REVIEW: Giant Hunter

REVIEW: Survivalist
Survivalist ($2.99) will be notable for two things. The first, sadly, will be its higher cost (*It was $4.99 at the time of this writing). Gamers are a risk-adverse bunch when money is involved,...

REVIEW: Shipwreck
Ten minutes into Shipwreck ($1.00), right in the middle of the first dungeon that plays like a tutorial, and you’ll be saying ‘Man, the Zelda is strong with this one.’ This is more than just a cheap...

REVIEW: ApocZ
Though I haven’t played it, DayZ has been an enlightening watch on the various YouTubes and Twitches dedicated to it’s unique brand of zombie slaying. Or should I say human slaying? The zombies have...

REVIEW: DeadKings
The game of Checkers1 is an old one, possibly the oldest. It’s rules are relatively simple; two sides, two sets. Men can make diagonal moves on the board, only going forward, while King pieces—having...

REVIEW: Survival Games: Season 1
Given XBLIG’s recent plight, its various brushes with death, and the lack of new games worthy of a look, it’s been rare to come across a release that you can truly be excited about. Survival Games...

REVIEW: Dead War
The protagonist of Bandana Games‘ Dead War ($1.00) is hard to get a read on. She’s on Death Row for murder at the start of the story, saved (ironically) by the onset of a zombie apocalypse. As you...

REVIEW: Loot or Die
I may get some hate mail / bewildered comments for this, but what the hell; in a lot of ways (and certainly in the spots where it really counts), Loot or Die ($1.00) could be considered a 2D Destiny....
