    Shadowgun Review

    By

    Madfinger's Shadowgun wants to be Gears of War so bad that it can taste it. In many ways, it succeeds in this noble ambition. It's got a gritty sci-fi setting. It's got lots of action. It's got a totally over-the-top plot. It's got the ridiculous amounts of gunplay. But what doesn't it have? Well, it doesn't quite have the level of polish that it needs to meet its goal.

    Where’s My Water? Review

    By

    Remember all of those rumors about how there are alligators living in the sewers? It turns out they're all true. But the alligators don't actually want to crawl out of your toilet and eat you; quite the opposite. In fact, all these scaly guys are really trying to do is get clean. At least, that's what I've learned from Disney's new iOS physics puzzler, Where's My Water? Oh, and that there's very little that's more fun than playing with alligators on a regular basis.

    Greedy Bankers vs The World Review

    By

    Greedy Bankers was a surprising treat when it was released on the App Store back in February. Not only did it feature some great puzzle gameplay, but it also contained a lot more charm than many big-budget iPhone games. Now, we have Greedy Bankers vs. The World, a beefed-up pseudo-sequel for the iPad. This updated (literally) larger title has a slew of new features but it still manages to provide all the fun of the original.

    It's not easy being space robot C.L.A.W.D. (Clamping Long-Arm Winch Device). Not only does he have to rescue astronauts who are stuck floating helplessly through space and harvest "space crystals" (just you wait, these things are going to be huge when they hit jewelry stores across the galaxy), but now he has to fight aliens, too. Thankfully he'll have your help, as you'll be directing him in Rocket Claw, a soon-to-be released iPhone game from Fugazo.

    Happy Hills Review

    By

    Welcome, fair traveler, to the land of Happy Hills! As you can see, this is a place that everyone will love, once we're able to get rid of those gosh-darned blocks sitting on our hills and literally keeping them down. If you'd be willing to help us get rid of those things, we'd be eternally grateful, and we'll even let you remove them as violently as possible. Hey, if we're going to saddle you with a pest-removal gig, we might as well let you have some fun doing it.

    Fruity Frogs Review

    By

    When I die, I'm coming back as a frog. No, wait! Bear with me, here. Frogs lead a pretty charmed life, all things considered. They laze around all day sunning themselves, and get tadpoles to feed them bits of fruit that people have conveniently left lying around. What's that? You don't think this is true? It must be, because that's the lesson I learned from Fruity Frogs on the iPhone, and these amphibians looked like they were having a much better time being fed than I was having feeding them.
