Welcome to the new frontier, they call it “The Blister”. Sometime in the 22nd century, mankind has been fighting a civil war over what’s left of the fertile land on a far off post-apocalyptic planet. Watching the tide of the war shift one way or another is a great source of entertainment back on Earth, but […]
Sci-Fi & Fantasy on Netflix – April 2016
There’s a of lot of great sci-fi and fantasy on Netflix this month, and I’m not going to point out every title, (I hope you already know The Princess Bride and V for Vendetta for example) but to point out a few you might have overlooked… Mr. Nobody (2009) The Machine (2013) Automata (2014) Europa Report (2013) […]
Aliens Infestation
The perfect handheld space marine game. Most of the games I’ve played in the Alien series have sucked.* Which is particularly disappointing because I am such a huge fan of Alien. But Aliens Infestation breaks away from the rest, and is a noteworthy 2D side-scroller even if you’re not a fan of the franchise. You […]
Outsurf Certain Death in Time Surfer by Kumobius Games
The end is near so go out in style, grab a board and surf the end of the universe. Time Surfer is everything you hope for in an endless runner. The premise is great, play is fast and challenging, the menu is steamlined, you get pets, and without too much of an investment in time […]
The Best in Tower Defense Now On Android! Kingdom Rush Frontiers by Ironhide
Many have tried their hand at tower defense, but legendary among them is Ironhide who for a second time has created a TD masterpiece. Back when I reviewed Kingdom Rush I was left wanting more, and today here it is. You may have been playing it for months on iOS, but finally today it was released on Android and […]
Cut a Bitch Throughout the Metal Slug Series on Android
If you haven’t been playing the Metal Slug series for nearly 2 decades already then I’m sorry, you’ve been missing out. But now is your chance to play (or replay) one of the most legendary videogame collections of all time, because a big chunk of the series has been ported to Android. If you have somehow […]
Get Down with Bit.Trip Beat by Gaijin Games
Pong worth listening too. What can I say about Bit.Trip Beat? I like playing it even though I suck at it. The music is awesome. Its got retro simple play. There are some neat graphics going on in the background. And the boss fights are pretty epic. The controls are just like Pong, you tilt […]
The RTS You Didn’t Know You Were Waiting For, Rymdkapsel by Grapefrukt Games
Finally the RTS mobile deserves. A game truly well designed for mobile is above all, lite. Rymdkapsel floats. Martin Jonasson who is Grapefrukt Games has created the perfect mobile RTS by stripping away the traditional RTS to the core and distilling it to its finest essence. Jonasson’s streamlined minimalist approach is so beautiful that with the help […]
Cultivate New Worlds, Walking Mars by Tiger Style
Walking Mars is an amazing tale of discovery. What strikes me most about Tiger Style’s title is that the story more than anything keeps you playing, like the SNES RPGs I played as a kid. Only in Walking Mars, the graphics aren’t grainy pixels, but beautiful (and accurate) portraits of our neighboring planet. You play Liang, a […]
Run, Die, Repeat. Canabalt by Semi Secret Software
It is impossible to play only a single round of Canabalt. You will find yourself retrying again, and again, and again, because the game sucks you into a place where you know that this time you will outdo yourself (and maybe others). Canabalt is hardly revolutionary as a game concept but manages to be addictive. […]
