Updated: Apple Cracks Down on Sexy iPhone Games and Apps

Posted by Andrew Groen, February 22nd, 2010

Daisy Mae is back in the App Store! Seems Apple got a little overzealous with their censorship. There's really nothing that offensive about Daisy Mae, except of course, the dull gameplay. We may not like your game, developers, but we'll support your right to sell it.

Ngmoco's Rolando 3 Going Freemium

Posted by Andrew Groen, February 19th, 2010

Instead, Ngmoco wants to move the rest of its business in the direction of its recent releases, Touch Pets Dogs and Eliminate Pro.

Cheap Shot: Robot Rampage

Posted by Andrew Groen, February 18th, 2010

In Robot Rampage, you're placed in the giant metal shoes of an alien destroyer sent to Earth to level block after block of buildings while incinerating the very best that the puny Earthling armies have to throw at you. If that doesn't have you sold already, then we don't know what's going to do the trick.

Cheap Shot: Gold Keeper 2

Posted by Andrew Groen, February 16th, 2010

Cheap Shot: Tractor Beam

Posted by Andrew Groen, February 12th, 2010

With the huge success of Doodle Jump, the critical darling that is Canabalt, and the recent reveal of Avalanche Game, the never-ending platformer genre is really taking off. Tractor Beam isn't exactly a platformer due to its unique method of movement, but it's every bit as worthy as those other games.
