Got your car stuck in a traffic jam or your yacht blocked in at the marina? Then your name is Joe, and you're the character in Trogaming's Chaos and Mayham. It's a sliding block puzzle game where you have to free yourself from a 21st Century mess of vehicles. Frustrating is the word of the day, both for the circumstances Joe finds himself in, and the code on offer in this game.
Science Fiction fans gather around. If you like to give our extraterrestrial friends the “we come in peace, shoot to kill” type of welcome, here's a game that might interest you. In UFO2012, you are tasked with greeting landing parties of hostile aliens. Pick your team, select your arsenal and go forth exploring isometric landscapes and abandoned buildings. It's an old turn-based adventure game, so read on to see how well the formula translates to mobile gaming.
It's time for another puzzle game that might help you while away your summer time stuck in a queue (be it an airport, a theatre show, or waiting around an open air musical gig). Can a classic game ever be made better than the original? Colorbox have given it a go with their version of Lines. Will this implementation of the game be one that I actually enjoy?
You know the game, it's a perennial, it's always challenging and a great time-waster (in the good sense). Mine Sweeper, in this implementation, offers a choice of three grid sizes, an intuitive interface, sound effects, atmospheric graphics and... a ticking clock - can you beat your best time? Not bad value for a quid, I reckon!
Digital Cubes have always been with us on computers, partly because I think those people who can work cubes very well are also the sort of people who like to fiddle around with computers, but the rise of the touch screen smartphones has meant that the portable physical puzzle is easily available as a virtual puzzle in your pocket. But is it worth it?
"Can't read my, can't read my, no you can't read my, Poker Dice, Yahtzee's got to love somebody." Okay, that's enough of that. The question is not how good my singing is, but can Blue Particle's poker dice game, Yacht, make a better attempt at covering a classic than I can?
One of my wife's favourite games ever was Frozen Bubble, the infamous bubble shooter that worked so well on the S60 phones of yesteryear. Which made Maya Bubbles Touch an interesting review subject - how would it measure up to the rightly famous previous classic of the genre? Pretty well, with the caveat that there's a definite twist in the gameplay. Read on...
Some people say that old games never die, they're just remade. It certainly seems to be the case with FidoDido Tower Blitz. You play the familiar hand drawn character, tasked with painting an arena of coloured blocks, by jumping on them! Sounds simple? Not when you factor in the hazards and enemies. Sounds familiar? Quite possibly, read on to find out why!
Strategy first, soccer second, That's how this quirky game from Onslaught Media is titled, and I think they're on to a Championship winner here, at least for S60 5th Edition phones (no Symbian^3 yet). No, it's not in the Premier League of mobile games, but there is promise here. That's likely to come in a future game, because I'm not sure how far Strategy Soccer can be extended. That's okay though, because I'm enjoying 'Soccer', at the same time recognising it's not going to have massive mainstream appeal.
Do you have an eye for precise positioning? Do you have reactions for tight timing? Then you might like today's review of Stackup, which challenges your timing skills to build an ever higher house of cards. Think you have what it takes to keep your tower from teetering over? Then read on!
