Vincere Totus Astrum Review

Ruan Shiels·
It's all Greek to some of us, perhaps, but the title of Gamesare Studios' first iOS outing should be music to the ears of strategy game fans who prefer something deep and with a sci-fi bent. It may be billed as a "Casual 4X Strategy Game" but the depth and amount of its content will hardly seem casual to most iOS gamers.

Squid Drop Review

Ruan Shiels·
I’ll be honest, Nor Eagle’s new game, Squid Drop, didn’t immediately grab me. On paper, everything about it just seemed a bit too simplistic and shallow for my tastes. However, having spent a fun-filled hour or so weaving around its vibrant underwater world, I was well and truly hooked. Suffice to say, this unassuming looking little title has got hidden depths. And how!

The Painful Beauty Review

Ruan Shiels·
This peculiar top-down survival game casts you as a character so drop-dead gorgeous she can’t even step out for a skinny latte and a copy of Cosmo without whipping every guy who spots her into a frenzy and being chased down the street by hordes of lovesick zombies.

Air Force vs Luftwaffe Hands-on Preview

Ruan Shiels·
A tendril of black smoke belching from the bullet-riddled hide of my Hawker Hurricane, I swoop dangerously close to terra firma before jerking my iPod clockwise just before I hit the dirt. Soaring back upwards through the sky, I eviscerate a Jerry bomber with a hail of machine gun fire... Hell yeah! This truly is exhilarating, edge-of-your-seat stuff!

The Last Ace of Space Review

Ruan Shiels·
They say cats always land on their feet but that certainly ain't the case for intrepid feline adventurer Ace, the star of Astro Crow's innovative twist on the endless running genre, who having come a cropper on an alien planet instantly finds himself under attack and on the run from an outlandish array of extraterrestrial nogoodniks.

Elemental Rage In-Depth Review

Ruan Shiels·
Not since Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" has it been this important to prevent leakage of story spoilers, and iFanzine dutifully complies in this in-depth review. If you're familiar with the terms "Metroidvania" or "Castleroid," then heads-up, because you'll surely want to look into this one!

Order & Chaos Online: First Impressions

Ruan Shiels·
The long-awaited release of Gameloft's "true real-time, full-3D MMORPG", Order & Chaos, has finally happened. Following its initial Canada-only launch on Tuesday, the game is now available in App Stores globally. I quickly snapped it up and a full review simply wouldn't be possible at this point. Therefore, I've put together my first impressions for all of you who are as skeptical as I was about this title. Keyword: was.

Ruan Shiels·
Remedy Entertainment have teamed up with Cornfox & Brothers and Mountain Sheep to remake the classic Death Rally for iOS. But does this shiny new re-do have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the current crop of racing games? Abso-freaking-lutely!
