While the Transformers franchise certainly isn’t alien to the mobile marketplace, it certainly wouldn’t be unfair to say — thus far — the series hasn’t exactly been something to look forward to either. Today we’re going to look at how Kabam’s efforts manage […]

The catch is — as Masaru is soon informed by his new promoter: Jubeii — he needs to first make a name for himself, or else he’ll never get invited to the upcoming tournament. Further complicating matters is that the Shiga clan — a secretive ninja […]

While the game certainly isn’t bad — and you could definitely find worse free-to-play offerings — Dash Quest has still managed to be fairly-disappointing, although I definitely appreciated the game’s sprite-based presentation. However, before getting to precisely why Dash Quest rubbed me the wrong way — regarding factors […]

This time around iDevice owners everywhere gain access to Heart Star (out now, free), Jussi Simpanen’s tale of two star-crossed lovers separated by the fact they’re trapped dimensions apart. However, there may yet be hope for the vigilant Star-Boy and Heart-Girl if they can cooperatively solve a […]

Pokémon also finally came to the mobile scene as well — via Pokémon Go — but, despite what most people think, Nintendo didn’t actually have anything to do with Pikachu’s cell phone debut. Of course there were plenty of other stellar games — beyond Super Mario […]

Pokemon GO furthermore arrived to the sound of much applause (and even more exercise), and yet — whether you loved it, or hated it — even this was not actually Nintendo’s first proper iOS gaming foray (seeing as how they […]

Although a version of Megaman 2 — the most coveted title in the series — has also been available on iOS for some time now, it sadly shared many of the porting-problems faced by Megaman X. These games — however […]
