Amigo Pancho Review
By David Oxford
Amigo Pancho is the tale of a man of adventure, a man who overcomes trials and adversity to rise to the loftiest of heights, all in the pursuit of living life the way it was meant to be lived. And he does it all with nothing more than a pair of balloons.Oh, and your help, of course.If you're familiar with Disney's Where's My…? series, you should find yourself in good shape to help Pancho rise to the top of the world. But make no mistake: this is hardly a clone of those popular titles. Rather than clearing a path for water to reach our hero, your task is to clear his way of any obstacles so that he can safely (and with both balloons intact, preferably) make his way to the top of the screen. As it turns out, there are indeed quite a number of challenges to overcome. Needle-spitting cacti, spikes, cannons, jet intakes that will suck you right in, sword-wielding matadors, and burly luchadores are just some of what lies in Pancho's way. Using the touch screen, you'll manipulate the environment in many ways, from dropping rocks to block the needles, to using fans to avoid the spikes; from using missiles to disable the cannons and jets, to using other hazards to deal with your pursuers. It's quite involved, and very engaging every step of the way.School of Dragons Review
By Nick Tylwalk
With all the hand-wringing that goes on about schools to educate our kids, at least we don't have to worry about a proper place to send our winged reptilian friends. That's because JumpStart's free-to-play, browser-based MMO School of Dragons has that covered, immersing players in the How to Train Your Dragon universe while also dropping some knowledge on them at the same time.Just in case you haven't seen the well-regarded animated flick it's based on, School of Dragons is set on the island of Berk, a place where Vikings and Dragons coexist - though not without some challenges, to be sure. Your character is a young Viking who gets the opportunity to raise and bond with a dragon, essentially growing up together."As virtual worlds go, Berk isn't a gigantic place, though it still has its fair share of interesting places to see. There's the titular school, the village where the locals live, a beach, and some surrounding wilderness areas. The early gameplay will have your Viking undertaking various quests that mostly involve gathering or delivering items while you find out more about dragons and their history with humans.Fans of the movie are in for a treat, as the main characters from the film are prominently involved as quest-givers, accompanied by their trademark dragons. Hiccup, Astrid, Snotlout and the gang have a fair amount of voice-acted dialogue, and they're instantly recognizable since the game's art style matches its source material to a tee.Toca Cars Review
By Matt Thrower
Toca Boca has become a byword for quality in children's apps. Their games encourage exploration and experimentation, yet come without any hidden in-app purchases or other hidden nasties. Recently they've boldly started branching out into apps for slightly older kids, starting with Toca Builders and now moving to the racetrack with Toca Cars.Like all their other games, it's incredibly simple to pick up and play. You choose a racer and then start steering them around a virtual environment simply by touching the screen in the direction you want to move. As you drive and skid around, you'll encounter houses, traffic lights, trees, and other bits of scenery you can bulldoze over and push around. Wreak too much havoc and there's a simple button press to reset everything again.But you're not limited to just knocking things over: many of the things you'll encounter are interactive. Most obvious are various ramps that allow your little racer to pull off different kinds of spins and jumps. There are puddles of paint to drive through and color the world with tire tracks. Best of all are the other characters, an irate robot that pushes you away, a shy bird that flees and hides, and an enthusiastic dog who follows you about.LEGO: Legends of CHIMA Online Review
By Nick Tylwalk
Before we get into this, let's first pour out some adult beverages for the late LEGO Universe, a game that was beloved by my kids but apparently didn't attract enough paying players - including my kids. LEGO: Legends of Chima Online represents a second try at getting the no-brainer concept of a LEGO MMO right, and while it's not as imaginative as its predecessor, it's largely successful overall.TabTale Taps into Lucrative Kids App Market
By Joel Brodie
It seems like everyone is working on mobile match-3 puzzle games "inspired" by Candy Crush Saga these days, from Yodo1/BonusXP's CaveMania to Wooga's Jelly Splash. And there's good reason. According to Think Gaming Candy Crush Saga is crushing it, estimated to be generating $630,000 a day. But after meeting with Monica Warshavsky and Dana Cohen from TabTale at Casual Connect, I can't help but think that kids apps may be the way to go. TabTale may not be as well know as King, but if you have a young child, you're probably very familiar with their games. You just may not realize it.Hakitzu Elite: Robot Hackers Review
By Rob Rich
The idea of programming robots and such from within a video game is both cool and daunting. It's also been done both well and not so well in the past. Hakitzu Elite: Robot Hackers marks another attempt at the concept that's been simplified for beginners, but also offers more complex options for anyone who really wants to dig in. And it does a surprisingly good job of it - aside from the rough menu UI, anyway.SpongeBob Moves In Review
By Nadia Oxford
SpongeBob Moves In is a city-building game that lets you assemble a life for Mr. Squarepants. You know, just in case you weren't totally convinced that he does live in a pineapple under the sea. SpongeBob Moves In lacks polish and is slow and clunky at times, but its biggest sin is its price: the game costs $3.99 USD, but expects you to buy and dish out premium currency at the same pace as its free-to-play brethren. Talk about a monetization scheme that's worthy of Squidward's deepest frown.Mobile March of the Penguins: Chris Heatherly on Club Penguin’s first mobile migration
