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.
i Sniper: First Person Shooter Misses The Mark
