A couple of years following its debut on iPhone, turn-based RPG Chaos Rings has become available for Android devices 2.3 and up. I would have figured that Square Enix and developer Media.Vision would drop the price a bit give...

Given Activision's love of releasing ten billion Guitar Hero games a month, it's somewhat surprising that the evil publisher has taken so long to wrap its tendrils around iTunes. Titles like Tap Tap Revenge have already demon...

id's upcoming post-apocalyptic shooter RAGE is still almost a year away, but why should we wait that long before getting to blast some of the ugliest mutants this side of Total Recall?

A lot of high profile iOS games have been flooding the market recently, and while we'd love to review them all, many of them slip through the cracks. We'd also love to give each game its own dedicated review, but the nature o...

Ahhh Death Rally, what memories you have given me back in the day. The old Remedy logo, the Apogee splash screen, the fact that it was basically Micro Machines with guns; what wasn't there to like? Now, almost 15 years after ...

Here's a little indie game that caught my eye the other day. It was made in 11 hours during the '360 iDev GameJam' and later found its way to Kongregate and the Apple app store. As cheap little iOS games go, Three Trees is on...

If you want to make it to the top of the iPhone App Store, it seems that the more birds your game has, the better it will sell. That is, if the gameplay itself is engaging, addictive, and fun. Enter Air Penguin, the new #1 iPhone game on the App Store. Air Penguin certainly has a bird -- a fat penguin, no less -- but is it really that addictive and fun?

Burn it All is quite a departure from Pastagames' previous game Pix'n Love Rush.

A wise man once told me that one's worth is measured by one's vocabulary. Okay, nobody's ever told me that, but you'd better believe that you will live and die by that maxim when it comes to Quarrel. Quarrel is a quirky take ...

You may remember that back in February Activision took an axe to its stable of rhythm  franchises. Regrettably, they also laid off a good number of the folks who had previously worked on those games. It's never good when...

Desert Zombie: Last Stand is a third-person shooter powered by Epic's Unreal Development Kit. As you can tell from the footage above, it features lots of undead bastards and plenty of guns to kill them with. Looks like a laugh, provided they make the controls decent.  The game's in it's alpha stage, and it looks pretty good so far. Knock it out at the right price, and I'm all about it.
