1-bit Ninja

It is odd how a game can emulate a classic so unashamedly and completely, and yet fail to achieve anywhere near the same level of quality as its inspiration. Many games are influenced by Super Mario World, but 1-bit Ninja has its eyes... more

Paper Monsters

A charming little game lacking the creativity its presentation suggests is going to be present. Fun while it lasts, but a little too safe to be considered one of the genre's best on iOS. It doesn't take much for a new iOS game to gain a nice bit of hype. Paper... more

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1

Sonic 4 does a fantastic job of recreating the retro Sonic experience that defined many a childhood, but ironically this could be considered its biggest shortcoming. The title screen sets the precedent. Sonic poses behind a familiar looking... more

The touchscreen control mechanic might not sit so well with old school fans, but for newcomers with a patient disposition, Toki Tori is a real treat from the App store. At first glance Toki Tori looks like a less green, egg-shaped version of... more

Tobe & Friends: Hookshot Escape

It's an endless runner with all the addiction of a Doodle Jump, but it has a sharp, decidedly retro twist that makes it more than just a fluffy, throwaway time-waster. The hookshot - the mythical do-all superweapon from Zelda - is not the only... more
