Today I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Stargate SG-1: Unleashed was available in the App Store. I was surprised because I hadn’t even known that the game was so far along in development. I had read about a Stargate game coming from Arkalis Interactive (the developers behind the other officially licensed Stargate iOS app: [...]
Technically, I think that’s a proper noun (to my knowledge, the clearing of four lines at once, is still written as a Tetris, not a tetris), but it’s a good one, so I’m not complaining.
Three things: One, The Bard’s Tale for iOS is free for a limited time. It’s a birds-eye view dungeon crawler similar in style to the Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance, X-Men Legends, Champions of Norrath, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. While the original The Bard’s Tale series was a western-RPG in the vein of Might & Magic and [...]
The majority of this post was written as part of a survey for Nintendo about my first impressions of the system (some parts were edited or added later). Since writing it, I’ve finally been able to play the device and it’s quite fun. But, I’m still furious about the transition of purchased content from the [...]
I’ve been a fan of Japanese roleplaying games since I was a young child, when I first played Dragon Warrior (originally, Dragon Quest, in Japan) and Final Fantasy on the NES. That love did not fade throughout the years, and I still love to play a good, old-fashioned melodrama now and then. The Final Fantasy [...]
There is no shortage of racing games for iOS. This isn’t really surprising, considering how well accelerometer and gyroscopic controls can be tuned to make racing games more fun (unless the controls are really, really bad). When the App Store was first revealed, there were no kart racers available. Soon, though, Pangea Software ported Cro-Mag [...]
I was a huge fan of Infinity Blade and when Infinity Blade II arrived, it brought a number of amazing enhancements to the game that greatly improved on the formula. I really loved the enhanced story, especially after having read the Infinity Blade: Awakening ebook which bridged the two games. I was even more excited [...]
More than a year ago, I began playing the original Final Fantasy for iPhone and during the course of the game, I made a series of posts to GetGlue as I accomplished various milestones. I had always intended to flesh them out into a journal of sorts from the point of view of the Light [...]
When Infinity Blade was released for iOS, iPhone and iPad gamers all over the world became very, very excited. Here was a game with incredible graphics, marvelous gameplay, and an exciting (albeit threadbare) story. And, as can always be expected when a genre-defining hit is born, the clones slowly began to surface. It took some [...]
It’s the Ides of March, and you know what that means! It’s time to open our Ides of March presents! Hey, wait… why did you get me a sharp, stabby thing? Ow! That really hurts! Wait, I get it. You’re trying to draw a parallel to the most important Ides of March gift of all: [...]
