Starship Shooter HD takes an established space action shooter formula and executes it right on. While the game does not stray too far from the ordinary and already established, it brings a refreshing, classic action-y space shooter chock filled with evil aliens, asteroids, frantic game play and a well executed upgrading system.
Game play involves flying [...]

The Ogre Hunt experience from developer DGC can be summed up in two words: simple and frustrating.  The instructions tab in the main menu failed to mention that the accelerometer is used to point your gun instead the single D-Pad on the screen. I spent a good minute wondering why my character was just going in [...]

It’s hard to remember how I ended up in Pine City.  Everything before the “Crash” seems like someone else’s life.  People call it the “Crash” because they’re afraid of what it really is.  Like just saying the words “zombie invasion” makes it real.  Well, it is real.  I’m scared too, but we need to face [...]

Galactic Gunner is on sale for free – normally $.99-$2.99
I’ve only played a little bit of this game and it’s pretty good, especially if you can get it for nothing! You play the part of the gunner on a fighter ship in some kind of epic struggle against bad aliens called Trepidoids. The game mostly [...]

Get this while it’s still free! Groove Media dropped the price for Marine Sharpshooter to zero on Saturday, and their sale prices never seem to last very long. Regular price on this game is $1.99.

iFighter is on sale for $.99

Personally, I [...]

Perhaps the next delightfully retro gaming genre set to invade the iPhone is the classic SHMUP, or 2D shoot-em-up for the unitiated.  This is evidenced by the recent release of Sky Force Reloaded and now Hotfield from C2Matrix.  There have certainly been prior entries such as rRootage, Space Deadbeef, Sentry Alpha and Sky Thunder but IMO none have offered the complete experience of [...]

  
The iPhone receives another winna and it’s called 2079 from Eric Tong.  This fast-paced game will make you realize you no longer have that 17 dex you once took for granted (c’mon who really had a natural 18).  The goal here is to stay alive and shoot everything that moves while obtaining as high a score as possible.  You do this [...]

I would give the game ten stars just for the name alone! I mean seriously, any app that has the word “beef” in the title gets my attention (unless the app is named Beef Hunks Photo Finder, then we’re barking up the wrong tree). Nonetheless, I.D.P.’s Space Deadbeef is way more than just a flashy [...]
