Paper Pilot: Polished Graphics Still Stuck in Choppy Winds

Paper Pilot – Paper airplanes have a special place in my heart. In grade school with some of my best buddies, making a variety of paper planes decked out using crayons was something we did for fun. We didn’t particularly care for flying them because we couldn’t make them aerodynamic enough to fly, but it [...]

Orion’s Belt Delivers Space Drama In Spades

Orion’s Belt – Most games on the iPhone put a premium on delivering quick-hitting 5- to 10-minute engagements rather than the longevity of a traditional, console-style game. Considering that most iPhone gaming is typically done in short bursts, that approach it is completely understandable. The folks over at Cellufun have essentially created a console-style game [...]

FingerMingle Shows Promise, but Not Cool Enough to Break the Ice Yet

FingerMingle – I remember when dating used to be simple. Considering that I’m a guy, it was my job to deliver a good time while being a perfect gentleman.

Big Fun Racing is Missing the Fun

Big Fun Racing is an interesting title for a game. Not in the sense that the title itself is particularly unique, but rather, the guys at Decane are essentially declaring that this game is a great racer. Upon review, it appears that it would have been prudent to go for something much more understated…. Controlling [...]

PocketArnold Provides Riotous Fun!

PocketArnold – I’ll admit that I’m a huge Arnold Schwarzenegger fan. Not so much from his current role as the governor of my state of “Kah-lee-foh-neea,” but rather, the many years of mindless action movies featuring his classic one-liners. Apparently, the guys over at Manta Innovations are also big fans as evidenced by their recent [...]

Brothers In Arms: Hour of Heroes (BIA)

As the iPhone continues to impress with it’s capacity to provide meaningful gameplay experiences, Gameloft has delivered a very ambitious game in Brothers In Arms: Hour of Heroes (BIA) that provides a trip back to World War II. I typically enjoy any game that allows me to bring some heat to the Nazi Germany war [...]

iDodge: Space Ninja is a Cool Flying Shooter with a Bad Name

iDodge: Space Ninja – If you’re confused about what the heck a Space Ninja is, don’t worry; you’re not alone. Typically ninjas tend to do what they do over in the Eastern Hemisphere, not north of the Ionosphere. Jormy Games has essentially ignored those pesky realities and forged ahead with the release of Space Ninja, [...]

Sometimes Payback Can Be a Great Thing

Sandbox gaming has officially come to the iPhone. Payback, developed by Apex Designs, is a shameless clone of the experience found in the GTA (Grand Theft Auto) franchise.
