Triple Town Game for Iphone,ipad

Triple Town Game for Iphone,ipad





A deceptive little beast of a puzzler, Triple Town lures you close and sinks its teeth in before demanding you feed it more of your hard-earned cash. This clever hybrid of match-three puzzles and settlement planning gameplay from Spry Fox is insidiously addictive, but poorly conceived micro-transactions soon suck all the joy out of the experience.

Your quest to develop the biggest town possible starts with plunking down shrubs, trees, roaming bears, and other randomized objects into open squares on the land grid. Matching three of the same resource crafts a more valuable object and frees up crucial space on the playing field. Combining three trees produces a house, for example, earning your more points toward your town construction goal.

A lot of strategy comes into play in planning your expansions to keep the lot from locking up, and the gameplay is a blast once you build into a steady rhythm. Unfortunately, this is right about when everything grinds to a halt and you’re forced to spend an extra $4 to unlock more turns and additional content to keep playing. You can sit and wait for your turn quota to slowly regenerate, but by that point the game’s luster fades away.

God of Defence game Review

God of Defence game Review

G. O. D.: God of Defence from MGame Mobile is a brand new tower defense title that offers a twist on the genre’s traditional game play.

Castle defense comes in all flavors and themes, but most games follow an army vs. army set up. Whether you’re fighting with stick figures, fantasy characters, or tanks, it’s a numbers game. G. O. D.: God of Defence is unique in that the player is not commanding an army, but building up the powers of the citadel’s “god of defence,” instead. This original game design lends G. O. D.: God of Defence a personality all its own but that's where the problems begin.

The player’s point of view is that of, well, a giant god that’s defending a castle. The game’s controls are fairly simple yet very hard to get used to. The player operates as the hand of the god, using fire, plasma, and ice skill attacks as well as special items but it takes too long to use these skills. The approach to the castle is approximately two screen lengths; to view different areas, the player can simply tilt the device to the right or left for horizontal movements and vertical movements are handled by sliding but this was probably one of the worst things the developer ever could of done, it's very uncomfortable and ruins the game. A target which blinks above the hand helps focus basic attacks, and appropriate indicators are used for items and special attacks, like placing mines. The controls are well placed to give a good view of the combat, which is essential—the player might be a god, but at times the opposing forces have to be taken out individually.

G. O. D.: God of Defence melds castle defense with RPG-esque skill development. This gives the gameplay a completely different feel than other games in the genre, because the player has all of his or her eggs in one basket, as it were. The player must formulate an effective defense against a large range of varied enemies, by developing one individual (albeit powerful) defender but this is basically impossible as it's obvious that the developer is greedy and wants the player to buy the in-game items. This might, initially, seem less complex than traditional castle defense, but it actually presents a fairly unique challenge, since the player is restricted to the skills and items with which he or she enters each stage, since the shop for upgrades and items isn’t available during gameplay. So players need to think out their strategies ahead of time.

The game is set in a dark fantasy environment, and the enemy soldiers (at least the ones I’ve seen so far) consist of skeleton warriors of different classes and abilities. While there’s an enemy guide, it doesn’t preview the images for the classes the player has yet to face, though it does preview their stats and intriguing silhouettes. The menus are handled on the stage select screen; the player taps the tabs for inventory and skills to upgrade and equip for their next battle. The audio is a pretty run of the mill death-march with appropriate combat sound effects.

G. O. D.: (God of Defence) gives players a chance to experience tower defense in a new way, and it’s available for free in the App Store but I suggest staying away from it as there are much better games out there.

Judge the zombies game for android,iphone,ipad

Judge the zombies game for android,iphon,ipad

Yes, we love Zombie games and when something like Judge Dredd v/s Zombies comes along for free, we are sure to grab it in a jiffy. The game funda is simple, you play as the formidable Judge Dredd who is the law (which he keeps reminding us time and again through out the game) judge, jury and exter­minator.

The city has been infested with zombies and you need to kill them all to bring back peace into the world. The game can be played in three modes - Story, Arena and PSI. The story mode has various levels with an area that one needs to clear. In Arena mode the levels are divided into sectors where you need to kill as many as possible to get points and in PSI mode you can intercept the future crimes and earn big money.

You get various types of guns and can upgrade their capabilities with the credits that you earn. There are many other power-ups like sprint, enhanced stamina, instant reload, etc., that you can also spend your credits on. Gameplay is simple - the right side of the screen has the movement control where as on the left lie the buttons for firing and reload.

