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…

Have you ever played a game that you’ve never heard of before loading it up? At iPhone Gamer Blog we do that all of the time, but usually the game that we are reviewing has some familiarity, meaning we have played a game or two that is similar. I’ve been trying to think of a game that I’ve played that is similar to Gravity Block HD and I can’t, and I have to say, I like it…

Brick Breaker-type games have been out, perhaps, since the time of the dinosaur. There are probably thousands of variations for each platform. Ok, Atari released the first Brick Breaker game in 1976, four years after Pong. But, I bet I’m right about the thousands of variations…

t’s official; the guys over at Backflip Studios are among the best puzzle creators on the App Store. It seems like everything they touch that deals with puzzles is an A+. Their back category also includes the Ragdoll Blaster series. Fortunately for us, they have done it again. Graffiti Ball is so damn good that I recommend you stop reading this fluff piece right now and go get it. Still not sold? It’s free!

We’ve all played the card game Memory. You know the game, you have to match the pictures together and the person with the most pairs at the end wins. Well until now all you’ve had to match are visuals. The new iPad game AudioPairs steps into a new frontier and only uses audio…

Doodle God manages to be unique, mesmerizing and wonderful. It takes such a simple concept and expands upon it until it really is a must buy game. What makes Doodle God so good? It’s certainly not the Doodle moniker which really has nothing at all to do with any other Doodle-type game you have played in the past. It’s certainly not that it is yet another puzzle game in the vast array already available on the App Store. It really boils down to how it makes you feel when you play and that feeling is worth chasing…

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…?

I’m going to be honest with you. I don’t really get this game. I’ve been playing it for over an hour nonstop and I just don’t get it. The object of the game, I think, is to organize candy in specific patterns. Symmetry plays a role as well but I’m not sure how. Do I organize the candy by type and try to keep the board symmetrical or do I mix and match the candy to come up with elaborate patterns?

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…

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an iPhone/iPod Touch game like Mr. Kubus before and if I have then it obviously didn’t leave an impact. This 2D left to right scroller is a mix between a puzzler and a strategy game. The object of the game is to reach the finish line with as many red hearts as possible. As you move through the level you can gather hearts, and also lose them by running into obstacles…

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…

Spinzizzle is an interesting name for a common genre type for the iPhone, the match 3. You know the ones; you have balls or objects of different colors and you need to match 3 of them together in order to move onto the next stage where you do the same thing over and over again. Personally, I’m just not much into this kind of gameplay. I like casual gaming experiences but I like a bit more action in my diet…

Sorter is a fast paced puzzle game where you must drag colored disks to their matching color corral. It sounds really easy doesn’t it? It’s not. As soon as you think you’ve got the hang of it, you make a mental mistake and drag a red disk into the blue corral…

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…
