It's likely that at the brainstorming session for this game, some clever clogs piped up with the undeniably inspired suggestion, "Hey, guys, why don't we fuse Canabalt with Lemmings? That could be kind of cool" Well, 10tons Ltd did. And the result, Grim Joggers, is not only very cool, but also represents a novel new twist on the endless running schtick that's guaranteed keep you glued to your iDevice for many a merry hour, repeatedly trying to beat your best score and grinning from ear to ear at the game's warped brand of sardonic ultra-violence.
Man, I am so not down with the kids. Case in point? I somehow managed to almost completely miss out on the Chop Chop craze that's been sweeping the App Store ever since Gamerizon released Chop Chop Ninja back in '09. So time to make amends and regain some street cred by getting to grips with the latest title in the immensely popular series, Chop Chop Caveman, a timely throwback to the classic sidescrolling platform games of yesteryear, methinks!
Dante joins Nero as a playable character thanks to the latest update, but here's a sad irony: those who are in a position to care most will enjoy Devil May Cry 4 refrain the least. This is the kind of port every series fan fears – stripped down to basic essentials, a truly fragmented experience compared to the console version. Be that as it may, it's clear that Capcom put a laser focus on implementing excellent controls and retaining as much gameplay depth as possible, making this a solid purchase for any Action game fan who can put aside the mere fact of its status as a port.
It can be said with some level of certainty that no game developer has envisioned what would happen if you combined nuclear weapons, disco, and NASCAR. That is, until now! iFanzine recently took Xpect Games' Race After 1977 for a test drive, and there's no doubt racing fans will eagerly anticipate its February release.
Tired of an apparently never ending barrage of bland puzzle games that seem content to rehash the ol' Match-3 formula without ever really contributing much in the way of innovation or originality to the genre? Well, never fear folks, because Spearhead Entertainment's Captain Puzzle is here to save the day with a colorful comic book aesthetic, tongue-in-cheek titular character who, hilariously, looks like a cross between Superman and Johnny Bravo, and over 50 levels of fun-packed action puzzling.
Yes, if you're a longtime veteran of 3D Action RPGs you'll slip up and call Ayden's horse "Epona" a few times, but once you start taking in the excellently crafted vistas of Hy-err, Lasgalen, you won't find much to complain about. Sadly the free trial is a poor representation of the overall product; it shows off the battle system and story well enough, but the major draw here are the intricate dungeon puzzles that lie behind the full purchase price.
You really only have to glance at one of its sumptuous screenshots or give the trailer a quick viewing to get a sense of the care, love and attention that went into crafting Cardboard Castle. It's a shame then that while the game is a stylistic triumph and makes inventive use of its cardboard cut-out world setting, a string of samey puzzles fail to capture the imagination.
So how the heck do we top last week's Dead Space promo code contest that received a record-smashing number of retweets? Simple. We mark the iOS debut of an arguably even bigger game franchise with yet another great giveaway. Yup, you've guessed it, iFanzine are offering one lucky reader the chance to score a copy of Capcom Mobile's Devil May Cry 4 refrain!
As a heavily interactive, Avant-garde horror flick, Hysteria Project 2 succeeds wonderfully at furnishing an impressive psychological experience you might not want to play in the dark. Strictly judged as a videogame, however, Bulkypix's highly experimental offering trips a bit in defying one convention key to the player's experience: the player needs to know the ground rules *before* his or her character dies.
