Lately, I've been very interested in solitaire card games that offer a quick play when you have a few minutes to spare, or a hook that keeps me playing until I lose track of time. Being in portrait mode and playable with one hand is a must if it's going to keep me coming back for more, as I tend to only use my iPad for long, immersive games like point-and-click adventures.…
It would be hard, if not impossible, to have missed out on the hit Tinder-like swiping game, Reigns, which released just a bit over a year ago and became an instant hit, topping the App Store charts. While I didn't review the game, I did interview the developer, Fran╬ô├╢┬úΓö¼Γòæois Alliot, and wrote a very detailed walkthrough for it. The game had an incredibly satisfying mechanic that had you swiping left and right…
Yesterday, I decided last-minute to check out the first ever Play NYC convention in New York. While most games were for PC or console, I did find some mobile games and their developers, as well as some games that could potentially come to mobile in the future. I'm not going to talk about everything I saw, but I did want to discuss some highlights. First off, I got to play the demo…
Hi everyone! I'm back with My Week Unwrapped and I want to do something just a little bit different this time. There have been a lot of great sales lately and I often tweet them out but don't always mention them on here. I don't want to make a new post for every sale, so what I'm going to try is putting the noteworthy sales at the bottom of these posts. Make…
I wasn't going to make a sales post for Christmas, but the games just keep in coming, and good ones, too. So I'm posting the ones I think are must-haves, as well as any other sales that look too good to pass up. Any reviews or walkthroughs I've written will be linked to the titles. I'll be adding more as I see them, so keep checking back. Freebies: 1979 Revolution: A Cinematic…
I'm not sure what's going on. I think it's been a long time since Apple's featured a whole bunch of premium, quality games and put them on sale. Maybe it's for Labor Day? Or maybe it's the indiepocalypse?? Whatever it is, you can snatch all these goodies up for super cheap. Most of them are free of in-app purchases, too, so you can just pay a measly buck and enjoy them as…
The Frostrune By: Grimnir Media & Snow Cannon Games The Norwegian game The Frostrune has been on my radar for years now, and it's finally getting close to release on iOS, Android and other platforms. No hard date has been set, but they're planning for October. I had the opportunity to play a nearly-completed pre-release build and I was given permission to share a short gameplay video with my audience. But first,…
Gemini - A Journey of Two Stars By: Echostone Games LLC In Echostone Games' magical new iOS game Gemini, you control a star on a journey with another star to "light up the sky." It's a story told without words, and yet it's surprisingly powerful. The two stars must work together, because separately they can't soar. I'm not sure how others will interpret it, but to me it's about the importance of…
