    Dark Parables: The Red Riding Hood Sisters Review

    By

    Dark Parables: The Red Riding Hood Sisters is made out of the same stuff as most hidden object games, but it has a couple of differences that make it stand out like a wolf amongst dogs. For one thing, it adds a dark but intriguing twist to the old fairy tale about that red-cloaked gal who took the wrong path on the way to grandmother's house. For another, it's easily one of the most gorgeous HOGs you'll ever clap eyes on.

    Castle Story Review

    By

    A lot of kingdom-building sim games seem to have a common problem. They draw you in with early promises of being able to build your very own realm stocked with crops, animals, decorations, and quests. Then, just as you're really getting the hang of being a regal landlord, your allotment of energy runs out and you're forced to wait. Castle Story is another otherwise-decent simulation game that subscribes to freemium's most annoying rules. I should be able to play for more than five minutes at a time! I'm a king, dammit!

    When we watch movies, read comic books, or play video games, the bad guys seem to fill the screen or the page. We don't give much thought to the small men and women who keep things running—in other words, we don't really notice the bad guys' specialized employees, like the doctors and the pilots. How do they wind up with these jobs? As children, do they decide, "I'm gonna fly Mafia dons to all the four corners of the earth!" Pilot's Path, an open-world helicopter game for iOS, may give you some unsettling answers to these questions.

    Hotel Transylvania Dash Review

    By

    Like humans, monsters need occasional rest and relaxation. And like a human vacation, monster vacations sometimes go awry. We imagine that the consequences of a bad stay at a werewolf-exclusive resort could be anything from a bad review at Yelp to violently beheaded staff. Unfortunately, while Hotel Transylvania Dash doesn't do anything so drastic with its source material, it also fails to do much creative with it either.

    Northern Tale Review

    By

    Fiction books, cartoons, and even video games have taken liberties with Viking history, and that's putting it mildly. When we think of Vikings, we tend to think of a (tall) Tolkien-esque dwarf with an affinity for water instead of rock. If you want to learn more about legitimate Viking history, you should consult your local library. But first you should suspend belief long enough to play through Northern Tale, a strategy/time management game that puts you in charge of a few horned warriors.

    Currently, there's a lot of ongoing debate over whether or not dolphins, orcas, and other marine mammals should be kept captive in marine parks and forced to perform for hairless, hand-slapping ape descendants. After all, evidence keeps pouring in that suggests dolphins are sentient animals. It's a sticky argument, but regardless of where you stand, you don't have to feel bad about playing Dolphin Paradise for iOS. These virtual sea mammals exist only on your iDevice, and they are totally down with hanging out. Bring fish. Lots of fish.

    The Agency of Anomalies: The Last Performance Review

    By

    The Agency of Anomalies: The Last Performance is a hidden-object game that's centered around freaks, monsters, and show business. It sounds like corny county fair stuff, though your experience with The Last Performance will probably feel more authentic than the time you paid a carnival barker $5 to gawk at what turned out to be a shaved goat. In fact, The Last Performance is a genuinely unsettling and engaging game. It won't keep you up with nightmares, but neither will you easily forget making the acquaintance of a man with a snake's body.

    In case you hadn't noticed, most of the free/social game offerings on the App Store ask you to perform peaceful tasks, like farming or raising candy-colored unicorns. But sometimes nature calls on us to wreck stuff. We all struggle daily with our inborn desire to get behind the wheel and participate in an impromptu demolition derby. It's not an urge you can sate in real life because harming people and property is uncool, but at least Glu has you covered on iOS. Indestructible is a driving/demolition game that satisfies your desire to tear metal without actually hurting anyone.
