Desert Zombie: Last Stand: Blisteringly Hot New Alpha Gameplay Trailer!
You may recall we wondered aloud in our Desert Zombie: Last Stand First Look article whether this upcoming Unreal Engine-powered game might end up being a linear, "on-rails" experience à la Doom Resurrection or RAGE. The latest teaser trailer and accompanying press release from Crystalised puts paid to the notion, revealing Last Stand to be a completely free-roaming, third-person shooter!
9mm Review
Overdosing on saccharine-sweet and cutesy titles can be a bit of an occupational hazard when working in the iOS games biz, so thankfully Gameloft have cooked up an antidote in the shape of 9mm, a hard-R rated, adult-toned third-person shooter that blends Grand Theft Auto's gritty aesthetic with pulse-pounding slow-mo gunfights à la Max Payne.

The iFriday Roundup, No. 1
With new games constantly bombarding iOS, it's easy to forget that previous releases are receiving impressive updates from their developers all the while. This feature will bring attention to updates, bugfixes, and miscellanous tidbits related to our previous coverage that have caught iFanzine's eye during the week.
Necta Collecta Review
"Necta Collecta" exceeds player expectations in the amount of content it packs in. However, a distinct lack of tension in its gameplay takes the experience down a notch for those who like to see brisk challenge in their puzzle games.
Deathsmiles Review
Deathsmiles will wow and exhilarate you, then challenge and baffle you before understanding finally washes over you and sends you to a peaceful place full of gothic monsters, neon projectiles, and insane score multipliers. This, my friends, is bullet hell Zen.
Pocket Academy Review
If you think managing a high school sounds like the dullest videogame premise ever, think again! Kairosoft returns with another winning management sim. Genre fans will applaud its depth, challenge, and replay value equally, although you shouldn't go into this one expecting pick-up-and-play simplicity.
