    Diner Dash infographic proves the App Store is the place to be

    By

    Over the last year or so, we've done a fair bit of reporting on the importance of diversification in the casual games market. The days when a developer can rely solely on the profits of PC games, it would seem, have more or less come to an end. PlayFirst seemed to recognize this earlier than anyone else, and quickly jumped into the emerging mobile games market three years ago, putting Diner Dash on the App Store shortly after it first launched.

    If you're someone who grew up in the 1980's, there's no doubt that you know who Michael Winslow is. Maybe not by name. but if I told you he's the sound effects guy in the Police Academy series. I can assume that your face just lit up at the recognition. quickly followed by the thought: "So what's he up to these days?" Well, I'm happy to report that he's doing sound effects for an upcoming fantasy arcade shooter called Wizard Ops. Why they left this fact until the last sentence of the press release, I'll never know.

    Cradle of Egypt Review

    Oh match-3 games, how can you be so addicting even though you all basically play the same way? It seems no matter how many of them I play I just keep getting sucked in over and over.Cradle of Egyptis really no different; in fact it's very much the same, actually. But in spite of it really just retreading familiar territory (or maybe because of it), I found myself once again sinking more than a few hours into the game.

    Halloween: Trick or Treat Review

    By

    Well kids, it's almost Halloween and you know what that means—spooky tricks, piles of treats and the inevitable release of bad Halloween-themed video games. Every year publishers try to bank on our holiday fervor by getting us to spend money on themed entertainment. Unfortunately, the quality of these offerings in general, just isn't very good. In keeping with this disappointing trend, developer Casual Arts brings us Halloween: Trick or Treat, a textbook example of cynically conceived, carelessly made, holiday-exploiting, interactive dreck.

    Hamster Cannon Review

    By

    Let's be honest about something: If you ever owned a hamster (or any other small rodent), there was a least one time when you fantasized about dressing them up in little outfits and making them look even more adorable than they already were. Don't even bother trying to deny this— we all did it. Of course, 99% of us weren't able to take these dreams any further than idly sketching them out on paper, but the new game Hamster Cannon provides an opportunity to see just what said hamsters would've looked like in goofy little outfits… and then, y'know, shot out of an equally tiny cannon.

    One of my biggest gripes in recent years is that Konami still hasn't brought a proper Castlevania game to the iOS platform. The series has already proven itself a mobile success time and again through countless GameBoy Advance and Nintendo DS releases, but for some reason Konami hasn't mustered up the courage to bring the formula to the App Store. Drag your feet too long, though, and somebody else will always beat you to it. Such is the case with Dark Incursion, a game that draws great inspiration from the Castlevania formula, yet isn't without a few tricks of its own.

    Monday Morning Quarterback: Will the next FarmVille-style hit be a Hidden Object Game?

    Two weeks ago, Zynga invited the press to check out its new office and get a sneak peak on its upcoming games and projects.Lost amidst the announcements around Project Z (a Facebook-based social games network that I am not even sure Zynga fully gets what its all about) to upcoming game launches of CastleVille (CityVille meets a RPG with a touch of Shrek, very cool) and a slew of casino style and mobile games, was the announcement around Hidden Chronicles, Zynga's first foray into the hidden object genre.Hidden Chronicles may do for hidden object games what FarmVille did for strategy and simulation games, making the hidden object genre the most popular casual game genre of them all.

    Mage Gauntlet Review

    By

    Action RPG's have proven themselves pretty popular on the iPhone. Whether we're talking old school classics like Secret of Mana or new franchises like Zenonia and Chronicles of Inotia, the top-down, story-driven action genre that was so popular in the 16-bit days has been given a second life on portable devices. Mage Gauntlet is the latest title to recapture that retro glory, and like previous releases from RocketCat Games, it doesn't disappoint.
