Sega calls Samurai BloodShow a "comically vicious action tower defense game." All of those words speak to me. But they left out the card aspect. This game is not afraid to be nerdy, and I love it for that. Samurai BloodS...

The App Store has developed quite an audience for tower defense style games as of late. So it’s no surprise to see a variety of games use different gimmicks and twists. However, Sega’s recent take on the gen...

As of late, Sega has been taking full advantage of the iOS device to show off their new quirky and interesting titles. So it's no surprise to see that they've taken a chance with bringing over a unique arcade title to U.S. Somewhat a craze in the Japanese arcade scene, Brick People is an action/puzzle game that channels Lemmings in it's strategy, but amps it up with it's hectic gameplay.

I knew that there was some solid game making experience among the staff of the newly formed company The Game Bakers, but I didn't know what to expect with their latest game, Squids. The team is made up of former Ubisoft staff...

As I brought up the 2009 Sci-Fi film Moon, Tiger Style co-founder Randy Smith’s eyes lit up. He’s a big fan but he stops short of citing it as an influence on his latest game, Lost Mars. Intentional or not...

Has it really been 20 years since I first played Another World as a mere child, tried to understand what I was supposed to do, failed, and never got beyond the first section? Apparently it has. Eric Chahi's masterpiece was re-released before as Another World - 15th Anniversary Edition, and this iOS version takes the graphical upgrades and adds touch controls, which actually work surprisingly well.

Raccoons are pretty much the best animal ever and it's a shame that so few games feature the little guys. If Tom Nook and Sly Cooper just aren't cutting it for you anymore, former-Silicon Knights producer Erik Peterson's...

Housemarque has been in the business for over sixteen years, but it wasn't until Super Stardust HD (back in 2007) that the Finnish developers went on to make a name for themselves. Since then they've racked up quite an impres...

If you were interested in The Dark Meadow but felt its original asking price was a bit too steep, you've got no excuse now. Phosphor Games' darkly humorous slash 'em up is now a measly dollar on iTunes, so if you've got a buc...

Get ready, yet again, to man the trenches this month when Trenches II marches its way onto iOS-enabled devices. War never changes, war never dies, and war will always be a part of the video game landscape, but that's okay, be...

Most of the time when I see police officers, they are asking gangs of youths to go somewhere else, or looking at me suspiciously because a man with a beard must have something to hide. Mega-City One's top lawman, Judge Dredd...

Groove Coaster is awesome. It's easily one of my favorite iOS titles, and I think that every rhythm game fan should check it out. It's kind of like Rez in the visual department, but the music gaming is much simpler, as it has...
