Hot Apps MEGA MAN X Review

Bringing classic games to the iOS platform has been a growing trend over the last year, and Capcom has been one of the most aggressive publishers of new touch versions of their retro games. Usually publishers release these “updated” games as nothing more than clunky ports with very hard to manage controls. In the case of MEGA MAN X though, this isn’t quite the case. While the game does suffer a bit because of the lack of tactile controls, it does a decent job at emulating the game and making it accessible on the iOS platform. While this is certainly not the ultimate Mega Man experience, it’s fun and as true to the real thing as is likely to be found on iOS.

Kingdom Rush Review

Love them or hate them, tower defense games are addictive and Kingdom Rush is no different. Featuring orcs, trolls, evil wizards and big white yeti-looking creatures, defending the kingdom really is a rush. Seriously, usually games start off slow and let the player get used to it. Nope, not with this one. I found myself on the brink of disaster the entire time from beginning until I set it down. Currently, I’m stuck on a level so evil I can’t wait to pick it back up after I finish writing this review.

FREE Seal Force Review

When the evil Krillian hatches a diabolical scheme to poison the world’s oceans, a crack-team of special operatives is dispatched to quell the threat and take him down. Thwarting evil is just another part of their day-to-day. They are the elite of the elite. They are the one’s to call when the other one’s to call just won’t do. They are the Seal Force.

Funny Hell Review

I never thought being in hell could be so exhilarating and rewarding until I tried out Funny Hell from Bulkypix. It’s a castle defender of sorts that starts out extremely easy, but then gets a bit hellish for some devilish gameplay.

Trenches 2 Review

Seriously, there are way too many World War 2 games. Trenches 2 is pretty much a response to fact, taking place in World War 1. Players lead either the British, German, or French campaigns across the European fronts. The whole affair is very cartoony and not very serious, especially considering the big sheepishly devious grins on all the soldiers’ faces. Those looking for a harrowing take on the horrors of war should look elsewhere.

Terra Noctis Review

Poor little Allen. Life’s tough for a nightmare that’s more “Aaaaaaawwwwww…” than “AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa!!!!,” and if he’s going to have any hope of being taken seriously he’s going to have to figure something out. Fortunately, after being kicked out of class for being too cute he stumbled across an ancient text that spoke of a sort of uber-nightmare. If he can find it, he might be able to acquire its scariness and become the most fearsome shadow in the dream world. Of course, he has to find it first.

Sin or Win Review

Sin or Win is a different kind of god game. Players are given the opportunity to either kill a never-ending stampede of cavemen by throwing them into a pit of fire, or pop them up merrily on their way to fluffy clouds in order to ascend to heaven. “Winning” the game requires the latter action, but the game is happy to give players the choice to “sin,” ending the lives of the innocent cavemen if they so wish. Each dead caveman adds a clump of bones to the pit. In order to continue winning, as there is no real ending, the player must keep the pit from filling with lava.

FREE Soulo Karaoke and Soulo Mic Review

Soulo Karaoke is a sing along app with a library of popular and public domain songs to rock out to. It can be used with the iPhone 3GS and up, and both iPad devices. It’s possible to record using the built in microphone on these devices, but the company (and our testing) deosn’t recommend it. Instead, they also sell the Soulo Mic, a $70 – $100 microphone accessory made to be used with the app.

Homerun Battle 2 Review

Pretty much every adolescent boy can remember back to summer afternoons spent in the backyard, recreating the moment when they hit the home run, to win the World Series.  Sadly, most will never get the opportunity to take a big league at bat.  Thank goodness there are video games to fill this niche void.  While there are plenty of long ball simulators, Homerun Battle 2 promises to be one of the best.  Does it manage to clear the fence, or is it just a pop fly?

FREE Pucca’s Restaurant Review

How hard can running a restaurant be? If freemium title Pucca’s Restaurant is anything to go by, it’s actually a pretty tough life! The game falls into the time/resource management genre as the player is asked to take control over all aspects of running a restaurant. A brief tutorial kicks things off, showing the player how to cook basic food and rearrange furniture, and then the player is let loose into the restaurant with paying customers on their way in.

