    Final Fantasy III Review

    By

    Even if it's over twenty years old, a game can still be a ton of fun to play so long as it's well-made. Case in point: Square-Enix's Final Fantasy III. It was one of those titles that helped revolutionize the RPG genre when it first was released in Japan on the original NES console. Now an updated version of the game has just come out for the iPhone, and it's still a blast to play.

    Hello, Disposable Worker #42, and thank you for joining humanity's new energy harvesting operation on Evil Angry Planet. As you've probably guessed, your new work assignment is a bit on the dangerous side, so your paycheck will be adjusted to include regular amounts of hazard pay based on how many aliens you have to fend off while you oversee our latest mining operation. Please do your best to survive for at least a week, as the office pool is providing a payout to all of us who bet that you'd last at least that long.

    Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard Review

    By

    Up until now, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six games have been noticeably absent from the App Store. Honestly, that's a little surprising since the franchise has had games made for just about every platform. Now, however, Gameloft (which has a well-deserved reputation for quality shooters) has released Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Shadow Vanguard for the iPhone. Like a lot of Gameloft titles, the game offers a pretty solid play experience… though it does contain a few issues that detract from the overall.

    Speaking from experience, there's a pretty steep learning curve when it comes to snowboarding. The first few days are painful, full of bruises, sore muscles, and (often) a broken bone or two. Basically, there's a lot of falling down involved. However, falling down on a snowboard can sometimes be fun, as is the case with iStunt 2.

    If there was one undeniable law of the Old West, it was that evil gangs would terrorize the countryside until a mysterious stranger arrived on the scene to save the day. South American developer C2 Estudio is playing this concept to the hilt with Cowboy Guns, a new title that's coming to both the iPhone and Android.

    Traveller AR Preview

    By

    The Traveller pen-and-paper RPG has never been quite as well known as Dungeons & Dragons, and as a result the franchise hasn't been adapted to the video game market, outside of a couple of titles in the early 1990s. However the game is getting a new video game incarnation, this time as Traveller AR, an upcoming mobile MMO on the iPhone.

    Have you ever wondered what Space Invaders would have been like if it was crossed with the The Little Prince's setting? Me, neither, but I couldn't shake the feeling that Tiny Planet's developers had been wondering about that exact scenario when they made the game. As it turns out, it's actually pretty fun.

    Word Fighter Preview

    By

    Puzzle Fighter is one of those great, charming, games that people seem to have forgotten about over the past few years. That's a shame, especially since it seems like such a well-suited title for the new generation of touch-screen devices. Developer Feel Every Yummy is working on a project that will fill the Puzzle Fighter-shaped hole in our hearts: Word Fighter. The game is being described as Puzzle Fighter mixed with Boggle and Scrabble, which, in our opinion, sounds pretty darn great.
