Spirits Review: A late-night, tucked-in-bed puzzle game

Spirits, a charming physics-based puzzler by Spaces of Play, is a simple game that sucks you in almost immediately but eventually leaves a lot to be desired. Your job is pretty simple: guide the leaf spirits through different levels, dodging pitfalls, blocks and spikes until they finally arrive at a spiraling portal to be whisked away. It’s a pretty easy game and each level is relatively non-challenging. That is until you decide you want to conquer each level and come out with perfect results… that’s when the game becomes really challenging.

Call of Mini – Zombies Review: The good and the bad of zombie games

You may not know this about me, but I am a huge fan of dual-stick shooters. Age of Zombies, Monster Shooter, Weapon Chicken. I have literally played them all and probably spent way too much time with them, but there’s just something about the addictive gameplay in dual-stick shooters that I can’t put down. And the fact that I can play some of the greatest dual-stick shooters (In recent years) on my phone/tablet is amazing in itself. Dual stick controls shouldn’t be a  problem on touchscreens, because of the simplistic control-scheme. But that isn’t always the case, so let’s look at what’s up for review today: Call of Mini Zombies!

Zen Bound 2 Review: Slow and simple wins the race

Playing Zen Bound 2, the new puzzler from developer Secret Exit, is a wonderful example of how a game is not always a game. Not really. Sometimes these funny things we talk about are really just activities, things to do while we lay or sit around the house. If we’re lucky these titles we buy and download become something more than just a series of button pushes. If we’re really lucky they lead us to a familiar place or wonderful new area. Zen Bound 2 really does more for me than many games that are much more, well, game-like.

Broken Sword Director’s Cut Review: An oldie but a goodie

I had a Commodore 64 when I was a kid but didn’t get another PC until I was an adult in ‘99. I know for a fact that I missed a lot of great games in the gap between the two. There were games that covered all sorts of genres and play-styles and I missed the chance to play most of them. Luckily, mobile publishers have taken it upon themselves to reissue certain wonderful older titles that I would have never had the chance to play. One of the latest titles I came across in the Play Store is Broken Sword: The Director’s Cut. I do not remember anything about this title, but it did come out in ‘96 during my great computer-less period.

Auralux Game Review – Aim for the stars in this simply designed strategy game

Originally a PC title released last year, Auralux is a real-time strategy game with an ultra-simple design in all aspects of the game, be it the graphics, gameplay, sound or controls. I am serious when I say ‘ultra-simple’ – I have never played a game with such a stripped down design (no it’s not bad at all). Anyway, I have been waiting for some time for this game to make its way onto Android. Now that it’s here, does it live up to my expectations? Read on to find out.
