iPhone App Video Review: Robot Unicorn Attack 2

Right off the bat, I'm not sure this game will have the same "lightning in a bottle" popularity the original did. It's a massive sequel that adds new features, customization options, different levels, and lots of community based integration. It's much more of a traditional game now, and extremely po ...

iPhone App Video Review: Temple Run 2

We’re now running on a magnificent mountain sky temple instead of a foggy old swamp, with one large demonic skull-faced gorilla to outrun instead of several small ones. Your pathway is no longer completely straight, either. Dips, rises, and bends mixed in with normal obstacles and ledges, often ob ... Full Article »

iPhone App Video Review: Mega Run - Redford's Adventure

Rather than go with the more popular “endless” runner route, this title is divided into various levels. However, the layout of those levels are made up of interchangeable sections, so while each level has the same segments, they’re not always in the same order, and the power-ups that you’ll ...

Polara and other iPhone games that successfully toy with the running game formula

One of the most ubiquitous and probably well-loved game genres on Apple’s iOS platform is the side-scrolling “running” game. There are a number of games that mess with the formula, but basically, they usually amount to players controlling characters that run from left to right, with the player ... Full Article »

Banzai Blade slices through genres but to what effect?

If forced to pick a favorite genre of iPhone game, I’d probably run and hide, there are simply too many strong choices out there. That said, “endless runners,” games you could conceivably play forever in an effort to rack up the longest distance or score, would be near the top of my list. Add ... Full Article »

Finding evolution among Temple Run clones

Last year, Temple Run hit the scene and it immediately took off. Developer Imangi Studios had a pretty brilliant idea – take the endless runner genre, one that was full of titles that were pretty much the same, and take it from two dimensions to three. The result was a game that saw a big spike o ... Full Article »

iPhone App Video Review: Temple Run: Brave

I don't know how many upgrades and power-ups you unlocked in the original Temple Run, but I hope you enjoyed doing it enough to do it all over again. Gameplay still consists of an endless run through a physics defying wilderness, jumping and sliding around obstacles, collecting coins, and nabbing po ... Full Article »

iPhone App Video Review: Escape from Age of Monsters

You play as Gizzard, the surrogate older brother of several orphan children. After being backed into a corner, two mysterious and powerful gauntlets, one red and one blue, present themselves to Gizzard, who is desperate and stupid enough to use them. He then begins fleeing from the monsters, punchin ... Full Article »

iPhone App Video Review: Ski Safari

Ski Safari is wonderfully absurd. After an avalanche hits your mountain cabin and sends you careening downhill in your bed, your adventure begins. I guess this character sleeps with his skis on, and it doesn’t take long to switch over. You simply have to keep up enough speed to outrun this massive ... Full Article »

iPhone App Video Review: On The Wind

Basically, it looks like David played ThatGameCompany's PlayStation Network exclusive Flower and decided to make it 2D, and to replace flower petals with leaves. I have no problems with this, and think it's actually a really cool concept. In the game, you have to deal with dying leaves and the harsh ... Full Article »
