'Deep Dungeons of Doom' Review - A Stripped-down Dungeon Crawler that Delivers

Evil's brewing, and it's up to the holy crusader and his pals to end it. Deep Dungeons of Doom [Free] celebrates a frequently trodden yet continuously enjoyable path with a suitably generic story and enough dry humor to keep it relevant. Wrapped in some gorgeous pixel art and animations, Bossa Studios has one satisfyingly bountiful [...]

'Super School Day' Review - Making a Mockery of Mini-games

Super School Day [$0.99] plays like any other of the mini-game collections on the App Store, yet it manages to not bore by being (so damn) charming. From the second the game launches it’s crackin’ jokes, successfully entertaining with style and personality. Don’t be fooled, Super School Day is actually a not-so-casual, challenging, laugh-in-the-face of [...]

'Hyper Breaker Turbo' Review - Bouncing Brick Breaking to the Next Level

Hyper Breaker Turbo [$1.99] drums up warm, fuzzy feelings of Breakout and Arkanoid. But the game is so much more – and not just because I’m no longer playing on a TI-82 calculator or Windows 95 machine. This is an indie upgrade from beJoy developer, Barry Kostjens, who also developed another blocky iOS game called [...]

'Shiny The Firefly' Review - No, it Has Nothing to Do with Joss Whedon

I have to admit, I'm a sucker for graphics. Sure, gameplay may be the most important aspect of any videogame, but as with sexual partners, you simply don't want to play with them if they look like the back end of a dump truck. So there I was, looking around on the internet for sexua... [...]

TA Plays: 'Gangstar Vegas' - Gameloft's Latest Open-World 'Gangstar' Game

The Gangstar franchise is weird. It's a series of games with little connection to each other outside of some pretty basic stuff: open worlds, guns, intense violence, and car jacking. You could probably say the same thing about Grand Theft Auto, but Gangstar is sorta unique in that each game is a crude copycat of [...]

'Little Luca' Review - A Charming Puzzler that Fires on All Cylinders

Now I'm not usually one to pick up a puzzle game, partly because there are so many of them crowding the App Store that are simply below average, but mostly because my brain is as good at solving problems as a goat is at knitting a car. But when I saw the pixel art screen [...]

TA Plays: 'Deep Dungeons of Doom' - Mobile-Friendly Dungeon Crawling

Deep Dungeons of Doom [Free] is a really neat... dungeon crawler thing? We don't know what to call it, actually. In the game, you play as various heroes on a quest of some sort that leads them to the deepest, darkest, and doom-iest dungeons across a fantasy-ass fantasy land. Each dungeon is broken into [...]

'Scurvy Scallywags' Review – Not Yar Average Match-3

Let’s be honest: if you’re a fan of Ron Gilbert’s work you’re already playing Scurvy Scallywags [$0.99], only reading to make sure I give the game a score you can agree with. Scroll to the bottom, and thank me later. For everyone else: I hope you’re looking for a match-3 that’s more than what the [...]

Gameloft's 'GTA'-like 'Gangstar Vegas' Hits the App Store

Well, this is weird. Breaking free of the Wednesday night release cycle, Gameloft's Gangstar Vegas [$6.99] hit the App Store at about 4:00 AM Central this morning. We've been covering Gangstar quite a bit, and with the release of the first of three developer diaries released this week we had our bets on a release [...]

Freebie Alert: 'Towelfight 2: The Monacle of Destiny' Free Until Apple Approves 'Quadropus Rampage'

The silly and eccentric developers at Butterscotch Shenanigans are just about ready to unleash their latest iOS effort Quadropus Rampage, which we took an early hands-on look at last month and were quite pleased with, but unfortunately have hit a snag in the Apple approval process. As they spelled out on their blog, Quadropus Rampage [...]
