    Fruit Juice Tycoon 2 Review

    By

    When I was growing up I was lucky enough to live through a lot of iconic childhood moments, though I somehow missed out on owning a lemonade stand. I starred in school plays, attended summer camps, and went on a slew of trips via my Boy Scount troop, but I always felt a little twinge whenever I saw kids in my neighborhood selling juice on hot summer days. Now that I've played Fruit Juice Tycoon 2 on the iPhone, however, I'm starting to think that I may have dodged a bullet; selling juice seems like it may be way more of a hassle than it's worth.

    If Godzilla films have taught us anything, it's that humanity and giant monsters just cannot place nicely together. Usually, games have us fighting the monsters; holding the line and eventually building up an army that can push them back. However, an upcoming game for the iPhone - Gobtron - will finally give players the opportunity to fill the giant monster's shoes.

    Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP Preview

    By

    Superbrothers: Sword & Sorcery EP captured a lot of peoples' imaginations when it was unveiled at the Game Developers Conference last year. The strange, haunting narrative and lovely, retro graphics were unlike anything else on iOS devices. Now, the game is much closer to completion, and it looks like it'll be a pretty spectacular adventure RPG when it comes out.

    Barry Steakfries is back, and this time he has a jetpack! Halfbrick has revealed their third game with the protagonist, Machine Gun Jetpack, and it looks like things are going to be just as ridiculous as ever. Possibly even moreso.

    Hunters: Episode One Review

    By

    Are you sick and tired of your boring 9-5 job at the office cubicle? Do you wish that you could use some high-powered firearms to work through those pesky anger issues? Do you look sexy in space armor? Then may I suggest that you join up with your local branch of interstellar mercenaries? The pay is great, the hours are reasonable, and - if Hunters: Episode One is any evidence - mowing down your enemies can be incredibly therapeutic.

    All Baboo wants to do is relax on his planet and live in peace. Of course if he got to his wish, Tiny Planet wouldn't be much of a game. As a result, Fabulapps has him facing off against evil alien invaders in what looks like it's shaping up to be one of the quirkiest, most enjoyable little games this spring.

    There isn't a more iconic RPG franchise than Gauntlet, but the game has yet to appear on iOS devices. Thankfully, German developer Smuttlewerk Interactive is working filling this gap with a new title for the iPad: Companions.

    Greedy Bankers Review

    By

    I'm not sure if there's currently a group of people more despised than greedy bankers. If there is, I'm fairly certain that I don't want to meet any of them. That said, I certainly enjoyed being as one thanks to Greedy Bankers, a charming new puzzle game for the iPhone.
