Hope: The Other Side of Adventure Review
Have you ever wondered what Princess Zelda was going through while she desperately waited for Link to come to her rescue? Maybe you have, and maybe you haven't, but I'd like to believe that if handled properly, her story could make for an interesting twist on the classic tale of the hero's journey. Unfortunately, Hope: The Other Side of Adventure takes what could have made for a groundbreaking and empowering experience, and utterly destroys it by substituting community theater-level soliloquy and angst for compelling gameplay.The Veil of Mystery: Seven Little Gnomes Review
By John Anthony
Come in, come in from the cold rain! There's nothing strange inside this old curiosity shop. Nothing at all. Not even a legend about seven gnomes who hold a mysterious treasure in a hidden chamber deep below Edward J. Smith's estate! The Veil of Mystery: Seven Little Gnomes presents a setting split between a fairy tale and a dark and sinister world, all with plenty of hidden object scenes to keep your cursor on the move.The Night of the Rabbit Review
Jeremiah Hazelnut is a typical twelve-year-old boy: he loves comic books, blackberry pie, and going on adventures in the woods near his home. Jerry dreams of becoming a master magician some day, and while he is old enough to question the world around him, he's youthful enough to believe in the existence of real magic. On his second to last day of summer vacation, a day when "anything is possible," Jerry's dream begins to come true.Expedition Mars Review
By Joe Jasko
I'll be honest, before I started playing Expedition Mars, I didn't know anything about the game other than its title, and the fact that it was coming from the same people behind the intriguing point-and-click adventure Hypnosis. But in a way, I feel like this lack of information actually allowed me to enjoy this engrossing point-and-click adventure all the more, as Expedition Mars turns out to be a game that's all about discovery, and making those discoveries completely on your own.Rush Bros. Review
By Mike Rose
If I told you that Rush Bros. took the platforming style of Super Meat Boy, with traps generated based on the music tracks you import into the game - plus a multiplayer mode reminiscent of Sonic 2 - then you may well jump onto the opportunity without reading the rest of this review. But that would be an unwise move, as Rush Bros. doesn't exactly deliver on its promise. There's definite potential in the level design and the focus on speed runs, but the controls simply aren't tight enough, and the music import feature is pretty flaky.Imperium: Galactic War Review
By Leif Johnson
It must be tough to be a Thanerian. When you look precisely like the subjects in C.M. Coolidge's kitschy paintings of dogs playing poker, it's perhaps inevitable that your comrades will introduce you as the "lapdogs" of the Intergalactic Alliance. That's not to say that the mutt men don't encourage it themselves; later, after they've won a battle against one of the other factions in space, they announce that they won't "roll over for the rabble of the universe." This kind of dorky humor weaves itself into most aspects of Imperium: Galactic War, and when you couple it with real time space battles that encourage the use of actual strategy, the result is a city building/strategy sim that stands out from its increasingly numerous competition.Combo Crew Review
By David Oxford
Combo Crew is something of a love letter to the beat 'em ups and brawlers of the late 80's and early 90's, as the influence of games such as Double Dragon, Final Fight, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is clearly apparent. That said, Combo Crew doesn't simply copy the formula, but rather uses it as a starting point to make something unique and arguably better suited for the iPhone.Epic Review
By Nadia Oxford
Throughout the history of kids' cinema, there's always been some grungy bad guy who's constantly harshin' on Mother Nature. The forces of pollution are at it again in Epic, an iOS game based on the recent animated movie by Blue Sky Studios. Like the film it's based on, Epic is pretty to look at, and its world is fun to visit for a time, but you've been down this particular stretch of forest over, and over, and over again.
