Plenty Of Bargains From Gameloft This Halloween

at 7:48 AM
comments0 comments

Never one to miss an opportunity to offer some great price reductions, Gameloft has announced a sale in honor of Halloween.

Six games in all are on offer at a bargain price of $0.99 each. The selection is a bit of a mixed bag, however.

For the kids and general movie tie-in fans, there’s the choice of Shrek Forever After available in both iPhone and iPad varieties. The same discount is offered for the rather dubious Iron Man 2, again with a choice of iPhone or iPad.

We’d recommend giving those two a miss. However, do consider MMORPG Order & Chaos Online which is a pretty special homage to World of Warcraft.

Racing fans may want to consider Driver, the iPhone adaptation of the popular getaway driving console title.

There’s a discount for Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater clone Skater Nation too but it might be best left to the avid skateboarding fans, desperate for a similar title.

Probably the biggest bargain is that of Gameloft Action Pack. With three games bundled together, Hero of Sparta, Blades of Fury and Brothers in Arms, it might not be the best selection of games but it’s pretty unbeatable when it comes to frugal gaming.

For those after a fright, Gameloft has provided a very creepy video to advertise what’s going on. It’s a tad bizarre and unnerving.

All these bargains run for the next week.

Blowup!! Review

By on October 26th, 2011
Our Rating: ★★★★½ :: BRILLIANT BOT MATCHING
iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad

Take a matching game, juice it up with techno beats, fast-paced gameplay, some robots, and this is what you get.

 

Developer: Cravemob Co.,Ltd

Price: $0.99
Version Reviewed: 1.0.1
Device Reviewed On: iPhone 3GS

Graphics / Sound Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Game Controls Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Gameplay Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Replay Value Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Overall Rating: 4.38 out of 5 stars

Matching games are prevalent in the iOS App Store, and there is no lack of inventive new takes on the genre. There are many games out there that have successfully blended the gameplay of matching games with elements of other popular genres. These type of hybrid games have become very popular as shown by the success of games like Puzzle Quest and Dungeon Raid. However, there are still very few matching games that focus solely on matching and do it well. Blowup!! is one of the rare exceptions here. The game is bright and fun, challenging and satisfying. Players that like matching games at all should not miss this one.

Blowup isn’t a typical matching game. It’s not find three similar tiles and line them up. By tapping grounds of like-colored blocks, players can eliminate them from the playing field. By strategically eliminating groups of blocks, player can create larger groups of adjacent, like-colored blocks. When a group of eight or more blocks is eliminated a meter is filled. This meter gradually drains, and when it is empty, the game is over. Players must continually build combos larger than eight blocks to keep the meter filled. As the game progresses, more colors are introduced and making large matches becomes more difficult.

The more blocks players have matched at once, the larger more points are generated. As matches of over eight blocks are made, the appearance of the blocks change and robot faces appear on the block. As the more blocks are matched to the group, the robot faces evolve to give the player a quick reference to just how many blocks are in the group at any given moment. This added visual element makes the game that much more fun and gives players even more incentive to create big matches.

There are three different modes and each mode has a distinct techno music track and a maximum score that players are working to reach. As players get closer to the maximum score more musical elements are added and the soundtrack becomes more complex, adding to the intensity of trying to quickly find and make matches to keep the meter filled.

The bright colors and fabulous visuals, the retro style and the chip tune music tracks all work together with the rock-solid gameplay to make Blowup!! one of the best matching games out there. This game should not be missed.

Top 3 App Deals for 10/26/11

at 6:34 AM
comments0 comments

Yes, here we are, back from another long look at the price drops in the App Store, braving them again for your downloading pleasure and time saving benefit. Here’s what we have for you today:


ChuChu Rocket! HD – Was $4.99, now $0.99
This Sega classic rated 4 stars in our review, which said, “this is still ChuChu Rocket, and the game holds up well to this day. I had some great times reliving this game on my iPhone and iPad, and it's great to see the game brought back for a new generation of gamers and for those who enjoyed the game back in its heyday to be able to relive it.”


Puzzle Quest Chapter 1 - Was $1.99, now FREE
The first of the gaming mashup sensation is now free on the App Store. Taking the zen of match-three with the addictiveness of a RPG, this is the game that started it all.


Parodise – Was $0.99, now FREE
Our reviewer had this to say, “the gameplay is a whole lot of fun, and rewards a player for learning the way in which different items react and for consequently reacting quickly to these items themselves. I will add that the written content may not be suited to the very youngest members of the family, but they probably wouldn't take the time to read it anyway.”

Bird’s the Word HD Review

Bird’s the Word HD Review

By on October 26th, 2011
Our Rating: ★★★½☆ :: WORDS OF A FEATHER
Universal App - Designed for iPhone and iPad

Bird’s the Word HD is a fine take on a simple formula.

 

Developer: SGN
Price: $1.99
Version Reviewed: 2.0
Device Reviewed On: iPad 2

Graphics / Sound Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Game Controls Rating: 3.75 out of 5 stars
Gameplay Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
Replay Value Rating: 3.85 out of 5 stars

Overall Rating: 3.65 out of 5 stars

Anyone who has played the Boggle style of word search game has played Bird’s the Word HD. That’s not bad thing, though, as it is a perfectly fine version of that game and those in the market for word games on their iPad should definitely consider it. Honestly, that’s all the review anyone should need but there are some other things worth mentioning that set Bird’s the Word apart from the flock.

The gameplay isn’t anything new. Random letters are displayed on a grid and players have to spell as many words as they can. Clearing certain words activates time and score bonuses and outside of being cute window dressing, the cartoon birds that border the screen, some of which are unlockable, sometimes swoop onto the board to hinder progress.

Speaking of those birds, the game’s relatively flat artwork is unremarkable but serviceable as is the music. However, the game has a nice tranquil atmosphere. It also may remind some of For the Birds and what better compliment is there than saying something is like a Pixar short. And for all those Family Guy fans, the developer has said that the song “Surfin’ Bird” is coming to the soundtrack.

Probably the most notable aspect though are the alternate game modes. Classic mode has players reaching a certain score and timed mode is pretty self-explanatory. By far the most interesting and challenging mode however is “word worm.” Once one creates a word, the last letter of the word they just created must be the first letter of the word they create next. Add in a timer and players will be in for a good and tough experience. Players can also connect through Facebook to compete with friends.

Outside of a few unique game modes, Bird’s the Word HD isn’t doing anything we haven’t seen in a game like this before. But it is doing those same things in a perfectly competent way that will certainly make it a satisfying distraction for plenty of wordsmiths.
