First the controls are much improved for touch – no more virtual joystick, just flick the direction you want. There’s also multitouch gestures to activate the [...]

Let me start by saying this is a great game that you’re going to need to try out!

  Cliffed is a reaction style race to the bottom. Your guy can’t jump so when he comes across a boulder, he must go all the way around back to the other side to get at the gap in the floor. Hurry though because if you fall our of frame (i.e. the top bit catches [...]

  Hey, this is Hardboiled Pinball – a very simple pinball game. In the demo that I recorded a while ago, I didn’t realise that landscape view was available in settings ( I had wondered why the game started in landscape and then showed a portrait gameplay). I advise you to switch to landscape as [...]

 Dino Parade is like the Bye Bye Brain series except that it’s with Dinosaurs. Whilst the concept is similar, it’s still a nice and refreshing game to play. To defend yourself against dinosaurs, you have to use a range of household appliances. You’ll have to balance out which appliances to get, or which current ones [...]

Tiki Towers is a great, addictive little puzzle game. You have to build structures (towers/bridges etc) for your monkeys to climb, get the bananas and reach their destination. Your building material at the start is bamboo but you’ll also get coconut and vines. The amount of material you have is limited so create wisely. It [...]

Somewhat of an odd shooting game I came across. It’s a mix between classic arcade shooting style with some 3D-esque environment. As noted in the review comments, it’s pretty much Space Harrier from the Sega Mega Drive.   #182) Gridrunner Girl  Price:  £0.79 Link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-GB/apps/19c6d4f1-ee63-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8 Video:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_JD7mIfzX0  Developer Blurb:   classic arcade space shooter action meets [...]

So this is Flight Control – it’s what the Airport game that I’ve demoed on the N900 and N9 is based from. The gameplay is thus about getting the planes to the right landing tracks. Big planes go on the longer runway, the little one on the little runway. You’ll also notice a H. That’s [...]

This game needs no introduction. It’s PAC-MAN! The game is controlled by a virtual joystick at the bottom. This  has all the effects and sounds of classic PAC-MAN (unlike the clone versions). At £3.99 it’s hard to recommend for a bit of Nostalgia. It is still as ever, fun to play. As usual, there’s a [...]

| May 12, 2012 | 3 Replies

This is one of the most addicting/frustrating running style games out there. It’s called, quite aptly, ‘The Impossible Game’ because that’s what it feels like. If you can calm yourself enough to keep giving it a go, you might be there for a while. Mistakes mean an instant death and restart at the very beginning. [...]

This is an interesting accelerometer based puzzle game. You have a ball and a wire-maze. The ball can travel along this ‘wire’ by moving your Lumia. You must get it to the end point but avoid falling or hitting an obstacle or you’ll restart. Drop It Out is in 3D and you can pinch zoom/rotate. [...]

Your Manga Reader is a fully functioning Manga reader that allows you to download and read thousands (not an exaggeration) of comics in either English or Vietnamese.  Personally I’m not a huge Manga guy (hardly at all) but I know alot of people who are practically addicted so this might come in handy. – I assume the awkward [...]

At first glance from the screenshots, Rocket Riot doesn’t look all that exciting.  This is actually a surprisingly fun and addictive game and looks really exciting in that retro-modern splash kinda thing. Apparently this was an Xbox Live arcade game that is ported to WP7. Not sure how it was on non-touch but it’s pretty [...]

This game reminds me a little of System Rush Evolution, a pretty cool 3D racing game on the N93/N95. It’s an accelerometer based racing style game, though you’re not really racing anyone, just travelling along this very lumia inspired tube. There are items to try and get and obstacles avoid. #173) Warp  Price:  £0.99 Link: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/apps/da1fe4fa-1769-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8 [...]

Fruit Ninja needs little or no introduction, being on pretty much every platform now, including a very physically demanding kinect. It has been on WP for a while, but it was priced way too high.

Need For Speed Undercover is the older NFS game but it’s the version I prefer playing. There’s also NFS Hot Pursuit. I like that the controls are extremely responsive and that the visuals on the display orientate themselves to always be horizontal in my view. i.e. If I tilt right, the game visuals turn left [...]
