The term "cult classic" is used all too often, yet it's hard to think of a game that fits this description better than Another World. Originally release for the PC back in 1991 (and known in North America as Out of the World), it was a game that garnered critical acclaim for its unique gameplay and storytelling, but somehow didn't have the long-term "stickiness" of other '91 video game hits like Sonic the Hedgehog or Street Fighter II. Still, there are a lot of gamers who hold a special place in their heart for Another World. Lucky for us, the fine folks at BulkyPix, DotEmu, and the game's original creator Eric Chahi have come together to deliver Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition for the iPhone and iPad.
The first hidden object adventure I ever awarded a perfect score was Mystery Legends: Phantom of the Opera, which still stands as the single finest hidden object game I've ever played. So when Mystery Legends: Beauty and the Beast landed in my lap, I was excited but also a little nervous. After all, how do you follow up perfection? It's a tough row to hoe, but Beauty and the Beast comes tantalizingly close to pulling it off.
If nothing else, SkyRama proves one thing: a big airport is certainly much more interesting than a small one. And it's for this reason that the game starts out very slowly. Up until you are able to have multiple runways and hangars, the game can be downright boring. And actually getting to that point can take some time, which makes SkyRama an experience that requires quite a bit of patience.
First person shooters have gotten really complicated in recent years. It seems like what makes fun and why they rapidly gained popularity in the first place has gotten lost over the years: shooting. To have a first person shooter that focuses on action and shooting is considered "retro" these days. Well, my friends, I'm here to let you know that if you're looking for a "retro" shooter that bleeds action and spares no bullets then look no further than Flying Wild Hog's Hard Reset.
Youda Fisherman, a game that could be described as a natural evolution ofFarm FrenzyandYouda Survivor, proves to be a wonderful game that is mostly free of feeling of repetition and overly complicated controls that have hampered past titles.
While voodoo is a theme many hidden object fans will already be familiar with, Voodoo Chronicles: First Sign plays with the word by also making it the name of the main character: Detective Voodoo. Voodoo is called in to investigate the murder of wealthy bank owner Mr. Coins who, before his death, commissioned an expedition to a lost island to discover its secrets. Of course, something went terribly wrong out there on the high seas, bringing a curse back to the city, dooming all of those involved. As our hero detective, you'll need to solve the mystery before the voodoo curse can spread even further.
Welcome, fair traveler, to the land of Happy Hills! As you can see, this is a place that everyone will love, once we're able to get rid of those gosh-darned blocks sitting on our hills and literally keeping them down. If you'd be willing to help us get rid of those things, we'd be eternally grateful, and we'll even let you remove them as violently as possible. Hey, if we're going to saddle you with a pest-removal gig, we might as well let you have some fun doing it.
