    Penguins! Escape Review

    By

    Lemmings was a novel game during many a childhood, especially if you grew up in the golden age of PC gaming. It was a bizarre exercise in sending the helpless creatures to their death if you weren't quick or savvy enough to figure out an escape route. It was gleefully morbid beneath the veneer of cuteness, and offered multiple enticing layers of strategy across several different games. WildTangent's Penguins! Escape is a clone that takes the cuteness factor of Lemmings and ups the ante, by giving you hundreds of adorable little penguins marching along from a start point to an end point that you must safely get them to. It's nearly the same game, but it's adapted for iOS players and touch controls. And it's actually quite fun.

    FATE Undiscovered Realms Review

    By

    Comprehensive dungeon delving may not seem like a natural fit for casual game enthusiasts. Regardless, WildTangent's FATE proved the approach could work and blew the doors off traditional role-playing conventions when it debuted three years back. Given that the original was downloaded 4 million+ times, token follow-up FATE Undiscovered Realms was a given.Subject to similar drawbacks, neither fans of the original nor newcomers should be worried, however. While long overdue, this latest sword-n-sorcery romp nonetheless retains and expands upon its predecessor's most endearing qualities, making it a must-play for any armchair adventurer.

    Seven-year-old Seth sits at the controls of a miniature sub, his sights set on a banded octopus. He zeroes in on the giant sea creature and presses a button. Startled, the octopus begins waving its legs in a slow-motion gesture of surprise. Seth, of course, lets out a scream of delight. "I killed it!" he proclaims in victory. "No you didn't," I explain. "You took its picture."

    Blasterball 3 Review

    By

    Two types of forces drive change in this world: Invention and innovation. Like most brick-breaking arcade outings, the multimillion-selling Blasterball series relies on the latter to captivate and enchant. Three installments into the critically-acclaimed franchise, we can see why originality continues to take a backseat to pure fun and playability. Blasterball 3 doesn't do all that much new per se - it just takes the same, time-honored block-smashing formula you know and love and does it better.

    Penguins! Review

    By

    Once upon a time there was a popular game called Lemmings that challenged players to herd a pack of furry critters through an obstacle course of sorts without too many of them taking headers off a cliff. It was great fun, but these days penguins seem to be the popular creatures du jour; witness "March Of The Penguins" on the silver screen and now Penguins! on your home screen.
