    Best Sequels of 2011

    By

    As much as we like to see new and innovative games, sometimes it's nice to return to a familiar favorite. Sequels let us do this and the best are able to make the experience even better than you remember. 2011 was a great year for sequels, with excellent new releases across some of the biggest franchises in casual gaming. Here are our five favorites.

    ForestVille Review

    By

    If you took CityVille Hometown and placed it smack dab in the middle of a forest populated with anthropomorphic beavers and bunnies, well, you'd have ForestVille. The two games play virtually identically to one another, which is to say that they play like slimmed down versions of CityVille. And while it's nice to see Zynga branch out with a fun new setting, it's disappointing that the very first original "Ville" game on mobile is simply a re-skinned version of an existing game.

    The Sims FreePlay Review

    By

    Somewhere between the The Sims and The Sims Online, way back at the turn of the century, Maxis announced a little game called SimsVille. It was, at the time, to be the next iteration of The Sims franchise and would let players control a multitude of families that all made up a single neighbourhood. The game was scrapped, and while most of its elements turned up in either The Sims 2 or SimCity 4, nothing ever really "felt" like what I expected SimsVille to feel like. Not until now.

    Stardom: The A-List Review

    By

    Stardom: The A-List is the latest free-to-play title from developer Glu. The simulation app puts players into the role of an aspiring star or starlet as they attempt to reach their dream of super-stardom in Hollywood. Working their way up from slummy apartments to luxury hotels, the game sounds interesting enough but comes with a central mechanic that is just plain boring.

    Breakout: Boost Review

    By

    Brick-breaking games have been around for years now, and there are plenty of them to choose from on the App Store. But if you want to follow the genre to its roots, you'll have to go all the way back to Atari's 1976 arcade game Breakout. That very same company is now revisiting the series 35 years later with Breakout: Boost. Sadly, though, not much has changed in 35 years.

    iDamaged Review

    By

    iDamaged is one of those games that seems like it should be able to do no wrong. After all, when you have giant mechs stomping around a battlefield, reigning hell down on the enemies scurrying about, this sounds like it's an instant recipe for fun. Somehow, though, the recipe never comes together in this game; instead, the result is a clumsy, frustrating mess.

    Tiny Places Review

    By

    Big Fish Games have made a big splash on the App Store in recent months, porting a huge number of their popular hidden object games to the iPad (and sometimes the iPhone, too). Despite this, though, they haven't really broken too much new ground when it comes to original, iOS-specific releases. And while Tiny Places is a very iOS-specific release, it doesn't really manage to buck this trend.
