Games for iPhone and iPad

Adding the innovation of iPhone’s range of motion capabilities to a Tetris-like puzzle format, BitCaper’s Block Knights spins, or more appropriately, tilts and dips, into four fun different variations of the classic challenge of  arranging predetermined block combinations to form and clear rows of blocks. The motion really adds a fun but formidable element to these puzzlers. There [...]

The reMovem iPhone app by Mundue.net is a puzzle type game that requires you to match up balls of like colors and then tap the screen to remove them. The more you can match up and move at one time the more valuable the score. Recently I wrote a review of Gemmed Lite in which [...]

It’s hard to find anything new to do with the classic breakout game, although Chillingo works hard to advance the genre with Krypton Egg – The Ultimate Breakout. Unfortunately, it falls short in some areas. One of the things I immediately liked about Krypton Egg is that I had the option of using either the [...]

Hell’s Kitchen – Ask anyone that knows me and they will tell you there is no denying I’m an admitted Gordon Ramsey fan. I just can’t get enough of watching him get in peoples faces all for the greater good of the perfect dining experience. I watch his shows Kitchen Nightmares, The F Word and [...]

Big Deuce – For all of you Vegas aficionados that love playing offbeat and obscure card games, MotionObj has developed an iPhone application that speaks directly to you.

With its enchanting rewards of music and gifts for negotiating a path, but an infuriating lack of guidance, MusicNeon serves up a delectable digital bite of quirk that may make an Apple user feel like Alice in Wonderland. Japanese creator SG Game leaves the player to figure a lot out as they go, which lends to small victories (Yay! I figured it out!) but [...]

Ultimate Thumb Fighter iPhone app by SWN Software falls short of the ultimate thumbs up. I really wanted to love this game. I play thumb wars with my favorite 12 year old quite often. When this app popped up on my radar, I was ready for action. The concept was exactly as I expected it [...]

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 [...]

Yatzy Twist is a Kristanix Games version of the Milton Bradley original Yahtzee! dice game. There isn’t really anything new that can be said about the classic dice-throwing game, but for anyone who doesn’t know it, it’s a game of chance won by accumulating the most points based on specific scoring sequences of five dice. Yatzy [...]
