Sometimes simple fun is the best kind of fun. A game like Mr. Runner 2: The Masks by Zing Games is the perfect example of this. The original Mr. Runner was a hit, and the sequel seeks to both capitalize and improve upon that. If you're looking to get some arcade-style gaming in quick bursts on your iPhone, Mr. Runner 2 is one of many fine choices. It's got the features, character, and zaniness to carve its own path on the iOS market. Stories in most mobile games seem to not matter...

What do you get when you mix the gameplay and brutality of Mortal Kombat with the characters and universe of DC comics? Good god no, I am not talking about that ill-fated crossover back in 2008. I speak of course about the much more anticipated and infinitely more satisfying Injustice: Gods Among Us. As a fighting game enthusiast and comic book nerd the idea of playing a proper version of what Midway’s past venture into the DC license should have been was an opportunity to not pass on....

Operation Rainfall is, or was, a campaign set up by American Anime/JRPG diehards in which they petition Nintendo to release three games into the western region. To the dismay of the hopefuls involved, Nintendo refused the demands and instead long time favored RPG publisher XSeed picked up the slack and took it upon themselves to publish each title. The targeted titles involved were Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story and the subject we will be discussing Pandora’s Tower. Now I wouldn’t...

In the months, weeks, days and minutes prior to Bioshock Infinite’s release, the only thing loftier than the floating city of Columbus depicted therein was the state of fan expectations for the long awaited follow up to the 2007 classic.  The original Bioshock drowned our collectively lazy expectations of what a FPS could be beneath a placid ocean surface that belied a terrifying world beneath. Arguably not since Half-Life and its sequel had gamers borne witness to so perfect a marriage of...

Initially, what intrigued me most about Badland, Frogmind Games' debut title for iOS devices, was its impressive art style. As a fan of the unique and odd-looking, I immediately fell in love with Badland's shadowy foreground and colorful forest backdrop. What I anticipated when I played Badland for the first time was, at the very least, an aesthetically pleasing title. What I did not anticipate, however, was one of the most memorable and magical games to grace the iOS...

As an RPG series, Fire Emblem is a noteworthy franchise but for some reason never made a big splash in the Unites States. The franchise has been around since 1990 and hasn’t been released or heard of outside of Japan until 2003 when Fire Emblem was released for the Game Boy Advance. Now like me, the majority of American gamers were exposed to this franchise when we played Super Smash Bros. Melee playing as two characters we have never heard of from a series we never knew existed. Flash...