The Adventures of Tintin – The Game Review

I’m going to be honest – I’ve never read any of the Tintin comic books, despite the fact that they’ve been around for several decades. That’s not saying they aren’t good, but when I was younger they just weren’t my thing. However, I really enjoyed the TV series that came out in the 90s, so was thrilled when a new film was released this year. The Adventures of Tintin – The Game is based on the 2011 film, albeit with a few tweaks here and there.

Chrono Trigger Review

Ask anyone what their favorite Super Nintendo RPG is and there’s a very good chance they’ll answer Chrono Trigger without a moment’s hesitation. I mean it is one of, if not the most respected, admired and loved role-playing games ever. The game has seen its fair share of ports since the glory days, including an appearance on a compilation set for the PlayStation and a much more recent Nintendo DS iteration. Now it’s out for Apple devices.

Sonic CD Review

Sonic CD is back for the new generation, albeit only being distributed via digital media this time around. I am not exaggerating when I say that Sonic CD is quite possibly the best port job of a game to mobile ever. While Sega’s Genesis emulation engine has worked a lot better on the more-powerful hardware than it did back in the days of the iPhone 3G, this native engine is a blessing. Designed by Sonic super-fan Christian Whitehead, who designed an engine for running classic Sonic games with their specific physics on any hardware the engine was ported to. Sonic nerds are unstoppable.

Swing Away Review

This poor little simian has been locked away in the zoo for far too long. He misses his family and yearns to get back to his natural habitat. Then one night he finds the door to his enclosure open. Perhaps it was chance, or maybe fate, but regardless it’s the perfect opportunity to escape.

FREE Plan X Review

I’ve always found the “evil genius” profession to be fascinating. The seemingly endless funds, thousands of faceless drones to do biddings, bringing all manner of ridiculous world domination plans to fruition and those glorious pseudo-60s and 70s aesthetics… If it weren’t for the sheer impossibility of it all (and the constant do-gooder thwarting) I’d say it’s the life for me.

Bejeweled Review

Bejeweled is, as habitually, a very well renowned but habitually stimulating experience. The visuals are location on, actually taking benefit of the retina brandish, and the diverse modes give players some good alternatives so they don’t get burned out.

Gua-Le-Ni Review

I didn’t quite know what to expect going into my experience with Gua-Le-Ni. All I could gather is that I would be dealing with strange scrap-paper creatures running across the screen. I was pleasantly surprised by the gameplay once I got into it and found it to have many appealing aspects.

MinoMonsters Review

As much as all would love being able to snatch and train their have Pikachu on their iOS implement, that’s just not in the cards for the foreseeable future. Not that wealth of developers haven’t been endeavouring, though. The App Store has a respectable selection of sporting activities that offer to recapture the magic of the lineage material, but there hasn’t truly been a stand-out label yet. Well, okay, now there is.

FREE My Xbox Live Review

Aside from the aforementioned need of impel notifications, there isn’t a large deal incorrect with the app in itself. Yes, it could be a little quicker at the primary log-in, but I’m actually nitpicking here.

Mini Motor Racing Review

AirPlay feature means that players will be able iPad2 from iPhone4S on the TV screen and a more exciting experience mirrored the game.

Batman Arkham City Lockdown Review

In Batman Arkham City Lockdown, gamers play as no one other than the dark knight himself, and in managing so they hand out uber-violent trounce downs in Batman’s exclusive hand-to-hand method as they clear Gotham City’s roads of lawless individuals that have got away from the Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

Defenders of Ardania Review

course of the game text scroll across the bottom of the screen some of the explanations of the game, and explain each tower and offensive purposes. The problem is, the game still being played, scrolling text at the bottom, so all my focus on the game, rather than reading instructions. Fortunately, the layout is not intuitive, it does not take much time to find out how to play.

MusicStatus for Facebook Review

MusicStatus for Facebook takes the venture of saving Facebook associates informed of regular selections and dilutes it down to pretty much two button presses.

