Road to Emerald Review

Ruan Shiels·
If you had the chance to give "The Wizard of Oz" a makeover in videogame form, what would you do? For ImageCircus, an Osaka-based visual novel publisher, the obvious answer was to replace Dorothy's iconic anthropomorphic companions with handsome bishounen and turn the whole thing into a dating sim. Whether you find the setup strangely intriguing or just plain sacrilegious, one thing's for sure: after a trip down the "Road to Emerald" you'll never look at L. Frank Baum's classic the same way again!

Billabong Surf Trip Review

Ruan Shiels·
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...

Zenonia Retroview

Ruan Shiels·
"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!

Ruan Shiels·
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

Ruan Shiels·
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.
