Mobile puzzle games usually don't get a lot of gamer cred. It's a shame, because a lot of them really break the mold, and provide pretty deep experiences if you let them. One such game is Disney's Where's My Water?, and its ...

While many longtime game fans sneer at mobile gaming, I've always tried to keep an open mind about it. Done right, a touch-based game is perfectly valid as a form of interactive entertainment, and while there are plenty of ba...

Remember that Peter Molyneux game that was supposed to "change the world?" You know, Fable? Then Fable 2? Then Fable 3?I kid, I kid. But seriously, Peter "not on rails" Molyneux is now once again promising great things, as hi...

With Grand Theft Auto III and San Andreas already available on the PlayStation Network, it wouldn't make much sense for Rockstar to not eventually put out Vice City too, especially with many regarding it as the best GTA. Well...

I had a chance to check out Square Enix's casual iOS (and soon Android) RPG Wizardlings at New York Comic-Con a week or so back. It's a cute little title that has your hero or heroine moving to lift the darkness and push back...

I've played a lot of endless runners in my day -- and by "my day," I mean ever since I've seen the iOS and mobile market get flooded with them for the past three years. There's only so many times you can watch a dude run from...

Cave is arguably the best thing to happen to mobile gaming. There. Said it. I seriously suck at bullet hell-type games, but I still have to get everything that Cave sends your way for iOS devices. They're that good. The next ...

When The Last Express was first released in 1997, it was considered an incredibly engaging mystery set on the Orient Express as it traveled from Paris to Constantinople on the eve of World War I. In many ways the game was far...

I whiled away many hours in my youth playing Cannon Fodder on the Amiga, mostly replaying failed missions. It could be a brutal game, and its anti-war message was completely lost on my young mind, but I delighted in my victor...

Yesterday, the world spun off its axis in sheer amazement after learning of He-Man: The Most Powerful Game in the Universe. It's an iOS brawler based on the old school series, which makes my nostalgic little soul smile.  Here's a trailer for it, in which the game quite clearly takes the piss out of itself. I can respect that!

Sweet nostalgia is the hook by which Chillingo and Glitchsoft hope to snatch you with He-Man, a new brawler coming universally to iOS devices. It's based on the old cartoon, you see. This means I'm going to buy it. Because I'...

In retrospect, Rovio Entertainment collaborating with Lucasfilm seems spot on. Not so much thematically, but in terms of how both Star Wars and Angry Birds have made obscene amounts of money through merchandising. Now, t...

11 seconds! That's how long this short, sweet trailer for Crazy Taxi will take to watch. Oddly enough, in that amount of time, we're told much of what we need to know about this release. The iOS version of the classic Dreamc...

Former Nintendo of America spokesman Howard Phillips has been sharing tons of goodies from his personal archives lately, and now he shares a game idea. As the original Nintendo "Gamemaster," he was tasked with knowing the in...

Keiji Inafune is a busy man. In the excitement of today's announcement of YAIBA, we failed to mention that his Comcept studio teamed up with Marvelous for another game that was actually just released. J.J. Rockets is a side-s...

This new opening movie trailer and demonstration for upcoming Square Enix title Demon's Score is crazy. There's haunted castles, talking teddy bears, machine guns, demons and knitted caps. That's everything I've ever wanted ...

Even though the game has been available on iOS for a few measly dollars, and on PC for free, Super Crate Box has finally hit the Steam ecosystem. We've already ranted and raved about how great the game is, so Steam fans have ...

A user over at NeoGAF was able to uncover a screenshot posted over on Sega's TGS 2012 website indicating that they plan on porting over the obscure 3DS release Rhythm Thief to iOS platforms. Neat! If you've played the game, t...

I still remember reading about AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! (Force = Mass x Acceleration) for the first time three years ago, compliments of Anthony Burch's Indie Nation series. As a general rule, I'm a hug fan of free-f...

No More Heroes returns to your life as a free-to-play social mobile game. Something tells me that the unique blend of F2P, social gaming, and the mobile market isn't having NMH lovers jumping for joy. In fact it seems perfect...

It was leaked ahead of time that Square Enix was building to an iOS port of The World Ends with You, something that would have infuriated hyped fans under normal circumstances. However, Square Enix had hinted that it wasn't j...

Square Enix and arrogance go hand in hand. The company has shamelessly charged premium prices for mobile games in the past, but its latest effort, Final Fantasy Dimensions, will be expecting as much as many 3DS games demand -...
