up a lot of steam this year, thanks in large part to a fairly substantial marketing campaign and promotions like giving out free consoles at the Penny Arcade Expo. That said, the service has just come to Android (and is coming to iOS soon, pending certification), meaning that mobile gamers will be able to play the latest big-name video games on the go.

    Mailmen Preview

    By

    When it comes to jobs involving stealth tactics, "mailman" probably isn't a word that comes to mind. But delivering mail is more dangerous than you might expect, thanks to the insane number of guard dogs that would like nothing better than to make you into a tasty snack. Ayopa Games' and Sandstorm Interactive's upcoming puzzle/stealth game for the iPad Mailmen is set to demonstrate just how hazardous (and how fun) the job can be.
