The most successful apps on the iTunes store are the ones which revolve around simple, easy to manage mechanics without any intrusive on screen joysticks or broken tilt controls. Appy Entertainment’s Zombie Pizza doesn’t possess any of these problems, but it is let down by its lack of genuine gameplay.
In years prior, I’ve become way too familiar with the rush and stress of working in a pizza shop on a busy Friday night or first Monday of the school holidays.

Getting frustrated at games is usually an easy thing to do. Bryan Mitchell’s Geared gives us all a lot of opportunity to get frustrated at the games staggeringly hefty level number.
Thankfully, Geared’s simple ‘trial and error’ game-play formula doesn’t get too frustrating, despite the sometimes glitchy game-play faults.
After several months of uncertainty, Apple has finally announced that the Commodore 64 emulator app has been accepted for release.

Several game developers have already been guilty of indulging in some of life’s more reprehensible endeavors. However, there may very well be a new leader to contend with thanks to the release of iPeePee on the iPhone.

Good games go back to the shelf, but great games stick with us for a long time.
Last Cannon is one of those great games.
Thanks to the good folks over at Chillingo and h.grenade, we now have three copies of Circuit_Strike.One (CS.One) to give away to our readers. Known as a standout among the countless Geometry Wars clones, CS.One offers plenty of old school gameplay fused with a good dose of visual and audial heroin.
The game contains one of the most visceral, blood-pumping soundtrack one could hope for in an App Store title; if you’ve ever wanted an iPhone version of Geometry Wars, head inside to win one of three promotional codes we’re giving away!
