The gameplay in Hero Factory: Invasion From Below is solid but nothing ground breaking. The average story mission has you playing as one of the coloured heroes as they explore the level finding Lego parts so you can upgrade into a Battle Machine, so you can go fight the levels boss. The levels are very small and boring. The only interesting parts of the levels are the enemies but even then they be...

I think the recent Flappy Bird fiasco has really shown how low the standards of mobile games are nowadays. It wasn't hard to tell that Flappy Bird wasn't exactly the absolutely greatest game out on the mobile platform, and when it was taken down the app store has gotten flooded with Flappy Bird rip-offs. So now we have an appsolute (see what I did there? it was terrible I know) landslide of Crappy...

The main features of the game, the plants and zombies, are just as quirky and entertaining as always. The graphics have had a cutesy upgrade, and look even more colourful and brilliant than the original, even on older mobile screens. It’s nothing ground-breaking, but for a mobile game of this type it’s exactly what the title needs. It’s all about the gameplay, and this game brings that in spades. ...

I really wish there was more turn-based games like Hero Academy. Coming out last year in November for the iOS, the game has a great deal of charm in its aesthetics. The game also has a surprisingly good core mechanics that rewards a great deal of strategy and tactics. Recently Robot Entertainment decided to release the game with the Team Fortress 2 cast as a free DLC to the PC version. Is Hero Aca...

The Dark Knight Rises iOS starts off about half way through the film with Batman investigating a lead on the cat burglar Selina Kyle. Developer Gameloft have tried their b...
