iOS Gaming Preview: 2011 At a Glance

Ruan Shiels·
Even though we’ve barely gotten over the cracker that was Christmas 2010, a fair few new iPhone games have already been announced that have me very excited about the year ahead. Highlights include a potential GTA/Gangstar killer, an epic, incredibly ambitious sci-fi RPG, and an intriguing little title that just might turn you into the App Store’s next super-successful indie game dev.

And once you spend a little time with this endearingly back-to-basics puzzler, it's not hard to see why almost a million people found themselves hooked on the title's well-observed brand of fast-paced, physics-based problem solving.

Bug Heroes Hands-On Preview

Sean Koch·
Foursaken Media has given iFanzine a sneak peek at its upcoming release, Bug Heroes. The idea of mashing up the Dual-stick Shooter, Action RPG, and Castle Defense genres might sound outlandish at first, but we're absolutely loving the results!

Across Age DX In-Depth Review

Ruan Shiels·
While Korean devs have shown they really know how to put the "Action" in Action RPG, EXE Create and FDG Entertainment bring us back to an era when the genre wasn't so much about combat, and clever dungeon puzzles instead reigned supreme. Its gameplay style may be a bit of an adjustment for players used to the typical genre offerings on this platform, but Across Age DX is so well executed as to make it a must-play title for Action RPG fans equipped with appropriate iDevices.

Elemental: A Musical Instrument & Alpine Crawler Wild Mini-Reviews

Ruan Shiels·
These $.99 offerings, from Nooskewl and Dimension Technics respectively, might get lost in the sea of increasingly sophisticated titles occupying the App Store's higher price ranges. That's a shame because they're both worth a look for their clever concepts and well-executed interfaces. And if you just happen to play them back-to-back, you might get the crazy feeling you've walked into an old school double feature matinée.
