This weekend I rediscovered my Game Boy Color; it is awesome

Game Boy/Pokemon/Super Mario Land 2 6 Golden Coins

I recently rediscovered my old Game Boy Color. It was in a forgotten cupboard in a bathroom (don’t ask me how it got there), so with all the humidity it must have gone through, I wasn’t exactly expecting it to be working as I slotted a few batteries into the…

Mix Risk with Scrabble and you get Quarrel. If that doesn’t have board game fans scrambling to get to the App store, nothing will. It’s a frankly brilliant little combination that is pulled off with real style, at UTV Ignition has a real hit on its hands, I’ll wager. The…

Let me preface this review by saying that I am not a big fan of the large scale strategic games where you control a mass of units over a vast battlefield in real time ala the Total War franchise. In saying this I was very impressed with how King Arthur…

Review: Zpulse (iPhone)

iPhone/Reviews/rhythm game/Zpulse

When I sit down to play a rhythm game I only really want a few things. Gameplay that is simple yet at the same time fun to keep me playing for hours on end and a tune that annoyingly stays in my head, with me humming along gleefully. Sadly, you’ll…
