Since the Atari 2600 days, I have loved to play games. I went through the different versions of Nintendo systems and PlayStations, amazed at how each release became so real and advanced. Many hours were spent trying to defeat Legend of Zelda or unlock all of the cars in Gran Tourismo or getting my playbook [...]

AmpliTube Gets New ‘Studio’ Interface in Major Update – Hands-On Review
Along with the original iRig, IK Multimedia delivered AmpliTube, a high quality guitar amplifier and effects chain simulator. It all started simply enough, with a few effects and amp simulators and a solid sound that made it a great ‘practice amp’ in much the way the RockMan worked for musicians in the early 80s. Since [...]
Righteous Kill Movie Game for the Mac Review
Have you ever seen the film Righteous Kill? I never did, and consulting RottenTomatoes tells me I didn’t miss much – I did try to stream it, but it wasn’t freely available so I requested it from Goozex, but I wasn’t able to get it before doing this review. Turns out it doesn’t matter, since [...]
Mood O’ Clock App Lets You Choose the Right Mood to Wake You Up
As far as waking up in the morning, my wife and I are polar opposites. Whereas I’m nearly an “instant-on” waking up, my wife…not so much. Perhaps what she needs is Stereomood’s Mood O’Clock app to help set the right mood when she wakes up. Mood O’Clock is a clock/alarm application for iOS and Android [...]
Moxtra Updates with an Android App, Google Drive, and More!
I reviewed Moxtra about a month ago, and was very impressed with this digital binder/scrapbook app. It loos great and makes it easy to organize and collaborate on all sorts of projects. At the time, my biggest complaint was that I couldn’t easily get documents and web clips to Moxtra without stopping in Dropbox or [...]
Sky Gamblers Storm Raiders Review
Throughout my career as a student and teacher, World War II has always been my favorite subject to study. I have looked at the war through all sides’ eyes and studies all aspects of the weaponry. The advancement of the air war has always intrigued me, and in my opinion it is what brought WWII [...]
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic for iPad a Retro Romp Review
Last week Aspyr surprised everyone by launching Star Wars®: Knights of the Old Republic™ on the iPad – though honestly it wasn’t as much of a surprise after the leak in their newsletter! So how did Aspyr do bringing one of the classic games of the RPG genre and Star Wars franchise to the iPad? [...]
Scurvy Scallywags for iOS Review
Puzzle Quest is one of my all-time favorite casual RPG games. With a cool story, integrated RPG level-up mechanics and fun match-3 gameplay you were always challenged but in a way that worked for quick-hit gaming on the go. It is a formula that many have attempted to imitate with varying degrees of success. The [...]
Deus Ex: The Fall Announced, Bringing Classic Franchise to iOS Devices!
The history of the Deus Ex goes back to the PC-only release of the 2000 cyberpunk story-based action-RPG shooter hybrid from Warren Spector and ION Storm (a PS2 port came in 2002). To say that the game was groundbreaking doesn’t begin to cover it … the combination of elements from various genres were each done [...]
Stop Underutilizing Your iOS Device Now… for Free
There is little doubt that next week’s WWDC- World Wide Developer Conference will bring with it the announcement of iOS 7.0. The next iteration of Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS will likely bring a “flatter” design with cleaner shapes and colors as well as a host of new and updated features. Still, while Apple will [...]
G5 Releases Where Angels Cry (Mac Version) Review
I have noted that G5 Entertainment continues doing a great job bringing games to a variety of platforms including iOS and Android, but also Mac, PC, Kindle Fire, Nook, Windows Phone and so on. Most games are cross-platform ports, but that means that gamers get a chance to check out these great games on their [...]
The Shadow Sun Gets New Screens as Release Approaches!
Back in the early Fall of 2010, Ossian Studios released the first screens and information for their in-progress iOS RPG called ‘The Shadow Sun’. Ossian was already known to RPG fans as the studio formed by ex-Bioware producer Alan Miranda, which had created some of the best third-party content for Neverwinter Nights and Neverwinter Nights [...]
Apparently Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic IS Coming to iPad, Now Available
A couple of weeks ago there was a supposed leak found in the header of an Aspyr newsletter pointing to the release of the iPad version of the classic Bioware RPG Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic (KotOR for short). Since we don’t do rumors here I just fished through my .Mac mail to [...]
Build It Miami Beach Resort HD for iPad Review
When you read a title and see a quick game description, it is easy to make assumptions about what to expect. That is certainly the case with Build It Miami Beach Resort, which immediately made me think of the Build-a-Lot series we’ve reviewed here several times. However, while there are certain similarities, the games are [...]
Magicka for iPad Goes Free for a Limited Time!
Magicka is one of the better small developer PC RPG games of recent years, a game that never takes itself seriously but offers loads of fun and action. The iPad version was released at the end of March and has been received very well, cited as one of the best RPG-like battle games for any [...]
