Zombie Samurai (iPhone)

Sale Price $0.00 SALE

(100% off) at iTunes Deal Factor 6.0 (details) Deal Factor for "Zombie Samurai (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 "Zombie Samurai" the Deal Factor details look like this:

Weighted Review Score 3.0

... from the industry's most credible critics

Friday, February 10, 2012

IGN 8.5 Grand Slam Tennis 2 (PS3)

A very confident entry into the tennis genre from EA Sports.

Pocket Gamer 8.0 DoDonPachi Blissful Death (iPhone)

Another bullet-dodging thrill ride from the king of crazy shmups. But as a straight port of a 2002 arcade game, it doesn't feel as fresh as its Cave cohorts

1UP 7.7 Gotham City Impostors (PS3)

The team that brought us No One Lives Forever gets another chance to go for laughs.

Slide To Play 7.5 DoDonPachi Blissful Death (iPhone)

Your pilot's name is Talky Tina, and she's going to kill you.

Slide To Play 7.5 The Lost City (iPhone)

The Lost City isn’t extraordinarily rewarding, but it’s a pretty pleasant adventure.

Slide To Play 7.5 One Epic Game (iPhone)

One Epic Game isn’t epic by any stretch of the imagination, but it’s a whole lot of fun.

Gamezebo 7.0 Food Fight iOS (iPhone)

Pros: Top notch production. Hilarious puns for the named cards. Cons: Not especially deep. Way to much on screen to really play on small devices.

Game Informer 7.0 Shank 2 (PS3)

Shank 2 Review: Blinded By Bloodlust

IGN 7.0 Gotham City Impostors (PS3)

A Batman first-person shooter. My god.

Slide To Play 5.0 Star Warfare: Alien Invasion (iPhone)

Star Warfare: Alien Invasion doesn't offer anything we haven't seen before in a dual-stick shooter.

Thursday, February 09, 2012

IGN 9.0 UFC Undisputed 3 (PS3)

UFC Undisputed returns to the Octagon refreshed and ready to fight.

AppSpy 8.0 DoDonPachi Blissful Death (iPhone)

DoDonPachi Blissful Death takes you a few years in to the past before the events of Resurrection and puts you in control of the 'dolls' you'll eventually need to destroy; as such it's just as frantic and energetic as the series ever gets and a solid release from bullet-hell developer CAVE.

Gamezebo 8.0 Ragdoll Blaster 3 (iPhone)

Pros: Great graphics and sound. Fun physics puzzling gameplay. Very clever level designs. IAP system is totally optional. Cons: Physics system seems to enjoy freaking out every now and then.

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.

Gamezebo 6.0 Raid Leader (iPhone)

Pros: Lovely character models and still images. Drag and drop gameplay mechanics work nicely. IAP system is fairly affordable. Cons: English translation isn't all that great. In-game environments don't really do much. Gameplay feels rather shallow. Audio won't turn on or off reliably. Zero replay value.
