The Big Little Quest iPhone App Review – Keep on Walking

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, [...]

Having already tried out and really liked the Ciderz case from Bodyguardz, I was very pleased to be offered the opportunity to review the company’s other iPhone 4 case, the Shelter. The Ciderz is a Bumper-style edge-case which has become one of my go-to cases since writing my review, and was in fact on my [...]

American Classic Cars Guide iPhone/iPad App Review – Not Enough Vroom Vroom

I’ve looked at a couple of Jourist’s guide apps before, their Twentieth Century Small Arms Guide for example, which was passably interesting, however if any of their catalog is likely to impress me it’s one on classic American cars. On my bookshelf sits a very well-thumbed copy of the Standard Guide to American Muscle Cars, [...]

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 [...]

It even continued its difficult journey by launching this morning, disappearing and then re-emerging a few hours later! Now the VoIP app is finally here, has it been worth the wait?

Battle Squadron’s iTunes Rating Soars, Updates Confirmed

If anyone out there needed proof that putting in months of work converting a ‘retro’ game to iOS was worth it, then Cope-Com’s Battle Squadron is it. I had the pleasure of being involved with the beta testing, and my review reflects just how good I think the game is; but it’s always refreshing to [...]

Wooords iPhone/iPad App Review – One Word: Gem!

What is it about puzzle games involving words? This simple concept has been used time and time again, with varying degrees of success, but we never seem to have tired of it. Wooords is the latest word-challenge game to hit iOS, and I happened to catch news of its release in a press release late [...]

Reckless Getaway iPhone App Review and Video – Chargin’ and Challengin’

From the team which gave us Reckless Racing comes another arcade driving game, Reckless Getaway; but here, instead of racing opponents around a track, the idea here is that you’re a getaway driver trying to outrun the police along a pre-determined route. Along the way you must collect coins to unlock new levels, plus there [...]