The graphics and the background music set the mood for a zombie thriller and one can actually imagine feeling the squishy green blood of the zombies splattering all over as one wades through them.

The only thing that bothered us was that there are no checkpoints in the game so if you are at the fag end of a level and end up being zombie food, you have to start all over again. Judge Dredd vs Zombies can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store for $0.99 ( approx Rs. 49).

Shadowguns game for ipad,apple,android

Shadowguns game for ipad,apple,android

It’s always fun to be a warrior and fight and subdue hostile enemies on their own turf. And if this warrior is a modern day mercenary or bounty hunter based in the year 2350, that’s even better! The best of these mercenaries are called Shadowguns and you, John Slade are the best of the best. Your mission in the game is to find manic genius Dr. Edgar Simon and in process destroy his mutant army. The game is available in two versions – Shadowgun which works on Tegra 2 devices and is available for approximately Rs. 335; and Shadowgun THD which comes for the same price but works on devices with NVIDIA Tegra 3 processors. And no this is not just processor hype – the first thing that you notice is that the game has strikingly amazing graphics giving it a console-like experience. We found that while the visual experience was great handling the controls was not that easy.

The screen is divided into two parts, the left part is for movements and the right one has (too many) controls for moving the viewing angle, shooting, reloading and rolling over. John Slade is not alone in the adventure. He has S.A.R.A.—Slade’s personal android assistant to support him. There are three modes to play the game, easy, normal and hard.

The action is almost non-stop, the locales stunning and the gaming experience is hampered only by the less than touchscreenfriendly controls. If you have a high performance device like an Asus Transformer Prime, this is one game you have GOT to play.

Lost Monsters game review for iphone,ipad

Lost Monsters game review for iphone,ipad

All the monsters have disappeared and you have to bring them home to their families! To catch them, you have to slide and be quick! Basically, at $0.99, it’s the hottest new tile match game in the app store. You can use the bombs to blow up the boards, combo moves unlock even more bombs.

What I’m missing, but I’m guessing I may be the only one, is a logical story. So there are these pet monsters and they’ve just packed up and left for no apparent reason. And their families want them back. If we don’t fix the reason they left in the first place (ill treatment? dietary issues? Like “Don’t feed them after dark”?) won’t they just leave again?

Anyway, maybe let’s not over-think this, the game itself is quick and snappy, controls work really well, the music is catchy and overall it’s rather an addictive game. Even if I’m not sure WHY we’re off catching these monsters….. And they sure are cute! (so maybe that’s why?)
This is their own trailer on Youtube. It’s kinda hard to follow because the letters are gone before you can read them, but it gives you a good general idea:

Crazy Miner Bob game for iphone and ipad

Crazy Miner Bob game for iphone and ipad

















Crazy Miner Bob used to live a normal life as a regular guy, but he got caught by gold rush and now he spends his time digging for gold. I’ll tell you straight up that I absolutely adore this game. It’s not that hard to play, you can get started without any tutorials, and the level of difficulty just increases at exactly the right pace. You grab the gold, as if you’re in an arcade digging for stuffed bunnies and fake gold watches, and you have to reach a certain level of points before you’ve cleared the level. You can grab the rocks as well to score extra points. After a few starter levels, things get more complex because there’s this pesky mouse that keeps trying to steal your gold, so you have to be quick and grab him! That is until he cottons on and starts wearing a little helmet…

Cute and addictive is how I’d sum up Crazy Miner Bob. There are so many violent games out there, even Angry Birds is about well, angry birds and stealing. This is so innocent and I just love the banjo music, very apt (and I’m still humming).
Definitely worth getting, especially if you want to play with kids and don’t want them to play too many violent games.

Elder Sign horror game iphone

Elder Sign horror game iphone
















Elder Sign is really a derivative of the larger fantasy horror game Arkham Horror. Both games are based in the world of H. P. Lovecraft, best known for his monster Cthulhu. Both games are cooperative board games that pit you against an ancient evil that is trying to wake up, and while that is happening you are trying to survive the monsters that are spawning around the board. Elder Sign is an abbreviated dice rolling game compared to Arkham Horror, but has a significantly shorter play time from the behemoth of AH. Elder Sign: Omens is in turn an abbreviated version of Elder Signs the board game though as we look it will be apparent that Fantasy Flight could upgrade the game to include the full range of features.

