Triple Town Review

Review Posted by Chris Reed, January 27th, 2012

 Boxshot  Boxshot

In an App Store stuffed to the brim with clones and tired ideas, a game like Triple Town is a rare treat. Like chess, it’s a strategy game with a set of simple rules that govern the actions of a variety of pieces. Also like chess, the deeper you dig, the more complexity you unearth. To top it off, the game is mega-addictive, and it's free to play. Not bad for a game full of cartoon bears.

Hatchi Review

Review Posted by David Oxford, January 26th, 2012

 Boxshot  Boxshot

Before Nintendogs and other pet-raising simulators became a smash hit, and before Digimon reached the phase where fans would argue whether or not it was a rip-off of Pokemon, there were games like Hatchi: a simple, digital/virtual pet that occupied small keychains and electronic toys bearing black-and-white dot-matrix screens. You would basically hatch and raise your pet by doing everything one might do to a real pet: naming it, feeding it, playing with it, etc.

Paper Monsters Review

Review Posted by Devin Wilson, January 26th, 2012

 Boxshot  Boxshot

Making a good platformer for the iPhone can be a challenge, which is part of the reason we’ve seen the auto-runner genre explode in popularity. The simpler control scheme lends itself well to a touchscreen, whereas more traditional platforming can be pretty unwieldy. However, once in a while a platformer comes along that works well in more than just one dimension of gameplay. For the most part, Paper Monsters is an example of said quality.
