I can’t believe that it is so close to Christmas! Where did the time go? Really – tell me. While you are coming up with theories, I will break down four neat little iOS titles that you might be interested in.
In true dueling-banjoes-type fashion, I am posting my lesser reviews for two iOS games just after Jayson posted his. That’s not to say that the games I reviewed are inferior to Mr. Young’s; on the contrary, the games are great! The first game is a spin on an old favourite; the second will have you spinning your iPod.
There are a steady stream of iOS apps that hit the App Store every day. Here are three that I have checked out recently that I would like to briefly touch upon. The first is really an update to an existing title; the second is an aquatic fighting game; and the third is a title that looks like a mix of old and new.
Here are four apps for iOS that might tickle your fancy. The first is a game the uses the motion-detecting capabilities of the iPod Touch. The second is an app that allows you to create unique music videos. The last two are old-school vertical scrolling shooters that are a lot of fun.
In a landscape as vast as the App Store, it is fairly easy to get lost trying to find a good puzzle game. This is not because of some sort of shortage of mind-twisting goodness. On the contrary; the problem is choosing from the near-overwhelming number of puzzle apps. In my opinion, Arctic Empire’s Galaxy Express stands just slightly above its peers, making it a good use of your personal processing cycles.
Here are two games for iOS that our readers might like. One is an old-school shooter while the other is an interesting take on dungeon crawling (which is on the cusp of being released). In this article I will take a closer look at each of these great little gems that will surely inspire you to hug your iOS device.
Mini Cafe, an iOS game from SGN (bought by MindJolt earlier this year), presents you with the challenge of running a restaurant. If you are the ambitious sort, you can try and expand your humble eatery into something a little more grand. This iOS-based restaurant sim is as fun as it is addictive.
I have never seen Sam Raimi’s Army Of Darkness (I seriously have no idea why); when the Army Of Darkness: Defence iOS game came out, I was mildly curious how it would play for someone whose familiarity with Bruce Campbell is based mostly on the sleeper hit Burn Notice.
The youngest member of our staff enjoys a good game of Angry Birds from time to time, as do some of her friends. It blows me away that kids are so savvy to the religion of nerdery (read: technology). Despite this affinity to the Borg, I am a firm believer that they should engage in tactile learning (books are a great example). That being said, I am no iNazi; once in a while an app comes along that’s perfect for kids and strikes that perfect balance between entertainment and learning. The Day the Music Stopped is one such app.
A while ago, we reviewed Toytek’s iOS game for the thinking person called The Ultimate Alphabet. Since then Toytek has put out one of the most suggestive-sounding titles that I have ever seen: Filth Fair.
