Rayman Jungle Run

I'm just going to come right out and say it. Rayman: Origins was hands-down the best 2D platformer from last year, beating even the side-scrolling Mario titles of recent memory. The art is breathtakingly vibrant, the world is unique and full of oddities, and the gameplay is fluid, creative and accessible. Now all of that has carried over into Rayman Jungle Run, an auto-runner based on the property. Many of us Rayman: Origins players can tell you that the running segments of that game, when you chase down treasure chests or free trapped fairies, were probably the most fun, so it makes perfect sense for this game to exist. more »

Let’s all be honest with ourselves; Star Fox 64 was clearly and objectively the best game for the Nintendo 64. Unfortunately, Nintendo hasn’t been showing much love to Fox and his furry pilot companions, leaving a spacecraft-based rail-shooter-sized hole in the hearts of millions. Luckily, a developer simply called Psyonix is here save us with their debut iOS title, Arc Squadron! more »
Avengers Initiative

After Marvel's massively successful crossover film spectacular The Avengers, which could be called their other "Avengers Initiative," they're trying the same thing with the video game world. Avengers Initiative is the first of four rumored games, each starring a different member of the four main Avengers, also sharing the same universe. We've already had a Captain America and Thor game, but I get the feeling these new ones will be even better. The best part of this game though? It's Infinity Blade: Hulk Edition. I don't just mean the gameplay is similar. It's a near identical copy. more »

Supermagical from Super Awesome Hyper Dimensional Mega Team (no really, that's the name of the studio) is a colorful modern take on the classic colored bubble bursting gameplay of Bust-a-Move, but rotated ninety degrees. It adds a lot to the main experience, from the often humorous story and characters, the gorgeously colorful art, fun mini-games, and fleshed-out world. It doesn't innovate quite as much as it could, but the overall experience more than makes up for it. more »

Back when Subatomic Studios released the original Fieldrunners, it was an original tower defense title that grabbed people’s attention with great visuals and innovative mechanics. At long last, we have a sequel in Fieldrunners 2, and it somehow managed to top itself completely. It may not be as unique now that we have so many tower defense titles to choose from, but it’s still top-tier fun. more »

One common iPhone trend is the release of free Flash games on the App Store as paid mobile apps. From Steambirds to Canabalt to Robot Unicorn Attack to Gemcraft, Apple has helped plenty of developers make a profit off of their excellent games, especially thanks to their refusal to support Adobe Flash. Burrito Bison is the latest game to receive this treatment, originally developed by Juicy Beast and ported to iOS by Ravenous Games, of League of Evil fame. more »

Welcome to the Appolicious review of the iTranslate Voice app. It's a very well done app from Sonico, and it's a great follow up to the text based iTranslate. It works surprisingly well at times, and not very well at other times. Certain languages seem harder to translate than others, and it's all much more difficult if you have issues speaking clearly, as I sometimes do. Still, it's really impressive and pretty versatile, overall. more »
Wild Blood

Wild Blood is the latest big release from Gameloft, and really, It's the most original Gameloft game to date. At least, relatively. It doesn't seem to be emulating any one specific game, but rather it mixes and matches a wide variety of them, much like any other cash in type titles. It's a hack-and-slash action game along the lines of God of War or Devil May Cry, but it also draws inspiration from Darksiders and others. On top of that, it's the only game I can think of that pulls a Dante's Inferno style ret-con of the classic tale of King Arthur. more »
