    Baseball Slam Review

    By

    One of the things I love most about video games is just how bizarre they can get. One day I might be the wind blowing flower petals around, another I'm a zombie-slaying samurai, and another I'm an interstellar bounty hunter who was raised by alien bird people. But when I play Baseball Slam, I'm a regular old baseball player. One who was shrunk down and tossed inside a pinball machine, apparently.

    MetalStorm: Aces Review

    By

    The sequel to Z2Live's rather popular arcade-style aerial combat game is here, and it's chock full of more dogfighting goodness. Things in MetalStorm: Aces are a little different this time around, mostly thanks to a much larger campaign, but there are still plenty of planes to fly (and shoot down). And so long as nobody's looking for a rich and meticulous flight simulation, there's all sorts of fun to be had.

    Steel Commanders Review

    By

    I get it. Games like Rage of Bahamut are quite good at making money, and game developers need to make money. But there has to be a better way than mimicking the formula. Steel Commanders mixes things up a little, so it's not as big an offender as Reign of Dragons, but it's still tough to get excited about playing what is essentially the same game I've been playing for well over a year now.

    Thor: Lord of Storms Review

    By

    Thor tends to get a lot of attention, thanks in no small part to his own comic book series, but it's not often that the rest of the Norse clan get to share in that spotlight. Thor: Lord of Storms pulls back the camera a bit to include other notables such as Odin, Freyja, Einherjar warriors and more, as they defend their home from evil in the form of a hero-driven castle defense game.

    Supreme Heroes Review

    By

    Pretty much everybody loves superheroes. Well, except for super villains I suppose. About the only thing people love more than talking about their favorite heroes is creating their own.  I mean, let's face it: "What's your favorite super power" is a fairly common question in any age group. So along comes Supreme Heroes to give iOS gamers the chance to create their own personal do-gooder with their own look and special abilities. Unfortunately, the experience is rather flat.

    Dragon Bane Elite Review

    By

    I've been mucking about with Dragon Bane for a while now; slaying undead, battling dragons, forging powerful new gear, and so on. In all that time I still haven't managed to figure out how I feel about it. There are some interesting ideas here and a surprising amount of unique elements. Conversely it also uses a very bizarre freemium model that dilutes the fun a bit. It's complicated.

    I am MT: Card Battle Review

    By

    It's difficult to get excited about licensed games, even when they belong to a proven genre. Not being familiar with the source material doesn't help, either. Yet, despite my lack of I am MT knowledge, I've found myself enjoying I am MT: Card Battle quite a bit.

    Blitz Brigade Review

    By

    Gameloft is doing that thing again. This time it's by bringing Blitz Brigade, the equivalent of a certain super-popular, cartoony, team-based PC first-person shooter to iOS devices. I made my peace with the developer's methods a while ago and have since learned to love their games for what they are: high quality approximations we'd probably never see on iPhones otherwise. However, when making an online shooter, it's extremely important to get the "online" part right.
