Review by Andrew M. Mobile games all aim to be addictive. They are designed so that if you sit down on the train or lounge or whatever, you can just whip out your device and play a game for five minutes. But the secret to a good iPhone game is…
Read MoreReview by V8NinjaRacing video games tend to sway in one of two directions; either hyper-realism or pure arcade action. The first category contains games like Gran Turismo, Need for Speed: Shift, and the majority of Codemasters titles.
