Oh boy, so many ads. Thats the first thing that I thought when I fired up Dodge Hero, a brand new iOS title from indie games developer Swinapps Games LLC. This is a real shame as the game looks really polished. Swinapps should have just skipped the USD 1.99 ad-removal in-app purchase...
Phew.. A whole bunch of interesting work-related projects, and a highly-coveted promotion = a very busy not much time for mobile games. So how did I actually maintain some form of equilibrium in this work-life mix? Answer, to take the edge off the amount of output I put into work, I had a mix of []
The one comment that came out from our mouths when my wife and I finally got to watch Mad Max: Fury Road was somewhere along the lines of Wow, that was over-the-top. They dont make movies like this anymore. Did you know as well that theres a Mad Max game coming out this...
Ive been playing a brand new game from indie developer Alper Sarikaya, titled Sword of Xolan and I must say, it has been very difficult to put down the phone and this is despite the fact that Ive a short attention span with mobile games. Made in the vein of classic 2D platformers like...
So, I was playing this new iOS game called Agent Awesome from Mexican indie video game developers Chaos Industries, and it was pretty interesting, until it got on my bad side. The tutorial level was straightforward; Agent Awesome is a bit like that old PC title, Incubation: Time is Running Out, borrowing...
Theres an interesting story behind Butterscotch Shenanigans (the makers of both Towelfight 2, and Quadropus Rampage) upcoming cross-platform indie title Crashlands, a gargantuan adventure/crafting RPG that is full of sass. Sam Coster, 1/3 of the trio of brothers forming Butterscotch had a...
I recall the time when Mario Kart DS was released for Nintendos revolutionary console, the DS. It was crazy. My friends and I were busy playing the game online; we didnt let the troublesome friend code system, or the fact that the DS was very picky when it came to working with certain wireless...
I remember reviewing Loot Hero back in February 2014 (read all about it here), and it seems that indie developer VaragtP Studios have not been resting on their laurels and that is a good thing. Theyve announced the worldwide release of Loot Hero DX, their latest retro-inspired PC-RPG available via...
I was watching this weeks episode of Hannibal yesterday, and this was the episode where the good doc gets his behind handed to him by Jack Crawford. Yup, this was round 2 of the fight that headlined last seasons cliffhanger ending, but this time Jack came prepared having cast away everything...
Uruguayan indie developers Batovi Games Studio has just released their latest iOS game, The Abduction of Bacon at Dawn, The Chronicles of a Brave Rooster. Quite a mouthful, so well just call it Brave Rooster. The game is a tongue-in-cheek action and humour-packed platform shooting game that...

Boxing has given us some truly memorable moments over the years. The much loved sport is one of the most exciting to watch, that is of course if you happened to miss the bore-fest between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. A sport like boxing is very lucky, not only does it make for compelling viewing in...
Congratulations are in order for one of our long time acquaintances, MADFINGER Games as they scored their very own booth during the recently concluded E3. They have come a long way since we covered Samurai Vengeance years ago, and have grown from strength to strength, boasting more than 100 million+...
I think one of the coolest things that DCs New 52 has done would be to replace Bruce Wayne as Batman with Jim Gordon after the formers death. Yup, our good old Gotham City Police Department commissioner is the one holding the mantle of the Bat, even though his Batman is him being in a...
OMG, Tony Hawk is back! But why does the upcoming Tony Hawks Pro Skater 5 look like crapand theres no PC version? I just gone through the screenshots, and the video and came away unimpressed. Normally I would get all fan-boy over games that I really like, but this, this looks bad.
Heres something to check out in July; the folks at indie developers Bros Universe are about to launch their highly anticipated classic platformer, GASOLIQ, for FREE on iOS devices. Judging from the screenshots alone, gamers are in for a visual blast with this 2D title. The title character, GASOLIQ...
Many years ago, I used to watch reruns of Wacky Races on Cartoon Network on my cable TV provider (Mega TV, anyone remember that?). Those were fun times. Fast forward to the 21st century, world-class mobile game publisher Cartoon Network Games has announced kart racing game Formula Cartoon All Stars, now...
When Apple announced that iOS 8s keyboard extensions, I kinda expected folks to take advantage of it to introduce some really cool stuff. True enough, the folks at Disney Interactive, yup, that Disney, have launched Disney Gif, a mobile keyboard extension that lets users easily send gifs and emojis...
15 years ago, if you were to tell me that folks in the future would be able to play Solitaire on their watches, I would have called you a hack. But yeah, the developers at MobilityWare Inc have updated their super popular iOS title, Solitaire, to be Apple Watch App, allowing folks to play Solitaire []
