Zombie Infection HD

goyami — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 02:35:00 GMT

While some may dismiss Gameloft’s Zombie Infection as simply a Resident Evil 4 knock-off due to its’ third-person over-the-shoulder aiming and location based damage, I found it to be one of Gameloft’s more enjoyable single-player experiences and for .99 provides more gameplay and fun than 90% of the zombie drool oozing from the app store every week.

Carnivores - Dinosaur Hunter - Update*

goyami — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 03:21:00 GMT

Dinosaurs have stomped onto your iDevice in Carnivores - Dinosaur Hunter by Tatem Games. In this port of Carnivores 2 you get to stalk 9 prehistoric mammals in 5 amazing open-world environments with your choice of 6 weapons. Just be careful or YOU may become the hunted!

Pocket Legends - Party Animals

goyami — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:59:00 GMT

Pocket Legends by Spacetime Studios is a terrifically fun 3D MMORPG that’s a first of its kind for the Idevice and deserves to be tried by anyone remotely interested in a 3D mobile online multiplayer action/RPG. It costs you nothing for some incredibly robust content that lets you build three different character types up 13 levels before being tempted by the DLC. At which point, you’ll happily throw down $1.99 to continue the party.

Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front

goyami — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 19:01:00 GMT

Brothers in Arms 2: Global Front by Gameloft does a nice job of combining first-person run-and-gun action with the third-person cover system of its predecessor Hour of Heroes to give you the best of both shooter worlds if you can overcome the frustration of some horrible jeep driving sequences.

GT Racing: Motor Academy - Update

goyami — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 23:12:00 GMT

Gameloft has shown it's commitment to GT Racing by quickly putting out an update that addresses the draw distance and pop-up issues while adding two new cars, the Bugatti Veyron and a 1992 Celica. It also seems to load a tad faster making GTR the Gran Turismo of the Iphone.

GT Racing: Motor Academy - $6.99

goyami — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 20:39:00 GMT

GT Racing: Motor Academy from Gameloft distances itself from the arcade racing of their Asphalt series of games and enters GT territory dominated by Firemint’s Real Racing and EA’s recent Need for Speed Shift. One might question weather another GT racer is needed but the market for racing games seems endless and Motor Academy offers some outstanding features not found in the other top racers.

Tehra Dark Warrior

goyami — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 21:26:00 GMT

When surrounded by hordes of axe-wielding Orcs, giant Trolls and undead skeletons all thirsty for a piece of your flesh, what’s a girl to do? Display all her womanly assets to titillate and distract so she can get in a few unanswered hacks with her massive sword. After all, all’s fair in love and war. So Tehra, the half-blooded heroine of Tehra: Dark Warrior from StormBASIC, slips into her skimpiest G-string bikini and sets out into the dark world of Sistar.

Mission: Deep Sea - $2.99

goyami — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:00:00 GMT

I have a weakness for underwater 3D games. Perhaps it’s a desire to be submerged in a foreign world or an urge to return to the womb. Mission: Deep Sea by Hiccup Studios and Chillingo is the latest undersea adventure to wet my appetite and it creates a convincing underwater world for you to explore on your Iphone.

Need For Speed Shift

goyami — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 17:29:00 GMT

The newest addition to EA’s Need For Speed garage, NFS Shift, distinguishes itself from the arcade racing of NFS Undercover by providing more of a simulation type experience with an emphasis on the correct braking and proper racing line rather than spectacular collisions, cops or storyline.

Avatar

goyami — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 20:05:00 GMT

Avatar by Gameloft is a platform/fighter that rises above that simple classification and conveys a wide-eyed sense of wonder by it’s beauty, graphical splendor and brilliant overall design to offer a game that you’re compelled to finish just to see what’s around the next corner.

N.O.V.A. - Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance

goyami — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 23:14:00 GMT

Gameloft never tries to reinvent the wheel. What they do, and they do it very well, is to bring inspired clones or ports of successful games from other platforms onto the Idevice. In N.O.V.A. they deliver a striking Halo inspired FPS that should appeal to that large fan base.

Driving Tips

goyami — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 00:12:00 GMT

Driver was brutally difficult back in 1999 even with a dual analog controller on a large screen and although Gameloft has lightened the difficulty with an easy mode for the Iphone, it’s still a rough ride especially with the super springy suspension and less than ideal controls you’re given. But before you drive off the bridge or worse yet throw your Iphone across the room in frustration, here are some driving tips that might help you lose the heat.

Quick Reviews

goyami — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:16:00 GMT

In order to clean house at the end of the year I’ve decided to give quick reviews on two noteworthy games that were released in the last month amid the Christmas rush: Labyrinth 2 by Illusion Labs and Jet Car Stunts by True Axis. Sometimes a quick play is just what you need to get you through the day and Labyrinth 2 fills that need perfectly. Jet Car Stunts is a unique racer that pits you against some colorful block tracks in time trials and a stunt mode without making you contend with other racers, upgrades or involving you in a long career.

