Instead of a post-holiday lull, this January has been a surprisingly strong month for new iOS games. Out of several new Must Have games, one action-strategy game stands out, like a siege tower on a battlefield full of orcs and skeleton warriors. Our Game of the Month for January 2013 is Heroes and Castles, by Foursaken Media. (more…)
Traditionally, December is a big month for iOS gaming, and this year it did not disappoint. Many of the best games released this month were ports from other consoles, and our top pick originally came out a decade ago for PlayStation 2. To this day, it remains one of the most lauded and best-selling games of all time. (more…)
Between the Presidential election, Thanksgiving, and hundreds of new iOS games, November has been a very eventful month. Angry Birds Star Wars may have been the talk of the turkey table at Thanksgiving, but it’s a stylish, Western-themed combat game that earns one of our site’s highest honors. (more…)
October has come and gone, and it has left a trail of Must Have games in its wake. We played and reviewed a lot of the biggest games to hit the App Store, but one stands above all others. It’s an endless brawler from the makers of Hook Champ and Sword of Fargoal, and it’s a total blast. (more…)
As we approach the holidays, we’re going to start seeing a lot more licensed games and big-budget originals hit the App Store. For September’s Game of the Month winner and runner-up, we’ve got one of each: a console hero returning to iOS, and a one-of-a-kind mobile game that you won’t find anywhere else. (more…)
On the App Store, there’s no such thing as a summer slump. Sure, things heat up around the holidays, but awesome new games arrive every day throughout the year. In July, we played some of the best iOS games ever made, but only one managed to feel like both a familiar classic and a cutting-edge, modern game: Fieldrunners 2. (more…)
iOS is one of the most vibrant video game platforms out there, with a crazy number of excellent games releasing every month. In June we played a lot of great titles, including an elegantly simple two-player board game (OLO Game) and an adventure title that addresses horror and darkness in a way we rarely see (Yesterday). But it was a card battling game that earned our Game of the Month award for June. Magic 2013 is all we’d hoped it would be and more. (more…)
Nary a month goes by without a number of great iOS games being released, and May was no different. New entries in terrific series of first-person shooters, fighting games, platformers, and strategy games all hit this month, and received wide acclaim and Must Have scores. But a new flying game from N-fusion Interactive earned our Game of the Month award for May. It’s called Air Mail, and it’s an absolute delight. (more…)
March has been another fantastic month for iOS gamers. The power of the new iPad, along with its Retina screen, make it a welcome addition to the iOS hardware lineup, creating all sorts of potential for amazing games. One Retina-ready game released in March really connected with us as gamers more than any other: Swordigo, by Touch Foo. (more…)
February was yet another strong month for great games on the App Store. The games we gave Must Have scores to were Reckless Racing 2, Beat Hazard Ultra, Midway Arcade, Pizza Vs. Skeletons, League of Evil 2, Frederic – Resurrection of Music, Beat Sneak Bandit, and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. But there can only be one Game of the Month, and this month it’s Fairway Solitaire, a game that proved there’s still plenty of life left in the classic card game. (more…)
Apparently there’s no such thing as a January slump on the App Store, because a number of Must Have games were released last month. The games we gave 4′s to in January were Run Roo Run, Star Marine: Infinite Ammo, Scramble With Friends, Smash Cops, Windosill, Puzzlejuice, Triple Town, Hank Hazard, and Order Up!! To Go. But there can only be one Game of the Month, and this month it’s Jazz: Trump’s Journey, a wonderful, unique platformer from Eggball Games. (more…)
