Review of JOOL by Rostlaub: An Addictive Infinite Runner!

image

I love infinite runners to the point where I’ll even play a bad one a lot longer than I should in hopes it might suddenly become enjoyable. As such, I get a bit nervous when trying a new one due to the small chance it will live up to my self-inflated standards. In some ways JOOL ($0.99) reminds me of another infinite runner I recently reviewed and wasn’t particularly kind to. However, it just goes to show that while one game might falter because of certain criteria, another can shine in spite of such things. This game might not stroke everyone’s plumage the right way, but if you’re a fan of infinite runners like I am, you should at least give it a try.

Review: Zombie Smasher HD

Review: Zombie Smasher HD

Out of flocks of zombie games on iOS platform, Zombie Smasher HD stands out and would undoubtedly attract your eyes. Zombie Smasher HD is another casual game developed by A-onesoft. Smashing is handled very well by the Gravity Sensor and touchscreen adaptation.It's hard to find much to complain about in Zombie Samsher. Simply put, it's a great, special-designed game with excellent balance in terms of level design, controls, and replayability. The other fact that the game looks great is its decent music. Zombie Smasher HD is an easy recommendation for iOS gamers to check out.

What I Played This Week - Gridlee, P.R.O.B.E., Trigger Fist, and Versu!

I have several games to report on this week, plus interesting news about the makers of Galaxy on Fire 2 releasing a mobile space shooter, MMORTS (Massive Multiplayer Online Real Time Strategy) game later this year. So let's get right to it!

First up is Trigger Fist (my favorite shooter of all time), which I finally got around to grabbing an expansion pack for. Second, I'll review an old emulation game called Gridlee, a game other blog sites say allows you to drop other game ROM files into and play, although I have not yet personally confirmed this. If true, the free Gridlee may have a short life in the app store as Apple frowns on emulators and may soon yank it. Third up is P.R.O.B.E., a free Sci-Fi board game I played, which has a synthed up computer voice. Last but not least is Versu, a just-released interactive story app, reminiscent of old-school adventure games.
