Tank Domination Review
By Jim Squires
World of Tanks is, to put it bluntly, a phenomenon. While offering a different style of gameplay, I wouldn't hesitate to call World of Tanks as popular as other free-to-play multiplayer offerings like League of Legends or DOTA 2. And like those games, it was only a matter of time until somebody decided to take this winning formula mobile.The "somebody" in this case isn't World of Tanks creators Wargaming.net (whose own mobile version, World of Tanks Blitz, was announced back in March), but Game Insight - a top developer of free-to-play games for the casual mobile market.2013 has seen something of a change in focus for Game Insight. The company that was built on the success of games like Mystery Manor and The Tribez has been voraciously pursuing the midcore sector with releases like Dragon Eternity and Starborn Wanderers. Tank Domination isn't just their latest foray into market; it's their biggest and boldest gamble yet.And yes, it's one that pays off.Galaxy on Fire – Alliances Review
By Nick Tylwalk
It's been said that in space, no one can hear you tap on a touchscreen. Or at least something similar to that was once said. Anyway, it's relevant because Galaxy on Fire - Alliances will have you tapping plenty of times as you try to conquer as much of space as possible. With or without allies, it ends up looking and sounding a lot more fun than it actually is.If the Galaxy on Fire name sounds familiar, there's a good reason for that. The previous games sporting that name were of the action-RPG variety, known for their customizable starships. Alliances is an entirely different beast: an MMO with resource management that is best played by teaming up with others, getting it a "truth in naming" award if nothing else."The galaxy in question this time contains the Shroud Nebula, a previously inaccessible region where three different spacefaring races are vying for power. Each has its own unique racial advantages, and one looks a lot like regular Earth humans. You pick the one that suits your fancy, and then it's off to the tutorial.Your home system contains several planets that allow you to get a feel for core concepts like building and upgrading structures and ships, sending cargo from one world to another, and using drones to unlock single-player missions. In one of the game's best ideas, those starter worlds are completely undetectable at all times. So unlike games of this ilk too numerous to mention, you can't be ganged up on and have all your resources stolen and structures destroyed.Galaxy on Fire – Alliances Walkthrough

Galaxy on Fire - Alliances is an empire-building space sim created by FISHLABS. It's a major departure from the rest of the series, with less action and a lot more maintenance, which means that it can be pretty daunting when you start it up for the first time. Gamezebo's quick start strategy guide will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game."World of Warplanes Review
By Nick Tylwalk
Wargaming.net proved they could make a pretty mean free-to-play MMO with World of Tanks. But why stop with World War II-era combat on land when you can conquer land, air, and sea (insert evil cackle here)? World of Warplanes represents the second of the company's three stages of domination, and it's got everything it needs to equal its sibling in terms of popularity. Except for a catchy abbreviation, that is. I'm fairly certain "WoW' is already taken.As far as truth in names goes, World of Warplanes is right on target. It's all about 15-on-15 aerial battles, and except for a brief but necessary tutorial to get you acquainted with the basics of flying and firing weapons, it's all player-versus-player (PvP). If you're not fond of pitting your skills against other human opponents, this isn't the game for you."The controls are as simple to pick up as a flying game could possibly make them. There's no throttle (save for a boost button that can temporarily increase your speed), so all you need to worry about is your altitude and heading. Climbing slows your plane, and doing too much fancy stickwork headed away from the ground is a good way to stall the engine. Anecdotal evidence suggests the mouse is the preferred way to fly, but the game supports just about everything: keyboard, joystick, and PC-compatible gamepad all work.Like World of Tanks, the game features 10 tiers of vehicles from five different countries - the USA, Germany, Great Britain, the USSR and Japan this time, sorry France - that increase in power as you advance through the tiers. The matchmaking system is designed to get you into matches quickly with teams that are roughly equivalent and have planes from just two different tiers, and while it's possible to team with friends to ensure there's a familiar face on your side, most of your time spent early on will be battling alongside and against strangers.Tiny Games Review
By Matt Thrower
What do you expect from a mobile game? Something that can be played in bite-sized chunks, I imagine. Probably you're thinking about the quality of graphics and sound, about your favourite genres, about becoming absorbed into the minuscule world on the screen, if only for a little while.Whatever your expectations were, Tiny Games will confound them all.Tiny Games is not really a game. It's an enabler of play. And I mean play in the loosest sense: whoever you are, wherever you are, whoever you're with, there will probably be something here that entertains and delights you, and probably several things that will irritate and embarrass you, too."The app starts by asking you where you are. The free version only allows you to choose "Home," but options like "Road," "Pub," and "Work" can be unlocked individually or as a bundle, even if the price to do so looks a little high by App Store standards.Then it'll query for more information. Which room are you in, and how many people you're with who want to play. Then a couple of multi-choice mood questions like a favorite shape or desired level of violence. I'm not sure these have any impact on what happens next, but the app usually gives you a pleasantly cheeky response to your selection.Tank Battles Review
By Rob Rich
Remember Combat for the Atari? No, I suppose not. Well, it was essentially a game where two player-controlled tanks faced-off in an arena while trying to decimate each other for points. Tank Battles is sort of a modernization of the original; only now with nicer visuals, online play, and a bunch of ways for players to upgrade their performance. Unfortunately, the emphasis on premium currency makes it feel a little too modern.The single player in Tank Battles involves a series of increasingly difficult missions for players to complete. Each one has a total of three stars that can be earned by completing specific objectives (i.e. destroy everything, finish in under X seconds, etc.), and those stars will unlock even more missions or access to new gear in the shop. The general idea is to not get blown up while blowing up everything else, but sometimes the objectives will throw players a curveball and mix things up a bit. The basic controls will have players guiding the tank around a small arena using a virtual stick in the bottom-left corner of the screen, while tapping anywhere else to fire in that direction. A set of three item buttons is also preset at the bottom of the screen, and will activate whatever is equipped with a tap."Multiplayer is mechanically similar - what with the control scheme, wanton destruction, and small arenas - but in many ways feels more like a traditional deathmatch. Up to four players square-off and try to annihilate each other in order to get the highest score, while also keeping an eye out for random power-up drops like health and damage boosts. It doesn't earn stars like the solo mode, but it does allow players to compete for leaderboard status (and rewards), as well as some extra coins.Tank Battles Walkthrough

Tank Battles is an action-arcade game created by Gameloft. It's very reminiscent of the Atari classic, Combat, actually. Only now it's dressed up in a more modern style and features a fair number of customization options and power-ups. Gamezebo's quick start strategy guide will provide you with detailed images, tips, information, and hints on how to play your best game."Fates Forever Preview
By Nick Tylwalk
If it's possible for a wide-eyed dreamer and a logic-minded pragmatist to coexist in the same brain, you can find them in the mind of Jason Citron. You can hear both sides of this seemingly oxymoronic arrangement emerge when listening to him talk about his current company, Hammer & Chisel, and the game he's hoping will have core gamers logging hours of play on their tablets, Fates Forever.Citron's status as a visionary in the mobile gaming space is undeniable. As the founder and CEO of Aurora Feint, he was a bona fide App Store pioneer, getting the game of the same name into the very first wave of apps to hit the storefront. He's probably even better known as the developer of OpenFeint, the late, mostly lamented social platform that was purchased by GREE in 2011 only to be shut down 20 months later.With time and money to plan his next venture, it wasn't long before Citron got the itch to dive back into gaming. But as a self-described core gamer, he has a different goal in mind for Hammer & Chisel. He wants to prove that the same kind of experience that people have come to expect from consoles or PCs is possible on tablets.
