Crazy Taxi – Review
Crazy Taxi – Review Nostalgia will make you do funny things, but in this case it involves spending the most amount of money on an Android game I have ever spent. Crazy Taxi (which basically got me through my youth) was a great game that was on consoles, in arcades and also featured (in my mind) the greatest soundtrack found in a game. Sega have released it on Android and I have to say its a ...[Read More]
Tiny Thief – Review
Tiny Thief – Review Not much is know about the story for this game, as its really just quick splash screens showing various cartoon images. This did make me see though, how they have cut down on any translation for the game, no voices or narrative means less time and money spent on translations for different versions of the game. The initial feeling I got when playing this game was the graph...[Read More]
Sperm Rush – Review
Sperm Rush – Review Lets be honest this could be the worst game in the world, but the name is still going to make people download it. Sperm Rush is a side-scrolling style game, where you control the path of a single sperm, you collect coins (wtf) and avoid obstacles, the end game being to get to the egg. The gameplay is extremely simple, you hold down on the screen to go up, otherwise you go...[Read More]
Bombcats – Review
Bombcats – Review Lets get the backstory out the way. Theres kittens in blue energy cages, the parents decide the best solution is to blow up and break them out.Less of a backstory, more ramblings of a madman. You will get a strong Angry Birds vibe from this game. Theres a lot of aiming and slinging, but after playing it for awhile, you will start to notice that this isn’t an Angry Bir...[Read More]
Gus on the Go (Spanish) Review
Gus on the Go Although learning a new language is difficult for my aging brain, young kids have a special aptitude for it. Instead of numbing their brains with mindless games, Gus on the Go aims to help kids learn a selection of almost 90 useful words in a selection of languages. They say you shouldn’t teach a child a second language until they are 5 years old as you might co...[Read More]
Super Paper Pool – Pre-release Review
Super Paper Pool One Side Software recently got in touch with us and asked if we would like early access to their upcoming game, called Super Paper Pool, a mash-up of mini golf and billiards. I have to admit, I don’t tend to game all that much on my Androids, but I do keep a few on my devices, one of which is a pool game, another other a golf game, so this one appealed to me straight ...[Read More]
Shooting Club Zombies Attack – Review
Shooting Club Zombies Attack – Review I’m not sure what zombies have done lately, but it appears that more and more games are tasking you with killing them. A lot of these lots of big guns, running around for ammo and hiding in a corner while you reload. Shooting Club Zombies Attack puts a different spin on the zombie shooter, by combining it with a sniper game. Your put way out of ran...[Read More]

Karateka Classic – Review
Karateka Classic – Review Karateka Classic is the original game shot for shot, with retro touches, such as sampled floppy disk noises, optional video scanlines, and the choice of a color CRT or a monochrome display (in amber or green screen). Also included is the nostalgia of playing a classic game all over again. You play as The Hero, and you must fight your way through the hoards of skille...[Read More]
Sonic The Hedgehog – Review
Sonic The Hedgehog – Review Sonic the hedgehog is what can only be described as a classic game. Its had sequels which tweaked the game and made it slightly better each time, but since it chucked the scroller mechanic it hasn’t been the same since. This appears to be the month of nostalgia as the original Sonic the hedgehog has been released and its the classic game we all know and love...[Read More]
Punch Quest – Review
Punch Quest – Review Punch Quest is on paper a side scrolling game, but when you play it you’ll see its so much more. You move by punching and if you stop punching you die, mix that in with old school RPG graphics and you have a great game. Hitting the left side of the screen uppercuts and slams opponents downward, while hitting the right performs a straightforward punch. As you move t...[Read More]
