    iBlast Moki 2 Review

    By

    Are you a fan of Angry Birds? Do you enjoy quirky little physics puzzlers on your iPhone? Do you like goofy premises, clever gameplay and adorable graphics? Then do I have a game for you: iBlast Moki 2, the new sequel to the hit iPhone game from a couple of years ago. It's an incredible sequel to what was already an incredible game, and it's definitely something that no puzzle geek should consider passing up.

    Zombie Minesweeper Review

    By

    I'm not always the best boyfriend. I'm distant sometimes. Or I forget appointments. Or, sometimes, I say stupid things. However, I'm pretty certain that I'm a lot better than the boyfriend who appears in Zombie Minesweeper, the first iOS release from Frogtoss Games. Unlike this absentee paramour, I'm pretty certain that I've never done anything as stupid as convincing my girlfriend to walk across a zombie-infested county just so we can have a romantic weekend alone. That said, I guess I should be grateful that this guy managed to convince his girlfriend to do just that, because Zombie Minesweeper is one of the best games to appear on the platform.

    Exitium Review

    By

    I really wanted to like Exitium: Saviors of Vardonia when I first started it up. The title promised to be an amazing, huge, and fast-paced action RPG straight out of the 16-Bit era of video games. After spending some time playing the game, I can guarantee that the game manages to deliver on two-out-of-three of those promises, but it's not so much "amazing" as it is "so-so."

    Bizango Blast Review

    By

    When Bizango Blast was first described to me, the phrase "first-person shooter version of Angry Birds" was used, which naturally piqued my interest. The fact that the game was built with the Unreal Engine made it even more fascinating. Was I going to see some crazy mix of Angry Birds and Infinity Blade, except from a first-person perspective? The short answer is "No. Not at all." Here's the long answer.

    If you're looking to visit Vardonia anytime in the near future, I've got some bad news for you: the place is in turmoil. Everything's falling apart because of the kingdoms of Arkan and Abylon, and it's up to you to control one of four distinct characters in Exitium: Saviors of Vardonia as they journey to save the day.

Thankfully, though, there are stars floating around all over the place, and he's just itchin' to take them out. Hey, it beats being bored out of your robot skull.

    If you're like me, you've probably wiled away untold hours in front of your computer mastering Minesweeper. But if you're really like me, you probably also sat there and said, "You know what this needs? A story. And zombies." Good news: this is finally happening thanks to Frogtoss Games' first iOS release, Zombie Minesweeper: A Love Story.

    Fortix 2 Review

    By

    Contrary to popular opinion, it turns out that enchanted swords and magic wands aren't the best way to fight dragons and other monsters of legend. Believe it or not, the best weapon is apparently a simple fence. Yes, once these beasties are surrounded by nothing more than some cyclone fencing, they no longer pose any sort of threat to hapless civilians or brave heroes. Dragons, it turns out, are kinda stupid. Or, at least, they are in Fortix 2.
