  • Goro’s Way (Review) iPhone/iPod/iPad

    Posted by on June 1, 2010 under Portables, Reviews
    A cute 2D platform creature trying to eek out a living in a cruel 3D shooter world. That's as close to "you had me at hello" as I get. I've long been a sucker for this now-underdog genre, which when done well matches the best of its rivals in offering new things to explore and discover.

  • Stalingrad (Review) iPhone/iPod/iPad

    Posted by on May 28, 2010 under Portables, Reviews
    Not only is this alleged 3D shooter awful, but it's an insult to the ultimate battle of World War II. There's ambivalence about reliving war as entertainment instead of just blowing away the aliens in Doom, but gamers have made their peace with it for various reasons.