Desert Zombie Last Stand Review

Any such game, Desert Zombie Last Stand point for increasingly severe waves enemy to survive as long as possible. In this case, I'm talking about zombies. Zombies with rifles, rocket launchers, giant zombies and so on.

Michael Jackson The Experience HD Review

Routine itself is also a very good design, you need to dig out the credit card players a variety of patterns, the music of the time. There are also three difficulty levels, the most difficult requirement to master the Jedi-like reflection. Unfortunately, there are several games did not properly recognize my track on the screen move.

Happily Ever After Review

One engages splatting zits rapidly while another is an endless running method game engaging the Gingerbread man. There’s furthermore a Spot the Vegetable game which noise precisely like the title proposes but is strangely convincing for a short time.

Zombie Area! Review

Accessible and simple player may turn zombie to kill this particular section. There is no upgrade at all, without any form of actual custom (to save to unlock new music tracks). In fact, in addition to scoring after killing zombies and access to the X number of new areas (ie background), but certainly did not keep the players motivated. It is still shocking fun, but I can see some problems with the lack of additional content.

Figaro Wig HD Review

Thanks to this, Figaro Wig HD is pretty easy to play. Finger swipes facilitate line up shots and Wig happily bounces around in an correct manner throughout. It’s a really light-weight hearted affair right right down to the flexibility to customise Wig with unlockable costumes. Replayability comes within the type of making an attempt to hit increasingly improved high scores, with the player ranked in line with what percentage jumps it took to complete a stage and the way long it took.

Paul & Percy Review

I really just like the manner this game is presented. The gameplay is exclusive in that there are extremely 2 completely different boards being played at a similar time. The graphics and sound boost the expertise and build a retro feel. The controls are terribly basic and are primarily based on swiping. there's a straightforward tutorial at the start of the sport that explains how everything works.

FREE Egg Punch Review

Rabbits are jerks. A bird can’t even take a shower while not a number of them stealing its feathers, leaving it within the nude. Luckily once some fast thinking and re-purposing an egg shell, the tiny avian is prepared to induce those feathers back by approach of some miniature golf. Wait, what?

Traffic Panic 3D Review

The graphics are positively passable, but they are somewhat muddy and so the textures seem blurring when viewed from the up-close crash cam. but this isn’t a huge deal. the only real draw back I even have with Traffic Panic 3D, except the constant “Unlock Everything” and “Like us on Facebook” pop-ups is that the power to unlock all content with a $0.99 in-app purchase.

Infinity Blade 2 Review

Fans of the initial Infinity Blade can love the sequel. It follows identical formula, however the iterations are much-needed enhancements, and once the bugs are cleared up, this may be one thing actually fantastic. this can be immediately one in all my favorite games of the year on iOS.

Inertia: Escape Velocity Review

It takes alittle of observe to actually come back to grips with lots of those parts, however. Speed and angle each have a serious impact on Hermes’ trajectory, and it takes time to be told when it’s best to shut off gravity (or flip it back on). It will get alittle frustrating to finish up solely slightly astray with no thanks to correct it in mid-flight. particularly when floating over an electrified floor.

Assassin’s Creed Recollection Review

With the large popularity of the Assassin’s Creed franchise, it’s solely natural that Ubisoft would wish to expand the footprint. Developed solely for the Apple iPad by Ubisoft Montreal, Assassin’s Creed Recollection brings a distinct reasonably game to the fan-base. this point around players are going to be fighting for management through the utilization of cards.

Sparkle 2: EVO Review

Sparkle 2: EVO is probably one in all the extra distinctive titles on the App Store. Viewed from a high down perspective, the game sees the player take management of an particularly basic organism – bottom of the food-chain material – and facilitate it evolve by devouring nutritious elements, that each have a definite impact.

FREE Paper Wings Review

Paper Wings isn’t quite laughably slap-dash, nevertheless it fails to capture the imagination or the elusive addiction issue that ultimately determines a game’s success.
