  • Infinite Universe (Review) iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad

    Posted by on April 2, 2012 under Portables, Reviews
    During the 1980s, role-playing books were all the rage. The Choose Your Own Adventure series allowed readers to decide the outcome of the story by making decisions and then turning to the appropriate page. If the right choice was made, the story would continue. While innovative, The Choose Your Own Adventure series was limited. Steve Jackson and Ian Livingston took the concept further by publis... more.

  • Food Processing (Review) iPhone/iPod/iPad

    Posted by on July 6, 2011 under Portables, Reviews
    Video games are usually play-tested before foisting them on paying customers.Therefore it's's baffling to think what Food Processing, an iOS arcade puzzler from Chillingo, went through (or didn't) between the "final" line of code and the App Store. Both the visuals and controls render this game largely unplayable, making a game that's not very original a rare instance where it's not even worth the... more.
  • Play Kalei (Review) iPhone/iPod/iPad

    Posted by on July 6, 2011 under Portables, Reviews
    Something different and still fun is a too-rare occurrence in the App Store, so when a game like Play Kalei lets you toy with the world through a kaleidoscope there's much rejoicing. A short cheer, but nonetheless spirited. I had an odd liking for kaleidoscopes as a kid, to the point of indulging in one of those overpriced yuppie desktop toys early in my professional career (alas, it's generall... more.
  • Dragon’s Lair II: Timewarp (Review) iPhone/iPod/iPad

    Posted by on June 27, 2011 under Portables, Reviews
    There's a reason Dragon's Lair has been rereleased ad nauseum despite its massive lack of player content. There's also a reason its sequel, arguably a much better game just rereleased in highly playable form for the iPhone, barely registers in the collective memory of gaming history. Dragon's Lair, of course, was a fascinating novelty in 1983 for its first-rate animation as much as its quirky l... more.

    Posted by on June 21, 2011 under Portables, Reviews
    For the first time in its history, Konami's X-Men Arcade has arrived on a portable device. Identical in every way to its arcade counterpart, the iPhone version retains the action and gameplay of the coin-op. All six X-Men made it to the portable version: Cyclops, Colossus, Wolverine, Storm, Night Crawler and Dazzler. The side-scrolling, beat 'em up action takes place across 8 stages as you try ... more.
