I pottered along to a showcase in December to check out a range of new and upcoming iOS games from publisher Chillingo. These were the highlights. Order Up!! To Go! I love management games. I love cooking. Order-Up does a brilliant job of combining the food preparation of Cooking Mama with a restaurant management sim. Make sure you have enough [...]

You know those puzzle compendiums you can get on the bottom shelf of the newsagents? The ones your gran probably always has or had by the side of her chair when you went to visit? I used to love those. I thought they were brill. Word searches and spot the difference puzzles were my favourite and, even at a young [...]

Asylum was great, wasn’t it? I know people have got some reservations about City, what with it being a bit pointlessly expanded resulting in it feeling a little less focused, but I think it’s pretty great too. It’s just such a tactile experience, dropping into a large crowd of opponents, ducking and dodging around them, countering blows, catching chairs, breaking [...]

EA are the devil blah blah blah ripping us off blah underhand business practices blah blah won’t someone think of the children blah de bloody blah. Shut up, stop moaning and listen to yourselves for for a minute. In the past week the astonishing act of trying to make money once again shocked gamers to their cores as EA once [...]

The Tower Defence genre has gotten a little stagnant. There’s very rarely a great amount of innovation. Somewhere along the line we collectively decided that you have a base near an enemy entry point where you’ll have to fortify buildings that help stave off encroaching hordes of nebulous monsters. It works, but when you’ve played one you’ve pretty much gotten [...]

It’s been a long time, but Dizzy has never been forgotten. Now he is back, with the release of Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk, on iOS, due on 9th December 2011.

I haven’t played Worms in years. Back at school I loved the original game. Worms 2 was even better with the addition of amazing voices like The Raj. Ah, the hilarity when my worms would bungee off a cliff, rope securely wrapped around their little tails, and shout “Poppadom!” It was a more innocent time back then. Rather more offensive [...]

It doesn’t matter how cute everything is. It doesn’t matter how endearing guiding a flying whale away from a shadowy monster is. It doesn’t matter how high my heart is lifted with every rendition of “I can see my house from heeere”. Whale Trail takes every molecule of joy that has been distilled and injected into its every facet and [...]

Take a motorbike, put a little digital man on him, design some devious videogame levels to try to get him through and what do you get? That’s right! Kickstart on the Commodore 64! Oh, you thought I was going to say something else? *ahem* That’s right! Another Trials clone! I don’t care though. I don’t care about clones, or rehashes [...]

Games like Stand O Food 3 by G5 Entertainment are my not-so-secret-anymore guilty pleasure. I wouldn’t like to admit to the amount of burgers I’ve flipped, beauty salons I’ve managed and huffy customers I’ve placated with cups of coffee. There’s something incredibly addictive about time management games. Memory recall, quick thinking and a flair for interior design are good skills [...]

Recently at Gamescom 2011 I got to play a pre-alpha build of Battlefield 3: Aftershock running on an iPad. As DICE is a little bit busy finishing off the blockbuster PC, 360 and PS3 versions of Battlefield 3, Digital Legends is in charge, the developer behind the iOS versions of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. If you’ve ever played Dead Space [...]

Squids is the first game from new development studio The Game Bakers. It features a blend of turn-based strategy, cute graphics and simple touch screen controls. The aim of the game is to destroy the evil black ooze creatures that have invaded the squid’s underwater home. Using the squids innate stretchiness allows you to propel them around the level into [...]
