If you have read any of my previous reviews dealing with matching games, you know that I usually don’t care for them. In fact, Match 3 and 4 games are the bane of my existence. That’s why it’s so surprising when a game like Flipstones comes around. Though there is a great deal of matching to do, the unique way you do it makes it a great deal of fun. Unfortunately, this game is not without its problems…

Townsfolk versus Zombies. Mild mannered people pitted against the rotting carrion of the undead. Grab the nearest torch or club and prepare to smash the enemy while defending the leader of your group in this latest mobile title from Behold Studios. The Gravedigger allows players to choose their team and enter the trenches of a local town to wage war in a real time strategy format. Although not without a couple hiccups, this is a decent breakthrough into the genre which actually dares to venture past the landlocked tower defense setup…

Malum Umbra is one spooky, unusual ride. The name alone should tell you something about this game, it’s unique and its developers don’t care how hard it is to market on the App Store. Just kidding guys. But in all seriousness, this is an indie developed 3d first person shoot…well not exactly shooter that looks great and has nice controls. The music, though overused, is absolutely stunning…

The key to any great strategy game is that once it hooks you, a new challenge begins: the battle to stop playing! Who hasn’t strategically kept a Word document a mouse-click away to hide a tense round of Tetris when the boss walks by? Or couldn’t stop seeing Minesweeper flags surround the characters of The Hurt Locker? And admit it, the only reason you stay in touch so well with grandma is to own her ass in online Mahjong! Just me…?

Beast Flyers is an action RPG where the object of the game is to gather the shattered pieces of the Crystal of Eternal Aura. The problem is that when the crystal broke, the animal spirits of energy escaped. As a Beast Flyer, your responsibility is to fight the evil spirits and collect the crystal pieces…

Jab. Jab. Hook. Boxing games have always been around but most have been a swing and a miss, pun intended. Down 4 the Count, from the developers at Astraware, is not one of those games. With style that is similar to the best boxing game of all time, Mike Tyson’s Punch Out, but also superb controls and gameplay, Down 4 the Count is a hit. Yes, also intended…

Who doesn’t like puzzle games? Better yet, who doesn’t like a lot of distinct puzzles wrapped up in one game? Well Ancient Puzzles HD is exactly that, a collection of 12 different games, some are familiar and some are quite the opposite…

Attack & Destroy is a strategic turn-based game where you control and lead a small three member team into battle. Your team can consist of a shotgun toting Grunt, a sneaky Sniper, a Technician with toys, and a quick moving Scout. Each character has special powers that can be used every other turn, for example; the Grunt has a forward charge that increases his speed, the Scout can reveal hidden landmines, the Sniper can turn invisible, and the Technician can set up gun turrets. Obviously the trick is that each one of these team members brings something different to each battle so you have to choose wisely when creating a team for each specific mission…

Filled with detailed exploration, secret powers, a host of assorted enemies and maze-like puzzles, Phoenix Spirit is the latest adventure release from Spearhead Entertainment. Utilizing an interesting tilt-based control system, players embark on a journey to save the Mother Tree from losing its life force and perishing, much to the dismay of our flying squirrel hero. Designed in a similar style to classics such as Metroid or Castlevania, Phoenix Spirit is decent, but falls short of the games it attempts to emulate…

The Package is an ingenious puzzle game. It really is. Puzzle games are one of the most commonly represented games of all genres on the App Store. That’s why unfortunately is so hard for new developers with good games to break through. I’m hoping that is not the case for the developers of The Package, a game where your job is to deliver a package using nothing more than MacGyver like widgets and tools…

Fantasy Date is an odd one. Basically it is a game that revolves around a subject that App Store developers can never really deliver to you on your iPhone; sex. At the end of a date, you leave without getting what you knew you couldn’t have all along. When it doesn’t happen, it’s a bit disappointing but the ride to the end isn’t too bad if you’re into pretty girls, dating shows or just enjoy a bit of tongue in cheek humor…

Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! for the NES is one of the most beloved games from the NES era. In Super KO Boxing 2, Glu Mobile brings a re-imagined version of that classic to the iPhone and iPod Touch market. With over 15 wildly different opponents, this game has a good amount of fun and challenge to be had, if you accept that it’s not so much a boxing game as a memory and timing battle…

The Twiggles is a 2D puzzle game that is very much like the classic PC game, Lemmings. The object of the game is to help the little blue characters, the Twiggles, get to the end of the level, which is a swirling warp like object…

The truth about Hollywood is that it’s made up of folks just like you or me but every once in a while they come into a hospital having turned into a Gorgon.  A normal hospital may not be able to handle something like this but a Hollywood Hospital is ready and waiting.  Your job, if you are able to stomach it, is save these movie stars from themselves…
