    Big Win Football Review

    Everyone loves dynasties. Jay-Z likes talking about them, and general managers of sports teams spend a ton of time and money trying to build them. Since most of us are a bit short on both of those things, it's nice that Hothead Games has come up with Big Win Football. Now, building your own mini football empire can be done from your iPhone or iPad, and honestly, that's a lot easier than working your way up to become GM, anyway.

    Zombie Ace Review

    I'm comfortable saying that "endless runner" is a bonafide genre now. Canabalt was really the first one to break out; it hit the ground running (terrible pun review quota filled) and never looked back. While the setup is different from title to title, the point is always the same: travel as far as possible. There's no beating the game per se, just go as far as you can without failing. Zombie Ace has the same great trappings, but adds some much-needed complexity to the proceedings.

    Hothead games have had a bit of a weird trajectory in the game making territory. They busted out of the game with the Penny Arcade game, then followed it up with Monkey Island alum Ron Gilbert's Deathspank. They then turned to iOS devices with Chromanoids and Bunny the Zombie Slayer. They've continued this mobile trend with their own take on classic number puzzles in Sudoku Rush.

    When Peggle hit the scene back in 2007, people simple couldn't get enough of its pachinko-inspired ways. Since then a number of games have tried to copy PopCap's winning formula. Sushi Cat, Dachinko, aYa-Manku - they all put their own unique spin on pachinko gameplay. Kickin Momma is the latest such game to follow in Peggle's wake, but it fails to do anything really unique enough to stand out.

    When I look at the calendar, I know it's 2011 - but when I look at my iPhone games collection, I can't help but wonder if it's really just 1994 all over again. Why would I wonder this, you might ask? Because customizable card games are back in a big way on the App Store, and I for one couldn't be happier. Kard Combat is the latest such release, and it's easily one of the best in the bunch.

    Cell Bound Review

    Every now and then, a game comes along for the iPhone that is simply wonderful. Hothead Games, the folks behind bigger-budget Penny Arcade Adventures and Deathspank games, should be proud of the fact that their new title for the iPhone, Cell Bound, completely fits into this category. This is one of those titles that manages to get just about everything right, and it does so with brilliant simplicity.