Elder Sign: Omens starts off with you choosing four investigators from the sixteen from the original game. Each investigator has an innate ability as well as some starting equipment. You can choose your investigators to compliment each other, or go for a random team, which I found was much more challenging. From there you are treated to a nice cut scene which sets the mood very well.

In Elder Sign the board game there are several possible Ancient Ones that you choose from and each has different abilities and when they wake up you then must fight them, which means the game isn’t over until everyone is dead, or insane. In Omens however, the developer has opted for the easier solution of only providing one ancient one; Azathoth. When he wakes up the game is over and everyone loses. I would hope that future updates would bring the other Ancient Ones to the game without all of their different conditions since the first one limits your winning conditions to collecting elder signs.

Elder Sings are collected by finishing missions that provide them as a reward. Each mission is at a different location in the museum and you must accomplish a Yatzee style game of rolling dice or face the marked punishments. Some missions wont give you an elder sign, but they will give you items that you will need to help complete future missions.

Elder Sign: Omens has no multiplayer, but can be played hot seat style especially with the iPad version. I think it would be even better if you could all see the board and watch the others play, but like other board games on the iOS (Settler’s of Catan, Ticket to Ride) the game lends itself to being played on a coffee table with a few friends. The music and sound effects are spot on and will help enhance the mood of this already dark game. The lack of some features from the board game limits my suggestion of purchasing this game instead of the physical version. My opinion could be swayed if I saw further updates to bring it on par, or surpass the board game, but as it stands I would recommend this to anything you already plays the game, or wants to give it a try and see if it is right for them. The $3.99 and $6.99 for iPhone and iPad respectively is a much smaller investment then the $30-40 you can expect to pay for the original. Grab your notebook and get ready to face your worst fears in Elder Sign: Omens, now available on the app store.

Lost Winds game for iphone

Lost Winds game for iphone

Lost Winds, the whimsical adventure platformer game that has been a favorite of many on the Wii’s WiiWare store has been ported to the iOS and released as a universal app. The game garnered much praise on the Wii Platform with its unique controls and deep ambiance. Can Frontier Development bring that same magic to the small screen?

I remember loving this game on the Wii in spite of its short coming. It was a charming tale of a little boy that helps a wind spirit save the world from an evil spirit. You controlled Toku with the nun-chuck and remote, making swipes to blow wind that lifts you and other objects. This control is easily translated into swipes on the screen. I found some of the more advanced moves to be a bit challenging, but otherwise it was a good transition.

The game walks you slowly through the controls and has a nice linear difficulty increase. As you progress you gain different abilities that open up new areas of the world. Speaking of the world, the environment is intoxicating with peeks into an expansive world of cliffside houses and waterfalls. The little details like the villagers that react to your gusts of winds, help make this game a pleasure while traversing the map.

One feature I found helpful was the addition of a map that shows you where a new area that have opened up. Playing this game can be difficult in bright areas at time, since the darker cave locations make it hard to spot cliffs or paths when your brightness isn’t set to its highest.

The game gives you three save slots which is great if you have family that shares an iOS device. While this game is by no means long, there is plenty of content to enjoy and it lacks that dragging feeling that can sometimes crop up in the midgame of some adventures. I hope that the sequel is also brought to the iOS as this would make for a great combination.

There are many platformers on the iOS and many of them are hands down amazing. Lost Winds is one of those titles you can tell was originally a console game and its has the polish and attention to detail to be a hit on the iOS even at its higher price point. It should be mentioned that the original listed for $10 on the Wii app store so at $3.99 this game is a bargain. If you like Adventure games with immersive graphics and zen-inducing music then give this title a try.

Epoch game for iphone

Epoch game for iphone














Epoch is a polar opposite in terms of theme compared to Infinity Blade. Where IB took place in a fantasy world of Orcs and Castles, Epoch is a post-apocalyptic worlds of debris and shelled out buildings. A world ravaged by a war that you are thrown into without much to understand why. You know you were charged with protecting someone, but where they are and what has transpired to bring all this destruction is story that is pieced together, as you play, from transcripts, and intercepted communications you get through the game.

