Gameloft has frequently done a good job of re-envisioning distinctly familiar console gaming hits, whether it be Uncharted in the form of Shadow Guardian or World of Warcraft-like Order & Chaos Online. Perhaps the most consistent of these homages has been the Gangstar series with Gangstar West Coast Hustle and more recently Gangstar: Miami Vindication heavily borrowing from the Grand Theft Auto series and being just as enjoyable. So it makes sense to see another Gangstar title coming soon.

Gangstar Rio: City of Saints promises the same addictive Grand Theft Auto style gameplay but with all new weapons, vehicles, storyline and a whole new place to explore. Not much else has been announced but we do have a Gameplay trailer to gaze over. It’s looking pretty good and certainly graphically impressive for iOS devices.

Take a look below. We’ll be sure to keep track of Gangstar Rio: City of Saints’ development.

Have Plenty of Gelatinous Fun for Free With JellyCar 3 Lite

at 1:31 PM

0 comments

JellyCar surprised a lot of folks with its sudden appearance and bouncy automotive hijinks. So much so that it spawned two well-received sequels. Now JellyCar 3, the most recent of the bunch, has a free trial. Just in case the dollar seems a bit too steep.

Now the incredibly frugal, or those without access to electronic funds (i.e. young-uns) can sample 10 of JellyCar 3‘s levels for free. That’s 10 levels of “squishy goodness” for the same price as lunch when someone else is paying. Of course, if a player were to find the size-adjusting, wiggly, loopy, special ability-having, secret exit filled, car-customizing extravaganza to be irresistible, it’s not exactly super-expensive.

So why not give JellyCar 3 Lite a try since it’s free? It’s not going to cost anything but a bit of time, and chances are it’ll be considered time well spent. I mean, the original was a lot of fun, right?

Run Dog Run Review

By Jason Wadsworth on September 13th, 2011
Our Rating:

:: DOG TIRED
iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

This running and platforming game is as simple as they come.

Developer: Ran Elmaliach games

Price: $1.99
Version Reviewed: 1.4
Device Reviewed On: iPhone 3GS

Graphics / Sound Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Game Controls Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Gameplay Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Replay Value Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars

Overall Rating: 3.13 out of 5 stars

Anyone who has spent much time playing iOS games or purusing the iOS games catalog in the App Store is well aquatinted with the running platformer genre of games that made popular by games like Canabalt or more recently, Jetpack Joyride. These are typically very simple games in which the player controls a character that automatically runs forward from one side of the screen to the other. They player then taps the screen to make the character jump (or move in some way) in order to avoid obstacles or jump over pits.

Run Dog Run works in essentially the same way. The player touches the screen to make the dog jump while it runs from left to right along a path of floating islands, the goal being to stay running as long as possible without falling off of the islands. The longer the player holds down their finger, the higher and longer the dog will jump. Players can also double jump, which comes in handy when a previous jump has been miscalculated. Flying in front of the dog on the left hand side of the screen is a bird. This bird will randomly drop eggs which the dog can pick up. These eggs will either speed up or slow down the dogs run, or decrease the amount of gravity which will cause the dog to jump much higher than normal. These pickups are necessarily beneficial to the player because they will often make it harder to execute successful jumps, but they do add some variance to the gameplay.

Run Dog Run is a very simple game, even for a running platformer. The dark, brooding, and almost creepy environments, while gorgeously designed, don’t vary much. The game’s visuals are the high point of the game, though. If the same amount of attention had been given to the gameplay the game may have turned out much better. The dog’s jumps seem very inconsistent as do to the touch controls. This makes it very hard to land jumps successfully. The game looks great but unfortunately it doesn’t play well enough to merit much praise.

Social Travel Blogging With TripColor

at 12:06 PM

0 comments

Itchy feet? I know the feeling well and it’s not because of poor personal hygiene. Sometimes it’s just nice to get away from it all and discover new lands and cultures. It’s not always as simple as that though which gives an app like TripColor a dual purpose.

For those unable to travel, it’s an app that enables users to browse the blogs of people already on their journeys. Glorious photos can be added to keep everything about the app attractive to look at while a location function means it’s easy to see the path a traveller has taken. Users can browse a variety of different travel blogs but the real benefit stems from keeping track of a friend or family member who’s going on a trip of a lifetime.

That’s where the other purpose comes into play. For the user who’s planning a journey away, not only can they show others their journey but they can keep a diary of all their adventures to look back on at a later date. It’s a pretty neat idea and clearly more fun than using an all purpose blogging tool, with the added benefit of being able to blog without an internet connection.

At the grand price of nothing, this is surely the ideal time to give a different kind of social blogging app a try?

Snood Free Lets iOS Users Match Snoods. For Free.

at 12:06 PM

0 comments

The critter-launching, match three (or more) semi-classic Snood has been something of a mainstay on PC as well as a number of portable devices for some time now. People really like to match colors and clear shapes, I suppose. Just in case there are any folks out there who have avoided this game due to a lack of funds, it’s worth noting that Electronic Arts has decided to release a free version. So no more excuses, really.

Now anyone with an iOS device and a soft spot for flinging critters at other critters of the same hue and watching them cease to exist can try out the oddly-named classic for absolutely zero cost. This isn’t a handful of levels, either. Snood Free contains over one hundred puzzles and five different difficulty settings; much more content than an average “Lite” version. Some concessions had to be made in order to give players some reason to possibly want to buy it (note: it’s a dollar), including ads and the inability to play any multi-player games, but the overall single-player experience doesn’t suffer for it.

Match-three (or more) junkies don’t have any more excuses. They, and anyone else who’s interested, can grab Snood Free on the App Store right now for… well, for free.
