February turned out to be a pretty slow month for Must Have games here at Slide To Play. Still, we handed out Must Have scores to five titles, and one of them stands above the rest. It’s a racing game that may not take place on a large scale, but it packs all the fun and excitement of a great kart racer and shrinks it down to the size of Micro Machines. Our Game of the Month for February 2013 is Table Top Racing, by Playrise Digital. Read More

Google has released a barebones browser game for computers called Super Sync Sports. The neat thing about it is that you can control the game using your smartphone. It even supports four-player multiplayer. But before you dive in, be aware that the game itself is nothing to get excited about. In a blog post, Google says they made the game to show developers what’s possible with the Chrome browser. Read More

DeNA, the makers of the upcoming first-person shooter The Drowning have just released a video that explains the game’s unique control mechanic.

Here’s an interesting switch: A video game that won’t be coming to North America because fans want to see it buried.

Read More
The last thing you want at the height of the flu season is for some jerk to spray his spittle all over you, but this is one sneeze you’re going to want to share. Gesundheit!, the award-winning action/puzzle game from Revolutionary Concepts, is Apple’s most recent App of the Week, and is therefore free for a limited time. Read More
If Angry Birds has taught us anything, it’s that ham and eggs don’t always go well together. But last years’ Bad Piggies demonstrated that the green pigs aren’t necessarily bad; they’ll just use their endless well of creativity (and garbage) to sate their appetites for bird embryos. It turns out a pig’s work is never done, and that’s why Rovio has an update for Bad Piggies in the works. Read More
Gun Bros 2 is almost ready to launch on the App Store! According to Glu, It’ll launch on both the Mac and iOS App Stores simultaneously the week of February 21.

MAME, the arcade emulator, is back on the App Store—for now, and in a rather roundabout way. Last week saw the release of a free app called Gridlee, a shooter game that was originally conceived for the ‘80s arcade scene. Gridlee never received its arcade release, but its developer, Videa, has allowed the ROM to be copied and distributed for non-commercial use.

Nintendo has been notoriously slow about entering the mobile world in any capacity, but it looks like the company is ready to integrate part of its universe with smartphones.

Will we be able to use our iPads to sketch and post on the go? Maybe we’ll be able to snap and share pictures. “Hey guys, am I crazy or does this stain on the subway floor look like a pony?” Read More
If your cellphone service provider is Verison, then chances are good that you own an iPhone.

February will mark a year of me writing for Slide To Play. During that time, I’ve had a blast reviewing games. While we can’t review everything, if I could jump in the Wayback Machine, there are a few great games that came out in 2012 that I would have loved to have taken a crack at. Here’s my personal list of the best games that didn’t get reviewed.
Do things feel a little different around Slide To Play? It’s not just you.
After two months and change of frenzied development, we’ve launched a new version of the site. Yes, it may LOOK a lot like the old site we all know and love–plus some bugs we are working to resolve ASAP–but believe you me, this is not your Daddy’s STP. We’ve rebuilt the whole thing from scratch.
Our original system served us very well for four years, so why would we make such a dramatic change? Because we had to. We outgrew our setup in the fall, resulting in downtime and other assorted nastiness. All of a sudden, we felt like we were losing our grip on our mission, which is to keep you up to date on the best games for your iDevice and make the App Store a better place for everyone. Needless to say, we were bummed.
No longer. The new STP is fast, reliable, and up to date. It’s a platform primed for growth, just like the one we cover.
You may already be noticing the snappier load times and the streamlined interface… and we’re just getting started. Many more improvements are on the way in the coming days.
So, have a look around and let us know what you think in the comments. As always, STP belongs to our readers first and foremost, and we want to make this the best site it can possibly be.

The National Rifle Association has released an iOS game called NRA: Practice Range. It’s a free target shooting app that features a variety of real guns.

Read More
For a long time, our review of the original Kingdom Conquest was one of the most-read articles on this site. That’s probably because it was one of the early freemium games to offer the just right amount of content and strategy, without making players feel like they had to spend money to continue playing. Fans of that game are in luck, because Sega is bringing Kingdom Conquest II to the US soon. You can watch the trailer below, and pre-register now by clicking here. Read More

The iPhone is so popular and widespread that even the name ‘iPhone’ is practically a generic term for a smartphone. But while Apple is still the go-to brand for most folks’ smartphone needs, there’s been a noticeable market shift in recent months: iPhones are costly, and that’s one major reason why Android phones are rapidly gaining popularity. According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Apple has noticed in a big way, and is developing a cheaper iPhone in response. Read More
