Mobile port of BioShock still looks sexy [Update]

BioShock isn’t a game most people would peg perfect for mobile release. The game’s underwater dystopia has a pulse -- a steady throb powered by the fusion of unique atmosphere and nar...
Rumortoid: Apple's Application Store getting a premium division

Apple’s Application Store is a place blotted by bad indie games and silly prototype titles. Aside from the occasionally brilliant game, the majority of the stuff is junk. Anyone traversing ...

Destructoid review: Retro

When I sat down to play Big Head Games’ Elefunk for the first time, I was unprepared. I didn’t realize that a physics-based game starring an elephant could have depth. It did, and I f...

Destructoid review: Rolando

After playing Hand Circus’ platformer Rolando at some length, I’m beginning to think that every game should feature color-rich palettes. Imagine if Gears of War (always the whipping b...
Destructoid review: Dropship

Destructoid review: Dr. Awesome, Microsurgeon M.D.

Playing Dr. Awesome, Microsurgeon M.D. will not evoke a wide range of emotion or any immense sense of satisfaction upon completion. In many ways, it is the classic mobile title. It is short, swee...

Whereas some may be skeptical about Apple's impact on the gaming world, Apple is naturally confident that products like the iPod Touch are the future of this industry, even making a passive-aggre...
Have Chun-Li on your iPod for ridiculous amounts of money

It seems to me that any electronic product with a lower case "i" preceding its name invariably turns out to be a colossal waste of money. I guess social status is just worth that much t...
Comic-Con 08: Dexter to be iPhone and iPod exclusive

When we last talked about a Dexter videogame, we really weren’t sure what it was going to be about or for what platform. While we still don’t know how the game will operate, it has re...

SNES emulator for iPhone looks promising

A few months back we came across a PlayStation emulator for the iPhone. It was a pretty nifty proof of concept, but as an actual gaming solution it looked to be pretty weak. There are too many b...

While the iPhone and iPod Touch excel at slower paced, touchscreen-based puzzle games, the lack of buttons makes you wonder why anyone would even bother with game emulation for the platform. I g...
Sonic the Hedgehog and Peggle on your iPod? Believe it!

I don't think anyone could've predicted this: Sonic the Hedgehog is up on iTunes, and no, I'm not talking about music from the retro platformer. That's right, Sonic is now a playable iPod game (5...
