We heard recently about iPhone game Super Ramen BROTHers, which was put together in a single day, and it seems this new trend for speed coding has now spread to Sweden where Dogtown Studios set itself the challenge of creating a game in three days. That game, Project 72, has just been submitted to Apple […]
The benefits of riding a motorbike seem to be massively outweighed by the cons. It’s expensive, dangerous, noisy, impractical, and you have to wear a gigantic helmet when riding. None of that diminishes the breakneck excitement, which in turn should make for an exhilarating game. Unfortunately, Ducati Moto captures none of this thrill, instead exhibiting […]
Yes, there’s another farm game on the iPhone. Luckily, Tap Farm is the closest thing to Farmville you can currently get – that is unless Zynga decides to have a foray into the mobile world. It’s almost a complete clone. For that reason it’s actually quite good, and should you crave some crop-planting action whilst […]
CES 2010 hasn’t been home to many iPhone gaming announcements, though we did have a couple of meetings that will bring some new iPhone gaming news soon. One of the devices we found while wandering the floors was Posimotion’s Helix gaming grip. Steering/gaming grips aren’t really a new concept for the iPhone and iPod Touch. […]
Aside from the Parrot AR.Drone quadricopter, we haven’t come across much noteworthy in the world of iPhone gaming at CES– Everyone is far too busy looking at tablet computers being shown and speculating as to which is likely going to be the closest to Apple’s tablet. That doesn’t mean people at CES aren’t playing iPhone […]
One of the most notable iPhone games in the early days of the App Store was Ethan Nicholas’ iShoot [App Store], a turn-based artillery game reminiscent of Scorched Earth. In January of last year iShoot took the #1 spot in the list of top 100 paid apps (and anything that could dethrone iFart Mobile has […]
It’s no secret that the iPhone is a highly attractive target platform for developers, not only because of the excellent app distribution model that Apple has put in place with the App Store, but also because of the quality and accessibility of its freely-available development tools. They are great tools, indeed, but we wouldn’t go […]

If you love your games and assorted apps and you want to tell someone then get in touch. We don’t offer payment, […]
Armed conflict isn’t something to be taken lightly. Man attempting to snuff out of the life of fellow man is a despicable phenomenon and one that many games have tried to replicate in lurid detail. The same, however, cannot be said of ToonWarz. This intentionally lighthearted first-person shooter may showcase tons of heavy weaponry, hordes […]
Taito impressed the hell out of us with its iPhone revamp of the original shmup in Space Invaders Infinity Gene, which also just made it onto our top ten list of 2009’s iPhone games. To celebrate the New Year, Taito has just dropped us a line to announce that a major 2.0 update has gone […]
I-play has officially announced that its popular (5 million players and counting) PC casual puzzler Paradise Quest is on its way to iPhone. As you might expect given the title and publisher, Paradise Quest plays a lot like Jewel Quest, with some familiar gentle match-three gameplay mixed into a loose adventure story. However, there are […]
Racing: whether it’s the comical tractor lawnmower variety, Earth-churning horsepower of a rally car, or neck-breaking pace of an F1 championship, a spectacle is almost certainly guaranteed. Man has seen fit to race in just about everything for the challenge, the thrill, and for competition. Sadly, most of us don’t have the backing of Honda’s […]
In these tumultuous times full of war and politics, war profiteering would probably not be an outlandish concept. That’s what 5 Minute Games’ iPhone app, Balance of Power, is all about. You’re an arms dealer distributing weapons to both sides of a war, so you’re benefiting as long as the war is going; the longer […]
To make guacamole for a hungry Rodriguez, you need Pedro Avacado, Garlic Garcia, and Sour Creme…that is, according to Bambalam’s Guacamole iPhone app. A modified version of Whack-A-Mole, those three items need to be hit whenever they pop up on the screen; just tap and watch the squishy fun. All the ingredients you whack will […]
Everybody wants to be a superhero, but let’s face it, most of us don’t look the part. But that’s okay, 10tons Ltd. has totally factored that into their iPhone app, Rope Raiders, in which you’re an overweight guy in a horribly orange outfit, swinging through the city with a grappling hook. There are three different […]
If you remember playing any of the various snowboarding games on the original Playstation, MyTP Snowboarding just might take you for a stroll down memory lane. This v.1.0.0 release by randerline starts off with a neat introductory montage of actual snowboarding footage. There are two modes available to play, World Tour and QuickPlay. The 3D […]
One glance at Little Metal Ball (by Debacle Software) will immediately elicit comparisons to to the ever-popular Labyrinth, but LMB sets itself apart from other games on the app store by applying its ball-rolling gameplay in a fun adventure/platformer setting. With 40 levels, controls that are tuned to perfection, and gameplay that encourages limitless high-score […]
While Hironobu Sakaguchi may not be a name you recognize, the titles of many of the games he played a vital role in have become classics along with forever influencing the landscape of roleplaying games. Since creating Final Fantasy in the late 80’s, Sakaguchi has directed, produced, supervised or was behind the original concept of […]
The App Store’s low-grav racing space certainly is starting to get crowded, which is just fine by me. And it looks like the latest release to join the ranks, Speed Forge Extreme [App Store] from Rat Square / Chillingo, may just be the best of the lot. It’s 2142, and the colonization of Mars is underway. […]
Happy New Year We hope you all had a fun and safe time celebrating the end of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 last night, but let’s get down to business. While you were watching the ball drop, a few great games were going on sale. Here are a few of the more noteworthy games […]
