Turtle Shell 2.0 – Review

Turtle Shell 2.0 – Review With more and more bluetooth speakers being released, we are starting to notice an increase in favouritism towards a less fragile design. This makes a lot of sense, as who wants to take a speaker on holiday, or to the beach, and risk dropping it, drenching it or breaking it? Nobody! The most recent feature being added to speakers is a water/splash proof coating. I s...[Read More]

Voxel Rush – Review

Voxel Rush – Review Voxel Rush is a game thats very difficult to hate. The premise is that you are hurtling through a Tron type landscape, your speed keeps increasing and you have to deal with various events that aim to stop you in your tracks. Throw in some coloured cubes that offer points or power-ups and Voxel Rush is becoming a staple in my games folder.   Voxel Rush is controlled b...[Read More]

Heroes: A Grail Quest – Review

Heroes: A Grail Quest – Review My new favorite game is Heroes: A Grail Quest. You control a knight, who has been tasked to get the holy grail for his ill king. But its not that easy, you have to explore the country, battle with baddies and lay siege to castles. Heroes uses a top-down view when playing the game. The controls are simple tap to move/fight, and a turn-based system, which reminds...[Read More]

FLASHOUT 2 – Review

FLASHOUT 2 – Review Do you like the idea of a Wipeout ripoff, with annoying dubstep in the background? Then Flashout 2 is the game for you. Races take place race tracks that circle high above futuristic cities. Where with Wipeout and similar games, power ups appear in the same place each each, Flashout 2 tracks are littered with boosts, weapons, and jumps, they have no sense of place, and at...[Read More]

Beach God – Review

Beach God – Review The main character in Beach God is never given a name, but he shall be referred to as Bruce. Beach God is a simple game, you play as Bruce who is trying to impress the similar looking ladies marching past his bar. You try to impress them using the never-known-to-fail technique of flexing biceps and pectorals. If you fail to do this when one of the beach babes walks by, you...[Read More]

Defender of the Crown – Review

Defender of the Crown – Review Defender of the Crown originally debuted in 1986, a whole year before a baby called Luke was born, so needless to say I  was not aware of this game until it was re-released on the play store. Further investigation informed me, that this game ahead of its time, a highly-polished game for the mid 80’s, but one that didn’t fit into any genre. Defender ...[Read More]

Abyss Attack – Review

  Abyss Attack – Review Never has a game with IAP’s looked so good, Abyss Attack has to be one of the nicest looking games I have played in a while. You play a deep see adventurer being attacked by the sea’s inhabitants, all you have to defend yourself is a sub and a range of weapons. Abyss Attack is a scrolling shooter, played from a top-down view. You get have a range of glowin...[Read More]
