(100% off) at iTunes Deal Factor 6.8 (details) Deal Factor for "Mad Chef (iPhone)"
The Deal Factor reflects the value of a deal: it's a score ranging from 0 to 10 that is based on the game's average review score, the percentage of the price drop ("savings"), and the game's age. Deals with the largest savings on the best-reviewed and most recent games have the highest Deal Factors. Since we're snobs, we give more weight to the review score than the savings or age (a bad game doesn't get better just because it's cheap or new, and our goal is to help you find the most attractive deals, not just the cheapest or newest games).

For "Mad Chef" the Deal Factor details look like this:

Weighted Review Score 3.8
Weighted Savings Bonus + 2.5
Weighted Age Bonus + 0.5

New Game Reviews
... from the industry's most credible critics

Wednesday, February 08, 2012

AppSpy 8.0 Brave Beak (iPhone)

Mission based gameplay, touch and glide mechanics, cute cartoon characters. Brave Beak tries to hit all the sweet spots of popular iPhone gaming and for the most part succeeds.

Pocket Gamer 7.0 Blot (iPhone)

A lovely art style complements solid if derivative gameplay - worth a look if you're after the new Jetpack Joyride

Pocket Gamer 6.0 Gorilla Gondola (iPhone)

Awkward controls spoil an original idea in a game that looks better than it plays

AppSpy 6.0 Hello Copter (iPhone)

A nice introduction to the endless runner genre (or in this case the endless flyer). Pleasant visuals but there are some balance issues.

Tuesday, February 07, 2012

IGN 8.0 The Simpsons Arcade Game (PS3)

Look out world, The Simpsons are back.

Game Informer 7.5 The Simpsons Arcade Game (360)

Konami Finally Delivers A Long-Awaited Arcade Classic

Pocket Gamer 7.0 Sticky Bees HD (iPad)

Sticky Bees HD offers a tough but short challenge that's heavy on quick-thinking strategy

Monday, February 06, 2012

AppSpy 8.0 Off The Leash (iPhone)

For a game that doesn't ask for a payment up-front, Off The Leash remains rock solid thanks to its simple, yet fun mix of endless runner gameplay with harsh time-limits that push you to the edge of your skill.

AppSpy 8.0 Running Fred (iPhone)

Running Fred shifts the 'Fred' series in to a whole new dimension, giving the titular 'hero' a whole new set of abilities as he bounces, flips and dodges his way past oodles of deadly traps - a seriously addictive runner with a high skill cap for high-score junkies to enjoy.

Slide To Play 5.0 Tank Hero (iPhone)

Tank Hero is a fun, simple game that evolves the concept of an Atari classic, but it's hindered by its touchscreen controls.

Friday, February 03, 2012

IGN 8.0 The Simpsons Arcade Game (360)

Look out world, The Simpsons are back.

Gamezebo 5.0 Superflick (iPhone)
Superflick (iPad)

Pros: Progression system is fun in theory. Solid framerate. Cons: Goofy physics just don’t satisfy. Lackluster presentation. Unlocking content is a grind.

GameSpot 3.0 The Simpsons Arcade Game (360)

If you have cherished memories of playing The Simpsons Arcade Game, keep holding on to them and ignore this port.

Thursday, February 02, 2012

Gamezebo 8.0 Gorilla Gondola (iPhone)

Pros: Charming visual and audio style. Controls are fluid and easy to handle. Easy to learn, but fairly difficult to master. Cons: Death mechanic is a bit harsh considering the game’s target audience. Levels are rather long, making the death mechanic even harsher.
