    Mr. Crab Review

    By

    Consider the crab. He wakes up and rides the rails, collecting arbitrary score items, rescuing children that may not be his, jumping on the heads of penguins. Back in 2007, one of the first games I bought for my first iPhone was MotionX Poker. It was the definition of a launch title- a proof of concept that did nothing but use the iPhone's accelerometer to simulate the throwing of dice. That's about where Mr. Crab lives.

    Stay Alight! Review

    By

    On paper, a lead character named Mr. Bulb and gameplay that isn't far removed from Angry Birds doesn't scream automatic purchase, but underneath familiar objectives is a challenging and aesthetically arresting game. Despite its miniaturized world, Stay Alight! stands tall among the best iPhone titles, refusing to skimp on polish, creativity, or style. The trickiest bank shots may give many a player pause, but few games demand continued dedication just to see their next stage.

Ms. Splosion Man retains its awesome and charm on your iPhone and iPad, but the additions to this port threaten to contain the blast.

    PWN: Combat Hacking Review

    By

    Unless you're off the grid, digital security is now a part of your life, and SimCity has made it abundantly clear that being a gamer and being off the grid are now mutually exclusive. It's no surprise that the next generation of games will place players in the hacker role more often, but Quadrilateral Cowboy this game isn't. PWN: Combat Hacking is more akin to a hacking mini-game spun off from a AAA title than something that approximates Anonymous wish fulfillment. Does this frantic digital tug of war reprogram your brain for fun, or just make you want to log off?

    Temple Run: Oz Review

    By

    The Temple Run series has been a runaway success, with Temple Run 2 being downloaded over twenty million times in its first four days of availability. It's no surprise then that there are pretenders to the throne. Pitfall, an ancestor without which Temple Run would never have existed, and even Sonic the Hedgehog have gotten into the third-person endless runner act.

    Major Magnet Review

    By

    The new rotund and big-nosed hero in town probably can't fix your plumbing.  Marrying gameplay elements from platformers both recent and classic, Major Magnet introduces a unique brand of traversal much more kinetic and demanding than touch controls can typically manage. Developer PagodaWest Games has built a vibrant and extensive game that remains engaging and varied. Already honored by App Store Editors and PAX East, is the Major a 2D mascot for the mobile generation?