Driver

goyami — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 04:36:00 GMT

If you played Driver when it came out for the Playstation and PC in 1999, your memories are probably bittersweet. While the physics, pre-GTA open world driving and crazy cops-on-crank made for some fond memories, the difficulty was legendary and sent many a frustrated gamer in search of the latest cheat codes. Gameloft has ported a complete version of this gaming classic to the Iphone with decreased difficulty and upgraded graphics to give mobile gamers the most fun you can have driving without getting busted.

H.A.W.X. Soars

goyami — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 01:52:00 GMT

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. by Gameloft let’s Iphone flight jockeys take to the skies in an exciting high altitude thrill ride through 13 long and involving air/ground combat missions that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat. You’ll get to fly 26 advanced aircraft over real world GeoEye imaged locations from Rio to Washington while being challenged to use all the high-tech weaponry, targeting and flying skills at your disposal to succeed. You won’t want to eject from this cockpit.

Call of Duty World at War - Zombies

goyami — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:06:00 GMT

Call of Duty World at War - Zombies by Activision and Treyarch packs more intensity, gore, tension and body parts into one level than I’d ever thought I’d see on a mobile phone. COD Zombies traps you in a thoroughly convincing 2-story Nazi bunker called Nacht der Untoten lifted directly from the zombie mode of the console blockbuster Call of Duty - World at War and lets you have at it with an onslaught of zombies on your handheld whenever and wherever the mood strikes.

The 20 Best 3D Games of 2009 - Updated

goyami — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 16:37:00 GMT

2009 was a watershed year for 3D gaming on the Iphone. After hinting at its capabilities in 2008, the Iphone exploded with brilliant and immersive 3D games in every category to establish itself as a legitimate gaming platform for on the go entertainment. The Iphone demonstrated a remarkable ability to handle everything the best developers in the world could throw at it in terms of gorgeous 3D graphics, animation, open game worlds, multiplayer connectivity, tilt and touch controls and fast paced action. Although I expect some huge releases in the final weeks of the year, these are my choices for the games that have set the bar for 3D gaming on the Iphone as we head into 2010.

Ravensword: The Fallen King

goyami — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 22:52:00 GMT

Ravensword: The Fallen King by Human Powered Games and Crescent Moon is an action/role-playing game that creates an attractive, large and immersive medieval fantasy world for you to explore in either first person or third person on your Iphone. That in itself is an achievement that deserves praise. But does the action and the role playing measure up to the remarkable 3D environment?

Asphalt 5

goyami — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:29:00 GMT

If you’ve enjoyed the previous editions of Gameloft’s arcade racing Asphalt series you’ll be glad to know nothing has changed. Lots of exotic cars and motorcycles to unlock from Lotus’ to Lamborghini’s and Ducati’s along with 12 good looking locations with 4 different types of races at each locale. While some may wish for a little wrinkle in the formula, the motto “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” has served Gameloft well for 5 editions. Unfortunately, they’ve added one new wrinkle that very well could of been left out.

NBA Live 10

goyami — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:53:00 GMT

EA Sports has brought some nice sports titles to the Iphone this year in Tiger Woods, Madden and FIFA. Now they bring their game onto the hardwood with the fully licensed and well-presented NBA Live 10 where the mobile gamer can pick-up-and-play a single game, season or playoff with any of the 30 NBA teams and their up-to-date rosters.

2xl ATV Offroad

goyami — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 19:45:00 GMT

Real Racing has found an off-road partner for simulating racing on the Iphone in 2xl’s ATV Offroad. This showpiece dirt racer drops you into the driver’s seat of an ATV with an unbelievable first-person view that has to be experienced to be appreciated.

Red Bull X-Fighters

goyami — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 19:03:00 GMT

Red Bull X-Fighters is a fabulously entertaining title from Xendex. While this game has nothing to do with bulls or fighting it has everything to do with flat out fun and awesome visuals as you perform radical motocycle stunts at dizzying heights above roaring crowds while a gorgeous 3D camera pans and zooms to catch every stunning move and painful crash as your rag doll body gets thrashed by each improper landing. It’s both beautiful and gruesome.

Derek Jeter Real Baseball

goyami — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:25:00 GMT

In Derek Jeter Real Baseball one of the Iphone’s hottest hitters takes a swing at simulating baseball on the I device with one of their signature franchises. Gameloft, in the mist of an MVP season, is no rookie to mobile baseball as they’ve been putting out versions of Derek Jeter in java for years so it’s assumed they know baseball.

Dungeon Hunter

goyami — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:18:00 GMT

Dungeon Hunter is a gorgeous, long and deep character building dungeon crawler from Gameloft who appears to be on a determined campaign to dominate every gaming genre on the Iphone by the end of the year.

Modern Combat Sandstorm

goyami — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 19:14:00 GMT

The Gameloft juggernaut has rocked the Iphone with the release of two genre-busting bombs within the span of two weeks. First with the open-world of Gangster and now with the FPS Modern Combat Sandstorm they’ve forever changed the landscape of 3D gaming on the Iphone.

While we all knew it was coming, the wait for the first next-gen FPS for the Iphone has been a long one. Whether or not Modern Combat is the holy grail is debatable and unresolved until Gameloft releases the promised multiplayer but they’ve certainly cleared the way with an explosive air strike of graphics, control, sound and action that will stand as a landmark in Iphone gaming.
