ChronoSgear Review
Genre Blends have quickly become the norm in iDevice gaming. We’re all used to the simple sidescrollers, match threes, and all of that fodder, but what would happen if we mix them? The answer is ChronoSgear!
Billabong Surf Trip Review
While thanks to likes of the Tony Hawk franchise skating games have enjoyed an illustrious enough career on various consoles over the years, the sports' water based equivalent, surfing, has never quite reached the same dizzying highs. Which in turn might have something to do with the sparsity of surfing games on the App Store. Until now that is...
Hysteria Project 2 Teaser Trailer
Just in time for Halloween, BulkyPix have unveiled an unnerving new teaser trailer for the upcoming Hysteria Project...
Zenonia Retroview
"Retroviews" are becoming all the rage on reviews sites nowadays, and while the iPhone is still a young platform, it feels like there's already a decade's worth of titles for gamers to choose from. Therefore we thought it would be neat to take a look back at Zenonia, the 2009 Gamevil release that put the Action RPG indelibly on the iOS map. Does it still have what it takes to compete in today's RPG-crowded Appstore?
iPirate Battle: New Update!
iFanzine took a look at Enora Software's iPirate Battle a few weeks back, and while we were fairly taken with the game's core concept and well devised control scheme, overall, it failed to impress and was forced to walk the plank with a measly 2.5/5 stars. Well, shiver me timbers, its just resurfaced with a shiny new update that irons out quite a few issues!
Dragon Fire: Una’s Quest Review
A pretty epic sounding slice of scene-setting story proceeds Debug Design's interesting spin on the retro style, top-down shooter, Dragon Fire: Una's Quest. Evil Queen Hydra is ruthlessly culling dragons and collecting their "knowledge sparks", so that she might gain control of the mythical land of Krytok! Playing as a feisty young dragon, Una, it's up to you to avenge your mother's death and put a end to Hydra's dastardly plans.

Samurai II: Vengeance Review
MADFINGER's followup to Samurai: Way of the Warrior brings to mind combo-heavy action games of the PlayStation 2 era owing to formidable gameplay and not just its luscious visuals. If you're squeamish at the sight of blood you need not apply, but otherwise this is one of the year's must-have titles for action fans especially.
Reckless Racing Review
We first heard tell of Reckless Racing a good ways back. The game instantly grabbed iPhone gamers' attention thanks to its gorgeous graphics, an old school arcade-y perspective, and the promise of plenty of rubber burning action set deep down South. And gosh darn it if Pixelbite Games haven't come good on the potential for over-the-top fun inherent in the title's hillbillies race the heck outta hot rods premise...
Predators Review
The general rule of thumb is that any game based around a movie is likely to rushed, sloppy affair designed solely to cash in on celluloid success and turn a quick buck. For this reason, I approached Chillingo's iPhone adaptation of Predators with extreme caution. Happily, it shatters convention, and offers up a heady mix of brutally violent action, gorgeous visuals, and pitch-perfect controls.
