    Castle Clout Review

    By

    Have you ever stopped and thought to yourself, "I really want to crush someone with a giant rock that I've just heaved at them?" If you have, then I've got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Castle Clout, a trebuchet-firing game in the same vein as Angry Birds has just become available for iOS devices. The bad news is that the game isn't nearly as awesome as its concept would leave one to believe.

    Push-Cars Review

    By

    When it comes to driving, we're taught that certain rules have to be obeyed. We don't speed around as fast as we can. We don't crash into other cars and buildings. We're taught to drive as safely as possible. However, as Push-Cars on the Mac proves, it's a lot more fun to be as reckless as possible.

    Wouldn't you know it? You've just finished baking your famous muffins and set them out to cool, only to turn your back and find out that the Lava King stole your tasty pastries. What's a fairy godmother to do? Why, recruit a slew of heroes and mythical beasts to get them back, of course! Hey, quests have had flimsier premises, and this is the start of the delightful Muffin Knight for the iPhone.

    Bounce the Bunny Review

    By

    If you've never had the opportunity to hurl a small, adorable animal through the air, you're clearly missing out. No, seriously. It's super cathartic, and the animals themselves love it. At least that's what Bounce the Bunny has taught me, and I have yet to receive a lesson from video games that hasn't turned out to be true.

    Bloody Bunnies Review

    By

    Are you a fan of bunny rabbits? It's OK if you are. They are, after all, adorable. And they're cuddly. Not to mention a lot of fun to play with. But, in Bloody Bunnies, the new action platformer from Mentalwarp Games, they have to die. If that sounds appalling to you, then you should probably move on right now. If you're still intrigued, though, you should still move on - mainly because the game just isn't that much fun.

    Bloody Bunnies Preview

    By

    If you ask any farmer about the most annoying pests they have to deal with, rabbits tend to sit somewhere at the top of the list. They chew up resources, get everywhere, and breed so fast that they're pretty much impossible to wipe out. So, as the upcoming Bloody Bunnies points out, the best way to deal with these four-legged frustrations is to get them to take each other out.

    EVAC Review

    By

    It's been said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. If that's the case, then the folks behind Pac-Man should be very flattered by Evac, a modern riff on classic arcade puzzle games. At first glance, it seems like a rip-off of the classic Namco title, but it's quickly apparent that this game is actually pretty great.

    Blast Radius Review

    By

    I'm not going to lie: things look bleak right now. All that's left of humanity is trapped in this tiny little space station, and our enemies are closing in on us from all sides. What's that? You just arrived on the station and need some money? How about you take over here and start blasting aliens in exchange for some cold, hard, cash. Here, take this copy of Blast Radius on the iPhone and start getting ready. No, really, knock yourself out. Don't mind me, I'll just on the other end of the hangar preparing my little escape shuttle.
