Slide To Play 7.5 Boy Loves Girl (iPhone)

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, you've screwed up. Start the level over and try again.

Thursday, February 02, 2012

AppSpy 4.0 Boy Loves Girl (iPhone)

Boy Loves Girl has the feeling of an art game, but the message is overshadowed by frustrating gameplay and bland visuals.

Wednesday, February 01, 2012

IGN 7.0 New Orbit (iPhone)

A story of one man, a shuttle, and gravitational theory.

Monday, January 30, 2012

Pocket Gamer 5.0 Stick Man Rescue (PSP)

A dark sense of humour and an interesting time management system aside, Stick Man Rescue isn't really worth your time, even if it will only take 90 minutes to finish

Thursday, January 19, 2012

Gamezebo 5.0 Stop Those Fish (iPhone)
Stop Those Fish (iPad)

Pros: Fun central mechanic. Solid progression ideas. Attractive presentation. Cons: Novel gameplay is fun for a few minutes but quickly grows old. Obnoxious difficulty that demands IAPs. Sound design is pretty forgettable.

Wednesday, November 23, 2011

AppSpy 8.0 Sea Stars (iPhone)

While Tiny Wings set its course on land, Sea Stars takes to the water with a well made fun gaming experience.

Splitkick 8.0 Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster (360)

Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster is a simple kids game, but it’s also a mesmerizing experience that doesn’t pander to its audience. It even throws in jokes for mom and dad like most good children’s media should.

Gamezebo 8.0 Dark Dot (iPad)

Pros: Drawing mechanic is innovative and incredibly fun. Lovely graphics and music. Lots of goofy fun to be had while the game lasts. Cons: Much too short.