There isn’t much in the way of humans in the world of Epoch, there is instead an endless stream of robots that want to turn you into a pile of smoking scrap. Luckily, you are not defenseless as you always seem to face them with several bits of debris to hide behind and an ever growing list of weapons to purchase and upgrade. The inventory is very reminiscent of Infinity Blade, though it lacks the experience leveling that IB had. Here you level up based of how you performed on each level. This also determined how much money your make. Don’t worry about having enough though as you can always replay a level to make more money and experience.

The levels are a series of battles where you swipe to change positions avoiding your enemies’ fire while you bring on the hurt with your own munitions. There is some strategy involved in choosing who to take out first to keep from being overwhelmed, and you much be mindful of incoming artillery even when you are in a relatively secure position. The swipe controls works very well for the devices touch screen and shows that developers are really rethinking control schemes to take advantage of the lack of tactile buttons. I do wish there had been save slots in Epoch since as it stands there isn’t any way for two people to share a device, but otherwise I would say Epoch has hit another home run for the Unreal mobile Engine. If you found yourself playing Infinity Blade for house upon end then it is a no-brainer to pick up Epoch. If you are new to the iOS I can’t think of a better title to get your feet wet with a high quality title like Epoch.

Angry Gran game for iphone

Angry Gran game for iphone















Angry Gran is a new casual game that takes a somewhat controversial theme and pairs it with a light gameplay and addictive unlockables.

Armed with a rolled up newspaper initially. Your sweet and fragile grandmother walks the street taking out everything in her path. The object is to hit the passing people and objects with as much force as possible to score money.To do this you tap and hold to build up your meter. WHen it is full you let go to unlatch an attack, that if timed correctly, will smash the object or person, giving you a pile of cash. You can let go before the meter is full, but it will not give you as much cash.

While assault and vandalism may seem easy, you have to always be on the lookout for the constable that if hit will lock you up for a moment. You must also time your strikes perfectly or else you will hit yourself and wind up in a wheelchair. The wasted time brings you closer to the checkpoints that comes at intervals. If you have not reached your quota for cash before reaching them then the game is over. Between games you can spend your cash to raise your stats and purchase items that will help you in the game. You can also upgrade you weapon with one that has extra abilities.

There is an IAP to get cash quickly if you are the type that doesn’t like to work for your achievements. The game also provides a pension that build up as intervals so you can collect more cash by returning to the game often. Games like this are simple and offer a small amount of fun. I had an enjoyable time playing it for a couple afternoons, but quickly grew tired of it as the grind for better items set in. Being a free game, I think this is perfectly acceptable, and the in app ads were not a bother to me. As casual games go this one is right down the middle, not to boring, but also nothing too amazing. Check it out and see if Angry Gran is the kind of game for you.

StarXStar game for iphone

StarXStar game for iphone















StarXStar is a card based board game that pits you against an opponent in a strategy game themed around star constellations.

Unfortunately the first thing I noticed about the game was a lack of instructions. There was no way to know how the game was to be played. I initially attempted to figure the game out on my own, and while I could place cards on the board easily enough, I was unable to determine what the meaning of each card was. The iTunes app store page for the app was also unhelpful. The answer came from the app’s website, which doesn’t rate high on Google’s search results. From there I was able to learn how to play the game.

The basic game is played by laying down on of the drawn cards on the 3×3 board. If you place it next to an opponent’s card that has a lower number adjacent to your’s then the card is turned your color. The object is to have more cards turned your color when the board fills up. Games are played as best of three and there are many variation to give you variety of games, each with their own strategy.

As you play the game you can unlock new cards to add to your deck. The game has a simple concept that is implemented such that it will offer a wide variety of strategy. The lack of instructions would be a big set back for the average gamer, but once the game is understood its is a fast card battle that will challenge the mind. For $.99 this game is a possible buy is you are a fan of the genre.

Creepy Crawlies game for iphone

Creepy Crawlies game for iphone

The game takes its cues from the long line of AR games that have sprung forth from the app store since iOS 4. The game pits you against an endless onslaught of bugs, mice, snakes, and other unsightly pests, as they march toward you and attempts to make you dinner. You are armed with some measly bug spray, but you will soon find yourself roasting the roaches with a flame-thrower or a laser raffle.

The game is controlled by holding the phone in your hands and looking around at the scenery arounds you. There is a radar dish in the corner that shows you where you are looking in relation to the incoming bugs. Once you have the bug in sight you let loose while avoiding his flanking brethren. There are six rounds and three difficulty levels which seems like enough to keep you busy.

