After Earth Review
By Alex De Vore
Did you know that Will Smith summertime blockbusters have opened number 1 at the box office for something like, 75 years in a row? Yup, it's true. Even the dreadful Wild Wild West did well with moviegoers, but sadly, that streak has ended with the recent After Earth: an original story by Smith starring the man himself and his son, Jaden. The M. Night Shyamalan-directed vehicle—which has faced allegations of subtle Scientology propaganda— opened to low numbers recently, so is it really a surprise that the licensed iOS game would be similarly disappointing? Nope.Scurvy Scallywags Review
By Nadia Oxford
Veteran swashbuckler Ron Gilbert knows a thing or two about pirates. He created the classic PC game The Secret of Monkey Island as well as its successor, LeChuck's Revenge. Sometimes, though, a sea-dog needs to dock in a different harbor. Aside from its pirate theme, Scurvy Scallywags, a match-3/combat game for iOS, is a bit of a departure for Gilbert and his partner in crime, Clayton Kauzlaric. Happily, it's a fun game that boasts the charm of a siren chorus.AdventureQuest Worlds Review
By Nick Tylwalk
There's no shame in admitting that we all get sucked into the war between style and substance at times. The ideal is to find a balance, but sometimes games like AdventureQuest Worlds show up that are unabashedly fighting on the front lines. This free-to-try fantasy MMO plays right in your browser and serves up some of the coolest looking gear around, but it's often buried in layers of confusion and monotony.Kingdom Rush: Frontiers Review
By Joe Jasko
Hopefully, you've been able to pull yourself away from your favorite tower defense game for a minute or two in the last few weeks, to know that Kingdom Rush is back with a brand new sequel called Kingdom Rush: Frontiers, which brings us more of the same fantastic tower defense gameplay, while throwing in some new ideas as well along the way. So pick your hero, choose your towers wisely, and get ready to defend against all of the frontier's fiercest foes, in another excellent installment of this quickly growing franchise.Total Domination: Reborn Review
By Leif Johnson
Maybe I'm missing something. When I picked up Total Domination: Reborn, I suppose I was expecting features that warranted such a lofty subhead; features like a host of new units, real-time battles, and other assorted goodies that would distinguish it from its web-based progenitor. No such luck. Instead, what we have here is much the same juggle of city building and battle strategy that's already attracted thousands of satisfied players, all handsomely repackaged and redesigned for release on mobile devices. All in all, if you're into social strategy, that's not necessarily a bad thing.Color Zen Review
There's a growing tendency towards abstract, single-serving gameplay that is beginning to define the casual gaming space. As the ultimate renditions of pick-up-and-play, entries like Hundreds, Mosaique, and Blendokuhave dropped shiny gems and cutesy creatures for the sake of simplified, streamlined, and perfected puzzle mechanics. Although not a genre definer alone, Color Zen is a worthy addition to their shapely ranks.Kentucky Route Zero: Act 2 Review
The Zero: the mysterious interstate in central Kentucky that everyone seems to know about, but no one completely understands. Act I of Kentucky Route Zero introduced our protagonist, Conway, to the existence of the Zero and set him on a persistent path to find it. Act II follows up on Conway's discoveries and experiences as he continues trucking about the surrealistic backwoods in an attempt to make his final delivery of the night.Warhammer Quest Review
By Andy Chalk
When you get right down to it, Warhammer Quest is a fairly straightforward action-RPG that's set in a generic fantasy world. This is actually good news though, because despite taking place in the Warhammer Fantasy universe, familiarity with that setting - which many potential players, myself included, completely lack - isn't necessary to enjoy it. The better news is that you will enjoy it, because while it may not be particularly revolutionary, it is extremely well-refined.
