P-47 The Phantom Fighter iPhone App Review – Prepare for a Challenge

Fans of retro arcade games may recall Avenging Spirit, the first in a catalog of Jaleco conversions by DotEmu. We reviewed the game when it was released late last year and enjoyed its unusual body-swapping antics and challenging platform gameplay. DotEmu has released another Jaleco conversion this month, and it’s the sideways-scrolling shooter P-47 – [...]

Battle Squadron iPhone App Review and Video – Flawless!

It all started more than 20 years ago, when my best friend and I would sit down in front of a 21″ CRT TV and an Amiga computer, pop the Battle Squadron 3.5″ disk in the drive and look forward to hours of fantastic two-player shoot ‘em up action. The game has remained a firm [...]

Pudding Panic iPhone Game Review – It’s Jelly Good!

Sometimes the premise of a game just makes you say ‘huh?’ and even after you’ve heard it a couple of times, it still just sounds weird. Pudding Panic is one of those games. Here’s the premise: nervous J. Jitters, a pudding, is trapped on a Ghost Train and he needs your help to get out. [...]

Hard Lines iPhone App Review and Video – It’s Snake: Legacy!

Oh dear, there’s nothing worse than something unexpected coming along to ruin your plans for the weekend. I had every intention of getting to grips with several other apps over the past couple of days, but instead of tapping their icons, my finger gravitated towards that of Hard Lines, a game which then proceeded to [...]

Jump Out iPhone App Review – The Great Escape!

Physics games for the iPhone are a personal favorite, but that doesn’t mean I’m not discerning when it comes to which ones I play, which is a good considering the amount of examples there are inside the App Store! Angry Birds (of course) and Cat Physics are two of my all-time favorites, and Jump Out [...]

Death Rally Continues Update Frenzy, Reaches v1.4

I love Death Rally and recently spent a long time playing the iPad version on a flight, where it helped passed the time brilliantly. Since my review the game has been updated twice and now, it has been updated again! Developers Remedy Entertainment should be held up as an example of how every studio should [...]

Greedy Bankers iPhone App Review – Greed, is Good

I’m always a little wary of games featuring gems or jewels, as they seem to only be included in yet another match-three type game that does absolutely nothing new. But there is always an exception to every rule, and in this case it’s Greedy Bankers – a game which has mercilessly eaten up my time [...]

Naturally, when reviewing an app I try to spend as much time as possible playing or using it, so as to provide a true representation of whether it’s any good or not. When the app is a game, that means completing as much of it as possible because you never know, it could all change [...]

Gamebook Adventures 5: Catacombs of the Undercity iPhone App Review – It’s the Best Yet!

We reviewed the first three Gamebook adventures a while ago, and loved the mixture of brilliant writing, fitting illustrations and classic choose-your-own-adventure style. We’ve recently been given the chance to get to grips with the fifth book in the series, entitled Catacombs of the Undercity. Like the previous books, it’s set in Orlandes City and this [...]

Unpleasant Horse iPhone App Review – Ban This Sick Filth!

In a week where it has been revealed that Apple are tracking our every move and Sony have let bands of criminals gain access to our private information, one could be forgiven for thinking it couldn’t get any worse. Well, bad things come in threes and to close out this trinity of horror, Unpleasant Horse [...]
