Like a vacuous reality television star, the Android RPG Fallen Realms is pretty to look at and seems like it'd be a lot of fun to play with. But once you start paying attention to it, the truth comes out: for all its good looks, it's about as deep and engaging as a puddle on the sidewalk, and after a few minutes you're probably going to start wondering what you ever saw in it.

Francis Bacon may have taught us that knowledge is power, but I doubt that even he could have foreseen using one's awareness of the actual date of Pi Day to defeat evil. Yet that's precisely the concept behind Trivia Adventure, which combines multiple-choice trivia with familiar elements from fantasy-based role playing games. It works better than it probably sounds, although figuring out which audience this offering was intended for provides one of the hardest questions to answer.
Baseball and anime is probably not the most ideal combination. Most people that enjoy anime are not going to like baseball, and vice versa. Despite the odd mixture of themes, Baseball Superstars 2012 plays a surprisingly good game of baseball.
Last summer, Adventure Bar of Wonderland Portable came to Japan's PlayStation Store and snagged a lot of attention because of its premise — a 16-Bit title that blended full-on restaurant management gameplay with turn-based RPG battling/exploration. While PSP players in the West haven't received a localized version yet, the game is about to be released over here for iOS under the new title Adventure Bar Story. TouchArcade got to spend some hands-on time with recent build of the game, and it honestly sounds like it'll blend all your favorite things about JRPGs and management sims.

Nostalgia isn't worth much these days. It's easy to wax poetic about things you barely remember, especially when the world wide web can so easily give you an instant refresher course on that thing you want so badly to remember so you can tell people that you remember it. The team that makes up White Whale Games knows a thing or two about how to mine your past to create something good for the present. With some of the team having previously worked for BioWare, they're bringing that expertise to iOS devices next year with their first release, God of Blades.
There's been a lot of discussion recently in the mobile game space about the morality of "inspired by" design versus "straight-up theft". With the ridiculously high speed that the mobile game space seems to move at, it's definitely become something where everyone has valid opinions on almost every side of the issue. Meanwhile, us PC gamers that have been at this for a while are just sitting back and laughing, all the while pointing out that Blizzard's Diablo series knows a thing or two about having inspired more than a few games, as well as being the victim of theft. Prolific free-to-play game developer BigPoint is throwing their browser-based hat into the ring with their very...ahem...Diablo-esque MMO Drakensang Online, currently in open beta. We've spent a decent chunk of time with the game and are here to tell you whether or not you should strengthen up your clicking finger.
