First Look: The Adventures of Retrobot

Sean Koch·
This just in: the next project that "6th Planet" collaborators Monkube and Ape Entertainment are going full throttle on is none other than "The Adventures of Retrobot!" This time around Monkube has added the talents of Endeavor Bros., a Canadian indie developer, into the creative mix, and it looks like an exciting arcade shoot 'em up/comic book fusion has resulted!

Zen Wars Hands-On Preview

Sean Koch·
Liv Games gave us a sneak peek at their upcoming strategy game "Zen Wars," developed in collaboration with subzero.eu! It's built with Cocos2d, and it even has comic book panels. If you recall our track record of loving Cocos2d and comic book-style storytelling to bits, you'll correctly guess our feelings on this one -- and if you're looking for a multiplayer strategy match, so much the better!

Necta Collecta Review

Ruan Shiels·
"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.

Magnetic Baby Review

Sean Koch·
A star is born! Magnetic Baby could have gone wrong on so many levels, but care and good design sense on the developer's part have shaped this into a must-have for anyone interested in a good physics puzzler with a heavy dose of platforming action.

Deathsmiles Review

Ruan Shiels·
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

Ruan Shiels·
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.

The Greedy Sponge Review

Ruan Shiels·
While its tutorial trips up and its matching style isn't immediately intuitive, "The Greedy Sponge" well rewards action puzzle fans who are willing to stick with it. If you think a cross between Match-3 (actually, make that "Match-5") and "Tetris" sounds grand, this one should nicely fill your gaming gullet.

Ruan Shiels·
Best jousting game ever? You betcha. One of the greatest and most memorable iOS games in its price range? Yeah, that too. Alawar Entertainment and Wake Up Studios have brought us something truly impressive.
