Real Racing 3 Preview
By Dant Rambo
Not everyone knows it, but racing as an institution is absolutely mired in existential quandary. With the many televised sporting events and video games out there, it's hard to tell which are fake and which are real. The team at Firemint took this problem head on with the first two Real Racing titles for iOS, and now Firemonkeys (a combined studio featuring IronMonkey and Firemint staff) is looking to do it again with Real Racing 3. It's a game so real, the word is in the very title!Galaxy Life: Pocket Adventures Review
By Leif Johnson
In case we didn't get the point the first time, Galaxy Life: Pocket Adventures wants us to know that cuteness can be deadly. The original Galaxy Life was a social strategy game that traded out dour, muscle-bound generals and deadly tanks for protagonists named Starlings who looked like Tribbles who'd suddenly sprouted legs. And if the almost two million players who currently follow it on Facebook are any indication, the stylistic choice was nothing short of brilliant. Now, the cute little balls are taking their conquests to mobile devices, and there's every reason to surrender to its charms again.Different, but not better: David Edery explains how Spry Fox sees freemium, monetization, and the future of mobile.

As a journalist, you often hear that industry events are epicentres for networking, meeting developers, and hearing interesting stories. Never more has this proven true for me than during the day before this year's Casual Connect, at a summit put on by the International Game Developer's Association. I went into the morning's first lecture - a unique one about learning from early failure - thinking I'd be covering the panel. Instead, I ended up digging deep with someone on it.Cloudstone Review
By Leif Johnson
Cloudstone is what Blizzard Entertainment's celebrated Diablo franchise would look like if someone dipped it in the same sugary coating that smothers Facebook favorites like FarmVille. The demons have been replaced with less disturbing foes such as gelatinous blobs, the usually cheerful setting stands in for the gloom of burning villages and the underworld, but its gameplay still relies on the furious and addictive clicking we've loved in Diablo for years. It's certainly worth a look if you like point-and-click action games of any sort, and it's relatively polite in its requests for hard currency.Band Stars Review
By Mike Rose
It was inevitable that someone would eventually attempt to replicate the glorious management action found in the super-popular Kairosoft mobile games. Since the very beginning when Game Dev Story got our creativity pumping, the Story series has been a phenomenal source of entertainment.Super Slots Review
By Nick Tylwalk
TinyCo is known for making tiny games. Not small games, mind you, but games that actually have the word "Tiny" in the title. That makes Super Slots, the company's new iOS release, a bit of a departure. But with some interesting gameplay twists, it could be TinyCo's biggest game yet. And yes, I owe you an apology for that pun.Running Fever Review
By AJ Dellinger
Once in a great moon (or, you know, every four years) the Summer Olympics take center stage. Athletes from all corners of the globe gather in one central location to compete for the title of best in the world. Oftentimes, the events that steal the show are the ones that take place on the track. The appeal of speed, grace, and sheer strength draw in eyes that try to stay locked onto runners as the move faster than the human body should be able to. That's the excitement that Running Fever tries to tap into. This fresh Facebook title is an up-and-comer in social network games. But does the game come clean off the blocks or is it a false start?Hollywood Spins Review
By Nick Tylwalk
If you're going to call your Facebook slots game Hollywood Slots, you'd better come correct with some high production values and entertaining play. Some homages to the silver screen would be nice, too. Does Product Madness deliver the goods? Will the inevitable Avengers sequel make a lot of money? (Spoiler for both: yes)
