Replay: Aqua Globs
Almost half a year has passed since I reviewed the first version of Aqua Globs. A straightforward line-drawing game with one level and three units, all the addictive little time waster was lacking was, well, more. More levels, more units and more online integration. Now, with more features and many initial complaints addressed by the developer the little title that could is getting a replay. (more…)

This week I return after a long winter’s nap with the latest video review wrap-up including recently released games such as Bayonetta, Darksiders and Sky Crawlers.
Trenches Review

With its origins in the code-fest that was the 360iDev Game Jam, Imangi Studios has released Hippo High Dive to the app store in tip top accelerometer shape. Adding a purple hippo to the App Store menagerie, you don a tutu around your ample midriff and take to a diving board. Possessing as much grace as Fantasia and your phone-tilting skills can impart, you must guide the star of the show through flaming hoops suspended in the air until you finally land in an improbably tiny pool of water.

ZTGD Weekly Review Wrap-Up Episode 12
This week I deliver a holiday shopping guide of gaming reviews including Torchlight, MX vs. ATV Reflex and the final chapter of Tales of Monkey Island.
Monkeys in Space: Escape to Banana Base Alpha – Review
With line-drawing as established an app formula as match-3, it’s nice when one comes on the scene that doesn’t make me want to cry from the pain of bland mimicry. The abundantly titled Monkeys in Space: Escape to Banana Base Alpha stays true to the simple hook of path management. Polished to a sparkling sheen the addictive gameplay is made impossibly better by the addition of monkeys. (more…)
Cash Cow Review
Cash Cow, a matching game, proves that sometimes all that’s needed for a good app is tried and true gameplay with a fresh spin. A port of the PC version released a year ago, there’s no doubt the iPhone offering is the superior version. Touting slicker gameplay and even increased content, well, it’s from Chillingo, so polish is practically guaranteed. (more…)
ZTGD Weekly Review Wrap-Up
This week I break down the latest holiday reviews including Assassin’s Creed II, Crystal Alliance and a pair of PSP Minis games that are definitely ones to look out for.
Check it out on ZTGD.
iHooy: A Game About Smashing Bombiez
Branded as a castle defense game, the game is advertised as “a cross between Guitar Hero and Metal Gear Solid”. For shame. The developers would have been better off controlling expectations by not comparing it to two of the most popular gaming franchises to date. How exactly is this game like either? Well, there is a guy with a mullet and bandana. (more…)
Crystal Alliance Review
An action-strategy RPG, the story goes that four crystals and that many heroes are the last hope for the town of Thaladon. In a mysterious land where monsters rule, you command the heroes – with conveniently complementary talents – in an effort to take down the unstoppable hoard and reunite the crystals before Thaladon is lost to darkness forever. (more…)
ZTGD Weekly Review Wrap-Up Episode 9
This week I break down the latest collection of holiday madness including Ratchet and Clank, Dragon Age: Origins, Dark Nebula and of course Wii shovelware.
Outbreak Studios Develops Sequel to Bestselling iPhone Game
Peter Björklund, the CEO of Outbreak Studios announced that they have signed up with 1337 Game Design to develop the second episode of the game Dark Nebula for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The first episode of Dark Nebula was released on Apple’s App Store and has already become a bestseller in many countries. Some reviewers have even named it the best game released for the platform to date.
Dark Nebula: Episode 1 Review
Brought to you by 1337 Game Design, the effort behind Dark Nebula is spearheaded by the lead designer of Battlefield 2, which almost makes the level of polish to the environments, controls and interface unsurprising – almost. Dark Nebula is a great looking game, and I love and appreciate the amount of effort that has clearly gone into the title. At about an hour’s worth of game time it’s a notably brief offering, but not without replay value. Frankly, I’m not sure what people’s demands are for a .99 title, perhaps we’re all a bit spoiled by the AppStore budget pricing. (more…)
