Like a pretty waitress who travels from a small town to Hollywood seeking fame and fortune, only to find her dreams broken, Tinseltown Dreams is disappointing and sad. It’s a Match-3 game with honest intentions, but it falls short compared to the star power of other App Store celebrities.
Got any plans for April 3, 2010? A little light yard work, a date, maybe, or a call to your granny?
Or maybe you're drawing up plans for a long wait in a long line with other Apple enthusiasts?
Assassin’s Creed II, on consoles, is a sequel that changed the focus of the assassin’s dreamland from a medieval Middle East to Renaissance Italy, putting you in the role of Ezio, running throughout soaring cities like Rome and Florence. The iPhone already saw a platformer version last month, and now Ubisoft has released a multiplayer game with a suspenseful concept. However, it lacks anything close to the stunning graphics of the console version.
Someone over at Cobra Fridge has clearly been enjoying a game or two of Doodle Jump. In truth, with sales having recently passed the 3 million mark, there can't be many of us who haven't had a crack at tilting that oh-so-cute Doodle up to new heights.
Wired has posted an article on the ethically questionable practice of some iPhone app review sites having developers pay to have their apps reviewed. We at Slide To Play are fervently against this practice, and think it undermines these sites' credibility. In fact, we're a founding member of the Organization of App Testing Standards (or OATS), which pledges against this behavior.
Thanks to the sage words of Spider-Man's Uncle Ben, we all learned that with great power comes great responsibility. To the muscle-bound superhero who takes center stage in The Hero, that responsibility makes him one busy guy. The cities he visits are some of the most crime-ridden, insect-infested war zones in the universe, and he is tasked not only with saving innocent people, putting out fires, and thwarting persistent armies, but also with running a public relations campaign based on high-fiving every fan he flies by. Even for a superhero, that's a lot of work.
Last summer we played a lot of Knights Onrush, a game where you flick and smash attackers who are trying to break down your castle door. That was probably the best example of a “castle defense” game on the iPhone, and it set the bar very high. Since then we’ve played lots of similar titles, and ZombieSmash adds just enough new, like absurd weapons and goofy physics, to make it worth trying as well.
If you are so obsessed with Final Fantasy XIII that you feel the constant urge to ogle art from the game every second of every day, then the app of your dreams has just been released: Final Fantasy XIII Larger-than-Life Gallery. If, on the other hand, you think $8.99 is way too much for this privilege, then your dreams have just been shattered.

Frogman, as this game is now known, has received a debut trailer on Youtube. Check it out!
In this week's podcast, Andrew returns from a week of interviews and demos at San Francisco's Game Developers Conference, offering audio of chats with developers from the games Pocket Creatures, Undead: The Last Refuge, and Zen Bound 2. Plus, we discuss GameFinder, our brand new app.
ImageQuest is a game that gives you nine images and asks you to find the keyword that links them together in under 20 seconds. For example, the game will give you pictures of the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and Paris Hilton, and you must type in "Paris" as the word that links the images.
A wonderful thing is happening right now in mobile gaming. For years, the Korean cellphone gaming marketplace was far more advanced than the American market. In Korea, gamers were having in-depth RPG and adventure experiences on their cellphones while the rest of us were getting by with just Tetris and Snake. Now that the iPhone has taken hold, Korean developers like Com2Us can easily port over their insanely detailed and addictive games to the US App Store, resulting in gems like Caligo Chaser.
There’s a reason why the Assault Squadron trailer made the cut as one of our featured videos last week. Not only does this shooter sport a serious visual package, but the scale and density being hinted at seem extremely promising. Looking like a supercharged update of Gradius, Assault Squadron seems to have all the ingredients to be something special. Fresh off of spending our weekend plowing through a preview build, it’s time to share our hands-on impressions.
If you've visited Slide To Play on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or certain other mobile web-connected devices in the last few days, you've probably noticed that we've launched a mobile version of our site.