Control-wise I had a difficult time with moving around and getting a bead on the enemy. This is until I actually watched a video of someone playing the game and I realized that this game is intended to be played standing up, and with a fair amount of room to move. This is a step more realistic than most AR games that have you simply rotating around in one spot. This can be hard for some who play their games in offices or other locations that don’t afford them to move around. Another notable omission if that lack of any high scores, or GameCenter support. Games like this thrive on the player competition to beat out their friend’s scores. While this may be comes in the future, I still found the game entertaining once I had mastered the controls. There was certainly a bit of fear welling up inside as I shuffled back way from the incoming tarantula.

The ongoing playability of games like this is hard to determine as they limit where the gamer can play, and they tend to be simple 3-D move and shoot games. This theme is definitely one of the better choices to AR, so I hope that as this game is updated we can see the features and levels expand to keep the game fresh. If you are interesting in picking up an AR game for your new iPhone 4 I think Creepy Crawlies is a good pick and will be giving you the willies for quite a while.

Paper Monsters iphone game

Paper Monsters iphone

Paper Monsters is one app that deserves much more recognition than it is given. Beyond that modest name lies an app that promises bountiful joy and hours of fun. With 4 chapters and more to come, the game delivers entertainment through the many stages in each chapter. Although obviously targeted at kids, players of all ages can enjoy this game too.

Game play involves taking control of an anthropomorphic cardboard box that looks strangely like the Shufflebot from Party Rock Anthem, and exploring the lands of the game. As the game progresses, players are met with obstacles they have to overcome. While taking place in what seems like a park, this game is definitely no walk in the park. Players have to think out of the box (no pun intended), and solve the challenges in their way. One example would be when players have to make use of an enemy’s ability to blow himself up to lower a drawbridge so that the rest of the stage can be made available for access.

One thing I like about the game would be the pipes scattered around levels. Entering such a pipe brings you to a slightly altered version of the stage, essentially making a mini bonus stage. Find the exit pipe to resume the rest of the level. While some of the pipes bring you to an entirely different environment, others bring you to a stage set in the background of the actual level. This means your character, along with the obstacles you have to overcome, will be seen in the distance while the original level scenery remains in the foreground. This adds bonus points in my book, as it serves as an interesting alternative to boring and repetitive stages.

I must also mention that the game also comes with a customization mode, where players can decorate the cardboard box with “clothes” they can purchase using buttons obtained in game play. There are also a lot of “coming soon” features, which I suppose will make the game even more awesome than it already is.

The game presents itself in a cutesy 3D effect, making full use of the display abilities found in iOS devices. I tested the game on both my iPhone 4S and my 2nd generation iPod Touch, and be it the later or newer device, the game delivered smoothly. Sound wise, the game reminds me of those cartoons meant for preschoolers, which fits the game very aptly.

All in all, this game is definitely worth the $0.99 it costs. Despite not being fully completed as seen from the slew of “coming soon” signs, this game still impresses and although it’s target audience is most likely towards the younger crowd, teens and young adults might find this entertaining too.

The Hacker for iphone

The Hacker for iphone



















The Hacker by Angry Bugs is a throw back to the days of modems and when cyberspace was a mysterious world of hackers with fancy interfaces.

Much like other hacker games, The Hacker places you in a virtual world where you must gain access to a variety of remote servers from around the world to gain information about the Glider Corporation. I wont tell you much more about the plot as this is a story driving game. The interface for hacking servers is series of puzzles that much be completed. Some involve moving bugs around a room to their respective platforms, while others are timed puzzles or memory tests. With each completed server you gain more story and move access to new features.

The game has an email system where the characters send you files or messages, but the best part of the game is the mini games. The G.A.M.E.S. section has a variety of fun arcade style games that you are able to unlock with XP you earn hacking servers. There are achievements and leaderboards with GameCenter Support, but all of it is wrapped in the retro world of old mainframe style computing.

I will say that there are secrets to be discovered in this game and with two expansions that can be purchased, there is plenty of content to keep you busy. The puzzles are not too difficult, but that really depends on your ability to abstract the problems at hand. I game the game to several friends of mine and some of them were throughly stumped by puzzles I completed in minutes. Even with the somewhat short gameplay for me I found The Hacker a nice diversion with a unique theme on the app store. The $.99 price is certainly a benefit for a game like this so if you want a puzzle game steeped in a 90′s style hacking theme, then be sure to check this one out.
