The Big Little Quest iPhone App Review – Keep on Walking

Monday, September 5, 2011

Long time readers and fans of isometric 3D puzzle games may recall Alone, which we reviewed way back in March 2010. The Big Little Quest is ITL’s follow-up and another isometric game, but this time with a style of play which concentrates more on exploration than on puzzles. The plot follows a young man named Axel, [...]

Waterslide 2 iPhone/iPad App Review – Flashy, But Not All That Splashy

When I was approached to review Waterslide 2, it occurred to me I didn’t recall Waterslide 1 (or Waterslide Extreme as I discovered it was called) and upon investigation I realized why – it was the iOS equivalent of an advertorial, disguising a an advert for Barclaycard with a throwaway game. Fair enough, but something [...]

Super Ball Escape Updated, Dropped in Price. iPad Version Out Next Week

We reviewed Super Ball Escape recently and rewarded it with a score of 4/5. This ball-rolling sci-fi game is a lot of fun and despite the increasingly difficult stages, rather addictive. We recommended you download it in our review, but developers Playlithium have sweetened the deal even further by dropping the price to $0.99/£0.59. The price [...]

Death Rally iPhone/iPad App Review – Racing for Glory

Death Rally is a conversion of an old PC game, but rather than being a straight port it has been treated to an almost complete overhaul. The game is a top-down racer with added weaponry and violence; and as you’d expect, the idea is to win races and take out your competition. The app is a [...]

Pocket Creatures App Review – God Complex

I never had a Tamagotchi, but there was at least one Furby in my past. The irritatingly needy fake pet was given to my wife as an amusing Christmas present years ago, and its plaintive cry of ‘hungry!’ still haunts me to this day. Of course, it was strangely satisfying to stuff your finger down [...]

Version 1.1 of Qwak Released, Gets a Bit Easier, But Not Much

We gave Qwak 5/5 when we reviewed it a while back and still play it religiously today, so we were keen to try out the newly released version 1.1 update. It brings with it a tweaked difficulty level, a continue game option, a wealth of new control options and an autofire. While we never found the [...]
