App Review: Bubble Defence

Bubble defence is a tower defence game.  There are several of these available on the Market and this is one of the simplest looking, if no less addictive for it.
The basic concept is to build up defence towers along a path to try to defeat wave after wave of increasingly armoured bubbles which follow that [...]

App Review: Peggle

Busting some Peggle Moves

I heard about Peggle (buy Peggle on iTunes) several times before I actually tried it.  Being Scottish I can be a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to paying for apps.  There a re a good number of high quality apps available for free and the price (£2.99/$5) seemed quite [...]

App Review: Guitar Hero World Tour Mobile

I’m under no illusions that android is not (yet?) a gaming platform.  I’ve found precious few games which are worth keeping on  my phone.  However I do have some standards and Guitar Hero World Tour Mobile (Demo) fell far below those standards.

The game weighs in at around 7mb which, for a phone with only 74mb [...]

App Review: Sentinel

Zapping the aliens on Mars

I’m a big fan of Tower Defence games.  I’ve played quite a few over the years and I have to confess that Sentinel is one of the best I’ve played (buy Sentinel on iTunes.)

In a tower defence game you face waves of enemies, slowly increasing in difficulty while you build [...]

App Review: Eye Tricks

One of the illusions from Eyetricks

Eye tricks is one of those free apps which I downloaded ages ago and haven’t used much since.

There’s nothing wrong with it but it’s just not that exciting.

It consists of 30 different optical illusions, some animated, some not. The standard is pretty high’ and there are some classics in [...]

App Review: Flood It!

Me on an advanced level

One of the first really good free puzzle games I found for the iPod was flood-it (free iTunes download).  It’s a simple concept.  Your aim is to make all of the board one colour by changing the colour of one segment.  For example if the first square is green, and [...]

App Review: Kingdoms Live

Kingdoms Live Logo

Kingdoms Live was one of the first games I downloaded from the App store and it’s one that I still play a couple of times a day.

It’s an MMORPG which follows a medieval theme. You choose your character type and their strengths then work to build them up using quests, battles and [...]

App Review: AirportMania

My name’s Brian and I’m an addict.  I can’t seem to stop playing Airport Mania. It’s a fairly simple game concept but it’s beautifully executed and highly addictive.

You are the controller of an airport and you have to land planes, disembark passengers, repair and refuel aircraft and send them on their way again.

You [...]
