We've updated our preview with hands-on video of Pocket Creatures from GDC. See what goes into growing a garden in this very strange, wonderful virtual pet simulator.
In addition to new Splinter Cell screens, we just received the latest Zombie Infection screens as well. Sure, it looks just like Resident Evil 5, but that doesn't mean we're not eager to play it more.
The end is nigh! Horrible, unspeakable devils have risen from the depths to lay waste to our cities. As you draw your bow or start to mumble a fireball spell, you might pause for a moment, because these devils are downright adorable-- they look more like a line of plush dolls than the end of the world. It’s hard to have to fight back when they disarm you so effectively with their cuteness.
After the first Radio Flare launched, we immediately found ourselves hooked to its addicting music-themed gameplay. The way the enemy explosions synced perfectly with the beat was an incredible experience and one we have continued to go back to. Unfortunately, the sequel lags behind in the beat department, but it does do a lot of other things right to justify a purchase.

This week we've got more excellent games to give away: classical rhythm game Maestro Green Groove, dual-stick shooter Catacombs, and the self-explanatory Dude in a Tube. Read on for the rules.
Mike V: Do or Die Skateboarding makes us wonder if the iPhone's game makers are just a little too ambitious. Many of the best games in the App Store are simple, but so many studios seem to be trying to make the next Civilization, Halo, or in this case, Tony Hawk, on Apple's limited device. Mike V: Do or Die Skateboarding is a game that has all the flash to satisfy its skating demographic, but it lacks a good skating experience at its core.
Given the stellar performance of the original Secret of Monkey Island on the iPhone last summer, the suggestion that LucasArts is working on bringing its follow-up to the App Store later this year would hardly be a surprising one.
In a distant jungle resides an undiscovered species of vibrantly colored music-making birds. These lovable orchestrators play their tunes by running along wires, collecting fruits, mashing spiders, and singing. As a music maestro, you must help your pink bird perform its tune by completing these tasks. There are some issues, but we had lots of fun with Maestro Green Groove.
Have you ever been sitting there in geometry class, bored, wishing you could use an array of weaponry to destroy every shape on the chalkboard? If so, Critical Wave has you covered. Like Meteor Blitz, this game wallops you with wave after wave of heat-seeking enemies in a way that would be overwhelming, if not for the flawless controls built in to help you take them on.
Things finally cooled down a bit this week, after the insane number of positive reviews from last week. This week was a little different. Instead of an avalanche, we got just a few really big, interesting news announcements. And while there were plenty of good games reviewed this week, we got only one major bombshell.
When it comes to object-launching physics games, Ragdoll Blaster is the cream of the crop. In this sequel, Backflip Studios improved the fantastic original in many ways, making Ragdoll Blaster 2 the best of its kind on the App Store.
