    NFL Quarterback Challenge

    iPhone review by Calvin Kemph - Wednesday 23rd December 2009

    “It’s odd having an NFL Quarterback Challenge game, when the event of the same name no longer exists. The yearly ESPN contest found its end in 2007, when ESPN refused to air the special due to the Michael Vicks dog fighting debacle. The only other games the event inspired consisted…” Read more »

    Match 3D Flick Puzzle

    iPhone review by Calvin Kemph - Monday 23rd November 2009

    “Every day there’s a match 3 puzzle game added to the iPhone, most of which are appropriately ignored. The typical concept is to line up 3 or more similarly labeled objects in order to clear them from the screen. Usually they’re replaced by different objects and a score is accumulated…” Read more »

    The Oregon Trail

    iPhone review by Jeff Brown - Sunday 1st November 2009

    “For families traveling the Oregon Trail in the mid-19th century, success and survival depended on preparation, keen wits and a good dose of luck.

    Dexter

    iPhone review by Anthony Karge - Saturday 31st October 2009

    “Dexter Morgan’s mask meter was dwindling when he cut into his latest victim with a cleaver. Jamie Jaworski begged for mercy, but he would not get any. The room in the abandoned construction site had been covered in plastic to prevent any DNA evidence from turning up, and Dexter had…” Read more »

    Fieldrunners

    iPhone review by Philip Morton - Tuesday 27th October 2009

    ““Theirs not to make reply, Theirs not to reason why, Theirs but to do and die” There’s something about the endless onslaught of Fieldrunners that prompts the remembrance of past warfare. As Lord Tennyson’s famous poem captures so well, the huge sacrifices of war are often courageous and tragic. Throughout…” Read more »

    Eliminate Community Day

    iPhone feature by Matt Wadleigh - Tuesday 22nd September 2009

    “ngmoco’s studios won’t stand out if you walk by their building on King Street in San Francisco. Next to AT&T Park (home to Major League Baseball’s Giants) and above the studio for Current TV, ngmoco’s unassuming open office is little more than a large room with 30 or so developers…” Read more »

    iPhone review by Matt Wadleigh - Friday 8th May 2009

    “Quack. Quark. Ark. Rack. Neat. Eat. Ate. Teen. Pain. Panic. Picnic. Nap. WordFu is a game of spelling. Players are given a set of dice, each with a letter, and tasked in 45 seconds to spell out as many words as they possibly can from the allotment. Another deceptively simple…” Read more »

    Tetris

    iPhone review by Matt Wadleigh - Saturday 18th April 2009

    “Tetris has graced almost every console that has been and probably will grace every console that will be.

    Metal Gear Solid Touch

    iPhone review by Jeff Brown - Saturday 28th March 2009

    “Oh Metal Gear, you will not go peacefully into the night. A series that needs no introduction, Hideo Kojima’s mind-melting franchise came to a close with Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Wrapping up all the loose ends from 21 years worth of sequels, prequels and remakes, MGS4…” Read more »
