Way of the Dogg Gameplay Trailer – Nothin’ But A QTE Thang

Summer is fast approaching. That means it’s time to roll down the windows, turn up the music, and get ready for the new Snoop Dogg….Lion….whatever game. Way of the Dogg is a rhythm-based fighting game in which you play as America Jones (which might be the best character name of the year), “the toughest street fighter in town”, who embarks on a path of revenge against the thugs who killed his girlfriend…or something. The gameplay trailer released today gives a [...]

Fish Out of Water Review – In-App Porpoises

I haven’t had too much time for big, expansive games as of late and instead have been using my small amounts of time here and there to absorb smaller games, mostly on my iPhone. Luckily, Halfbrick Studios has me covered. I didn’t know anything about Fish Out of Water before I purchased it. All it took was seeing that Halfbrick had released a new game to get me onto the App Store. Halfbrick have created most of the only iOS games to [...]

Idolm@ster Shiny Festa Out in English for iOS, Will Cost Arm and Leg

So awhile back Siliconera discovered a new trademark for a US version of the rhythm game Idolm@ster Shiny Festa. It turns out now that those trademarks were correct but instead of the original PSP versions of the game, we will be getting them localized for iOS devices (4/S, 5, iPad). That’s not even the kicker! All three games are priced at $54.99 separately, and that’s not even including the DLC that seems to be planned. So if you want all three [...]

Jurassic Park: Builder Review – Spare No Expense

I’ve never understood Facebook games. They’ve always seemed more like sinkholes to either pour time or money into with little result. FarmVille, CityVille, pretty much any of those games that your friends are always bothering you to play with them seem entirely un-fun to me. But, let’s face it. They aren’t for me. Until now. Now there’s a Jurassic Park license involved. Now this game is for me.

[Review] Ridiculous Fishing – Gaze Into the Abyss and You’ll Find the Abyss Gazing Into You

How easy would it be for me to just say Vlambeer’s Ridiculous Fishing is the best fishing game I’ve ever played? Aside from some mini-games in titles such as Legend of Zelda or Deadly Premonition, I haven’t played any fishing games so it wouldn’t be hard at all. So what more then, could I say about Ridiculous Fishing besides the fact that it is indeed, the best fishing game I have ever played? Maybe I’ll just start from the beginning.

[Review] Temple Run: Oz – Flying Baboons and Crumbling Roads

The latest release by Imangi Studios and Disney Mobile is another Disney-fied version of their endless runner games, but this time it’s inspired by Temple Run: 2 and based on the newly-released Oz: The Great and Powerful. In this game, you play as The Wizard (called Oz), who is running from angry flying baboons, surely sent from the Wicked Witch. Following closely after the release of Temple Run 2, this title also has a slew of new features that hadn’t been developed [...]

[News] Pocket League Story is Free on Amazon

A good deal on Kairosoft games is always newsworthy in my opinion. A free Kairosoft game is reason to celebrate. Right now on the Amazon for Android App Marketplace is a free copy of Pocket League Story ready for download. The reason for the freebie is simple. Amazon is now carrying multiple Kairosoft titles and felt they needed to make a splash in a big way. Currently they have on the marketplace English and Japanese titles for the following: Game [...]

[News] Ron Gilbert and Clayton Kauzlaric bringing pirates to iOS

Last night (at the time of writing), Ron Gilbert updated his blog with the above map of the full innards of The Cave’s cave (reviewed on Twinfinite), and then added a note to the end saying he’s departed from Double Fine in the wake of his pursuit of more mobile gaming fun with Clayton Kauzlaric. If you aren’t familiar with their work, check out their free iOS game The Big Big Castle! (I wrote about it once), which lets you [...]

[SXSW] Laying Pipe With Pipe Trouble

Games with environmental appeal usually flounder. Mario Sunshine for example has been remembered with disinterest and while Rainbow Rapture was cute, it was also somewhat demented. So when I stumbled across Pipe Trouble at SXSW, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. When I read that music was provided by members of a band whose naughty name rhymes with ducked up, I figured there had to be something here.

[News] Sega Announces Sonic Dash for Mobile

Having an endless runner featuring Sonic the Hedgehog seems like a no-brainer, so some folks might be pleasantly surprised to know that today, Sega finally have announced just that. There aren’t too many details yet, just that it’ll be titled Sonic Dash and supposedly be available soon. “Soon” could mean anything, though. We may see it as soon as this week, or may have to wait until next month. The other thing we know is that it’s coming for iOS [...]
